What is "overwolf"

Overwolf is a software platform created by Overwolf Ltd. which allows developers to create extensions (called applications by Overwolf Ltd.) for video games, which are then offered to users through Overwolf's App Store. Extensions created for the Overwolf platform are often focused on providing in-game services that would normally require a user to exit the game, such as the use of a web browser or an IM client. Other extensions provide game-specific features that can remind users about certain in-game events, easing the game experience. The platform has gained traction in competitive video games, such as eSports and MMORPGs, where native extensions are often forbidden due to concerns about cheating. Overwolf extensions sidestep this concern, since they do not interact with the game engine; they operate exclusively on the overlay created by the main Overwolf program.
