It's your Claude Code,
in your game

The Claude Code session you already have open, mirrored into your game. Answer its questions from the queue screen instead of finding them an hour later.

Three things, no fluff

Not a new chat client. Not a new login. Not a second conversation. The Claude Code you already use, in the one place you can't see it: your game.

// 01_same_session

Same session, not a copy

Claudictive reads the sessions Claude Code already has open on your machine, whether they came from the CLI, VS Code, JetBrains or the desktop app, and shows each project as a tab. Send from in-game and it lands in that conversation, under your existing login. Close the game and your editor picks it straight back up.

One hotkey, zero context-switch

Press Ctrl+Alt+G and the chat opens ready to type. Ctrl+Alt+V collapses it to a pill that passes every click through to the game. Rebind anything in Overwolf's hotkey settings.

Never miss a Claude question

When Claude asks "should I commit this?" you see it inside the game and answer it there. The overlay runs in Ask mode by default, so nothing runs without you saying so. No more discovering a stuck session after you alt-tab back.

Testing is open

Claudictive is live on an Overwolf test channel and we are looking for developer-gamers to break it. Ask for a build and we send you the install link, usually the same day.

$ claudictive --test-build request

we reply by hand with your install link. no spam, and one more email when it hits the store.

// 03_questions_before_you_install

How do I get in?
Ask for a build above. Claudictive runs on an Overwolf test channel today, so we send you an install link and you install it through Overwolf like any other app. The App Store listing comes after review, and everyone on the list hears when it lands.
Will I get banned for using this?
Claudictive is a standard Overwolf app, the same overlay platform hundreds of game apps ship on, and Overwolf reviews and signs every build. It never touches game files or memory and never sends input to the game: it is a chat window. Each publisher's rules still apply to you, so if you play something with a strict third-party policy, check it first.
Where is my data stored?
Transcripts, session history and settings live in %APPDATA%\Claudictive\. Your messages go to Anthropic through your own Claude Code, exactly as they do from your terminal. Claudictive asks before adding anything to ~/.claude/ (hook scripts, a status line, one import line) and can remove it all from Settings. Usage analytics and crash reports are off unless you turn them on. The overlay and hub show ads served by Overwolf. Details in the privacy policy.
Mac or Linux support?
No. Overwolf, the overlay platform Claudictive runs on, is Windows only, and a Mac or Linux build would mean a different overlay stack. Not on the roadmap right now.
Do I need a Claude Code session already running?
For the main use, yes. Claudictive mirrors the sessions Claude Code already has open in a project on your machine, from the CLI, VS Code, JetBrains or the desktop app, and shows each one as a tab in-game. Start Claude Code in a project before you queue up. If nothing is open, the overlay says so and offers a Scratch tab: chat with no project, and anything Claude writes goes to ~/.claude/scratch.
What does it cost?
Claudictive is free and shows Overwolf ads. It uses the Claude Code login you already have, so in-game messages count against your existing Claude plan or API usage exactly like messages from your terminal. Claudictive never bills you.
Which hotkeys?
Ctrl+Alt+G shows the overlay with the chat ready to type, and hides it again. Ctrl+Alt+V collapses the chat to a pill or expands it. Ctrl+Alt+D opens the diff viewer. Ctrl+Alt+Left and Ctrl+Alt+Right switch project tabs. Ctrl+Alt+0 (hold) resets the layout. Ctrl+Alt is the default because games mostly bind Ctrl+Shift. Rebind any of them in Overwolf's hotkey settings.
What can Claude do from in-game?
Anything your Claude Code session can, with one difference: the overlay has its own permission mode and starts in Ask, so every edit or command needs your Allow before it runs, whatever mode your terminal is in. You can switch to Plan, Edits, Auto or YOLO per tab from the chat header. Permission prompts your editor session raises show up in-game too, if you let Claudictive install its hooks.
What does it change on my machine?
Nothing in ~/.claude/ without a consent screen. If you allow it: hook scripts and a status line so the overlay can see what your session is doing and hand it back, its own CLAUDICTIVE.md, and one @CLAUDICTIVE.md import line in your CLAUDE.md. Settings > Privacy & Data removes all of it. Say no and in-game chat still works; only the game-exit handoff and answering editor prompts from in-game need a yes.
