Uniqueness
Block Number 5 is the first game about graffiti to actually display what it's like to paint in the streets, with all the sub-cultural implications of it. Such as being seen as an Artist or a Vandal depending on your style, pushing your name in the streets, competing or allying with other graffiti crews, legality and illegality etc. This is because BN5 is developed by actual Graffiti Writers, and it will also be the greatest collaboration ever made in Street Art and Graffiti, featuring artists from all around the globe.
About the Team
The Studio
In OverKillas Studio we’re 50% nerds, 50% Hip Hop heads, and 100% overkillers.
We are a team since 2020 but Block Number 5 is our first project making it this far into production.
Block Number 5 aims to be the biggest collaboration ever done in the world of Graffiti and Street Art, and it reflects our roots into Hip Hop culture, since among us you can find not only programmers, designers, animators ecc. but also rappers, dj's and street artists.
With Block Number 5 we won Bologna Game Farm in 2023, a free office from the Municipality of Bologna in 2024 and we were finalists in Red Bull Indie Forge 2024.
