📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (2,795 downloads, 79 endorsements) shows players are actually using it.
- Custom music support means you can drop in your own tracks, not just the OST.
- Animated overlay keeps the vibe immersive without breaking gameplay flow.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 79 endorsements—it's a niche mod, so don't expect a huge community around it.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager like Vortex—if not, manually drop files into the game's mod folder.
- For custom music, make sure your audio files are in a supported format (like MP3 or OGG) before adding them.
- Test the overlay in the game's menu first to ensure it doesn't conflict with other UI mods.
