Key Features

• Gamified Progression: Earn XP and Gold coins as you play and complete games. Watch your level grow from a novice adventurer to a legendary gamer.
• Smart Discord Rich Presence: Automatically displays what you are playing, showing game covers in full HD (1080p via IGDB/Steam) alongside a custom status and interactive link to your gaming profile.
• In-Game Overlay: A premium, neon-themed custom overlay celebrating level-ups, game completion achievements, and toasts with custom line-art vector icons.
• Auto-Completion Detection: Analyzes unlocked achievements in real-time. Once the campaign or epilogue is finished, Quest Log triggers a celebratory banner and prepares a rating card for you.
• Auto-Updater & Setup Installer: Built-in seamless updates directly linked to GitHub Releases. Single-click setups create start menu entries, desktop shortcuts, and support silent tray starts on system boot.
