## Overview

Orbshacker is a Windows tool that helps users create and run a process with a chosen game’s executable name, then keeps that process detectable with a graphical countdown timer. The main flow loads Discord’s detectable-game catalog, lets the user search it or enter a name manually, and copies and launches the application under that name. A separate Steam quest flow finds Steam game metadata and creates a partial-download manifest. The map also includes configuration, cleanup, and release updating; unsampled implementation details are represented only where the README documents them.
