u/MtnDew-N-Halo

OVERWATCH is a complete Half-Life 2 Combine desktop for Linux: boot menu, boot splash, login screen, lock screen and a full desktop shell, all in the style of the Combine interfaces from City 17. It runs on Hyprland and is written in Quickshell.

No game files are included. A script copies the art, sounds, fonts and soundtrack out of your own Half-Life 2 install, so you need the game on Steam.
