UI Overrides — Game-Specific Widget Blueprints

Game: Project Void | Build Phase: 11 Framework Systems: 44_SS_UIManager through 57_WBP_SettingsMenu (all 14 UI systems) Demonstrated By: 8 game-specific WBP_ child widgets

---

Purpose

Defines every game-specific Widget Blueprint override. Each is a child of the framework WBP_ parent, inheriting all framework logic while adding horror-game visual styling, branding, and game-specific menu options.

Rule: Game widgets are children of framework widgets. They override visual styling and add game-specific buttons/options. Never rebuild framework logic in game widgets.
