Follow this tutorial after installing Akron. Open the overlay, confirm Akron is active, and verify the status shown during play.
1

Launch Celeste

Start Celeste through Everest with Akron enabled.
2

Open Akron

Press Tab, the default overlay bind. If this bind was changed or conflicts with another mod, configure it in Everest’s mod options.
3

Check the current setup

Look at the overlay status area for the current attempt status. Fresh installs should show no attempt classification unless you used a classified feature or imported a setup pack that enables one.
4

Check the status chip

Akron shows the current attempt status: Unclassified, Goldberry/Hardlist clear, Normal clear, or Cheat. Fresh attempts start Unclassified until Akron records classified feature use. The status can escalate during an attempt, but it does not silently downgrade.
5

Try a harmless surface

Open a read-only HUD or label option, such as room labels, then close the overlay and verify that normal gameplay continues.

​
First Setup

Use the default setup if you are exploring Akron for the first time. It keeps the normal overlay workflow available without enabling a proof workflow or HUD surface. Use the overlay to enable only the tools you need. Each use of StartPos restore, warps, frame tools, timescale, and other state-changing tools is a deliberate action that can change the active attempt status.

​
What The Status Means

The status is monotonic for the active attempt. Once a feature escalates the attempt, disabling the feature afterward does not revert the status to its previous level.
