DAT (Reset)

This format is from a game called "Reset" from Theory Interactive.

Just a quick note here. Probably wrong but was only 2mins of actually looking at process monitor. XD

First 4 bytes is file count.

Index struct is 4 bytes (Number of wchar), ? bytes (filename data), 8 bytes (Location), 8 bytes (File size).

This looks sloppy... I'll fix later. ^^;

Might be fun to get some more experience dealing with 2 byte characters, converting between char sets and such.

This game was cancelled in 2022. So far, only a greenlight demo can be found online. Kind of sucks. Was targeting 2016, then kept slipping... then they disappeared for a while (maybe burned out) and ended up working on an alien game randomly? Kind of upset some backers. Would have been nice if they released what they had but all we have is this demo. Maybe it can be hacked up to find tools or dig in to see anything about the game/story.

Unable to run the game anymore. Not sure what it's missing. Crashes with "data/font/tohoma_10.bin: CreateFile failed: The system cannot find the file specified" Actually... System just needed restarting. Still works okay now.

NOTE: Page needs to be re-written as there is now a game page for the game itself. Need documentation on format itself. Possibly reversing game to see if any hidden debug/developer modes that can be used to modify the game.
