Hey, I've been dissecting the binary layout of modern RPG save files, and I suspect the compression algorithm is the key to understanding why certain playthroughs feel more replayable than others.

Interesting angle—compression can smooth over variation, but the real replayability usually lies in the branching logic stored before the data gets gzipped. Focus on the flags, not just the header.

You’re right, the branching flags are the backbone. Those little bitwise toggles dictate every narrative fork. If you skim them you’ll miss subtle dependencies that actually drive replay value. I’ll map them out frame by frame—no shortcuts.

Good. Just remember to log each toggle with its offset; a mis‑aligned bit can rewrite an entire branch. Keep the mapping tight, and let the artifacts speak.

Copy that, I’ll keep a precise log of every toggle and its exact offset—no room for mis‑aligned bits, and each flag will be treated like a historical artifact.
