This was one of the first games that really opened my eyes to how computers worked in High School.
IIRC it compiled a collection of ancient text files, and so if you wanted to mod the game it was as simple as finding the right args in the right .txt and then modifying the flag or value. Like I recall the demo had "no blood" but all it did was replace the HEX for "red" with HEX for "green." Switching that turned on blood, which of course was a BIG improvement for 1997.
Anyway, this is super cool and I really wish it was simpler to mess with games like this now. Incidentally Noita is one of the few games that you can still kinda do this with, though you need to know lua :/
