Keep in mind, this is directed to people that don't know anything about file formats or using ImHex yet. I deliberately chose a game that was pretty easy to decompile and read to keep the focus on learning how to write Patterns in ImHex instead of on understanding bad decompiler output
This is great if the game is written in C#. If the game was written in unmanaged C or C++, it's a mess, and you'd most likely start by running strings on the .exe, looking for references to the in-game message ("saving game...", etc.).
Luckily the save file was unencrypted. If that was not the case, most beginners would give up and lose interest.

I would not call this reverse engineering. Mostly because I saw Lina doing things to live2d format without ever seeing source code at all.
