Holy shit, the dectyption key works, I acquired all of the audio/bgm tracks.

To make sure this works for the next game updates, please explain how did you acquire the decryption key?
Used to deobfuscate rpg_core.js (iirc) which contains the decryption key (which has been showDefault:eval for some time), then did
Code:
cat data/System.json | base64 -d | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -k "put decryption key here" | jq -r '.encryptionKey'

Would you know how to open the game itself in the RPG Maker MZ editor? The json files don't seem to be encrypted but when I try opening it in the editor it's completely blank. Like the files don't exist at all. Is there anyway around that?

The JSON files are encrypted and need to be decrypted.

Is there a way to do that? I've tried using some other file decryption programs specifically for RPG Maker but they were either only specifically for images and audios or out of date. I'm incredibly tech illiterate so I have no idea where to go from there.

Extract this zip into your Escape Tunnel: FE folder and run decryptDataFiles.bat or decryptDataFiles.ps1

Someone's getting Krampus instead.
fun fact there's a female Krampus named Krampette? And no really, she picks up adulterous men.. wouldn't mind her visiting me. While I'm not adulterous (or married) I just want an interesting woman to visit me tbh.

Sadly that didn't do anything. Still blank in the editor

EDIT: NEver mind it worked! It just hit me that I was using my desktop version of MZ to open the project when it's probably a good year out of date. Figured that I should give my steam version a go and there it is! Thank you for the help!
