Unused Graphics

Early Background

BG bak.bmp, found in the folder Data\Scene_BG, is an early version of the background seen in the title screen, which has more vibrant colors.

Thumbs.db Files

Throughout the game's directories are many Thumbs.db files, which were used to store image thumbnails in older versions of Windows. Some of these files contain earlier versions of the game's graphics, as noted below:

Folder: Confirm
Contains a folder graphic which doesn't match any the game uses.

Folder: Ingamemenu
Contains the pause menu graphics. Notably, the variations within Thumbs.db are very early, and look radically different from the final game.

This folder graphic contains thumbnails which are don't match any of the final game's graphics.
