MAGES. hook

Frida-based tool for hooking and reverse engineering MAGES. engine-based visual novels, mainly to aid in Impacto development.

Tested against Steins;Gate (Steam).

How to compile & load

Inject Frida into the game somehow, I use frida-gadget alongside wine_injector. It should also be possible to use frida-server, at least when running under real Windows.

$ npm install
# Presumes Frida has been injected as gadget into the game
$ frida -H localhost -f Gadget -l _agent.js

Development workflow

To continuously recompile on change, keep this running in a terminal:

npm run watch

And use an editor like Visual Studio Code for code completion and instant type-checking feedback.
