  • How to get a game file back from itch.io (if possible)

Hi, I wasnt sure where to write, so I am trying here.
Long ago, I made a game in godot, where I eventually made it to a zip file and uploaded it on itch.io for fun.
Couple years have passed, where I sadly dont have my game file in godot anymore, however I could download my game from itch.io
But when I open the zip file, everything says "index" and there isnt any project.godot either. When I try to import in godot, I cant get the project path to work, but the project installation pack works.

I have no idea where to go from here, any help perhaps if possible? It would mean a lot of there is a way.

The multiple files named "index" have different extensions that are not displayed. If you're using Windows, the setting "hide extensions for known file types" will do that.

I've installed several exported web HTML5 projects to itch.io. The export is object code, not the project source files. If you don't have a backup of the Godot project folder, your source code is gone.

In theory, it might be possible to "reverse engineer" the object code to get the source code in some form.

Here are contents of a .zip file, containing a Godot web export, that I uploaded to itch.io:
