This application can decrypt and encrypt SaveData files from various games running on Katana Engine. It can also re-sign these SaveData files with your own SteamID to use anyone’s SaveData on your Steam Account. For games that store data in JSON format, the tool allows exporting and importing JSON files.

I wanted to share a SaveData file with a friend, but it isn't possible by default.
The short answer is: No.
Caution
If you unreasonably edit your SaveData files, you risk corrupting them or getting banned from playing online. In both cases, you will lose your progress.
Important
Always create a backup of any files before editing them.
Important
Disable the Steam Cloud before you replace any SaveData files.
You’ve been warned. Now that you fully understand the possible consequences, you may proceed to the next chapter.

If you’re working on Linux or macOS, skip this chapter and move on to the next one.
On Windows, you can use either the CLI or the GUI version, but in this chapter I’ll describe the latter.
Game Profile is a configuration that stores the settings for a specific game. In plain terms, it tells my application how it should behave for that particular game. This tool ships with these Game Profiles built in. Use the ComboBox (5) to select the Game Profile you want.
You can set the input folder in whichever way feels most convenient:
- Drag & drop: Drop SaveData file - or the folder - onto the TextBox (1).
- Pick a folder manually: Click the button (2) to open a folder‑picker window and browse to the directory where SaveData file is.
- Type it in: If you already know the path, simply enter it directly into the TextBox (1).
Enter the User ID of the user who should become the new owner of the SaveData file into TextBox (3).
In the case of Steam, your User ID is 64-bit SteamID.
One way to find it is by using the SteamDB calculator at steamdb.info.
If you don’t know the owner of a given file, you can try to find it using the Button (4).
If you want to re‑sign your SaveData file/s so it works on another Steam account, select the Game Profile (5) corresponding to the game from which the save file comes. Once you have it selected, enter the User ID of the account that should become a new owner, into the TextBox (3). Finally, press the "Re-sign All" button (9).
Note
The re‑signed files will be placed in a newly created folder within the "KatanaSaveDataResigner/_OUTPUT/" folder.
Modified files are being placed in a newly created folder within the "KatanaSaveDataResigner/_OUTPUT/" folder. You may open this directory in a new File Explorer window by pressing the button (10).
Note
After you locate the modified files, you can copy them into your save‑game folder.
Warning
This mode is for advanced users only.
If you really need it, you can enable SuperUser mode by triple-clicking the version number label (11).
Important
This button is visible only when the SuperUser Mode is Enabled.
If you want to decrypt SaveData file\s to read its content, select the Game Profile (5) corresponding to the game from which the SaveData file comes, and press the "Decrypt All" button (6).
Important
This button is visible only when the SuperUser Mode is Enabled.
If you want to encrypt the decrypted SaveData file\s, select the Game Profile (5) corresponding to the game from which the SaveData file comes, enter the User ID of the account that should be allowed to use that SaveData file/s into the TextBox (3), and press the "Encrypt All" button (7).
Important
This button is visible only when the SuperUser Mode is Enabled and the selected Game Title supports JSON format.
If you want to export the JSON data from SaveData file\s, select the Game Profile (5) corresponding to the game from which the SaveData file comes, and press the "Export JSON(s)" button (12).
Note
JSON files will be exported to the "KatanaSaveDataResigner/_JsonWorkspace/" folder.
Important
This button is visible only when the SuperUser Mode is Enabled and the selected Game Title supports JSON format.
If you want to import the JSON data into SaveData file\s, select the Game Profile (5) corresponding to the game from which the SaveData file comes, enter the User ID of the account that should be allowed to use that SaveData file/s into the TextBox (3), and press the "Import JSON(s)" button (14).
Important
This option will merge JSON data from "KatanaSaveDataResigner/_JsonWorkspace/" folder into the save files located in InputDirectory, provided that both directories share the same folder structure.
Note
The files with imported JSON data will be placed in a newly created folder within the "KatanaSaveDataResigner/_OUTPUT/" folder.
Button (8) cancels the currently running operation. Button (13) opens "KatanaSaveDataResigner/_JsonWorkspace/" folder in a new File Explorer window.

All the problems I've encountered during my tests have been fixed on the go. If you find any other issues (which I hope you won't) feel free to report them there.
Tip
This application creates a log file that may be helpful in troubleshooting. It can be found in the same directory as the executable file. Application stores up to two log files from the most recent sessions.
