Is there any way to fully reset a save file after completing everything in the game?

[Kassetto]

I wanted to show the game to my friend, but I've already 100%'d the game and NULL is nowhere to be found because of it. Is there anyway to completely wipe the save?

You can do Delete Save in data page of the Options menu, but you should back up your data if you want to.

I did that, but NULL's absence still persists

You'll have to go into the YourUser/AppData/LocalLow/Basically Games/Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered and delete your save manually
If you are on windows then this will work, You need to check Show Hidden Files in explorer.
Shift+Delete will do it.

just now did so, it didn't seem to do anything? it did reset my config and story progress but it's still treating other aspects as if i've fully completed the game, NULL still seems to be gone

Huh, maybe it's something to do with Steam Cloud if you have that enabled?

yes- progress is carried over steam cloud so you'd have to turn it off

[Kassetto]

Steam Cloud's been disabled for a while for me. No clue if the game creates an extra "completion" file or if it does any registry trickery, I'm just stumped with this

[|i.c.c.n|]

..huh. I wanna think it's something simpler than that

maybe uninstall and reinstall the game entirely? cause my next thought is maybe the game files themselves remember

[Kassetto]

reinstall didn't seem to do anything either
has nobody ever tried to fully reset? am i the only one?

seems like you're the first one. I do wonder how the game tracks that then if it wasn't a combination of save and game data

No. I've tried. Nothing. NULL is still gone

well. im trying to bring NULL back to the game. im trying multiple things. save files. deleting the game. installing. removing data itself. and i don't know what to do anymore.
But i think you would need a new BALDI_DATA like a new game to restore NULL. like from another account or an copy of the game itself. and the paste in the steam one.
or an completely new game to copy and paste to the steam one.

[76561199105966569]

it seems like you also don't lose your data even in a copy of the game.
Like a new game. completely new. your data is still there.

there's some sort of irony here that's slowly dawning on me :p
an entity gets stuck in game, corrupts, and possibly loses everything as a result.
people visit, and he tells them to leave- to destroy the game. nobody listens.
_ during a last attempt to get you to quit, he is finally freed from his apparent prison... and people want to know how to bring him back

in all honesty though with more proof of how difficult it is to do, I'm immensely curious how preventing a proper reset is being pulled off

edit: question- if you uninstall the game from your library and fully remove the game's data, and instead download/run either the itch.io or gamejolt copies of the game, would that work? since they're very similar except minus Steam integration, so if Steam is interfering then it shouldn't if it doesn't know the game is installed
_ in theory if that works, we know it's something with Steam for sure. if it doesn't, we know to look elsewhere

[76561199105966569]

Well. different types of download is the same thing. same save files. like if i downloaded from an different website. the save file would be same. i tested it. but i think im doing something wrong.
