Did I remove my genocide consequences?

[Celeste]

I decided to do a genocide run after a ton of hesitation. I knew the consequences going in, but I heard you could remove them by deleting your files in the %appdata%. However, now I've seen some people say it doesn't work. I deleted my files and started a 2nd run. I don't see the 963 file anywhere. Am I safe?

The game may forget. But you won't.

If you do not see the System 962 and 963 files, you should be good, but I've been told that even if you delete these files you may experience post-genocide run dialogues with certain characters. Just be prepared either way.

[Strider VM]

Just play it. And see the results.

[Wicked Cat]

Flowey will A L W A Y S know what you did...

You're never above consequences.

Right click the file system_information_962 or system_information_963, depending on if you are on post-genocide black screen, or post-genocide post-soul-sold.

Go into properties, then security. Remove [Your username] and [administrators] rights to READ the file. Click apply.

When you next start up the game, it will be as if you had never done a genocide run ever before.

It's only binding until you have the DETERMINATION to break the contract.

I finished my run No post genocide affects. Didn't have to turn off steam cloud or anything. Deleting the file works. I recovered my soul with DETERMINATION!

[Michelozzo]

Ah. More people trying to skirt the reprocussions of a full genocide run. Its amusing to watch really. Even if it does kind of upset me a little bit - out of game file tinkering feels like missing the point of the game to me. But it feels very human to want to find a way out of doing something bad, to get away with it huh? Yup. Very human.

"I didn't do the genocide runthrough, I just watched it on Youtube!"

"I tinkered with the game files so the game doesn't remember what I did, so it never happened!"

Hell, even I did an almost complete genocide run, because I wanted to have a Bad Time. I did, and then I reset. I might not have hit the part where I was forced to do a faustian bargin to keep playing, but I still killed every one just before that point and I am not ashamed to admit it...hell I put it on youtube proudly!

Yeah, very human.
I finished the game at genocide recently and I refuse to do such a thing as
deleting my files to act like nothing happen... but... I can't accept to give my soul. This is a little childish, I know, this is just a game but... I can't accept to do that.

I already had see the others end so, I finished the game anyways.
So ... I accept the consequences.
I accept the darkness.
I accept the emptyness.
I accept to be alone.
Because I got my memories...
and my SOUL.

Good... at least you have the decency to accept your sins. Unlike some people. )

Deep paragraph snipped here

My hat's off to you sir and/or madam (I don't judge). The reason you're stuck in the blackness is the same reason I never went off into that deep end myself - I don't much fancy making a faustian bargin with Toby's little boogey man just so I can keep playing the game, even if it didn't contaminate future pacifist runs. Which it does, so double screw that.
