Is there a way to completely reset a game?

I might want to completely reset a game, by that I mean removing all achievements and maybe playtime too.
Is there a way to do this?

You can reset achievements with SAM but you may not be able to earn them again depending on the game.

Playtime, no.

I think this may be possible if you use Steam Family Sharing to share this game to another account and then play it on that account.

Obviously, that is not an elegant or intended solution.

Games have a way of storing data about your playtime achievements activities advances etc.
The only way to start a new game is probably just change the hardship levels.

You can't clear play time either. Regard your profile as a history record.

Yeah not really a thing worth doing frankly unless you know the outcome beforehand.

Steam Achievement Manager exists (I use it from tie to time to fix achievements)> You can relock achievements but the problem is that it entirely depends how the game stores the variables for those achievements.

For example, if you have an achievement like "kill 100 enemies", and you've unlocked it, because you've actually killed about 150 then relocking it you might think is fine. BUt that 150 killed criteria may still be there as the variable hasn't been cleared.

So when you start the game up again it will either unlock instantly again, or will never unlock.

Sometimes though things go fine, because as I said it depends how the game is written.

So you could always ask in that game's forum beforehand to see if anyone has experience of this.
