# Another Life: reconstructing The Witcher 3 save state

> Another Life reconstructs parts of The Witcher 3 Remastered save format and quest state to generate new saves from a player's story choices. Its Rust crates read and write the save container, variable table and token tree, then patch game facts, journal entries and quest graphs into a user-provided template save. The author reports limited successful in-game checks on patch 5.01.
