# sekiro-rs: a Rust and Bevy reconstruction of Sekiro

> sekiro-rs rebuilds parts of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in Rust and Bevy using data extracted from a user's Steam installation. It interprets Havok Script and behavior graphs, TAE events and Lua AI scripts, reads game formats including FLVER and MSB, and rewrites engine combat rules identified through static analysis.
