Supported Targets

Reincarnate lifts applications from bytecode and script-based runtimes — not native binaries. Each engine target has a frontend (extraction + decompilation), a set of IR transform passes, a backend (TypeScript or Rust codegen), and a replacement runtime.

Scope

Reincarnate targets bytecode and script runtimes where the user logic can be extracted and recompiled. Native code targets (C/C++, DirectX games with no scripting layer) are not a current priority — they are much harder to lift and require a different approach (disassembly + decompilation rather than bytecode decoding). Native decompilation is not planned but is not ruled out in the long run.

Two formats are deliberately excluded from the Twine frontend:

• Snowman — Passages are raw JavaScript with <% %> templates. There is no macro DSL to lift; the source is already the target.
• Chapbook — Minimal adoption and a niche "inserts + modifiers" syntax with no significant ecosystem. Not worth the investment without demonstrated demand.

Common Pipeline

All Tier 2 targets share the same pipeline:

Source binary / scripts
        │
        ▼
   Frontend          (engine-specific: parse bytecode, extract scripts)
        │  untyped IR
        ▼
   Type Inference    (recover concrete types from annotated bytecodes)
        │  typed IR
        ▼
   Transform Passes  (constant folding, mem2reg, DCE, coroutine lowering, …)
        │  optimized IR
        ▼
   Backend           (TypeScript or Rust codegen)
        │
        ▼
   Emitted code + Replacement runtime

Each target's roadmap page describes what remains to complete that pipeline.
