Who it is forGame modder or QA engineer who needs the class and method names in a shipped Unity game
The problemIL2CPP compiles game code to native, hiding the original type and method names.
The outcomeA list of assembly images, types and methods with index ranges from the metadata file.
What you need first
- Node.js 22.x (>=22.19), 24.x (>=24.11), or 26+, plus npm
- An MCP-capable AI agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI
- For native binaries: Hopper, Ghidra or IDA installed locally
- For websites: a Chrome-family browser
- On Linux: a procps-compatible ps on PATH for JavaScript/Electron analysis
Steps
- Locate the global-metadata.dat file from the game you are allowed to inspect.
- Run npx rea-agents setup and restart your agent.
- Ask the agent to inspect the IL2CPP metadata with REA.
- Ask it to summarize the types and methods related to the system you care about.
Prompt for your agent
Use REA to decode the IL2CPP metadata at <path to global-metadata.dat> and list assembly images, types and methods related to <system>. Verify names come from the decoded output.
Caveat. Static decoding supports metadata versions 29, 31 and 39 only. Check the game's terms before analyzing it.
About rea
A plug-in that lets your AI agent take apart an app and explain how a feature works. Part of this week's top 10 repos: ranked #1 on Repo Radar. View morluto/rea on GitHub.
More with rea
- Rebuild a feature you saw, in your own project Have your agent study a feature in an app, then write and test a version for your codebase.
- Map how a website's front end behaves Let your agent inspect a site's page structure, scripts and network calls and explain what the client does.
- Learn how a feature in another app works Point your agent at an installed app and get an explanation of one feature, with the evidence behind it.
- Pull apart a game's web build Use your agent to inspect a game's WASM web build and surface what it contains.
- Understand traffic from a saved HAR or SAZ file Feed a saved network capture to your agent to see requests, responses and the payloads they expose.
- List modules and IPC in an Electron app Run one command on an extracted Electron app or ASAR to see its modules, imports and process boundaries.
- Get readable pseudocode from a native binary Connect your agent to Hopper, Ghidra or IDA and ask what a native program's function does.
- Check what an Android APK declares and does Inspect an APK's manifest, classes and decompiled methods to see what the app declares.
