• Switch sound files
• Switch only one type of file (pursuit levels, can switch level structure and hideout designs, enemies, stalkers, etc.

Discoveries:

• Unused sound: Replace sound files of Level 8 with other files, then go to first candle and over the coals several unknown sounds are played (Level 1 and Level 11 files)
• Unused enemies: Replace enemy files of Level 8 with others, there will be seagulls as secondary enemies from level 1
• Unused hideout: Replace enemy files of any Level with Level 11 ones: pink hides as lamp => unused inside area in Level 11 probably
