Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a rather unusual problem with Black Mirror 1 (Steam version).
A long time ago I installed a complete savegame pack to get past the star puzzle. Ever since then, all those chapter saves have been permanently stuck in my game — they reappear after every reinstall, on every hard drive, no matter what I do.
After extensive debugging with Process Monitor, I finally found the cause: the saves are embedded directly in data.adb. The engine reads this file on startup and reconstructs the save slots from it every single time. Steam's file verification doesn't help because it considers the file valid.
I would really appreciate it if someone with a clean, unmodified Steam installation of Black Mirror 1 could share their data.adb file with me. The file should be around 2.1 MB and located in the game's main folder:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Black Mirror\data.adb
If you're willing to help, please either upload it here or send me a private message. Thank you so much!

Update: I just want to clarify how easy it is to help — it literally takes two minutes:
1. Install Black Mirror 1 via Steam (if you don't have it already)
2. Navigate to the game folder:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Black Mirror\
3. Find the file data.adb (should be around 2.1 MB)
4. Upload it here or send it via private message
That's it! You don't need to start the game or do anything else. I just need the file from a fresh, unmodified installation — one where no savegame packs or mods have ever been applied.
If your copy has never had any savegame packs installed, your file is exactly what I need. Thank you so much in advance!
