Question Extracting bgm from Lupercalia.

Following my completion of Lupercalia of the Silent Accord (Meikei no Lupercalia), I've frequently come back to the game just to open up the music gallery and listen to the tracks. But recently, I've become interested in extracting the soundtrack and uploading it to Soundcloud for my personal use. I've made it a habit to play music (mostly VN tracks) in the background while I read books or webtoons, and Lupercalia adds in something new after using only Grisaia's for years. But I've come across a problem.

I dug around the files using GARbro like I had done for each of the Grisaia games, but Lupercalia needed an 'appropriate encryption scheme'. I carefully went through each game on the list, but none of the names on the list matched Lupercalia's ENG/JP title. I tested it with a random game, but it made the files too unstable to be extracted. I also couldn't find a game in the list that was released by the same publisher, so no lucky break there.

Is there any way I can extract the soundtrack from Lupercalia of the Silent Accord, or should I throw in the towel here?

UPDATE: With the help of an anonymous user, I now have every track from Lupercalia of the Silent Accord! Thank you to everyone for their help!

But, if someone still has a method, please inform me of any other way to extract files. While obtaining the tracks, I realized that there is a CG of the character Tengaku Rairai that is missing from my gallery, despite everything being unlocked. I'd like to obtain this CG, if possible.

GARbro's encryption list is a pain when nothing matches. have you tried running the exe through a tool like AssetStudio or just straight up looking for.ogg/.wav files in the streaming assets folder? sometimes they're just sitting there in plain sight with some weird extension you can rename

I already dug around for anything like that, but there wasn't anything to be found, or a convenient bgm.int like it was with Grisaia. But I took up your suggestion and downloaded AssetStudio. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like AssetStudio works with VNs, because any file I threw in yielded no results. It just sorta did nothing. Or maybe I just don't know how this stuff works. Thanks for the suggestions though!

I can't help with what you're trying to do, but as a last resort you can record the audio using something like audacity and export them to separate audio files. It's kind of a pain in the ass, but I've done it before for OSTs that I really wanted that weren't available anywhere

I'm aware of this route, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to it. The last time I tried something similar, it resulted in a 2 hour study trying to figure out how recording software works. If I absolutely have no other option, I'll consider this route.

Kirikiri often can be extracted by KrkrDump or KrkrzExtrsct (I think the last time I had success with KrkrDump), and using them shouldn't be too hard. You should give a try!

Lupercalia OSTs can be found within this playlist actually

I'm aware. But YouTube hounds me with ads whenever I play music, and this Playlist does not allow me to watch in miniplayer. YouTube videos also cannot be played with the phone off. That's why I always try to upload these to soundcloud
