What is an AFA file

AFA files mostly belong to KiriKiri2. AFA files are archive files used to store game assets. They are mostly found in games by AliceSoft and often called AlicArch or Alicorn Archive files.

They bundle images, sounds, scripts, and other game data into one container.

They work with engines such as KiriKiri2.

In other cases, these files are used as the Ancestral File format in the Ancestral Quest series. For more details on that format, visit this page.
FilExt.com tip: This file type is specialized and not intended for manual editing. Using the right extraction tool is the best way to view its contents.

How to open an AFA file

You need a suitable software like KiriKiri2 to open an AFA file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your AFA file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AFA file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

AFA file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Below is our analysis of the AFA files:

Files with the AFA extension are quite widely used. This file type mainly uses a special format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 90% of all AFA files use the same file format, which have the signature AFAH. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. AFA files can be up to 1 GB in size, but are often around 2 MB - 1 GB. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The keywords AFAH, AlicArch and INFO are typical for these files. A usual file name is dohnadohnaCG.afa or EvenicleCG.afa. Files like these are sometimes connected to evenicle, rance, dohnadohna, sound, pact, hentai, flat and tsumamigui.
• 2% of all AFA files start with the magic bytes ÿAQ, which are always the first bytes of this file format. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. Most of these files are 340 bytes to 2 KB in size. Such AFA files store data about family and tree.

The remaining 8% of all AFA files are different files with different signatures, such as Astrotite compressed archive. The category is labyrinthcg, mamancg, trialcg, voice, labyrinth or haharanmancg.
