Vindictus (also known as Mabinogi Heroes in Asia, and according to the game files) (2010) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by devCAT and created using the Source Engine. It was later released on 
Steam in June 23, 2012.
Vindictus runs on a heavily modified version of the 
Source 2006 engine, despite Source 2007 and later branches are available for licensing when the game was released. The game also supports Direct3D 11 rendering with an update[when?].

.hfs format file compression.
- The games files are compressed via the proprietary .hfs format instead of .vpk. Possibly to counteract cheating or leaking of any game assets.

Source game. These can be extracted with a tool named HFSExtract, this is a command prompt executable capable of mass extracting Vindictus's .hfs files.
