A newer '.sss' version (found packed inside a '.gar' container format)
does appear to have been obfuscated: adding/subtracting a certain
amount to each byte from the output of a xorshift PNR, seeded from the
file-headers supplied immediately before the compressed stream:

Obfuscation (as found here) is not encryption.  But neither is ROT13
encryption either:
