I'm kinda surprised you got past the intro in the first place because the game usually crashes, when under the wrong locale, right after the intro cinematic where Doug wakes up...

Anyway I think you got it right this time because I looked at earlier versions of the game and I found the same garbled panorama file but in Japanese, it's actually a graphic taken from the original Yume Nikki that could be unused. It's called 夕焼けa. Figured it out because the garbled file also has a regular lowercase "a" at the end. There could be a lot of reasons why it's garbled in the current version. I think the fan translation of Yume Nikki came with both garbled and fixed filenames so the game could run no matter what locale you're running? Anyway I'm getting sidetracked.

This could also actually be the same case with the garbled sound files. If you listen closely, they're all from Yume Nikki. Only this time, the game won't actually crash when it can't find the file! (Thank goodness) Instead it'll just be silent if it can't find it.

I don't really see the point you're trying to make with me checking out the rest of those .xyz files? They're all in plain non-unicode names and should work as normal panoramas. Have fun playing Gnosis! It certainly is a wild ride for sure. Feel free to hit me up if you run into any more errors.
