I think you can edit a file with notepad++
saw a post on a different forum
exact message from forum member SPORES is:
Here some "Hack-Edit-Thing".
I use GOG version "2.12.0.15".
There is file "The Curious Expedition\resources\app.asar".
It can be open with Notepad++, and change some variables.
!IMPORTANT! You need be very careful in change some variables, and create backup.
!IMPORTANT! File very sensetive to byte change. Eaven if you change from value 10 to 9 OR 5 to 20, game wont start.
!IMPORTANT! But, if you change Value I from 100 to 1, then you can change Value II from 9 to 100 or 500.
!IMPORTANT! If you need more simple answer, if you cut one byte, you need add one somewhere else.
Tip ^-^ : use description if you need more spare byte to take or add.
Here is list of what i found:
