For non-Steam games, you can often find the folder in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86). Once you are in the correct folder, you'll see subfolders like 'Data', 'Assets', or 'Binaries', which house the various game files. Use appropriate tools or software, like a text editor or specific game mod tools, to view different file types.
