    Unity's WebGL build process is fairly complex. My understanding is that it starts off with the normal IL2CPP approach but then diverges by sending the C++ code to emscripten which compiles it into asm.js. To reverse engineer code in a game you'd have to not only understand asm.js but be able to reverse engineer code generated and optimized by a compiler.
