Deleted imessage thread I now need back, any legit way to get it?

Guys I messed up. About 3 weeks ago I deleted a full iMessage thread on my iPhone 13 because I thought I didn’t need it anymore. Well, turns out I actually do need it now, it had a bunch of attachments (mostly photos and some pdfs) that I didn’t save anywhere else.

I didn’t have iCloud backup on at the time (I know, my bad), and the thread’s gone from the “Recently Deleted” section too. I’ve been searching online and came across some tools, but most of them either ask for money up front or don’t even detect anything.

Is there any way to get back deleted iMessage attachments after 3+ weeks? Like a recovery software that actually works? Or is it game over?
