Thank you for the feedback! We used a PSX shader/ unity configuration... Thing? Cnharlan knows more about how we set that up and could tell you more! But it was a thing we applied to unity to lower the resolution.
I'm glad the reading engaged you! It was something we were worried people would try to skip past or ignore so I'm glad it landed for you!
The lack of expressed purpose was definitely something we noticed a little late into development and we didn't have time to build a solution for. Definitely a note we are gonna keep in mind for future projects!
Thanks so much for playing! :D
