itch.io

I think that they need at the very least to be subdued a lot, but I personally would prefer that they were gone completely.  I think the text pops more without it, by letting it breathe a little with the added white space. If you could have provide two versions, that would be great!

My two cents: I think the vignette borders on the pages makes the contents feel more cramped, and gives the design a less crisp look.

Yeah, a wasteland/desert biome would be stellar!
