alt Hacker NewsOh this is genuinely fascinating.
I literally had no idea so much went into the dithering, my presumption was there was just an off the shelf posterization filter applied.
The end result looks fantastic and managed to give me wild nostalgia for playing games like The Manhole on my friends Macintosh Classic as a kid.
One of my favorite games ever, my wife and I played through it together. I feel like there's not a lot of games you can play with another person these days and playing it like that was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend playing it with another person if you have the chance.

May I suggest Her Story / Telling Lies / Immortality ?
There's loads of puzzle games that are great for this! Off the top of my head, check out Lorelei and the Laser eyes, the recent Monkey Island, Case of the Golden Monkey, the two Talos Principle games, maybe The Witness?
Such games are a treasure. My wife and I enjoyed Firewatch and Take of two brothers, as well as all the amanita design games like that. One person has the controls but two people are actively engaged :-). Any tips for others?
I had the same experience playing it with my wife. The shared puzzle solving lead to some very late nights. My favorite game of the last 10 years.

Absolutely. Shameless self-plug to my list of games for "non-gamers" that I find enjoyable with a friend or significant other: https://ronan.jouchet.fr/games?list=nongamer . The first of the list is ...... Return of the Obra Dinn ^^.
