When [b]Beloved Rapture[/b] was originally conceived, a commitment was made to honor the classic 8:7 aspect ratio of the SNES. Along with the gameplay, story, graphics, music (and practically everything else) also being inspired by the 16-bit SNES era - honoring that old-school square format felt like the logical presentation style.

With so much care and effort being put into the visuals of Beloved Rapture it began to feel that the smaller, square aspect ratio didn't do the game justice.

It bridges the gap between old and new, making best use of modern gaming capabilities, without sacrificing any of that 16-bit DNA that continue to course through every other facet of Beloved Rapture. We hope you are all as excited by this update as we are! -Graeme (2 Left Thumbs)
