The game's low poly graphics, primarily sourced from Synty asset packs, may feel familiar to seasoned gamers, but they are not merely an asset flip; the developers have credited Synty for their contributions to the visual design.
“The low poly graphics may look incredibly familiar if you've spent even a fraction of the time I have exploring the depths of the video game industry, as they utilize synty asset packs.”
“The low poly graphics may look incredibly familiar if you've spent even a fraction of the time I have slumming the dredges of the video game industry... because they're all Synty asset packs.”
