I think the issue is either of the following:
- Audio was downsampled to 8K (trying to be PSX vibes) so it sounds very gritty
- Voice lines were written in like a day so didn't really have time to put emphasis on emotion/tone
- We're not voice actors so maybe our voice doesn't really translate well when downsampled
In the future I think I'll avoid downsampling audio because I agree it can sound abit off-putting at times.
Thanks for playing nonetheless!
