What an interesting idea for a mod, I really tip my hat for all the creativity that the modding Community of this game has! I really didn't know what to expect going into this mod, similar to probably most people I first thought that Harry would be tiny or the rooms would be smaller or something like that but interestingly the "Tiny" part was related to the games filesize!
So the basic idea was to "optimize" the game in a way that makes it still playable and recognizable but significantly lowers the filesize of the game! And impressively enough it did lower the size of it to exactly half the original game size that came out all the way in 2002! It's honestly quite impressive what's possible in terms of slimming down this version buuut after having played this run it is also very obvious as to why the devs did not go down the path of super optimization everywhere and instead focused on keeping the game at least somewhat nice to look at and listen to.
Because wow this mod made the game sooo cursed in a lot of segments! Which was obviously really cool to see but it's still crazy how much of a difference a couple of Megabytes can make in the final product of a game! I especially loved the super crispy sound and some of the textures like the fat lady on the thumbnail just not working properly in the slightest! Very fun experience and discovery of an awesome mod, really enjoyed this one I have to say!
