Granted! However any sort of physical activity (even walking) is now harmful to your health. All of planet Earth's resources are spent manufacturing and powering motorized couches and chairs for every person on the planet. Humanity soon goes extinct because of the physical activity this work required.

I wish Nifflas' game Uurnog wasn't a Humble Monthly exclusive.

Thanks for the suggestions, I managed to fix the problem through NVidia Control Panel!

For anyone else with the same problem, here's how I solved it:
In NVidia Control Panel, on the left side there is a section called "Adjust Desktop Size and Position". Inside there should be a setting called "Perform scaling on: ...", which was set to "Display" in my case. After setting it to GPU and running the game in fullscreen it now properly scales to full height.

Now I only wish I could preserve the sharpness of the image. :/ Perhaps there's a setting for that somewhere too...
EDIT: The term I was looking for is "Integer Scaling", and it seems neither NVidia nor AMD support it right now, so I'm out of luck here.

Within a Deep Forest / Running the game on modern screens.

Within a Deep Forest holds a special place in my heart, so I decided to replay it again on a dark winter night, just like I have when I first played it.

Unfortunately now it's more like "Within a Small Box", because on Windows 8.1 with a 1080p monitor the game is absolutely tiny with its 640x480 resolution. Even setting the game to fullscreen results in the game staying in the same tiny box, just with black bars filling up space on all sides. Is there any fix or workaround for this? Or perhaps a way to render the game at 2x or 3x the size?

Would hugely appreciate it if someone can help me find a solution.

The reason for not using a ' in the title can be due to filenames on webservers not accepting it. Better safe than sorry.
I wasn't talking about the filename though, I meant the track title embedded inside the file (just like artist's name and album title are). Some other tracks have ' in their titles (not filenames), so this is definitely not a webserver issue.

As for the slightly cut-off, can you make sure it is not something your player does? With very large files, some players want to "enhance" the listening experience by loading the next tune just before the end of the song to have a faster transition. With very large files, this can result in cut-off of a song, if ever so slightly.
Yes, I've made sure. I compared tracks in different music players, looked at track's duration as shown in file properties, and also I looked at the tracks' waveform in an audio editor. They definitely have different lengths.

Hello. Just wondering if there's an update to this issue, as well as providing additional details:

1. Some tracks are missing from the Bandcamp release:
- Dub Dictator Goes to Berlin*
- Berliner Bratwurst
- Neon Fall

*note: "Dub Dictator Goes to Berlin" in the bandcamp release is actually "Dub Dictator Goes to Berlin (Alternative)" in the ni2.se release. One of the versions of the track is missing from Bandcamp.



2. Some tracks have inconsistent titles between releases:
- Dub Dictator Goes to Berlin (Alternative) (ni2.se)
- Dub Dictator Goes to Berlin (bandcamp)

- Eight-Headed Mystery Dungeon Monster (ni2.se)
- Eight-Header Mystery Dungeon Monster (bandcamp) <-- obvious typo

- In The Darkness, The Gigantic Drum Bell of Kwakwrakniseereth (ni2.se)
- In The Darkness, The Gigantic Bell of Kwakwrakniseereth (bandcamp)

- Who is This? (ni2.se)
- Who is This! (bandcamp) <-- grammatically incorrect


also:
- Mattebos Mandolin (same in both releases) <-- shouldn't this be "Mattebo's Mandolin"?



3. Some tracks have different duration between releases.
Many of Bandcamp tracks just have 2-10 seconds of silence at the end removed, which is a non-issue (though it would still be nice to bring both soundtracks to the same lengths for the sake of consistency). However there's still a problem with these two tracks:
- "Ljus"
- "Underwater Lab Tune (Alternative Version)"
Both are slightly cut-off at the very end in the Bandcamp version, whereas Ni2.se version has a perfectly smooth fade-out. This sudden cutoff may be noticeable on some sound setups or listening environments.
