📋 About This Mod

This mod removes the letter box from the game's cutscenes and cinematic camera. This is the black bars you see during cutscenes, as well as the side bars.

For widescreen users, this also removes pillarboxing (the side bars) from the mentioned areas above as well as the pause menu, shop menus, and photo mode.

Unlike the other mods, this mod does not require you to run an external app everytime you launch the game, treak values for different screens, or require you to press a key to un-softlock.


I would like to thank the user, "what" on Discord for suggesting me to make this mod and to help test.

NOTE: This mod does not fix the visual artifacts cause by the screen effects in photo mode or the pause menu. I plan to have this fixed in the future. Additionally, this does not remove the black bars in the main menu and the loading screen.
