Does the Steam version of Wonderful Everyday VN have upscaled CG?


I'd like to buy _[Wonderful
Everyday](http://store.steampowered.com/app/658620/Wonderful_Everyday_Down_the_RabbitHole/)_
VN. I know that this VN is an old one. The CG was made around 2000-2010 in
480p.

Does the Steam version of this VN have the CG upscaled from 480p to 720p? Or
do they still use the 480p CG like the Japanese version?

I mean, I saw the CG on the internet, the VN still have the black bar for both
side like it was made around 2000, is this same with the Steam version?




**Yes, the CG images have been upscaled to 1280x960.**

Regarding the black bar, it's because the CG's aspect ratio is still in 4:3
(16:12) while most screens are in 16:9 or 16:10 nowadays. Since the aspect
ratio is not the same, the CG won't fit the whole screen and thus

used.
