Just found it on Twitter!

The Longest Journey HD is a mod for one of the best adventure games ever made. It includes neural network upscaled backgrounds and sprites, redrawn user interface and a lot of other small improvements thanks to ResidualVM implementation of the game engine. You can play it on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Just finished the game for the first time with HD mod and MAN, that is a hell of adventure game, such a great writing, such a thoughtful world and alive characters. It easily goes to my top-3.

Upscaled textures are sometimes goes weird (in little details, like micro movements of a distant NPCs become creepyfest) but overall it looks amazing.

Man, I'd rather deal with original low-rez textures in any game than have creepy creeping bug-shit caused by mods or buggy-fuck engines. My favorite is when you see NPCs gliding along on great balls of air beneath their feet in the distance. I tried playing FFIX recently with some visual mod to sharpen textures and was rewarded with a great, fat blue arrow thingy perpetually in the middle of my screen

No, it's not bad here, and the Pros of this Mod are infinitely more cool than the occasional Contras.

You can see the small distrurbances around hand- and head-animations of small animated figures on the background, stuff like that. Backgrounds and front screen animations are totally cool.

I agree.
Sometimes you notice these small errors but they are really minor and don't distract too much.

In general the game looks really great with the HD mod.
