So you heard of that time a group of people came together to "downgrade" Pointless' art style to that of the main series games? Well have you noticed some of the filler in Painful? You didn't need to go to the orphanage nor the gym and the stone village in area 3 is pretty meh.
And have you also noticed how Ed made like 3 unique backgrounds for Joel's Granddad story and aren't used anywhere else? It's true.
Well this is what Sidetrack is about. Adding a sh!t ton of new unneeded areas that mean nothing other then more gameplay.
It also has a dual-purpose as a diet resprite mod I guess. Trying to make some sprites more in line with the original with some liberties for the fun of it. Here are some now.

Also, some further gameplay changes to make it a bit more Painful-y. Alex and Joel are pretty much unchanged but Georgy is not only a permanent party member he's also a healer now. There's also Young Alex (time fvckery is rampant) and Jason Pike you get after Downtown Olathe.
I'm one of the people who don't dislike Charm Update but can agree that some sprites could have been done better and the removal of enemy HP bars was too much, Pointless being a game where not knowing the enemy HP is a detriment.
