For anyone interested in seeing how dithering can be pushed to the limits, play 'Return of the Obra Dinn'. Dithering will always remind you of this game after that.

On Return of the Obra Dinn's dithering specifically, here is the original developer blog on its dithering: https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=40832.msg136374...
It's intended, aesthetically, to remind you of Atkinson dithering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkinson_dithering), a variant of Floyd-Steinberg dithering often used in graphics for the black-and-white Macintosh.
