Thank you for commenting. I wonder if this could be another situation like "the dress" (2015) or maybe something is wrong with our codecs...

No, nothing wrong with your codecs. It's sounds shitty. But given the small size and speed it's still impressive.

It's like saying .kkrieger looks like a bad game, which it does, but then again .kkrieger is only 96kb or whatever.

How big are TTS models like this usually?

.kkrieger looks like an amazing game for the mid-90s. It's incomprehensible that it's only 96kb.
