Reproduction

Start the game

steam-390040.log

Workaround iCCP didn't work

In the first time I ran the LOG file it came back with the following warning
iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
with:
pngcrush -n -q $( find . -type f -name "*.png" )
I could see that the png files in the game did have incorrect sRGB profiles
I fixed the files using the following from the directory
/Steam/steamapps/common/Small Radios Big Televisions/res/textures

mogrify $( find . -type f -name "*.png" )
