I found this link below from Unity
I can't open projects created in Unity 2019.4 and below.
That basically says I can't open this project on recent Unity version. I'm thinking if creating a new branch so we don't need to install an older version of Unity could be nice for devs. Or if this is asking to much, just updating it to a newer version of unity?
I'm not much into Unity or Game Dev, so sorry if my suggestion is not ideal.
