That's commonly implemented with shaders. Support for shaders is guaranteed in virtually any game engine.

If Unity has some fancy prebuilt shader library he's leveraging to generate the effects, reimplementing that from scratch might be a lot of work.

Scanlines and vignette are simple to implement and the main stylistic shaders they use. They also use a grayscale one if you trigger a specific situation. There might be others, but again, simple to write.

They also use the particles system for candelabras. Could be reproduced in many engines.
