Playing on is pretty much always an option, but white had good reason to resign here. Black was definitely better. First of all, black is up 4 points of material. White also doesn't have an easy way to attack black's king, but black has lots of infiltration ideas against white's king.

I feel like I blundered at some point though by putting my pieces in that overextended position. My rook was pinned which I did not realize until later.
