The music and sound design in the game are largely criticized as forgettable and unimpressive, contributing little to the overall experience. However, some players found enjoyment in the background music, which appears to be default tracks from RPG Maker.
“It would be a 0 out of 10 if I didn't enjoy the background music, which I suspect came default with RPG Maker.”

Players appreciate the game's humor, particularly the developer's candidness in acknowledging the game's limitations, such as stating, "the game is complete and nothing else is coded in." This honesty is seen as refreshing and adds a comedic touch to the overall experience.
“I love that the dev didn't shy away from saying things like 'the game is complete and nothing else is coded in, but you're welcome to fight some enemies.' It was funny and at least honest to me.”

The story in this RPG Maker game is minimal and lacks depth, primarily focusing on the pursuit of achievements rather than a cohesive narrative.
“Basic RPG Maker game that doesn't really have a plot aside from gaining achievements once again.”
