The visuals and music create a calming and immersive experience, making it suitable for meditation.
At an affordable price, the short duration of the experience is complemented by beautiful animations and a nostalgic feel.
The diverse and expertly crafted scenes provide a unique artistic journey, engaging the senses and evoking a dream-like state.

The experience is very short, lasting only about 10 minutes, which may leave players wanting more.
There is minimal interaction, as players can only look around without any gameplay or story elements, making it feel more like a music video than a game.
Transitions between scenes can be jarring, with bright white screens that disrupt the relaxing atmosphere.
