    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as simple and low-poly, with some users noting that while they are colorful and stylized, they do not stand out compared to other VR titles.

  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Users expressed disappointment over the abrupt ending of the music, with no options to replay or customize the experience, leading to a lack of immersion.

    • “I was just getting immersed in the end music when it just stops and thanked me for playing. That's it; no option to restart the music or set up some instrument loops, you just have to exit.”
    • “Maybe 10 minutes worth of content unless you spend a lot of extra time at the end trying to make music.”
    • “At the end of the simulation, you 'pretend' to make music, but you're really not even doing that.”
