    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising the eerie soundtrack that enhances the atmosphere of dread, while others find it lacking and suggest the addition of more background noise beyond ambient sounds. The title track, "dbr Christmas," is highlighted as particularly enjoyable and deserving of a wider release on platforms like Spotify.

    • “The song is a 9 out of 10 and super funny and creative, 100%.”
    • “The dimly lit streets and eerie soundtrack create an atmosphere dripping with dread, perfectly setting the stage for the terror that lies ahead.”
    • “Music while playing doesn't have to be the big dick randy songs, but just some kind of added background noise other than ambience.”
    • “Important note: this game was made because of the success of the song; the song was not created because of or with this low-effort and terribly boring game.”
  • story6 mentions

    • “The way Randy runs to get you is very accurate to the story.”
    • “I love BDR, but some things my friend and I think would improve this game are: 1. The camera crouching glitch that makes you see your own face, 2. How it takes Randy so long to appear in classic mode; I walked around for half an hour and he was not there, 3. Is Randy not buff because this is before the events of the song, or is he just like that? 4. Some plot holes, like is his house far away from where classic takes place?”
    • “We need more days in escape mode, and we need the snowball thing back in classic. It's hard to outrun Randy in hardcore, and he just gets me.”
    • “Will story mode be about the songs, or will it be set before, like is it his origins?”
