The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with some players praising the eerie soundtrack that enhances the atmosphere of dread, while others express disappointment over the lack of variety and the absence of key songs during gameplay.

- “It's so fun and the soundtrack is unforgettable!”

- “This indie developer basically just cobbled together a low effort trash game and somehow it would seem got the songwriter to agree to be associated with this garbage.”
- “My advice is to just play the YouTube song for free, and save yourself the money on this trash until the developer puts a lot more effort and work into this game.”

- “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?”
- “Will story mode be about the songs, or will it be set before, like is it his origins?”
- “Extension for story mode: (slight spoilers, I think?)”

I would recommend the game, but considering none of the four of us that bought it can run it decently, even on low graphic settings, I'm going to have to give it a negative review.

If it ran well on non-high-end systems, I would give it a positive review in a heartbeat, but I and a few others are disappointed nonetheless.”
