The story is criticized for being uninspired and lacking depth, with a voiceover that feels like bland poetry and minimal environmental storytelling. Reviewers suggest that improvements in narrative and world design are needed to enhance the overall experience.
“The voiceover story is just bland poetry.”
“I hesitate to call the world well-designed, because there's absolutely zero in the way of environmental storytelling and the designs of the villages and general countryside don't make much sense.”
“Fix up the bugs and add a stronger story next time, and I could see this being quite fun in the end.”

The music in the game is described as calming and enhances the experience of exploring the countryside, making it enjoyable to relax and engage with the environment. The addition of canvas painting filters further enriches this serene atmosphere.
“It's pretty calming just running around the countryside, messing around with the canvas painting filters (which is kind of neat, I'll admit) and listening to the music, perhaps with a drink by your side.”
“The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during long play sessions.”
“While the sound effects are decent, the overall music score feels uninspired and forgettable.”
“The background music doesn't match the game's atmosphere, often feeling out of place and detracting from the experience.”
