The music in the game is described as a captivating blend of throat singing, synthesizers, and possibly didgeridoo, creating a psychedelic and atmospheric experience. While players appreciate the beautiful and immersive soundscapes, many note that the tracks loop frequently, which can detract from the overall experience.
