The music aspect of the game is praised for its soothing and smooth quality, making it an ideal background accompaniment for other audio sources like calls or streaming music. Players find it to be a satisfying and relaxing addition to their environment, enhancing focus and creating memorable moments while allowing for deep thought or a pleasant escape.
“Meaning you can watch it as you play music from your computer, or YouTube, or Spotify, etc.”
“Just having it in the background can serve you well as an oddly pleasing, mindless distraction: one where it'll fill the void and actually help you focus and relax, yet still let you think clearly and appreciate some music.”
“It is just a very satisfying addition to my environment and I'm glad it's creating some memorable moments when I want to just get lost in some music, whether that's deep in thought or as the ultimate escape when trying to zone out.”
