The music in the game is described as fitting and relaxing, providing a calming atmosphere for players. However, it abruptly stops upon death, which can be jarring as it leads to a return to the main menu. Overall, the music enhances the experience but its sudden cut can disrupt the flow.
- “Fitting music.”
- “And when you die, everything stops; the music cuts out, your mouse indicator is stuck in its place, and it throws you back to the main menu.”
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
