- “The audio is low in quality, but you can use your own music.”
- “Once you start the game, there's no option to turn off the music if you've changed your mind or accidentally started the game without turning off the default music, so you have to restart the game.”

The story aspect of the game is not explicitly detailed in the reviews, but it highlights the immersive and visually stunning experience that appeals to a wide audience, including newcomers to gaming. Users appreciate the unique features of the Quest version, which enhance the overall experience, while noting that the PCVR version lacks some of these elements, making it feel less complete. The game's ability to engage players of all ages, including those unfamiliar with gaming, is also emphasized.
- “This program was one of the main games that convinced my mother, who is in her 50s and has never really played any game or bought any console or gaming setup for herself, to buy a Quest and learn VR.”
- “Tried this on my Quest and I have to say this is the most beautiful experience I've had in VR to date.”
- “It's a damn shame that this didn't get accepted on the Quest store but I've got SideQuest set up for her at least so she can get this on her Quest.”
- “I love this VR experience, but the Steam version is missing many of my favorite features from the Quest standalone version (speed, width, and resolution sliders, rotation and reverse settings, alternate music, and drawing planets in space), making the PCVR version quite bare-bones.”
