The music in the game is widely praised for its relaxing and calming qualities, with options including lo-fi, classical, and jazz that enhance the overall atmosphere. Players appreciate the ability to customize their music and background settings to match their mood, contributing to a cozy and enjoyable typing experience.

“The music choices really help me get into the zone to relax and take each word at a time.”
“The soundtrack is fantastic and relaxing and helps you maintain focus while you work on whatever you want to.”
“I love typing games, I love the sound of rain and lo-fi music, I love a challenge mode and quotes from every corner of genre, and this game has it all!”
“It sucks because it has a really great atmosphere, and I like how it gives you four or five different genres of music to choose from (since I don't usually like most popular genres nowadays), and it is pretty relaxing to play, if only it didn't slow down my typing.”
“The music in this game is calm and really relaxing; I've played for less than an hour and already feel like my typing skills have improved.”
“But somehow the atmosphere of the game creates an experience where my mind tells me that it's okay to fail - just take a step back, relax to some calming lo-fi music, and try typing words in a more slower and calm way.”

The story in the game is perceived as lacking depth, primarily revolving around an old lady sending quotes, which some players find underwhelming. While the visuals and music are praised, and the story mode serves as a motivational tool for improving typing skills, many players express a desire for a more engaging narrative and additional lore, particularly regarding the character of Grandma Anita. Overall, the story mode is seen as a functional but simplistic framework that could benefit from more complexity and character development.
“Even though I've already completed the story mode, I return to this game from time to time because I love the vibe and it helps me blow off steam.”
“I love playing on story mode and find Anita's emails in my inbox a lovely, wholesome touch.”
“The visuals and music are delightful, and while I did not get very far in the story mode, I did find it an encouraging motivation to come back each day.”
“My only complaint is that I wish Grandma Anita had more lore in the story.”
“I thought the 'story mode' would offer a silly structure to the typing, but it is just a misuse of the term.”
“The 'story' is just that an old lady is sending you quotes and... that's it.”
