    The atmosphere is noted for its strong potential, but some users find the ambient sound design to be jarring, particularly due to abrupt changes in background ambiance when moving between areas. A more seamless transition in sound effects could enhance immersion and overall atmospheric cohesion.

    • “The overall atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking the depth and detail that would make the environment feel alive.”
    • “Despite the game's potential, the atmosphere is often broken by jarring sound effects that pull you out of the experience rather than enhance it.”
