The music in the game is described as relaxing but ultimately annoying due to the lack of proper audio controls, forcing players to use external methods to mute it. This has led to frustration among users, detracting from the overall experience.
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
- “Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music. You'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
