The game's music has received criticism for its lack of proper audio controls, making it difficult for players to turn it off or adjust the volume without resorting to external methods. Many users find the background music annoying and have resorted to playing their own music, only to discover that the game's music continues to play simultaneously. Overall, the music experience is seen as frustrating and intrusive.
“Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying sound/background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop it using the Windows sound mixer.”
