Players express a strong desire for a story mode in the game, noting the absence of a narrative-driven campaign as a significant drawback.

Overall, the lack of a cohesive story is a common point of disappointment among users.
“It would be great if there was some sort of missions or tasks to complete.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players praise the incredible soundtrack and haunting atmosphere, others criticize the repetitive nature of the combat, noting that only one song loops throughout the gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack is highlighted as a strong point, but the limited variety detracts from the experience for some players.
“Excellent optimization for an indie game, responsive controls, an incredible soundtrack and just crazy game dynamics!”
“Soundtrack is pretty awesome.”
“The game has cool visuals and soundtrack, a haunting atmosphere, but very little gameplay-wise.”
“Repetitive combat; during the time I played, only one song seemed to just loop over and over. Honestly, I think you're asking for too much as a $10 game (I would've kept it at $2).”
“This game has a small side effect - in the process, you forget to blink. The ultimate edition should not provide soundtracks but eye drops.”
