The music in the game is described as "divine," adding a unique atmosphere, but its effectiveness in gameplay is inconsistent; players note that while it is intended to prevent characters like Stalin from escaping, it sometimes fails to work as expected, leading to unpredictable outcomes.
- “The music is just divine.”
- “For example, the 'phone guy' says 'hey put Russian music so Stalin doesn't escape from the museum and stays where it should be!', but these rules work half the time. Turning the music up will kill in 3 seconds sometimes (not even because of Lenin), and will work the next attempt.”
