The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many users finding it too loud and distracting, often recommending to mute it for a better experience. While some appreciate the calming nature of the music, others criticize its quality and the way it interferes with voiceovers, leading to an overall negative perception of the audio experience.
“+ calming music”
“Only complaint is that the optional music is louder than the scene and detracts from the experience; it's best with it muted.”
“The video and audio of Luke discussing each location is quite nice, although I did run into some issues with the audio. Most voiceovers seem to end abruptly, and in scenes with music, it drowned out the voiceover.”
“The menu and navigation is quite weird; the interactive points to jump to are not that different from each other. The music is poor, the commentary is okay, but of bad quality, and overall it really isn't a good experience.”

The graphics are not high-definition but create a pleasant and soothing experience, enhanced by animated drawn elements over static photorealistic backgrounds. While the spatial audio does not match the quality of the visuals, it still contributes to an immersive atmosphere, complemented by a holographic recording of the narrator.
“Add some animated drawn graphics on top of the static photorealistic image, like plants.”
“Spatial audio is not as good as the visuals, but it's still immersive.”
“The graphics are definitely not HD, but the whole experience, short as it is, is very pleasant, calming, and soothing.”
“Add some animated drawn graphics on top of the static photorealistic image (like plants).”

Overall, the game is well optimized, delivering great performance for the most part; however, players have reported occasional stuttering during the river scene when it loops.
“And it's really well optimized.”
“Performance was great, except for a stutter down in the river scene each time it looped (every few seconds).”
