The music in the game is described as calming and soothing, creating a tranquil atmosphere that enhances the walking simulator experience. However, it features only one repetitive track throughout the entire playthrough, which can become monotonous over time. While many players appreciate the relaxing quality of the music, the lack of audio controls to turn it off has been noted as a drawback.

- “Very soothing music, and quite possibly the prettiest game I've ever played.”
- “Also, no audio controls, so there's no way to turn off the annoying background music.”
- “Other than that, decent music, although repetitive with just 1 track for your whole playthrough which could be around 30-60 minutes for the average player; 4 worlds, each with 3 different levels but no new mechanics within each one; glitchy and sluggish when it comes to how the movement feels, kinda bad when the only thing you do is walk around this giant floating sidewalk.”
- “Music is relaxing, but it's just 1 track.”
