    • “Music: While the newer games have much better music, this game still has pretty good music. However, from a music theoretical point of view, there are many parts to improve.”
    • “Personally, I found the 'music', and I use that word loosely, totally annoying to the point that I said to myself, 'if this doesn't get better, I'll play with the speakers turned off.' Secondly, when the game starts, I was wandering around aimlessly, and the devil was whispering repeatedly something unintelligible. After wandering through the whole first floor/dungeon/basement, I saw two blobs that I guess were silhouettes, but I could not figure out how to interact with them or battle.”
    • “The sound in this game is neither creepy nor enjoyable, but for some reason, the developer is selling the soundtrack by itself.”
    • “Okay, first, play the game before you buy the soundtrack.”

    • “Terribly low quality graphics, textures, models, sound... the controls are woeful, the game uses fixed camera angles like a console game from the PlayStation 1 era.”
    • “The graphical fidelity is not as high as some other games, but coming from one guy, it's still pretty good.”
    • “Despite its lower resolution, Guardian of December boasts better graphics than its predecessors, making the game a visually appealing horror experience.”
