The music in the game is notably lacking, with players expressing disappointment over its absence during gameplay, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game has potential, the minimal musical elements contribute to a feeling of incompleteness.
“My issues with the game were that there were a few bugs with the character portrait not appearing, the lack of music during the game, and what felt like a very rushed finish.”
“This is not a bad game per se; it just has bad dialogue, storyline, characters, and music (or the lack of it).”
