24 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's music features a mix of humor and creativity, with standout moments like a dragon singing opera and engaging comedic songs. However, the reliance on lengthy AI-generated musical numbers, which lack visual effort and raise ethical concerns about the use of AI in music, has drawn criticism for being lazy and unnecessary. While some players appreciated the humor and quality of the AI voices, the overall execution has left many feeling disappointed.
“I was already amused by the dialogues, but the songs are genius (a dragon singing opera?).”
“Normally I don't buy soundtracks, as they languish on my hard drive, but I still bought them here.”
“The AI voices, however, were surprisingly good, and some of the songs were pretty humorous.”
“The AI 'musical numbers' are long, and obviously the dev got lazy. While the first 'musical number' had some effort put into the actors performing while the music played, the following musical numbers are just a slideshow of AI-generated images.”
“The AI voices and multiple, several-minute-long AI songs are not only unnecessary and morally questionable, but are actively obnoxious.”
“The most interesting part of the game is the discussion around the ethical use of AI, and whether selling an album full of AI-generated music is a moral choice, or just further watering down the already saturated music market where legitimate musicians struggle to get paid for their work.”
