The music in the game features a mix of comedic and operatic elements, with standout moments like a dragon singing opera, which many players found amusing. However, the reliance on AI-generated musical numbers has drawn criticism for their lack of effort and creativity, as later songs devolve into simple slideshows rather than engaging performances. This has sparked discussions about the ethical implications of using AI in music production, raising concerns about its impact on legitimate musicians.
- “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 - where the first 'musical number' actually had some effort into the actors doing stuff 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.”

- “The game has the exact taste of humor that I like.”
