The game lacks a traditional narrative, with users noting that it feels more like a creative tool than a story-driven experience. Many reviews highlight the absence of updates and support for the Steam version, which has led to a perception of abandonment in favor of the Oculus Quest version, where players enjoy more features and consistent updates. Overall, while the game excels in providing a platform for artistic expression, it does not offer a compelling story or character development.
- “Superb work, I am tempted to criticize it for attempting to convey the hip-hop vibe which looks lighthearted but clearly comes from a place that is sophisticated and substantial, so an almost impossible mission.”
- “Moral of the story, it is a really good game when it works, so if you are willing to work with it, it is worth it but personally, you would be better off without it.”
- “Great game.. would love to see them push some updates they made to the quest version to other platforms too.”
- “☑ no story”
- “No interaction with the outer world or story or anything.”
- “The developers just seem to care about the Oculus Quest version compared to this one.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the chill atmosphere and the option to use their own music or internet radio stations, while others express frustration over the inability to disable or adjust the volume of the in-game music, which can include ads.

Overall, the soundtrack is praised for its selection, but the implementation leaves room for improvement.
- “The music and ambience is so perfectly done, you can kill hours and hours just spraying away.”
- “The soundtrack is awesome and it also features radio streaming, not only did they include hip hop stations, but real metal stations (that I prefer) and I don't mean rock, I mean metal!”
- “It's great to just be in the zone with the in-game music and from time to time join a public game and vibe with someone else.”
- “No setting to turn off the bunker music.”
- “Menu music can't be disabled or turned down; that already made me hate the game.”
- “The music box in-game plays real-life ads, and this is for a game I paid money for—absolutely unacceptable.”

- “I could go on forever about how both versions have unique bugs and downsides but they are all pretty minor (so far anyway lol) such as artwork you make in the Steam version being mirrored when saved (super weird).”

Then you go to load a regular level and it hangs on the load screen until you force shutdown the app.”
