The music in Polyventure is generally well-received, described as good and capable of creating a relaxing atmosphere, akin to a chill soundtrack for an interactive music video. However, the game's minimalistic design and limited player interaction lead to repetitive experiences, with some tracks becoming monotonous. While the music enhances the ethereal environments, many reviewers feel the game lacks depth and purpose beyond its auditory appeal.
“However, the music itself is good!”
“Polyventure is a short dreamy walking simulator, with some really interesting visuals and a very nice soundtrack.”
“The game's focus is on the music and appreciation of it; I looked up at the starry sky at one point and it really felt like I was in a dream.”
“It creates an atmosphere for the song playing in the background, but nothing more.”
“Polyventure seems to be more or less just about wandering around strange locales while a chill 'pure moods' sounding song plays in the background.”
“While I was initially very captivated with the game and its opening enigma - a sadness-sounding tune, it quickly became apparent that the game involved very little (to no) player interaction, instead consisting of the player meandering aimlessly about while a snippet of a song plays, looking at a few things before being warped out of that environment and onto the next 'hub' area which has four pillars of colorful light that the player can walk into.”
