The music in the game is described as mellow and dark, which some players feel clashes with the vibrant visuals. While the puzzles are appreciated for their beauty, the overall musical experience is considered less engaging, with the option to mute it available for those who prefer. Comparisons to other games highlight a lack of thematic depth in the music.
“The pictures are pretty, and the music is mellow.”
“Its unfair to compare it to Glass Masquerade, as there are not the themes or the music, but the puzzles are certainly pretty enough in their own right and you get a wide variety of puzzles to choose from.”
“The pure black background and the dark somber music do not match well with the bright colorful art.”
“Luckily you can mute the music.”
“It's unfair to compare it to Glass Masquerade, as there are not the themes or the music.”

The graphics are praised for their mystical visuals and unique art style, reminiscent of the game Sable, which enhances the exploration experience. Reviewers appreciate the clever integration of visual design that provides hints about the narrative, and express a desire for future installments to adopt a lighter tone to complement the beautiful artwork.
“I also love the art style, very similar to that of Sable (another great game you must check out if you love exploration), and it's been done cleverly enough that you can get hints from the visual design about what the words mean if you really pay attention.”
“Enjoy the mystical visuals and sound.”
“I hope if they make another one, it will hit the more light-hearted vibe to match the beautiful artwork.”
“Reconstruct fragmented visuals into a mosaic.”
