The music in the game is praised for its quality and artistic integration, enhancing the overall experience and contributing to the game's exploration theme. Reviewers note that the soundtrack complements the visual artistry, elevating the game beyond its clicker origins into a more immersive journey.
- “So I have to talk about the music and the art (all of which are inherently works of art themselves). With every game, small aspects have been updated here and there. In 2, we got a working/moving watch, and in 3, we have hand skin motion. It's small stuff like that that shows us Green Lava Studios is saying, 'You don't want to see us make a passion project, or else triple-A companies will be in trouble.' This separates this game's roots from a pure clicker game into a trippy exploration through one's life journey.”
