The music is praised for being calming and mystifying, but users are frustrated by the lack of game updates, viewing the soundtrack release as a potential cash grab rather than a sign of ongoing development.
- “The music is also very calming and mystifying.”
- “Edit: After six months with no sign of anything even vaguely like an update (though they found time to add the soundtrack as a DLC), changing to a not recommend, since there's no real indication they're going to work on it any further or develop the potential it shows.”
- “A game like this should be seeing minor updates regularly if it's going to turn into anything worthwhile; as it is, it just seems to be an excuse to sell the soundtrack on Steam.”
