The music in the game has been criticized for lacking a unique soundtrack, relying instead on purchased tracks that often do not fit the scenes or emotional tone, leading to a disjointed experience.

In contrast, others find that serene music can enhance the adventure, creating a wholesome atmosphere.

- “Adventure + serene music/visuals + puppy = a wholesome short adventure.”
- “Some heavy artists like Josh Kramer have a song present.”
- “The game has no unique soundtrack and features bought tracks.”
- “Some music doesn't fit a scene, and some tracks have different pacing or an entirely different approach to the score itself.”

Overall, the emotional impact varies significantly among players, with some moments resonating deeply while others feel disconnected.
