The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the lack of a unique soundtrack and reliance on purchased tracks that often fail to match the emotional tone of the scenes. While some appreciate the serene music that complements the adventure, others feel that the overall musical experience lacks cohesion and depth, detracting from the emotional journey intended by the game.

- “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.”
