The game's music is largely absent, with players expressing a desire for dynamic and engaging soundtracks to enhance the experience. Suggestions include incorporating non-vocal, calming music that could intensify during sprinting, which would contribute to a more immersive atmosphere. Overall, while the lack of music is noted, some players appreciate the contemplative nature of the sound design.
“No music, and very few other sounds.”
“Could use some music, but overall it was a nicely contemplative experience.”
“If the dev sees this: non-flat terrain, earlier sprint, and dynamic music (just some music to begin with, something nice and non-vocal, and then speed it up when sprinting or something like that) would go a long way.”
