The music in the game is generally described as nice and relaxing, contributing to a calming atmosphere, though some players find it overly soothing to the point of being sleep-inducing. While the soundtrack complements the graphics well, it may not engage players who prefer more dynamic audio experiences.

Gameplay features a mix of puzzle groups with similar mechanics, alongside some cryptic challenges that feel like bonus content. However, certain mechanics are introduced only once, leading to a sense of randomness and increased difficulty, prompting players to resort to brute force solutions for some puzzles. The overall aesthetic and gameplay draw comparisons to titles like "The Witness" and "Talos Principle."
“The gameplay features groups of 3-4 puzzles with similar mechanics, including some cryptic ones that feel like bonus challenges, creating a diverse and engaging experience.”
“The game has a unique visual style reminiscent of a cartoonish version of The Talos Principle, which adds to the overall enjoyment of the gameplay.”
“There are some groups of 3-4 puzzles with similar mechanics, some obviously cryptic ones (kind of like bonus puzzles), but then there are also some which should be in groups to establish the mechanic, but it's only used once so it feels random and too difficult.”
“I had to brute force 2 puzzles in total because I couldn't figure out the mechanic.”
“Kind of a cartoony Talos Principle look in The Witness gameplay.”
