The game's music features a single, relaxing track reminiscent of a music box, which plays on a continuous loop, leading to some monotony over time. While the music is generally described as pleasant and fitting for the game's atmosphere, the lack of proper audio controls, such as volume adjustment, detracts from the overall experience. Players appreciate the music as a nice distraction, but the repetitive nature and limited options may diminish enjoyment for some.
“Good music to listen to in the levels.”
“The music is also very fitting - it sounds like a wind-up music box, and plays the same song over and over.”
“Sadly, I found this game much less challenging than QOP 1 and QOP 2, but I enjoyed the music very much and it was a nice distraction from the horrors of real life, albeit a brief one.”
“Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
“The soundtrack seems to consist of only one song, and it's not the song that is in the trailer - but maybe it changes with the seasons (doubtful).”
“The music is also very fitting - it sounds like a wind-up music box, and plays the same song over and over and over.”

“I consider that a worthwhile amount of gameplay time for the price; a little short but a nice experience.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with criticism aimed at the lack of resolution options and graphics tweaks, which detracts from the overall quality expected by PC gamers.

“From graphics to music, gameplay to controls, this game is very well built and a pleasure to play.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
