The game lacks in-game music, which some players find inconsequential as they prefer to listen to their own music or podcasts instead. However, there are mentions of a toggle for music that players have been unable to locate, indicating some confusion about its availability.
“One thing worth mentioning is that the game does not have music, but it really is not an issue; I typically just put a podcast or my own music on instead.”
