The game's story is generally considered lackluster and unengaging, with many players feeling it lacks depth and polish. While there are some narrative elements tied to the gameplay, they often feel derivative and insufficient to hold players' interest, leading to a sense of emptiness in the overall experience.

The music in the game is generally considered fine, but it often mismatches the gameplay context, creating a sense of urgency in non-time-sensitive situations. While some players found the music enjoyable and atmospheric, others noted that it detracted from the overall experience by not aligning with the game's pacing.

The concept of different superpowers and combining their usage to escape rooms while solving puzzles works well. I found a pair of glitches, and it was fun. The graphics, atmosphere, and music are not bad.”

- “The music is fine, and the voice acting is okay.”
