The music aspect of the game is highly praised, with users enjoying the interactive skits and 360 music videos that enhance the experience. While there is a desire for original songs to receive similar treatment, the existing content, particularly the credits music video, is considered a standout feature. Overall, the combination of engaging visuals and music creates a compelling and enjoyable experience, with potential for future expansions in this format.

“I think I spent more time in the credits and music videos than the rest of the game.”
“This game is one part interactive skit and one part 360 music video.”

The graphics are highly praised for their impressive quality, effectively complementing the game's gameplay and storytelling.

The environments and props are well-designed, aligning perfectly with the game's theme.
“I have not seen such great graphics, gameplay, and storytelling in a very long time.”
“The environments and props used really fit the hot dad aesthetic well, and I think it could be a really cool way of perhaps releasing future music.”

“The character models are poorly designed and lack any real depth or personality.”
“The overall visual presentation feels rushed and doesn't do justice to the game's concept.”
