“The music is relaxing and you can enjoy a stress-free game with plenty of options from sandbox to mission-based.”
“The music and sound design are sublime and understated; they’re perfect for brightening up and selling what may otherwise seem like a boring or repetitive task.”

“Wish I didn't buy the music thing, never listen to it ever.”
“The music is very relaxing but there is no atmosphere; it feels like you are on an astral plain. I would love to have some train sounds (at least a whistle) and maybe some environmental sound effects, as there are no sound effects.”
“The music does get a bit repetitive, but I wasn’t paying any attention to it since I was so focused on building.”
