The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with many users expressing disappointment over the lack of an official soundtrack, which they feel is essential for enhancing the experience. While some recommend pairing the game with various psychedelic albums, others note that the absence of music detracts from the overall enjoyment. Users are hopeful for a future soundtrack, especially since the game is still in early access.
“If you are looking for music to pair with the game, try any of the following albums: Zaba - Glass Animals, Lonerism - Tame Impala, Liminal - The Acid, Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost - Shpongle, Entheogenic - Entheogenic.”
“But it seems fine if you're willing to find your own music for it.”
“Solid visuals but no soundtrack; a game like this needs a soundtrack.”
“There is currently no music.”
“It just needs some background music soon.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant and appealing visuals, with many reviewers noting the unique art style and color palette. However, there is a consensus that the game lacks substantial content and interactivity, making it feel more like a visually stunning walking simulator than a fully realized experience. While the visuals are a strong point, players are encouraged to wait for additional content or a sale before purchasing.
“I really want to like this game because the visuals are awesome, but it needs more substance to it.”
“It's about as much of a game as Proteus is - just a pretty walking simulator, but unlike Proteus, it has an art style I truly relish.”
“If you do read this, I'd like to say, I really want to like this game, the color palette you've used is excellent, the visuals are pretty awesome and the game has loads of potential.”
“The price is cheap, but unless you're really into just looking at pretty visuals, you should probably wait for a sale or until the developer adds more content.”
“The art style is just not my cup of tea.”
“Thankfully the price of the game, even without the initial release discount, is quite cheap at £4.49 (probably even cheaper in the US), but unless you really like games with little content apart from weird, colorful, and pretty visuals, I'd steer clear unless it goes on sale or the developer adds something more to do apart from wandering around.”

Players express a desire for familiar gameplay mechanics, indicating satisfaction with the existing formula, but also hope for the addition of an open-world element to enhance the experience.
“Personally, more of the same with no further 'gamey' mechanics implemented would be fine; I would then hope for an open world, but...”
