The game's music is notably limited, featuring only a single song used throughout, which contributes to a robotic and less engaging presentation despite pleasant card art and some appreciated cultural references.

- “I wasn't able to get interested in the story, and the fact that there's just one single song for the entire game doesn't help at all either.”
- “I do appreciate the shoutouts to some of my favorite shows, but the music and writing are lacking compared to the art.”
