The game's story is criticized for being poorly executed, relying heavily on text rather than immersive storytelling, and lacking coherence or closure. While some players appreciate the potential of an interesting adventure with time manipulation elements, many feel that the narrative is underdeveloped and fails to engage, leaving them wanting a more substantial and well-integrated storyline. Overall, the consensus is that the story detracts from the gameplay experience rather than enhancing it.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “An interesting adventure story with time manipulation elements, slow down time and do all sorts of things like jumping over cars and through buildings, basically a Dali fever dream but playable.”
- “Levels get more and more challenging as you progress and the story has multiple endings.”
- “In fairness, there's some attempt to make a linear adventure story, as you plod through badly arranged assets (put up in a surreal manner and punctuated by pages of text because the developer, despite 'borrowing' so many asset store packs, couldn't work out the 'show, don't tell' part of game design), so they tried to turn all the borrowed assets into a real game.”
- “Ditto for the story segments that were literally just Arial text on a white background.”
- “I am about an hour into the game, and so far, there is no story as to how and why the world is how it is.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and ability to enhance the experience, with unique soundtracks for each level that contribute to the atmosphere. However, some players find the short loops repetitive and lacking in variety, leading to boredom during extended play sessions. Overall, while the soundtrack is appreciated, it is noted that the absence of audio options and the looping nature can detract from the overall enjoyment.
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
- “This game is also visually stunning and has a great soundtrack.”
- “And some beautiful music and you have yourself quite a unique experience.”
- “Plus the short musical loops that are much shorter than the amount of time you'll spend in the area they loop in, and the absence of any audio options to adjust at all was another sign of low effort on the developers' part.”
- “I would normally wait until I've beaten a game to review it, but throwing some royalty-free music and assets together in Unity then pretending there is a point or story by splashing some text on screen doesn't feel like a very well-designed experience.”
- “However, I spent quite a long time on the 2nd and 3rd level, and the song became quite boring once it looped a few times.”
