The music in the game is described as minimalistic and calming, effectively helping players maintain focus. However, there is significant criticism regarding the $21 DLC for the soundtrack, which many feel is an exploitative attempt by the developers to profit from content that should already be included in the game.
- “The minimalistic design and calming background music ensure players stay focused on the task at hand.”
- “Very easy to use and type, love the music added to it as an option.”
- “The developer has their hand out for a $21 USD 'donation' for this as you're expected to give them money for soundtrack DLC (that's already in the game) from Steam to 'support' the 'developer'... digital panhandling.”
- “If you wish to support the developer, consider adding a few pieces of music and ambiance DLC to your library.”
