Reception edit

The Guardian said the stakes may seem small, but in the end it's hard not to be invested in the origin story.[4] Rock Paper Shotgun stated the lack of closure can be frustrating, but may be the entire point of the game, similar to life.[5] Inverse magazine criticized that focusing on the band diminishes the personal stories, but it still succeeds in portraying the struggle of corporate and artistic identities.[6] GameSpot said the storyline may feel too "on rails", but praised the characters' journey as expressed in the music videos.[7]

The game was nominated at the Independent Games Festival Awards 2023 for Excellence in Audio.
