Big thanks! I really aimed for this to feel like it belonged right before some more dynamic gameplay, so I'm glad you felt that!
As for music, I felt like in the first part I wanted to sell the "not much happens" vibe. There are only three sound clips in the first part- ticking clock, light switch, and a quiet "thump", that startles Dick, when he's looking out the window. In the end we decided music would distract from that.
Really glad you liked it!
