The duo released its second studio album, Player Non Player, in 2023. Loud and Quiet reviewed the album in January 2023 and described Agar Agar as a Parisian synth-pop act. The five-year gap between albums was explained by the duo as being the result of exhaustion after six years of touring and the COVID-19 lockdown.
For Player Non Player, the duo developed a related video-game project with Jonathan Coryn. Institut français presented Player Non Player as a video-game project connected to Agar Agar's album of the same name.

Agar Agar's music was described as electropop by Le Monde and as synth-pop by Loud and Quiet. Reviewing The Dog and the Future, The Skinny described the group as a French duo working with electronic pop.
