Trivia
Please note that the Trivia section consists purely or mainly of recurring melodies. This section also may be considered as a spoiler for people who would like to listen to the OST themselves.
- The second part of 9999999 is actually a remix of Music of the Spheres I.
- The track The Courtesy Call has its first part unique to itself, the second part is a sped-up version of Music of the Spheres I and the last part is a slowed-down version of Reconstructing More Science
- Likely made to reflect on the entire game before, Caroline Deleted contains a snippet from The Courtesy Call at the very beginning, a few lines from Cara Mia Addio! right after that, a repeating tune from Don't Do It as well as a few looping notes from Music of the Spheres I both as deep and slow and as high-pitched and fast. The song then changes to a remix of Reconstructing More Science, ending on the buzzing noises from Don't Do It.
- Similarly, I'm Different contains a few repeating tones from Bombs For Throwing at You.
