"Boseman here. Alex, we're about to have another song, and this one is gonna make a lot of people happy, so keep the cameras to the beat and give the viewers a rhythm they'll never get out of their heads."


  • The Menu Theme of the game has a sad and melancholic tune, while the television plays snippets of the available broadcasts. It really captures the feel of what's about to come perfectly.
  • The Loading Screen theme sounds like a classic song, complete with static in the background and a creepy, yet catchy tune. The lyrics provide a fair chunk of foreshadowing too.
  • The Level End song used in Episode 1 consists of light rock music, with the two anchors Jeremy and Megan's introductory voices cutting and looping as the vocals. It has a very triumphant feel to it, and it makes completing that broadcast all the more satisfying. Unfortunately, it was scrapped in Episode 2.
  • "Paint It Red", J-Zuss' rap song in "Day 232: The Silence", is a "The Villain Sucks" Song in the form of The Diss Track, as it indicates J-Zuss standing up for those who are defenseless against Advance and their tyrannical dictatorship, and allowing many people to join the cause of Disrupt. At the end, you just can't help rooting for him, even though he gets arrested afterwards.
  • Lil' C's performance of "These Babies Gonna Bring You Home", from "Day 371: The 20 Week War". Heck, you'll be dancing along to this tune, and even sing along to its catchy, yet provocative, chorus while getting that song stuck in your head for a long time.
  • "Bring It All Down" is dark heavy metal at its finest, with distorted robotic singing background voices and a sad violin tone that matches the destruction of the National Nightly News and Channel One via Alan James' suicide bombing. And this credits music is even darker and gloomier if you played the Genocide Route of this game. "Bring it all down" indeed.
  • "Smart", which plays in the Golden Ending, is a triumphant tango piece about longing for a return to a healthier and more intellectual society. The lyrics consist mostly of references to intellectual public figures, works of literature and television programmes, all with a general theme of "anything that keeps us smart". It makes for a cathartic conclusion to a painstaking playthrough as your country is heralded into a new beginning, with both forces of extremism firmly rejected.
