| # | Name | Length | Chapter | Yann van der Cruyssen's comments[1] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inside the Wall | 3:19 | Chapter 1: Inside The Wall | |
| 2 | Dead City | 5:10 | Chapter 2: Dead City | |
| 3 | Follow the Light | 4:58 | Chapter 2: Dead City | |
| 4 | Intruder | 3:28 | Chapter 3: The Flat | |
| 5 | Guardian | 3:28 | Chapter 4: The Slums | "If I recall correctly, it is one case where I put a lot of effects in parallel that would have an impact on the pitch so the instrument would be very dissonant — a lot more than what you hear in the final track — and then my job was just to cut the parts that were too dissonant so that it was okay to be heard. But I like this effect. You can hear that it's almost going to crumble, but never completely. Very unstable." |

| 12 | Dead End | 4:10 | Chapter 7: Dead End | |
| 13 | Raft | 3:17 | Chapter 7: Dead End | "This was initially one of the generic tunes that I put in the playlist for the Slums, and I observed people playing the Slums and getting this 'Raft' tune at various points. Sometimes they would get that when there was dialog, or when they discovered something. And the player didn't know that the song was not made on purpose for that particular moment." |
| 14 | Fuse | 3:31 | Chapter 7: Dead End | |
| 15 | Roberto is Out | 2:09 | Chapter 7: Dead End | |

| 18 | Ant Village | 6:41 | Chapter 9: Antvillage | |
| 19 | Midtown | 4:10 | Chapter 10: Midtown | |
| 20 | Outlaws | 9:02 | Chapter 10: Midtown | "Using typical gamelan scales with synths, instead of an actual gamelan, was one of the directions I took, at first, for some of the pieces, but I was requested to make them sound less dissonant. In fact, the microtonality is mostly gone in the final versions, but I kept the overall mood of these pieces with an occasional wobbly pitch and it was enough to evoke that culture, in my opinion." |

"At some point, I knew that the player would have to enter a room where there would be a radio. I adjusted the length of the music and set specific triggers to switch from the music to the outro of the music at the right time, so that the intradiegetic music would replace extra-diegetic. But sometimes, for many reasons, the developer would decide to take the radio and put it somewhere else. I had to find another way of arranging the score around these elements." - Yann van der Cruyssen's comment |
