Track listing[]

# Track Description Audio
1 (No Track) No audio; this is a data track containing the game.

Militaristic, but empty and sombre with a distinctive orchestral hook. Very similar to the music played during the intro cutscene.

Not a waltz. Spare percussion, with piano and strings over the top.

Faster, with repetitive percussion and a synth loop in the background and strings, piano and choir in the foreground.

A march with a repetitive piano, ethereal choir and plucked strings.

An action track with synths, fast percussion and a background choir. String stabs start apparing half-way through.

Much more tribal than the ISDF tracks. Starts out with percussion and choir and builds to include a choir and string/brass sections.
8 "Body Hammer" Actual title scion_2.

An action track with ambient background, bright percussive synths and woodwind parts.

A more tribal track with lots of percussion and string pads.
11 4:48 of a simple A440 sine wave followed by 3:11 of silence.
