[edit] OST trivia

  • The last track of the album, "Faith", is 9:31 min long, however, the actual music plays for only 2:40 min, followed by six minutes of silence. At approximately 8:40, a noise similar to the static featured within the game becomes audible, culminating in the well-known catchphrase "Find April Ryan... Save her!" Interestingly, the voice is sightly different from Faith's, who is often heard saying these words in Dreamfall. Based on the game's ending, some fans speculated that it may be Zoë Castillo speaking them in this case.
  • The music theme that plays in the game's main menu and the first two trailers of the game is actually a combination of two tracks - "Dreamfall Theme" (01) and "Kian's Theme" (15).
  • Simon Poole and Morten Sørlie are the lead sound designer and the audio director of Dreamfall, respectively.
  • "Lana and Maud" is the theme of the Fringe Cafe in Newport. The song "Rush" plays when Zoë walks home through Casablanca in the end of the game. "Faith" plays in the very end, when Winter collapses.
