Zero Time Dilemma (Windows, PlayStation Vita)

Notes Unused DialogueNot all text is allowed to live. Life is simply unfair. Unused AudioScreams, coughs, and laughter. Evil laughter.

Unused Music#

To do: For prerelease page: Official soundtrack CD has six tracks that were unused in the game, labelled as bonus tracks: Mind Blank, Morphogenetic Sorrow, Fragmented Folie, Sacrificial Demise -Alt-, Profound Divulgation -Alt-, Bogue Solace -Alt-

Present in bgm.cfsi is bgm067.ogg, an unused track that doesn't appear in the 3DS version. Alternately, bgm067.at9 is located in \USRDIR\usound\vita\bgm\ in the Vita release. Its on the official soundtrack CD, labelled as an unused track and named as "Fragmented Folie". It is possibly an unused track for the Quantum Computer Dome, the only room (aside from the Lounge and Decontamination Room) that does not contain a puzzle. The composer, Shinji Hosoe, said that he remembers creating this track, but couldn't remember what it was for.

Rooms#

Study#

Hidden text is written on the side of one of the safes in the study, saying "ゼロはデルテです" or "Zero is Delta".

Inside of 00000000.csfi\map\m170 is the sprite sheet that contains the doll images on the wall of the Study. It also contains a set of "dead" versions, which are seen in the cutscene afterwards once the X-passes are revealed. This leaves the Akane, Sean, Eric, and Mira images unused. Most of them are just higher-resolution versions of the ones used on the Status screen, but the one for Sean is unique to this sprite sheet and the one for Phi has its head tilted to the left.

Infirmary#

A luminol bloodstain in the shape of a person is unused. Based on its position in the game's files, the bloodstain would have been on the medical bed beside the lockers. The words "pls kill me" would have been on the wall above it.

Miscellaneous#

Gab has a mugshot at the bottom of the mugshot sheet, despite the fact that he is a dog and therefore does not speak, although it's possible that his barks could have been shown in text at some point. In the Steam version, this image is used in the Radical-6 and Pop Off fragments whenever Chris speaks in flashbacks. This is likely an oversight.

Inside of 00000000.csfi\system\globalflow00.dds is a placeholder fragment icon. s18aA1 corresponds to the results of execution when characters wake up with the bomb collar on. It also exists in the 3DS version, but it isn't yet known in which file it resides.

Deleted Dialogue#

Text entries that don't exist sometimes correspond to sounds such as laughter, sighing, pain, or crying. Audio entries that don't exist are usually duplicates of common dialogue, such as the announcer or Zero telling the teams they'll be put to sleep. In these cases, the lack of entries is an effort to save space and resources, but the content of these entries can be determined by cross-referencing audio and text.

However, some text and audio entries have been deleted completely, leaving no trace of the original dialogue. There are two such deleted entries.

Suppression#

This is when Mira kills off D-team. The deleted entry is most likely a gasp.

Outbreak / Circle of Fate (1)#

The entries are likely for Control or Sigma and Diana talking to each other.

Version Differences#

Text Differences#

A typo from the 3DS version during the Radical-6 fragment is corrected in the PC version.
