}}
Released May 6, 2014. Written and produced by Ben Babbitt and mastered by Theo Karon. An old version was produced, recorded, and mixed by Ben Babbitt. This old version featured the in-game version of "Too Late to Love You" which included the in-game vocal take and a short ambient section after the first chorus (the same found in-game when taking time to decide on a lyrical option), and is 6:14 in length. The newer master by Theo Karon features a different vocal take and is the same one found on Junebug's album of the same name.
"Too Late To Love You" features lyrics by Jake Elliott. "What Would You Give" features vocals by Emily Cross, with Bob Buckstaff on upright bass.
