Trivia / Faust: The Seven Games of the Soul

• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: As of this writing, the plot summary on the game’s Wikipedia page has erroneously stated for some time that the plot twist reveals Marcellus Faust to be the Devil, but this is not the case as the game makes it quite clear he’s actually a formerly human guardian angel who was Brought Down to Normal once again.
• Executive Meddling: According to the game’s main director and writer, Stephen Carrière, the title was once ‘’Faust: A Game of Souls’’, but the marketers didn’t think it sounded punchy enough, so it was changed to ‘’Faust: The Seven Games of the Soul’’, but the original title can still be seen on the loading screen at the start.
• What Could Have Been: Before the game even released, Arxel Tribe were hoping to turn ‘’Faust’’ into a trilogy consisting of 21 “episodes” total, hence the Sequel Hook at the very end, but that never happened.
• Word of God: In 2001, Stephen Carrière appeared on a Game Boomers forum thread to either deny or support various fan theories, clarify a few plot points and character motivations, and mention a few behind the scenes facts.
