The Rule of Rose Original Soundtrack is the soundtrack of Rule of Rose.

The musical score was composed by Yutaka Minobe, who also composed the music of Skies of Arcadia and some tracks from the Panzer Dragoon Orta soundtrack. The entire score was created without electronic instruments - most of the music was produced by musicians using string instruments. According to the game's developers, the music was intended to bring a human element to the atmosphere in the game.

A 6-track promotional CD produced by Atlus was issued to customers from certain retailers when Rule of Rose was pre-ordered. The CD also included exclusive content in the form of wallpapers, music sheets and a promotional video.

A digital re-release was created, now featuring 18 tracks. This version is superior as it has everything from the original release, plus all the main music from the game.[1][2]
