Music can be heard at the opening and ending of the game, and also comes from the settlements. Music can sometimes be heard when there is no visible settlement. This indicates that there are 'the roots of a settlement' in that particular location. Humans can be led to this location and they should settle, and begin to work there.The in-game music for Doshin was composed by Tatsuhiko Asano, who records for GEIST, headed by Alec Empire. Alec is also the driving force behind Atari Teenage Riot, the main act on the Digital Hardcore label. A new album is scheduled for release next year, and Asano is a talented musician who is regarded highly both at home and abroad. The soundtrack for 'Doshin' has been re-recorded by Asano, and will be released by Media Factory in Japan.

Veteran actor Mr. Gozo Soma displays his magnificent voice in the role of Sodol the narrator. The shrieks of delight in response to the player's actions are curtesy of actress Ms. Tamaki Ogawa. Something akin to an angel that exists between reality and the game world, Ogawa has pulled this difficult role off brilliantly.

The edge of the world is marked by the boundary of the square game map, with a world of nothing beyond. This void will swallow up anything that slips over, even a giant! The user should be fully aware of this if tempted to peek over the edge.

The C button unit alters the direction from which the user views the screen. In rough terrain, where it is difficult to ascertain 'Doshin's' position in relation to the ground, the unit can be moved left and right to seek out the best camera position. The camera can be moved closer or further away from 'Doshin' by pushing the unit up or down. The user should choose the easiest position for play. A camera situated in the protrubence in 'Doshin's' belly, gives a special belly-view angle, but 'Doshin' is limited to movement only whilst this is in use.
