soundtrack elements
Setting The setting is in an old arcade that seems to have been abandoned. The arcade is
silent for a while. Drums start playing when the main character tries to play on the
arcade to create tension. You can hear the sound of an arcade being pressed and
being played with when the character is playing with the broken machine.
Added sounds of drums beating at different
create to make it sound louder or quieter for
tension.
Mood Happy atmosphere, with tension growing in the background as the character starts
playing with the arcade.
Drums get louder to add tension. This technique
shows the louder the drums, the more intense the
situation.
Game genre The game is an action fighting game, as when the character uses the arcade, sounds
of people fighting appears.
Added the sound of people fighting in the
background when the arcade machine was used
to make it sound like a fighting game.
Narrative The narrative puts a happy tone onto the characters that are present. However,
when a character starts playing on the arcade the sound of screaming comes on
which puts tension in the situation and takes the players and characters to a
different world.
An echo effect was added to one of the narrators
to make it sound like a commentator at a fight
club/wrestling arena when the arcade machine is
interacted with.
