Destiny is an action-roleplaying, first-person shooter game set 700 years in the future in a post-apocalyptic world. The player takes on the role of a Guardian defending the last city of humanity against hostile alien races. Throughout key scenes in the game, there is a voiceover of a man telling a bedtime story to a child that relates to the narrative and sets a serious tone. Many of the sound effects like gunfire were likely created by recording the real sounds and editing them, while vehicle noises were made using fan or engine recordings combined with wind. The voiceover actor was probably recorded in a controlled studio environment speaking the scripted lines.

been used to create specific soundtrack elements
Setting There are multiple settings but it is mostly set on a planet where the players are on
foot and they are firing their guns at the enemy.
The sound of gunfire fills the air and the essence
of war is upon the player. The gun fire is probably
created by somebody firing a gun then recording
it. Also the noise that is created when they are on
their vehicles is most probably done by recording
a fan or a just of wind alongside an engine and
then editing it to get the desired effect.
Mood The mood is very serious because if they make one wrong move they are goners
but at the same time you get the feeling that they are having fun with what they are
doing and can see the lighter side of the situation.
The scene has a man reading a story to his
son/grandson over the top of the action that is
happening and he is telling the story of the jungle
which has a lot of relevance to what is happening
in the scene. Also this makes the scene seem very
serious because it is a life lesson in a story. I think
that the voiceover is a nice touch to it and it has a
real impact on the listener.
Game genre Action-Roleplaying, First Person Shooter. As you would expect in an action game there is a
lot of gunfire and other combat noises happening
all around the player but it also fits the
roleplaying part to because it has a magical feel
around it and sounds to support that.
Narrative Destiny is set seven hundred years into the future in a post-apocalyptic setting
following a prosperous period of exploration, peace and technological advancement
known as the Golden Age. In a universe where humans have spread out and
colonized planets in the Solar System, an event known as "the Collapse" saw the
mysterious dissolution of these colonies, the end of the Golden Age, and mankind
teetering on the brink of extinction. The only known survivors of the Collapse are
Throughout the whole scene there is a voiceover
actor who is telling a bedtime story to a child and
he is telling him a story with a meaning built into
it. This meaning means quite a lot and fits in well
with the story. I think that they created the
voiceover by recoding a man in a controlled

civilizations and are now encroaching upon the City. The player takes on the role of
a Guardian of the City, and is tasked with investigating and destroying these threats
