The document analyzes sound elements from the game Wolfenstein: The New Order. It describes the setting as modern or futuristic based on recorded or digitally created electrical and robotic footstep sounds. Dark mood is conveyed through a recorded voice line about hunting and killing. The genre is identified as a shooter since the excerpt includes recorded knife sounds, an electric sound, and later gunshots and robotic footsteps. Foreign dialogue between two characters was likely recorded voices later overdubbed in English.

Setting The setting of the game seems to be modern day or in the future as there are
electrical sounds and robotic footsteps.
Robotic footsteps may have been recorded or
made on a computer software and electric sound
would have been recorded or digitally made.
Mood The mood of the game seems quite dark as someone towards the end says “You will
die like a vermin. I will hunt you down.”
Recorded voices
Game genre The genre of the game may be a shooter, as right at the beginning there are knife
sounds and then a few seconds later a loud electrical sound. Then at the end sounds
of a robotic foot step and guns are heard.
The knife may have been recorded while being
sheathed and the electric sound would have been
recorded or digitally made. The guns would have
been recorded at a shooting range.
Narrative Two characters at the beginning are talking in a foreign language and then for the
duration of the cut scene they talk in English.
