Description

Games that include manipulations of time as part of their gameplay, often use sound to enhance the perception of such actions. Solutions typically follow the cinematic tradition. The most common cases are reversing, fast forwarding and slow motion.

Examples

Max Payne 2: "Bullet time": slow motion sounds analogous to performing such actions in a recording.
Bubble Breaker (only in some versions, including Windows Mobile): The Undo operation is accompanied by a "reversing" Sound Effect.
Braid: Reversing and forwarding time sounds analogous to performing such actions in a recording.
LittleBigPlanet: Reversing and forwarding actions sounds analogous to performing such actions in a recording.
Tomb Raider Underworld: Slow motion with effects and the with participation of the sound of Heartbeat.
