-The urge to complete some goal is usually supported by sound. Considering that time is the dimension that needs to be emphasized in these scenarios, common solutions involve augmenting the perception of time ticking or accelerating some sort of pulse, in a tentative to induce arousal through [[Entrainment]]. Intense and accelerated Music is also a common ingredient. [[Hurry Up|Hurry Up!]] should contribute to the [[Emotional Script]].

They are a form of [[Foley]] that seems elemental and effective as an instrument to implement the [[Character Soundprint|Character’s Soundprint]] and in providing [[Awareness]] for the movement of both PC and NPC. They can also be used as a tool for the [[Emotional Script]] and become part of the [[Signature]] of a game.<br>
-[[Hurry Up|Hurry Up!]] is closely related to [[Window of Opportunity]] in the sense that they both call for urgent acting. Yet they fit different gameplay situations. Whilst a [[Window of Opportunity]] may or may not be explored (it may even concur with a major goal), the case in [[Hurry Up|Hurry Up!]] implies timely completing the goal to succeed.
+Regarding the PC’s [[Footsteps]], they are sometimes combined with [[Breath]] and some forms of [[Grunts]], particularly to denote fatigue. If so, it seems important to consider them in conjunction, since they are dependent and demand some level of synchronization.<br>
-It is common that the pulses used during [[Hurry Up|Hurry Up!]] to elicit the sense of urge through [[Entrainment]] resemble the [[Heartbeat]].
+As with some other sound explorations, the sound of [[Footsteps]] is often exaggerated, particularly regarding loudness, when compared to a real life situation.<br>
