Version 2.0: updated synopsis | description= Gameplay demanding Sound Input, as in the case of Pitch Gameplay, or requiring some kind of auditory performance such as Rhythm Gameplay, may introduce unfamiliar challenges to players.

One interesting approach to deal with this is to provide in-game (diegetic) feedback and assistance. This not only presents a contextualized way to deliver Awareness to the player, regarding its actions, but can also play an important role in terms of the game’s Emotional Script.

In some examples, this feedback promotes positive emotions, which may contribute to: balancing the distress of unachievement; favouring cognition by maintaining the player in a positive mood [1]
