Examples

Ambiance: A moment of calm allows to enjoy the Ambiance.
Breath: In this case the semantics is reversed. We hear Freeman trying to hold is Breath, not to get drown, which is a clear indicator of Imminent Death that is also very effective in terms of the Emotional Script.
Dialogue: This scene includes disparate explorations of Dialogue. For instance some of the action is experienced exclusively through the discourse, with no visual support.
Menus: When accessing the menu the Ambiance from Gameplay continues to be heard.
Say that Again: Insisting on interacting with a character triggers equivalent messages.
Shout and Yell: A hostile creature shouts as it attacks the PC.
