Description
The sound of the Heartbeat, or some variation that more or less consciously resembles it, is a common presence in games.
The use of Heartbeat-like stimuli is rooted on the principle of Entrainment and it has a great impact in terms of the Emotional Script. It is usually associated to situations when it is required an exceptionally high level of Awareness.
Heartbeat-like stimuli may be part of Character Soundprint or may integrate the interface in a non-diegetic manner.
When the kind of Awareness that is to be signaled is related to time, it is common that the rhythm increases as that time vanishes, emulating the process of increasing heartbeat rate of a person who faces an affliction.
Examples
Additional Comments
In the field of music, the emotional effect of tempo relative to the heartbeat has long been explored [pending ref].
