Description
Considering that the mechanics of many games demand managing the health of the characters, an effective way to signal interactions that result in damage to their status is to allow themselves to express such events, diegetically.
Sounds associated to Ouch! have an utilitarian role in making the player aware for the negative consequences of a particular option or circumstance. Yet, their role goes beyond the mere Awareness for a Failure condition, potentiating more meaningful interpretations and contributions to the Emotional Script.
In some ways, Ouch! announces that repeating or not ceasing to meet the damaging condition will eventually lead to Death.
Ouch! is frequently expressed through Grunts, although that depends on the characteristics of the Character's Soundprint.
