Description
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.
In Tomb Rider Underworld, we find a situation when Lara has to escape from a particular scenario, and sound has a predominant role in providing a clear message of relevance on urgency. [Spoiler:] There is the astonishing Foley of the scenario falling apart and of a very loud alarm, Dialogue from a repeating voiced message, and a overwhelming Music. In conjunction this composition leads the player to urge to the exit. Interestingly enough, this is not an actual time dependent quest [pending: double check this], which even puts more merit on sound design, which provides that illusion.
