Description
A customary component of the gameplay is to deal with enemies along the game space. In some situations it is convenient to divert enemies’ attention and possibly to influence them to change their positions, either to be able to deal with one at time or to avoid confrontation at all. Diverse forms of decoy can be included in the gameplay. Sound is particularly suitable for integrating meaningful decoy actions since it allows launching the decoy whilst avoiding visual contact. It also brings advantages both for the plausibility of the decoy and for its usefulness in spaces with reduced visibility.
