Description

Title Screens constitute one of the distinctive components (Sound Places) of sound design in games, along with the introductory Menus, Cut-Scenes, and – the more 'extensive' component – the sound occurring during Gameplay.

Although the exposition of the player to the Title Screens is very short when compared with the other Sound Places, it constitutes the first contact of the player with the game, both when first running and in each new session. Being so, it plays an emotional role that sound can help to explore.
