The Effects of Music on Gameplay and Immersion

This project explores the industry’s understanding of how music affects a player’s gameplay experience and immersion.

To understand music’s affect on gameplay, this project provides players with three identical gameplay experiences. Each gameplay area utilizes a different musical approach and gauges a player’s reaction to each section by providing the player with a survey upon completion of the project.

This helps ensure that the sound effects and music driving the level impacts players more than unique gameplay challenges.
