Audio hook

Get Even’s audio design stands out immediately, and composer and sound designer Olivier Deriviere has used the time since we previously saw the game to further refine this aspect. Now pulsing bass notes descend in parallel with your own descent into a building. Black’s panicked breath is folded into music during a firefight so that the sense of danger is unrelenting, even when hidden in cover. And one sequence – during which you must make your way through a portion of the asylum while a crazed inmate leads a chorus of other patients banging on doors and chanting, “The party, the party, the party…” – is so memorable we wouldn’t be surprised if it joined Portal’s cake in the hall of videogame memes.
