A TRILHA MUSICAL NO GAME DARK SOULS

2020

Abstract

This paper deals with the relationships and meanings between the musical score and the narrative found in the game Dark Souls, establishing parallels between the musical elements and the mythology of this fictional universe, aiming to analyze and understand the function of the music present in the game. To do this, it was necessary to understand the concept of diégesis, the difference between soundtrack and music score, conceptualize gameplay and playability, and ludonarrative dissonance. Therefore, we analyzed four pieces present in the game, selected from research done with a community of players of Dark Souls. In this work the content of the game was also presented in order to contextualize the reader with the study object program. Keywords: Music score. Videogames. Dark Souls.
