My dog who you see pictured above has specific tastes when it comes to game music. He loves orchestral scores, and absolutely hates anything that contains natural sounds, or odd percussion. He’s right at home with Gareth Coker’s score to Ori and the Blind Forest, and adores Joe Hisaishi’s score to Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch.
Looking at the opposite side of things, when he was a puppy I couldn’t even play Skyrim as the sounds of the birds drove him nuts. As does one of my favorite tracks from Jeremy Soule’s soundtrack “Skyrim Atmospheres”. He also used to howl at anything that resembled a pan flute, I am happy to report he’s gotten over that.
I also used to have a little zebra finch who used to make ‘pew pew’ laser chirps to chiptunes.
So I ask you, does your pet enjoy game music or react in different ways? If you’ve got a game music savvy animal please tell us all about it.
