Recorded a snow storm or created it through digital production

Mood

The mood of the game seems to be quite cheerful as one character say’s ‘Hey Big guy. Queen of England’ (0:46 - 0:50) and laughter is heard at the end of the clip. (1:01 – 1:07) This give the player the sense that the game is not a totally based on being a serious shooter.

Game genre

The genre of the game may be a shooter as one of the characters say, ‘Verification code alpha two niner Yankee seven’ (0:25 – 0:30) which sounds like something that would be said in the army or police etc…
