The term "game music" refers to the musical compositions and soundtracks that are specifically created for use in video games. These pieces can range from background ambient tracks, to fully orchestrated scores, depending on the style and design of the game. Game music is often designed to enhance the player's experience by setting a mood or atmosphere, providing emotional cues, and guiding the player through different stages of the gameplay. It can also serve as an important element in creating immersion within the virtual world of the game.
