What is music to a game?

[Catonator]

To oversimplify, graphics is what draws a you in

hah

Basically anything you see or hear in games is extra. A 3D model of an enemy in a first person shooter exists as a representation of a hitbox, and nothing more. The code and base game logic are really the only necessary parts of a game. Any further visual flare is just eyecandy. But obviously a game where everything looks plain and uninteresting is, well, uninteresting. And that's where music stands as well. You can make an interesting game without music (Minecraft does this mostly), but music is great for setting the mood. I don't think you'd ever feel scared in a horror game if you didn't have foreboding music.

I'm not sure where I was going with this sdfsdfs bye
