ישנו אתגר מובנה ביצירת פסקול שמגיב להחלטות שאין ביכולתנו לתכנן. בהלחנת פסקול לסרט, נוכל לבטוח בכך שסצנה תתחיל תמיד באותה השנייה ובאותו הפריים בכל הקרנה. לעומת זאת במשחקים ישנו אלמנט של אי-ודאות בנוגע לרגע שבו בוחרים השחקנים לקדם את המתרחש. בנוסף לכך במרבית המשחקים כיום מלחין נדרש למלא מספר תפקידים בחטיבת השמע. עיצוב סאונד והטמעת המוסיקה הם חלק מן הכישורים שמלחינים נדרשים להציג בעת הצטרפות לעבודה על משחק.
בקורס נדון בטכניקות הלחנה מתקדמות (המאפשרות למלחין ליצור מערכת מוסיקלית שמגיבה בזמן אמת להחלטות השחקן), בתהליכי הטמעת הפסקול במשחק, ובכלים מעשיים לעיצוב סאונד עבור משחקים ואפליקציות.
