The article explores the phenomenon of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), which is often triggered by visual or auditory stimuli. It highlights a growing trend of gamers experiencing ASMR from video sounds, supported by dedicated YouTube channels. Two games, 'Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders' and 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild', are mentioned for their immersive soundscapes that can induce tingling sensations. The piece notes the limitations in ASMR experiences, as only about 20% of people can experience this sensation.
Autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, is a sensation where visual or auditory triggers fire off synapses in the brain that create a pleasant, calming feeling.
Whether it's the sound of the wind whooshing past as you zoom down a mountain or the lovely snow-scraping sound when you cut a sharp corner, there is no shortage of possible ASMR triggers in this game.
