Overwatch is Blizzard Entertainment's team-based hero shooter, first released in 2016, and overtime is one of its most recognisable mechanics. When the match timer expires while attackers are still contesting the objective, play continues until the point is cleared or captured, accompanied by a distinctive alarm and musical cue. Clips of that tense ending spread through gameplay videos, streams and short-form edits, where the sound quickly became shorthand for a match hanging in the balance. It remains popular because players instantly understand the stakes it signals, even outside the game itself.
