Abstract
Harmony between narratives and game mechanics is essential for sustaining player interest; temporal structures assume critical importance in this regard. This paper introduces the notion of temporal constraints, a component that researchers and designers can use to quantify and assess the way videogame systems regulate the advancement of players within the game, utilizing empirical observation and a review of the relevant literature. Techno-aesthetic ludo-narrative elements, which merge the ludic and narrative components of the game, are how time limitations are represented in video games. Consequently, a taxonomy of these limitations is suggested after an examination of crucial facets of the novel notion.
