QTE (Quick Time Event)

QTE (Quick Time Event) is a gameplay mechanic used in video games to create interactive cinematic moments. Players must react quickly by pressing specific buttons displayed on-screen. These sequences often occur during cutscenes or dynamic events, adding urgency and engagement. Success in a QTE results in a favorable outcome, while failure can lead to negative consequences or alternative story paths. QTEs enhance the narrative experience by immersing players in the action. They also test reflexes and decision-making skills, making them a popular feature in many modern games.
