A Quick Time Event (QTE) is a gameplay mechanic often found in video games, particularly in action-adventure and interactive cinematic genres. It involves the player needing to respond quickly to on-screen prompts, often in the form of button presses or joystick movements, to perform specific actions or avoid failure in critical moments of the game. QTEs are commonly used during cutscenes or highly scripted sequences, where timing and player input can influence the outcome of the scene.
