Also most QTEs have a set time threshold in which to avoid the default or fail state. Typically (for me) this is not enough time to

a. Detect the threat that requires action

b. Assess the appropriate response (press the ❌️ key and no other)

c. Find and press the ❌️ key.

Commonly the correct key would be randomized and any incorrect actions would result in a fail state. During the mid 2010s, a sad era, games were commonly lousy with QTEs meaning we get to see Lara die over and over and over again.

Some games got creative such as having non‐death fail states (have another beer, or try to seduce the conversing NPC)
