Time pressure generally adds anxiety and can cause players to make mistakes. It also gives a clear time period to gameplay. Sounds like you don't want that anxiety, but what do you want to introduce? What about lesser amounts of anxiety? Could you have an invisible timer conveyed by dialogue? | |

But rather than a time limit, what about using a reward or score system? Play the old Zork text game. Players competed to see who can finish the game with the fewest moves/commands possible. A score system (instead of time) can also add another factor" "Oops! The astronaut vented the left airlock as you instructed, but forgot about the load of adorable puppies in there! Billions of puppy lovers now want you dead. -250 points to your score!" | |
