The second requirement is finding patterns supporting this structure. While the synergy between any types of patterns can provide relevant structures, [[Category:Gameplay Arc Patterns|Gameplay Arc Patterns]] are defined by how they structure gameplay development over time. [[Negative Feedback Loops|Negative]] and [[Positive Feedback Loops]] as well as [[Entrenching Gameplay]] and [[Tragedy of the Commons]] are [[Category:Gameplay Arc Patterns|Gameplay Arc Patterns]] that affect the stability of game states over time, while [[Red Queen Dilemma]] lets game states change without changing players' ability to dominate the development. [[Inherent Mistrust]] and [[Social Dilemmas]] are ways in which the game system can affect the perception players have of other agents that can affect the game state.

 === Examples ===
 Both [[September 12th]] and [[Train]] make players perform in certain ways as part of their gameplay based on an initial description. However, the designs are intended to make players reconsider their actions when they notice the underlying structure of the game system (in the case of [[September 12th]]) or identifying the actual theme of the game (in the case of [[Train]]).

 ''Game designs where the game system is intended to cause critical reflection.''
-Games can easily highlight real world aspects with critical perspectives. While this is most easily done through the diegesis and presentation of the game, the dynamics embedded in the game system can also model systems in the real world that designers may wish to draw attention to. Games with the latter approach have [[Critical Gameplay Design]].

-The online exhibition [[http://www.criticalgameplay.com/thegames.html Critical Gameplay]] hosts several games that highlights features of games often overlooked by designing counter-examples. While the pattern described here is broader in context, the examples show how gameplay can be designed to stimulate critical reflection.
