Genshin Impact
Design direction
Connect unfavorable artifact outcomes to bounded correction progress and visible next actions, preserving probabilities, drops, Resin, the economy, mastery and build differentiation.

Explore Teyvat and complete quests, puzzles, Domains, and bosses → swap a four-character party and combine elemental skills and reactions in real-time combat → spend Original Resin to claim materials and Artifacts → level, ascend, equip, and build characters and weapons → validate teams in Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater, and Stygian Onslaught → return to open-world, event, and version challenges.
REASONING IN THIS GAME
Selected designs and judgment conditions
Goals and residual processing
Initial IFR · goal direction
Realign rules, exposure, sequence and economic conditions across result, correction and record transitions to recover trust and value.
Final IFR · design goal
Connect an unfavorable result to bounded correction progress and a visible next action within the existing correction ceiling, preserving provenance through distinct-mode records.
