Abstract
Sequence Breaking exists in video games where the player gains access to a portion of a game that should be inaccessible. In such instances, a game´s storyline is disrupted. That is, the predefined set of valid event sequences-events being uninterruptable units of functionality that further the game´s story-is not honored. We postulate that sequence breaking most often arises through bypassing geographic barriers, cheating, and misunderstanding on the player´s behalf. Here, we summarize an approach to preventing sequence breaking at run-time with the help of Use Case Maps.
