This research aims to analyze Quake through a structural lens, focusing on its unique design features.
Proposed a structural reading of the game Quake.
Examined the game beyond conventional fictional world interpretations.
Analyzed emergent coherence derived from design constraints.
Identified Quake as an example of negative game design.
Demonstrated how coherence arises from structural rather than narrative elements.
Suggested broader implications for spatial theory and digital game environments.

V. F. Chevrier (2026) studied this question.
