" summary

Systematic review of 34 publications builds a three‑part conceptual model (metadata, HFI lenses, play concepts) and codes domains, agency, focus, play structure and experiential textures. Findings show dominance of eating and drinking, human or balanced agency, a tilt toward utilitarian goals, prevalence of game‑like designs with robust rules and hard fun, and roughly half of works being incomplete or lightly validated. Calls for more work beyond consumption, more social/emotional/cultural designs, and broader play types.
