	Breaking [[Diegetic Consistency]] is typically not a design goal in itself, but introducing [[Non-Diegetic Features]] is often to provide players with information they need for the sake of the gameplay and only relevant when a game is to have a diegesis (see [[Diegetically Outstanding Features]] for ways of trying to strongly convey information to players without breaking [[Diegetic Consistency]]). Since this information is most often about the game state, [[Non-Diegetic Features]] are often [[Game State Indicators]] of some sort.

			In games with [[Player Characters]] or [[Avatars]], [[Non-Diegetic Features]] can be used to increase [[Player/Character Awareness Consistency]], i.e, make what players are aware of regarding the game state or [[Game Worlds\|Gam World]] be more similar to what their [[Player Characters]] or [[Avatars]] would be aware of.
