Active healing

Video game concept

Player is required to actively participate in the healing process in some manner, either simply pressing some button down until healing is done or working in some minigame, usually blocking normal gameplay for the duration.

Combining with instant healing also requires that the healing is defined as delayed as it can not require active participation otherwise (healing occurs instantaneously at the end of the process, but not before).

Combining with gradual healing may imply that player may stop the process midway producing partial health restoration. Alternatively with added delayed healing, the effect starts after the process has ended. Essentially simulating the fact that no matter how good the healer is, people don't immediately feel up for the next beating.
