Analyze the scenario

Using the Flow State knowledge point
The scenario describes María Fernanda becoming so deeply engaged in playing a video game that she loses track of time ("several hours had flown by and the sun has set") and is completely absorbed in the activity.

Identify the psychological concept

Using the Flow State knowledge point
This state of intense focus, deep engagement, and distorted sense of time during an intrinsically rewarding activity is the classic definition of Flow State (or simply flow), a concept introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
