  "title": "[Demo] The Bandit Camp (RPG world state)",
  "description": "A short RPG scene showing the built-in world-state system: the AI tracks your HP and mana, an in-game day counter, an NPC ally's health and trust, and story milestones. No scripting — the engine keeps the numbers honest. Open the World State panel on the left to watch it change.",
  "prompt": "Dawn breaks grey over the treeline as you and Gwen crouch at the edge of the bandit camp. Smoke curls from a dying fire; three bedrolls lie empty. Somewhere ahead, the stolen caravan strongbox waits.\n\nGwen checks her bowstring and looks to you. \"Quiet, or loud?\"",
  "memory": "The player and Gwen, a loyal ranger ally, are raiding a bandit camp to recover a stolen strongbox. The player is a capable adventurer. This is a dangerous but winnable encounter.",
  "authors_note": "Keep it tense and consequential. Reckless moves should cost health; clever ones should pay off. Gwen reacts to how the player treats her.",
  "ai_instructions": "Write in second person, present tense. End each reply where the player can act. Let the world state guide the fiction — if the player is badly hurt, show it.",
