Playbook: survival

Stamina, safe rooms, and a threat that actually chases.

Write the loop, not the lore.

Good first prompt:

"Jungle survivor. Stamina drains while sprinting. Zombies chase. A stone hut is the only safe room and it locks for 20 seconds after you enter."

Ask the reasoner to keep v1 to:

Character stamina

One enemy type

One safe volume

A simple HUD (stamina + SAFE)

Iterate with named systems: "Zombies ignore walls" or "the hut never unlocks." Do not say "make it scarier."
