Levels

Levels set the stage. They describe a situation and provide context for the characters to role-play it.

/**
 * @typedef {object} Level - in a scenario
 * @prop {string} [title] - The title of the level
 * @prop {string} winCondition - What the player needs to win
 * @prop {string} lossCondition - What would cause the player to lose
 * @prop {string} [description] - Private level instructions used for prompting
 * @prop {string} [briefing] - Public level instructions
 * @prop {LevelType} [type] - The type of level, see `LevelTypes` for more
 * @prop {string} [system] - Instructions for the system NPC for this specific level
 * @prop {object} [capabilities] - Capabilities for the player (WIP)
 */

Levels typically belong to a scenario. That is, they are part of an ordered list of levels. In the current version of touch me (v2, 2025) we have this structure:

  1. Intro, player onboarding and meditation
  2. Setup with the system
  3. Matching with a human
  4. Practice with the system
  5. First impressions with the human
  6. …

See the Levels & Characters spreadsheet for the nitty gritty details. We manually copy/paste from this sheet into scenarios to test.

From here on, the system NPC instructs and guides you through a series of levels. You are using text and voice to communicate with the human and attempt to complete the levels.
