Start here for floor exams, contested authority, and relationships that shape who makes it through a test.
Tower climb
08 / Story structure
Tower climb.
Every floor changes the test.
What it means
Vertical floors, trials or gates divide a long challenge into smaller ones. The structure makes escalation visible and allows each floor to change the rules.
What to look for
Notice whether the trial rewards winning, surviving, or understanding a hidden rule.
Change what counts as a clear
A floor can test entry conditions, survival, or cooperation. Decide who announces the rule, when the player can verify it, and what the floor takes when they fail.
- First playable test
- Use one map for two trials. First require a party to form before a deadline. Then ask that same party to survive a hazard. Record which ally, item, or injury carries between the trials.
