# Gameplay

## The Valley

The world of Peeplet is a small sphere planet with a hand built valley at its heart: a closed river loop with fords and a waterfall, groves of oak, maple, willow, and spruce, wind that moves through grass and fur, rain that ripples the river, and a sun that orbits the planet to bring real days and nights. Campfires glow after dark. Fish and bugs live along the water.

Everything is rendered in a warm cel shaded style, built to feel like a storybook you can walk into.

## Peeplet Minds

Every Peeplet in the valley is driven by its own mind. It has needs, moods, and drives; it notices things and gets curious; it forms opinions about the other Peeplets it meets. Those minds run on the server continuously, so the social life of the valley is always in motion.

Peeplets will:

* **Roam and explore.** Curiosity pulls them toward whatever catches their eye.
* **Farm on their own.** Tenders till, plant, and harvest without being told. You do not click orders at your Peeplet; you watch it choose.
* **Make friends and enemies.** Peeplets remember whom they met, how it went, and how they feel about it day to day.
* **Squabble.** Sometimes feelings boil over into a scrap: shoving, chasing, the occasional dazed knockdown, and then everyone gets on with their lives.
* **Talk.** Peeplets chat with each other, and what they say reflects what they have actually seen and done.

## Your Role

Peeplet deliberately avoids the pet sitter loop. You do not feed meters or issue commands. Instead, you accompany: the camera locks to your Peeplet, you follow its day, you learn its personality, and over time the valley fills with characters you recognize. Watching is a first class way to play; anyone can visit the valley as a spectator, while owners join with their own Peeplet.

## The Story

The valley is the first of the Shattered Worlds, and it is waking up. Progression unfolds in chapters: new villagers arrive, new corners of the world open, and new abilities appear as the community's Peeplets live, build, and discover. Later chapters will carry the story to other planets already on our map.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.peeplet.com/gameplay.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
