+# 🎮 RPG Mode – Immersive Task Tracking
+
+RPG Mode transforms the Task Tracker from a simple to-do list into a gamified, story-driven experience. Completing your daily work earns you **energy points**, which you can spend on advancing a narrative — turning productivity into progress.
+
+---
+
+## 🏆 Current Season
+We are **currently on Season 1** of the RPG storyline.  
+
+- **Season Length:** 30 days.  
+- **Purpose:** This is the **introductory story** designed to familiarize everyone with the RPG Mode features, mechanics, and daily decision-making.  
+- **What to Expect:** Future seasons will be longer, more complex, and packed with additional story branches, deeper character interactions, and more impactful decisions once everyone is comfortable using the RPG system.  
+
+Season 1 still offers a fully playable and immersive experience, but it’s intended as a gentle introduction before the storylines expand.
+
+---
+
+## 📜 Story Types
+
+### 1. **Seasonal Story**
+- A **30-day immersive storyline** with interconnected events.
+- Each day offers unique story actions that cost energy.
+- The plot develops whether you choose bold, cautious, or unexpected paths.
+- Your daily choices influence **flavor text**, **story tone**, and the events you’ll encounter.
+- Perfect for those who enjoy being part of an unfolding narrative with suspense and progression.
+
+**Example in Season 1:**
+- Day 4 might present you with a choice to investigate a mysterious signal, patrol a high-risk sector, or rest and recover — each action comes with unique consequences in the journal.
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Light and Fluffy Story**
+- A wholesome, small-town themed alternative.
+- Focuses on lighthearted, feel-good events instead of high-stakes drama.
+- Choices might involve helping a neighbor bake pies, hosting a friendly event, or planting flowers in the community garden.
+- Ideal for players who prefer a relaxing, cheerful tone while still earning energy and unlocking story content.
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Earning and Spending Energy
+- **Earn Energy:** Complete assigned tasks in your Agent Page.
+- **Spend Energy:** Take a story action each day. Some actions may require more energy than others.
+- Your remaining daily energy is displayed in the Agent Dashboard.
+
+---
+
+## 📓 The Journal
+The **Journal** is your personal log of story progression.
+
+- **Location:** Click the *Journal* icon on your Agent Page.
+- **Contents:**  
+  - A chronological record of every action you’ve taken.
+  - Narrative descriptions of the outcomes of your choices.
+  - Special “event entries” for major plot points or achievements.
+- **Purpose:** Lets you revisit past story moments and track your unique path through the current season.
+
+**Example Entry:**
+> *Day 7 – Season 1:* You chose to follow the faint light in the forest. It led to an abandoned outpost. Inside, you found scraps of maps and a journal entry from a missing patrol. The air was colder there… and you could have sworn you were being watched.
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Switching Between Stories
+- At any time, go to the **Settings** tab.
+- Under **RPG Mode**, choose your preferred story type:
+  - *Season 1 Story* (current main arc)
+  - *Light and Fluffy* (casual alternative)
+- You can change between them freely, but each mode tracks its own progress separately.
+
+---
+
+**Tip:** Check your Agent Page daily to use your energy before the day ends — unused energy does not carry over!
