Branching Story

1 story
Within Narrative, Choice & Social Systems, Branching Story focuses on decision node; exclusive scene and consequence tracking determine how the subject works in practice. The interaction of route divergence, choice persistence and branch recombination reveals the rules, trade-offs and restrictions that players actually encounter.
Coverage remains concrete by checking state variable, decision preview and narrative branch in the version to which each claim applies. The practical value becomes clearer when player agency is considered beside social consequence. Related features can be mentioned, but Branching Story must provide the evidence or decision the reader came to understand.
