How the branching works
Most branching stories are trees someone wrote ahead of time, with a few paths and a few endings. This one has no tree. At each turn the story offers suggested next moves, and you pick one or type your own. The next scene is written from that choice, so a branch exists the moment you take it, and nothing limits you to the options on screen. Type a move none of the suggestions offered, and the story follows it there. There are no scores and no set endings.
Branches that carry consequences
A branch only matters if the story remembers it. The writer keeps track of names, secrets and what happened, so siding with the spymaster in chapter two changes who trusts you in chapter six. The first branches are made on this page: type an opening, and the AI asks up to three questions with options, each one a choice about your story. Then set the heat and the chapter length and continue after a free sign-up.
