How choices work

Summary

In an interactive story, each available choice sends the narrative along a route selected by the creator.

Steps

1. Read the passage through to its decision point so you have the context for the available options.
2. Review each choice label and any nearby content note; select the option that matches the direction you want to explore.
3. Wait for the next passage or chapter to load before choosing again; the selected route can affect what appears later.
4. Use the Reader’s available navigation controls if you need to return to the story page or restart a route.

What to expect

• Some stories are linear and have no choices; branching stories may present different scenes depending on earlier decisions.
• A choice changes the story route, not the public story itself, and it does not post a rating, review, or public activity update.
• Creators can test routes before review, but if a published choice is broken, report the story with the passage and choice description.

Troubleshooting

• If a choice appears disabled or does not advance, reload the story once and check whether a required access condition is shown.
• If the destination is missing or clearly unrelated, use Safety & Reporting or reading support and identify the chapter and choice label.
• Do not share private account information or another reader’s route details when reporting a story issue.
