Flags and conditional logic

Use flags and conditions to remember reader decisions.

Last reviewed 14 August 2026

Summary

Use flags and conditions to remember reader decisions.

Steps

  1. Define a flag or condition in the story logic model.
  2. Update the flag from a choice or scene event.
  3. Show or route later content based on that condition.

What to expect

  • Conditional logic should be understandable enough to debug in Map/Playtest.
  • Readers should not see impossible or dead-end choices.

Troubleshooting

  • If a branch stays hidden, verify the exact flag name and value.
  • If logic becomes hard to reason about, simplify and retest one branch at a time.
