I want to make a text based game where you follow a story...
It would work like this:

Desicription of scene... 1 or 2 paragraphs long.
Then the user chooses 1 of 3 options on what to do next.
The 3 options all lead of on different paths.
Some times you will die for picking the wrong option or perhaps you will go back to the previous scene...

I'm pretty sure I can code this... I can just set up each scene as a separate page and each option is a link to another page...

The problem is, I need a story which has differnt endings and stuff...
I want an action story, and I came up with this:
You are sitting behind a dumpster. You check your Glock 17 to find you only have 4 shots left. Damn. There are at least 5 guys out there and they are advancing. Bullets clang off the dupster and spray the floor to either side of you. It sounds like they have Heckler & Koch MP5's which means you don't stand a chance in a full-blown shoot-out with them. They are getting closer, what do you do?
a) Wait for backup.
b) Just run for it.
c) Peek your head around the side of the dumpster.

If you do:
a) you Die because the backup doesnt get there in time.
b) You get shot in the shoulder and in your body armour but you manage to get to safety.
c) You see two guys, they are standing near a fire hydron. They are not looking and the only other person you can se is loading a grenade into his MP5.
Do you:
a) Shoot the fire hydron.
b) Take cover again.
c) Look around further.

If you chose:
a) Boom. Two guys down... carry on....
b) Go back to previous scene.
c) Dead, get shot at by both guys near the fire hydron. You are hit in the throast and die instantly.

So... I hope you get the idea.
What I would like you to do now is to carry on with the different parts of the story. Try to make it clear which scenes are which, etc.

Thanks in advance,
CBG :)
