That’s the sweet spot, right? Let the player’s choices ripple through the world, but keep a spine—maybe a central theme or an emotional beat that threads through every branch. Think of a core character arc that adapts, not a fixed story path. That way each remix feels fresh yet grounded, like remixing a track but still hearing the main riff. Keep it modular, keep the narrative alive, and the players will feel like they’re really co‑creating the story.
