Hello everyone, I'm working right now on a SM and it had ocurred to me while questioning a witness (townspeople) to create multiple paths that can help you go further in the story to one way or another. For that I made a question that opens other two questions and you have to choose one or the other, but when I make my decission I don't seem to find the option to block the other question. So I wanted to know if this can be possible

Hope I could express myself correctly

I understand what you are saying Ani but the character on which I'm trying to place this multiple path thing is a townspeople (witness) and not a suspect, so I can't make twists on them I think. Perhaps I should place it on a suspect

What you could do is to create a 'suspect' who is someone that works in the business with the townie. So, instead of Ruby the Teller at the bank in NY, it could be Stephen the Bank Manager (or Jacob the Janitor). Perhaps the player would have to go to Ruby to find out that Stephen (or Jacob or whomever) exists, thus unlocking that person.

Yeah that could work perfectly. I've also used the twists as you said so I made a bit of progress in this matter.

Thanks a lot for your help Ani
