Including basic choices in your game is honestly not very difficult at all, and as you gain experience with practice you will learn how to code conditions and the like to make things even more interesting and relevant for your readers.

If just glancing through help pages on all the coding stuff is what’s putting you off (it can all seem a little daunting at first) you could perhaps consider trying some software designed to help.

Chronicler is a visual editor for ChoiceScript, using “bubbles” which you connect to create a flowchart of your game, from which it then generates the ChoiceScript code for you.

CSIDE (website) is due to be released this coming Thursday, as recently announced in this forum topic. This adopts a more “hands on” approach, intended to help you learn actual ChoiceScript coding for yourself. It comes with a detailed, step-by-step Interactive Tutorial, Learning Basic ChoiceScript, especially aimed at total newcomers.

Considering the amount of time you will invest in your game in future, I would suggest it’s probably well worth while trying both applications and see which works best for you.
