It seems you’re missing the file there.

you need to put all your files inside the `startup.txt` on `*scene_list`

startup.txt :

```choicescript
*scene_list
  startup
  chap1
  chap2
  chap3

Here you seem to be starting your story.....

*finish

```

`chap1` `chap2` `chap3` are the files `chap1.txt` `chap2.txt` `chap3.txt` you need to create.

chap1.txt:

```choicescript
Here you continue your story.

```

The `startup.txt` will be the first file that the program reads when you play the game. From there on, every `*finish` will jump to the next scene listed below the `*scene_list`.  
If you don’t want to jump to the next scene you can `*goto_scene` and pick the scene you want to go to.

I recommend you take a look at this:
