Encourage Exploration

• Reward readers for revisiting branches with unique content, hidden items, or alternate endings.
• Example: A secret achievement unlocked only by exploring a specific sequence of choices.

Vary Consequences

• Ensure that different choices lead to distinct and meaningful outcomes, even if they eventually converge.
• Example: Choosing to help a stranger could lead to an ally in one branch and a future threat in another.
