Beta testing involves sharing your story with a group of readers for feedback. This step is invaluable for gaining diverse perspectives.

Beta Reader Selection:

• Choose readers from your target audience to ensure feedback reflects your intended readership.
• Include a mix of experienced and casual interactive fiction readers to identify different issues.

Feedback Questions:

1. Engagement:
   • Which parts of the story were most engaging or immersive?
   • Were there any sections where interest lagged?
2. Choices:
   • Were choices clear and meaningful?
   • Did outcomes feel logical and satisfying?
3. Navigation:
   • Were transitions between nodes smooth and intuitive?
   • Did the branching structure make sense?
4. Technical Issues:
   • Were there any broken links, errors, or missing elements?
