Step1
First of all pick a subject that you're interested in
Step2
Then pick a main character, this is the character the reader will play in the story
Step3
Next write a short intro to your story, this could be your character talking about an assignment if he is a detective or talking about a newspaper article if he is a journalist.
Step4
Remember that the 6 key subjects in any story are
Who ?-Who is in the scene?
Where ?-Where are you or where is the scene being set
How-How did you get into the position you are or How is the current mood etc?
Why ?-Why did what happened happen?
What-What happened to you?
When-Was this in the evening, morning or night?
As long as these 6 subjects are there you can make a good start!
Step5
You should now start writing about your chosen subject, but after a page the reader will have to make a choice for example this sentence is a way of starting the choices game.
Example: you come to a set of footprints on the road. Do you?
Follow the footprints if so turn to page 9
Scan your current area first if so turn to page 6
Return to your station and tell your Sergeant if so turn to page 8
Step6
If you want to make your adventure game easier you could just have two choices or if you have three or four only put one as the dead end or the death of the reader etc
Step7
Thank you for reading and have fun perfecting a cool adventure story game
