Story Graph
Story Graph gives you a bird's-eye view of your entire visual novel as a flow chart.
What it is
Use Story Graph to see how scenes connect through jumps, calls, and menu branches. It is the fastest way to understand the shape of your story without reading every scene one by one.
INFO
Think of Story Graph as your map view. It helps you see the big picture before you zoom in on individual scenes.
What you can see
- All labels shown as nodes in the flow chart
- Jump and call connections shown as arrows between scenes
- Branch points created by player choices in menus
- Unreachable or dead-end scenes highlighted for review
- Major routes from your opening scenes to later chapters or endings
How to use
- Open Design mode in the workspace.
- Choose Story Graph to load the visual overview.
- Click any node to jump directly to that scene.
- Use zoom controls or your trackpad to explore large projects.
- Pan across the canvas to follow routes from one branch to another.
- Review highlighted scenes to spot missing links or broken story paths.
Why it helps
- Find orphan scenes that are never reached
- Catch missing connections before players do
- Plan where new branches should split or merge
- Review the overall pace of your narrative at a glance
When to use it
- When you want to understand the full structure of a project
- Before rewriting a chapter with multiple branching outcomes
- After adding new choices or route-specific scenes
- During QA to look for plot holes or disconnected content
Tips
- Run Validation first so issues are easier to spot in the graph.
- Use Branch View alongside Story Graph for a more detailed path-by-path analysis.
- Start zoomed out, then drill into the areas that need attention.
TIP
For large stories, trace the main route first and then review optional branches one chapter at a time.
