Return

A return is a special form of redirect that does not link to a predetermined scene. Instead it links to the scene from which the reader was last linked to a different scene. It specifically links the reader to after this last link, see the example below. Returns are useful for creating character sheets, inventories and the likes.



The way this behaves might be different from what you want. If you want to go back to where you selected the choice you need to do a bit more work. First you need to have a single scene with just the single text direction before the choices. In the scenes that will return back to these choices add the return direction at the end. Make sure that these choices are just a single scene or it won't return to the correct place! After returning you would not have any story left in the previous scene, so the story would just end. Now we want to go back to the start of the scene instead, so we solve this by placing a redirect at the bottom of this scene linking to itself. You can download video examples of this from the official Discord server: One showing the scenes and one showing the effect when reading.

If you were able to follow what to do, then you should be able to reuse a single scene for a lot of choices. This can be useful if you want to create a stats screen for different characteristics or abilities in your story. It can also be used to allow readers to choose multiple choices before continuing with the story. However, if this second is your goal, then it is probably better to just use a redirect instead.
