Story Mode Extension for Inform 7

This is Inform 7 code. It cannot run independently; it must be included in a separate Inform 7 project. It can be read with any text editor.

Story Mode is an optional feature in which an Inform 7 game automatically steps through an author-provided walkthrough. At any time, players can pause the guide and play independently. At any future point, players can return to the walkthrough in progress.

This is a 'safe' mode of play in which neither the walkthrough nor the game world can be disrupted. The primary design goal of story mode is improved accessibility, though it has potential as a tutorial feature.

If you'd like to see Story Mode in action, it is built into my game Repeat the Ending.
