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.

Story Mode is also available for download at the "Friends of Inform" GitHub repository.
