DecPad

DecPad is a lightweight visual tool for indie game developers who want to design narrative flow and branching dialogue without friction. It helps you map your story structure quickly and clearly, so you can focus on building your game.

Unlike some other complex tools, it keeps things simple.

Each scene or dialogue step is represented as a node. Nodes connect visually to map choices and story branches.
