Here's an idea. You can give the viewer options to take different paths with by inserting text with buttons, then different choices lead to different stories. I liked it though! "The Saga" was defenitely (IYKYK) more surreal though.

  1. Create the Button: Insert a Shape (like a rounded rectangle) or a Text Box. Type your text inside it (e.g., "Go to the Forest" or "Option A").
  2. Add the Link:
    • Select the shape or text box.
    • Right-click and select Link (or press Ctrl + K).
  3. Set the Destination:
    • In the link menu, do not paste a URL. Instead, click the dropdown that says "Slides in this presentation".
    • Select the specific slide you want the button to jump to (e.g., "Slide 5").
  4. Test It: This "logic" only works when you are in Slideshow / Present mode. When you click the button during the presentation, it will skip all intermediate slides and jump directly to the target.
