I highly recommend Ink if you ever get the itch to write any kind of interactive story, even if you plan on implementing the story in something else later. once you get the basics of Ink down it's really easy to get the ideas flowing. for example, my friend and I were working on making a narrative-focused video game awhile back, and I used Ink to rapidly prototype out the opening scene. for the end product (that never ended up materializing… at least, so far), the gameplay would be completely different, and probably not use Ink at all. but it felt great to bang out the opening scene I had in my mind, to set the mood, get in the groove of writing, and start thinking about how the writing and interactivity could intersect. to demonstrate how useful and easy to use this is, here's the aforementioned prototypical opening scene, in generated HTML form: https://rezich.com/crimpyr https://rezich.com/crimpyr (it's "over" when all you have left to interact with is "[TODO]" scenes) and here's the source: https://rezich.com/crimpyr/source.ink.txt https://rezich.com/crimpyr/source.ink.txt (note that I am not, by any means, a professional writer!!)
