It sounds like your game is essentially a "choose your own" adventure game. I would play through several games of that type (choiceofgames.com has a goodly supply of these) and analyze several of them. The issue with this type of writing is that it isn't just one story in a linear direction, you have to have the story for a number of different branches and what ifs. Again, the gamedesign stack may have words of wisdom on this. I think you'll find you have to have a very good organization to what you are doing in order to map out the different pathways that your reader/player can take.
