This Tool generates a Flowchart-Visualization of the possible choices in one of Netflix's Interactive Films. These include for example "Black Mirror's Bandersnatch", "Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale" and "Minecraft Story Mode".
Their interactivity is powered by the so called Branch-Manager.
That’s why Netflix engineers built the company’s very own script-writing tool for branched narratives, dubbed Branch Manager.

Copy-paste the contents of script.js
into the Dev-Console once you have started an Interactive Film and are past the introductory tutorial.
Additionally, the script also exposes a shorthand called pS
to allow skipping to a specific segment (i.e. a specific scene): pS('0cr3')
