Options

Options are a major mechanic in all CYOA's, including Dorws'. Within the Dorws CYOA, there are by default four options in the overworld, six options in battle with numbered sub-options, and numbered options with the characters represented by letters in the inventory. The four options by default are A, B, C, and D.

The options in the overworld often represent Dorws', or any protagonist's, thoughts, usually the A option being the first thought and the D option being the last, or simulate elements of a video game such as selecting a menu or working as buttons in a battle.

Options are what move the story along, with any user viewing the CYOA to vote what they believe would be the most practical, or what they believe would be the most funny and pointless.

In the original CYOA, Dagyvin showed meta knowledge by possessing the D option and later removing the effect from it. Similar instances include the CYOA Reboot's F option, which behaved serious and bland like the original D option in the open and more fun and commentative while in the fog pillar, and the E option being reserved for the summoning of E: Despacito Spider.
