Cinematics and endings

Cinematics are blocking fullscreen slideshows. Author them in Studio → Cinematics (slides, timing, optional text).

Play one

<cinematic-hotel-ending>

The slug is the cinematic uniqueId. Play pauses the chat until the slideshow finishes.

Force end the story

<cinematic-bad-ending>
<endstory>

<endstory> marks the whole story complete immediately. It does not walk the remaining chapter list. Use this for branch endings where later chapters should not run.

If you just -> END the current chapter Ink without <endstory>, Sexter will try to advance to the next chapter in order (if one exists).

Custom transition card

Not a cinematic, but same neighborhood:

~ ShowCustomTransition("Two weeks later", "Summer break")

Title card, then chat continues.

Practical pattern

{
    - GetStoryFlag("love_route"):
        <cinematic-love-ending>
        <endstory>
    - else:
        <cinematic-alone-ending>
        <endstory>
}
