• B. Rewrite the code from scratch
• C. Add more features
• D. Focus on art assets

Answer: (A)

In testing a game's storyline, the best way to help a co-worker fix bugs is to review the storyboard and compare it to what’s actually implemented. The storyboard shows the planned sequence of scenes, dialogue, choices, and triggers, so checking that the game follows that order and that each interaction occurs at the right moment lets you pinpoint where the narrative flow breaks. This approach helps verify that transitions between scenes, branching paths, and outcomes match the prototype, which is where storyline issues often appear. To apply it, walk through each moment of the story, confirm the dialogue lines and actions align with the storyboard, and ensure the triggers fire in the intended order and conditions. If something doesn’t match, you know the bug lies in the narrative logic rather than in art or performance. Rewriting the code from scratch is unnecessary and risky, adding more features can mask the problem, and focusing on art assets doesn’t address the storyline logic.
