a simple way to do that without coding
If you want branching, reacting to previous decisions and such, that is coding. Wether you do it with actual code or some visual buttons and diagrams or whatever.
So what you might actually seek is no code tools. For games. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=no+code+tools+for+games&ia=web
Would be interesting if someone can recommend some of those specifically for making story games. Which proably means visual novels.
