The basic logic you have there is sound, but I can spot a few problems that are likely to trip you up.

The most basic is, Decker doesn’t have true and false constants - those are just variable names and are nil by default, so if true alert["hello"] end will never show an alert, unless you happen to have defined true:1 somewhere else. Where you would write true and false, just change them to 1 and 0 respectively.

The next problem you’re likely to hit is that the value of the adult_ok variable is not preserved between events. If you want to store that value somewhere, you need to store it in something - in this case, probably a button with the “Checkbox” appearance on a card somewhere. If you don’t already have a card to store the state of the game, you can make a new one called, say “gamestate”, put a button named adult_ok on it, give it the “Checkbox” appearance, and then in your code you can do:

gamestate.widgets.adult_ok.value:alert["Are you OK with seeing adult content?" "bool" "Yes"]

…to ask the user and store the resurt in gamestate.widgets.adult_ok.value. Then you can later check it:

if gamestate.widgets.adult_ok.value
 go["adultcontent"]
else
 go["nextmorning"]
end

Of course, that’s assuming you actually want to store the answer and adjust the game accordingly. If you just want to make a disclaimer and only proceed to the actual game if the player clicks “yes”, then you don’t actually need to store that anywhere: if the player winds up anywhere but the first two cards, you can assume they must have clicked “yes” at some point in the past. Then you can just write:

if alert["Are you OK with seeing adult content?" "bool" "Yes"]
 go["thesagabegins"]
else
 go["titlescreen"]
end

…and never worry about it again.
