Work out how many players will really see each ending

Counting routes says one ending is common, but players do not pick routes, they pick choices, and a deep ending can be extremely rare. Here is the calculation your AI uses to put an honest percentage on every ending before you build the art for it.

Why this works

Players make choices, not routes, so what counts is how likely each single choice is. Passing the crowd's share forward step by step, adding what arrives by different roads, gives an honest picture. Counting routes treats a rare detour as equal to the common road.

When not to use it

Skip it when you have no idea how players will choose, because made-up shares only look like facts. Guess openly, then replace them with measured shares once people play. Also unfit for stories where players return and loop many times.
