Make the rewind key give back items gained or spent in a story scene

Story games let readers step back through earlier lines. If they step back past a line that handed over a key or took coins, the bag must go back too, exactly, and stop where the story says there is no way back. This entry records the changes in a way that can be reversed.

Why this works

Remembering what each line changed is lighter and safer than copying the whole bag every time, and undoing a change cleanly works only for differences, never for totals. Final moments are marked so stepping back cannot turn a purchase into free money.

When not to use it

Skip it when the game is meant to be unforgiving, with no way back after a choice. Also skip it when a scene changes many things at once and the player needs a clear save point rather than a long chain of undo steps.
