Pitch Presentation
This is the current progress we've made with the presentation...
I had another idea where at the end of every route there's a puzzle piece and if you complete all routes you can finish the puzzle and maybe unlock a final bonus cutscene or find an Easter egg. I feel like that will work well with the mystery theming of the game and might give players the incentive to complete all the routes.
Every route end has a part of a youtube URL, if you collect all of them and arrange them in the correct order it takes you to an unlisted video containing a secret route or ending.
Many ARGs have interactive puzzles with hints hidden over the internet, codes, etc
we could make use of these in the game too. Gravity Falls had a similar mystery element that allowed fans to solve mysteries and codes as the series was airing, with more clues each week. this might be something to consider if we get the routes finished early and want to add more interactive elements to the story.

Ending vs Route
Routes branch off much earlier than endings, usually more than once, usually has sub branches.
often one decision will decide an ending soon before it happens
Potential branching format template, Multiple routes that each have multiple endings?
