Visual Decision-Tree Software?

Is there anything you guys have run across that allows you to put bits and pieces of your script in such a way that you can easily see branching decisions and where they lead / meet-up?

I'm hoping for a free bit of software, but if you're using something that's paid, I'm not entirely opposed. It would just be nice to have a visual representation of things as I'm building the script because when I'm spending a couple hours straight in writing tags and inserting text I have a tendency to lose my place and forget to place flags / variables, etc.

If you don't use something like this, how do you manage to keep track of all the decisions and flags in your VN?

Twine is a good (and free) option. I've used it, and I know some other VN makers use it too.

Also, this might just be the way my brain works, but sometimes I find that even just pencil and paper can be a good option? Using software like Twine has advantages, but sometimes I like the flexibility of just having a blank page to write on.

You could also try Yarn, which is what I've been using. Also free.
