What Is Chat Mapper?

Chat Mapper is a new, easy to use tool for writing and testing nonlinear dialogue, especially for video games and training. Built from the frustration of trying to use Final Draft, Word, or even Excel to write complex branching dialogue, Chat Mapper was built from the ground up with usability in mind.
