Looks awesome!
Original art on the characters and monsters?

I drews thems. 8D

I think I'll try working backwards. That might be easiest for me as well, and planning out key elements in between with the blueprint/branched outline. Thanks so much for the input guys! This really helps. I was having a lot of trouble choosing how to plan it out.

When my 5 year old shows me this messy scribble and I have to ask what everything is, that doesn't make it any less an important and representative picture because I failed to understand it.

I remember drawing something on my bedroom wall when I was like 5 or 6 and back then it looked like a beautiful unicorn Pegasus with a princess riding on it's back. After I got older and took a look at it, it looked like a diseased hippo with wings and a melting gingerbread man on his back. The things you'll be looking at aren't noticeable differences that come from age or experience (like my sad hippo), but things related to subconscious thoughts.

I think it'll be a lot harder to judge what is random and what has meaning. My favorite painting from Salvador Dali is a fish puking up tigers that are jumping out of pomegranate where there's an elephant on stilts in the background and a nude woman almost laying on the ground with a type of gun poking into her arm: titled Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate. What is that even supposed to mean? I'm not sure, to me it looks random, but I love it. There's no denying that he is still awesome, but still to me it looks random.

I've wanted to do a story sim for a while now, but I just can't get up the guts to go ahead and do it. What are the first steps? What if you want multiple endings, how would you set the story up? How would you plan it and it's variations?

Just asking for resources, tips and tricks for the story and character development in this genre. I'm good on art. I haven't found anything too useful when doing a search by myself... OTL Not sure if I'm looking up the right keywords or what. I'm so lost.
