The problem you are having is because you have not nested the if statements, so the execution sequence is not correct. Let's see how to do it:
print ("you awaken in a dark room") print ("you look to your left, a sword is placed next to your side") print ("do you pick up the sword?") choice = input("> ").lower() if choice == "yes": print ("You pick up the sword") print ("With sword in hand you walk down the tunnel, you are confronted with the choice of turning left or right") choice = input("> ").lower() if choice == "left": print ("you turn left and face a goblin") print ("Do you attack?") choice = input("> ").lower() if choice == "yes": print ("You attack the goblin and the goblin dies by your blade ") elif choice == "no": print ("the goblin strikes your torso, causing a large gash. This weakens you") elif choice == 'right': choice = input('> ').lower() print ("you reach a cavern with a shield, do you pick it up?") if choice == 'yes': print ("you pick up the shield, its weight comfortable on your arm and you prepare yourself for the journey ahead") elif choice == 'No': print ('you ignore the shield and carry on your voyage')Think of it like climbing a tree: when you move along a branch, you can only access its sub-branches.
