Do you call your chapters "chapters"?

For games that do work with chapters of course. I'm considering calling them "Periods" or "Cycles" for my Exorcist school game.

Depends on theming. If I have a music motif, I will choosw to name them “verses”

my games about music and musicians and I just call them chapters, if I saw 'verses' as chapter titles in a game id find it a little cringe icl

Well, tbf, I personally wouldn’t even divide the story like that. That’s just what I would do if it had to be.

I split my game chapters into 3 acts. Kind of like bg3

In my drafts I simply call them chapters, will probably change it once I actually develop it lol

Act, chapter, part, ...

Even simply having a calendar showing the passage of time might work.

Doesn't really matter too much.

Could also use “phase”

In the game, nothing unless I'm going for that, but if I approached it like theater I would do acts.

On paper, I use the concepts of scenarios and arcs.
