Behind the scenes[]

This book contains twenty distinct narrative paths, leading to twenty different endings. The longest path is twenty-one pages, but it ends with Indy falling to his implied death. The page sequence for this path is:

1 → 2 → 3 → 19 → 58 → 103 → 60 → 61 → 63 → 87 → 67 → 108 → 69 → 84 → 85 → 99 → 118 → 100 → 101 → 17 → 119

The longest path in which Indy survives is twenty pages, but even then, it ends with a Nazi spy recovering the Eye of the Fates, intent on using it as a German super-weapon. The page sequence for this path is:

1 → 2 → 3 → 19 → 58 → 103 → 60 → 61 → 63 → 87 → 67 → 108 → 69 → 84 → 85 → 99 → 118 → 100 → 101 → 122

The longest path with a somewhat favorable ending is only seventeen pages. It finishes with Indy being rescued by the protagonist's father, after the Eye is destroyed in a fire:
