1: This forum is for discussing games made using Twine
2: When you build up the response buttons you're not telling it which answer to display the text for. you have the line
answers += "<p><button onclick='setLocation("+db[currentLocation].answers.response+")'>"+db[currentLocation].answers.title+"</button></p>";when it should be
answers += "<p><button onclick='setLocation("+db[currentLocation].answers[i].response+")'>"+db[currentLocation].answers[i].title+"</button></p>";3: From the looks of it, you could quite easily make your game in Twine and it'd have a lot less boilerplate code.
But again, you're more likely to get helpful answers on a site that's dedicated to javascript problems.
