Is it possible to make "twinelike" games with AC? Twine is a software used for making text based adventure games which are usually a good chunk of text with "links" that serve as hotspots of sorts that help run actions in the game like switching scenes and so on.

The blue text are the links that basically do what hotspots do in adventure creator but in text form. I want to do something like that but not sure if the text based format can be done with AC. I thought about using menus with "unity ui in scene" for the links, making them buttons but quickly realized that that would quickly get out of hand because i would have to make a lot of menus for every scene so is there a better way to go about this?

Not without scripting - AC isn't intended for IF games. I'd recommend looking into an asset specifically designed for such game types in Unity.
If you did want to tackle it through custom means, you wouldn't rely on a separate Menu/UI for each scene. Instead, you'd have a single Canvas that populates its own content with Text / Buttons dynamically based on a custom markup.

It's not an official integration, but if there's an issue between it and the latest AC release, by all means share details and I'll see if I can advise on what's wrong.
