I was into a choose your own adventure books when I was a kid, there was one in particular that you are told in the beginning that there is a perfect ending but you can’t get there by choice. There was no path in the book that got you to that page. You had to just decide to not follow the rules and turn to that page.
I think I remember that one, unless it’s a reoccurring element in choose your own adventures. It was about ice cream and parallel universes or time travel or something right?
Yep, that’s the one. Remember I picked it up in the library years ago because of the cover saying any path is correct. I remember If you open to the page not connected to anything it shows the main character riding a colossal squid with no context.

Had aliens in it. They were abducting sentients from all over to try to see if anyone knew how to get to space-paradise.
You need a starship to penetrate the barrier at the centre of the galaxy.
It’s not the book that OOP was thinking of, but you’re probably thinking of Meanwhile by Jason Shiga.

Such a clever use of the medium. I love this sort of brilliance.
