Is there any plans for a way to block the back button for in between chapters? I'm wanting to make a game with multiple branches while keeping the next stage of the story secret. This would allows a player to weigh all of their options before jumping ahead, but keeping the feeling of suspense by locking them into their final decision.

Also, is there any chance of enabling hardcore mode for players? I'm not talking about hardcore stories, just the ability for a player to disable the back button before they sit down to play a storygame. It would allow players who wanted to (and are prone to the temptations of the back button) to play through a storygame in a more challenging way while allowing more casual players the opportunity to go back.

thank you for reading

This feature would suck balls (I apologize for my language). I often times purposely pick a bad decision in order to read the side/death ending, and frankly, trying to find all of the endings in a story without the go back button would be both hell, boring, repetitive, and leave me with a sense of incompleteness. 

I vote this does not happen.

what about giving the player the option to choose to enter a hardcore mode? It wouldn't be up to the story writer then, it would be up to the player.

A player can already do that by choosing not to use the back button.

Yeah, this has been suggested a lot already, but it's just not worth it to most readers. Besides, you don't even need a back button to go back (you can hit your backspace key or alt arrow keys and soforth...) so it really doesn't even matter.
