New on CTAN: Gamebooklib
This package provides macros and environments to allow the user to typeset a series of cross-referenced, numbered “entries”, shuffled into random order. This allows entries to be written in natural order and shuffled automatically into a repeatable order. Limited support is provided for footnotes to appear at the end of each entry, or the end of each page, whichever is closest to the footnote mark.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/gamebooklib The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/gamebooklib/

Gamebooklib – Macros for setting numbered entries in shuffled order
This package provides macros and environments to allow the user to typeset a series of cross-referenced, numbered “entries”, shuffled into random order, to produce an interactive novel or “gamebook”.
This allows entries to be written in natural order and shuffled automatically into a repeatable non-linear order.
Limited support is provided for footnotes to appear at the natural position: the end of each entry, or the end of each page, whichever is closest to the footnote mark.
This is unrelated to the gamebook package which is more concerned with the formatting of entries rather than their order. The two packages can be used together or separately.
