So I am making a text-based adventure game, kind of like that Fortnite game Squirrel Monkey portrayed in the video "If STEAM existed in the 1980s". In one part, you stumble upon a plane crash. There is an axe. You are given the choice to pick it up or to not pick it up. If you pick it up, a boolean variable turns into "true". If you don't pick up the axe, the same boolean variable turns into "false". This boolean determines your fate as later in the game, you have to fight a bear. If you didn't pick up the axe, you die. If you did, however, you live and kill the bear.

But I need help incorporating these features as I am new to Batch File coding and MS-DOS game making.

Here's my code so you can look at what I've gotten so far:

EDIT: Here's the tutorial video I followed:
