You do have 2 stats - coruption and confidence - which you can see when you mouse over an area on the map screen (you will also see a rough description of the area from the princess\' point of view). The paths you choose will affect one or both stats, depending on what happens. Generally, you will have 3 choices, one leads to sex, one leads to victory, and one leads to a more nuetral outcome. No game overs planned at this time. Just a matter of which ending you get when you get to the temple. After you reach -any- of the endings, you can start a new game with the option of skipping dialogue entirely and having spoilers for which choice will have which outcome.
Corruption and confidence will mainly determine which ending (of 4 planned) you get. But they will also affect your options in later map areas. What options you have in later areas will depend on what your corruption and confidence stats are at the time. I might put some kind of time constraint on it too, having travel and various events cost days and after so many days it changes which endings are available (maybe, if I feel like messing with another layer of complexity)
