WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
And RenPy is basically an engine in itself, for making visual-novel style games, and has an excellent scripting language for laying out branching dialogs and logic.
Otherwise, Inkle is also quite good. (and people have made players for it in Unreal and Unity, so it's not hard to attach to existing game projects.) I don't think it has the nifty visual flowchart though, if that's a piece you care about.
Personally, I'd suggest twine. It's free, super-easy to get started in, and has a nice visual flowchart editor for the story structure. It also supports as much branching and conditional logic as you want to throw at it, exports to HTML files, and you don't even have to install it - you can just go right over to Twinery.org and start playing around with the editor in your web browser.
If you are using Unreal, I'd go with https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/not-yet-dialogue-system it's very powerful yet simple. For Godot, I'd use https://github.com/nathanhoad/godot_dialogue_manager
