Separating out choices for multiple characters

Hi all, sorry I'm only just dipping my toe into the world of all this coding stuff, but before I sink hours into figuring out how to operate this system I was hoping someone could tell me if it's even possible to do what I'm attempting.

Basically what I want is a story where the player picks one of four characters at the start, and from then on they can only see the choices available to their character, but I want to have all the characters' stories within the same narrative, (so it splits out and then comes back to shared events and experiences over and over.)

I was imagining that this would work like, say Player A chooses Bob and Player B chooses Gary, if I write a scene where Gary and Bob walk into a room, Player A will see Bob's options to say - open a chest, and Player B will see Gary's options - say to talk to an NPC, but neither will see both.

Does that make sense? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I tried doing this in inklewriter and I had to keep making the player re-choose what character they were before I could give them separate choices (see below image) and it was really clunky.

Thanks heaps in advance!
