Damn I can't type the full thing it's supposed to be:
Choose Your Own Adventure (?) Book I Have Very Vague Memories Of
So, I have some fond memories of reading Choose Your Own Adventure books that relatives gave me from when they were young, and the ones that I remember reading the most and had the most impact on me were probably Space And Beyond and The Abominable Snowman, though I probably read all the ones on suggestedreads.com/best-choose-your-own-adventure-books/ this list at least a few times. However, I’m not talking about any of them.
This one I had pop in my head a couple of months ago while working at a gift shop, pretty much the only things I remember where that there were 3 boxes, one from “the past”, one from “the future”, and another from “a world that never was” and maybe the never one had a Griffin or Dragon in it, but I’m not exactly sure, in fact, I’m not completely sure it was a Choose Your Own Adventure book, I’m only considering it because I’m sure it wasn’t Give Yourself Goosebumps, in fact, part of me feels like it might have not even been a gamebook or that I made it up in my head, but I just need someone to tell me I didn’t.
Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving... you will come to a better place.
Obeying authoritarian regimes makes you complicit in them.
It sounds weirdly familiar, I only read a couple of the books as a kid. My guess is it might be the Haunted House one. I vaguely remember if you chose the "a world the never was" it took you too some weird fantasy world. Tho I am not 100% sure but maybe I would recommend rereading that one.
I think the first choose your own adventure book was about time travel and you could choose between the past and the future. I think in the future they wear khakis and an oddly specific color sneakers.

That sounds like something from Inside UFO 54-40. And that was the twelfth book in that series.
I'm not sure I'm right.
But Inside UFO 54-40 was the weirdest of couple dozen Choose Your Own Adventure books I read. And that's where I would start. There were three different CYA books about time travel, including the first book in the series: The Cave of Time, The Forbidden Castle and Return To the Cave of Time.
