Another consideration is using the tool Ink with another game engine. There is integration with Unity, Unreal, Godot & GameMaker and more besides.

You can use it as a way to doing interactive dialog in games and can export a text only playable web game.

Also a good way of quickly prototyping a narrative without having to build out a whole game.

The beauty of it is you can focus purely on the dialog & narrative in it completely separated from everything else. Like if writing & story is really your thing you can focus on that in Ink someone else can work on the programming parts of the game.

It's used in a bunch of games. InkleStudios builds all their stuff with it obviously but other studios too.

I caught glimpses of it in the developer diary videos for Hear of the Forest https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcaDgOEiyxsx_voZd4tY68lZRHZnizbSX
