I'm not a very experienced developer, but i had an idea for text based, story driven game where you rediscover your past in an old

PC, and with this COVID-19 thing literally everywhere in the world, i have a lot of time to myself to finish it in time. Any recommendations to make this game play out well?

Here's a suggestion.  Try this game.  A Mind Forever Voyaging.  https://www.myabandonware.com/game/a-mind-forever-voyaging-59/play-59

Here's another.  Amnesia.  https://www.old-games.com/download/1200/amnesia
