Hi! There is a list of interactive fiction software on the main jam page. The most common software used to make text-based games is probably twine, while ink and Choicescript are also commonly used. If you want to make parser (typing-based) games, Inform 7 is the most popular; there’s also Adventuron and many others.
For examples of single-choice text-based games, see some of games from the last iteration of Single Choice Jam.
