I have also been making Interactive text-based adventures. I am using Twine!! which is really amazing. But I am also trying to figure out Renpie.

Ren'Py is more for visual novels. If you're just doing regular text-based stories, I'd recommend sticking with Twine. You can do normal text-only stories in Ren'py, especially with NVL-Mode, but Twine is lighter and can be simpler to learn for people starting out with the programming side of things.
