Several things you may add to improve the narrative:
- Even simple text-based games may require you to be expressive in some ways, in this case you only change color, but I recommend adding text effects, some images indicating which item you are holding, a map to show the next area you can come to.
- The font is too generic, you may use multiple fonts to ease the boredom of reading long text.
- Other than that, the story was fun, with lots of choices (still too little impact, I think you should implement more diverse outcome).
