This question is asked often, here's a recent related topic for example, and another topic from a while ago.

But first, what kind of game do you want to make? They require different skills and tools, so it matters if you're thinking CYOA versus visual novels, shmups versus roguelikes, and so on. Speaking of which, do you feel up to learning how to code?

I wanted to make a small pixel RPG with visual novel elements!

I'm up to learning anything!

For that kind of game people usually go with RPG Maker, but that's Windows-only and expensive. Ren'Py is free and open source and can also work, but it would be better for a VN with RPG elements. Worth a try anyway.
