  • inform7-ide

    A design system for interactive fiction based on natural language.

  • There are a few "interactive fiction" engines around. I haven't tried any recently, but inform might be worth a look. choiceofgames might not support all your media-requirement but it's easy to use.

  • twinejs

    Twine, a tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories

  • I saw people making a lot of these games with Twine a few years ago, not sure if another engine has taken over that market since then though.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
