If you're just starting out, try sticking to more of a "Choose Your Own Adventure" format.
You know the ones!
"You reach a fork in the road, you can go left or right."
Left - "A giant bear eats your head, you died!"
Right - "You find a treasure chest, it's full of gold!"
They're easy to keep track of thanks to being fairly linear and you don't need to worry about variables or If statements.
My earliest works were more like this, so I know it's a good way to get started
