/lit/ - Literature

Text adventures, choose your own adventure stories, interactive fiction, and visual novels are all borderline. They have features of literature, but are obviously distinct or blurring into other media.

It is interesting that you mention riddles, because books and scholarship on this topic suggest that text adventures are basically descended from riddles. They function in a way that resembles how riddles work. So if you have some good riddles, that's a very solid foundation for attempting this. But it is surprisingly unintuitive and difficult to achieve creative success in this kind of medium though. It's not popular, and not really commercially viable outside of a few niches. So you end up face to face either with a collection of tropes you need to stick to... or the values of an insular community of people who are fighting to be king of this little hill.

If I were you, I would seriously consider going one step further and just making an indie RPG game.

CYOA books definitely are.
