How do I create a text based game?

Any advice on how to go about making a text based game. I'm very interested in trying to create one, but i'm currently unsure how to even start.

I'm curious what brings you to c2 for a text based game. I'd say text is not its greatest strength, but I will stand corrected. What kind of text game are you doing?

First of all: what do you mean by "text based game"? Do you want to make some kind of "choose your adventure" game? Or one of those "type what you want to do" games?

If it's the former, then I think construct (while not the best option) can be suitable to your needs. If it's the latter, then you might do better with a more code-oriented framework.
