'Sup fags? I'm someone who's trying to be making my first ever game. A short explanation of the game, I and my co-developer, were going to make it into a text-based game, with various stats, locations, quests, endings, actions, etc.

To make a long story short, we need help determining what code would be good to use in this? We wanted to make it an .exe obviously, but we're total coding noobs. Any advice?

Technically you can use pretty much every language and write your own engine. Or you use an establish engine like Inform 7 (http://inform7.com/)

text game as in dwarf fortress, or text game as in depression quest?

If the latter, you may want to do it with HTML5. It's safer than .exe, it works on all platforms that have an internet browser, it requires minimal experience to get going, and it requires no real pre-programming setup except the creation of a blank html page.

Virtually anything you are good at/want to learn. Text-based games are trivial when it comes to implementation.
