Thread: Want to make an 'interactive story'

I've always loved games, and I remember when I was young the only form of 'games' we had were choose your own adventure games.

I'd like to make one, but not in book form. I'm just wondering what the best way would be to make one that runs on a computer... and I'm sure it's super basic 'programming' if any at all, but I have little experience with computer so does anyone know how I could go about doing this?

edit: I know I can make one just using folders and stuff, but I'd like one that's an executable file... that you click to run and has button and stuff.
