Well hello there, and welcome to adventure!
I’ve made nine text adventures. What I produce – the thing I actually make – is called a “story file.” The story file can be run on many different operating systems and platforms — Windows PCs, Macs, Linux, DOS, and so forth. This is awesome, because I need only write one file and it will instantly work cross-platform.
To play the games I made in Hugo, you need an interpreter program. I recommend Hugor for Windows, Linux or Mac – Intel or PowerPC.
