What's generally considered to be the best for game devving when it comes to Text Adventures, whether it be the traditional Infocom fare, or CoC or Cursed's style of 'Button-Clicking Adventure'?
I pretty much plan on making a lewd sideproject while I continue getting tangled in Godot.

The best what? Language? IDE? Platform?

If you want the lowest effort, use Twine. But it´s only if you want to make a CYOA style adventure. If you are more for a Infocom style, use Inform7.

Checking the winners of the Interactive Fiction Competition really throws a lot of adventures made in Inform7. I am making a little time to learn TADS3 and shoot the chit creatively with some pals, might jump on I7 down the line if only just to compare them.
Sage because no actual info or experience.

Don't use pansy tools like Twine and Inform. Do it like a real man; use a graphics framework and roll your own text parser, GUI, scene management, state switcher, save/load system, and any other features you want. My lewd text adventure has weather patterns, shader effects, and a real-time combat system.
I haven't written a single word of the story yet.

I'm going to have to agree with this guy.
I made a barebones CYOA parser and it was rather easy. Use pygame and you'll have an easy time putting together graphics.
You could always just use unity2d and handwave all the GUI, too.

>Write your text game in something that can only run on the architectures you explicitly support
Please don't. If a game could be written in some ancient runtime that is available for every platform under the sun, it should be. Period.

And that runtime is called Microsoft BASIC (of which GW-BASIC is a superset).

If that's not portable enough for you, there's always Tiny BASIC.

And yes, you can write adventures in that. Here's one:

Batch files and shell scripts if you don't care about portability between OSes.
