Ren'py I've heard is a pretty good starting point for a VN?
And RPG Maker is a good, ol' reliable option for a game-- just look at OMORI!

Honestly for visual novels Ren'Py is incredibly simple to start with:

Another alternative if you want a bit more numbers involved is ChoiceScript for something vaguely between an RPG w/ arbitrary stats and fixed images as scenes:

And for visual novels audio is a LOT less important than other types of games.

Really you can add audio later once the game is really fleshed out, don't be afraid thinking you have to take on all the hats at once. :D

I would love to work as a programmer on this game! I'm not the best, but I can do pretty much anything that isn't super advanced or optimised. Only problem is that I still live with my parents... 😑 That could be a bit awkward if they found out I was working on a big tiddy Dino game.

There are engines like rpg maker for visual novels, those can be learned solo
