> What’s an IF game? Very difficult to search that; Google prioritizes matches containing the English word ‘if’.

Replace "IF" with "text adventure" and you'll get better results. Their heyday was pre-Windows and the classic names to look for are Infocom (US), Scott Adams (US), and Level 9 (UK).

Edit: To add, just download Inform and try it, alongside https://ganelson.github.io/inform-website/book/WI_1_1.html which takes you step by step through stuff.
