Custom blueprint node for a text adventure?

[Suthriel]

I am not sure, if it helps, but there is a free template for Visual Novels available at the Marketplace:

Visual Novel Framework - Full System in Blueprints - UE Marketplace

If this does not work for you, then maybe you can still learn one or two things from it, since your text adventure seems to be pretty similar to a visual novel. At least closer than to other game types ^.^

As far as blueprinting is concerned, you can create custom nodes with variables very easily. Lets say your node has 4 room choices: NSEW, a player clicks the go north button in your UMG menu, and blueprint can take that as input and go to the node for north. when the north node executes it can begin playing the new room music and display a new room picture in your UMG menu. Those assets will be referenced as variables in the bp node, same goes for the item pickups.

Out of curiosity, are there any tutorials, that use the style you describe here? This sounds better for some kinds of 2D games, than most tuts, that use Paper2D (not everyone wants a Jump&Run ^.^ Card games seem to favor your method)
