I wanna make a fnaf fan game but I don't know where to start

For when you make a text heavy game, where do you store the dialogue? Seperate file(s) like json for all dialogue, a global script that handles all dialogue in a giant switch or elif statement, or within in scripts of the respective characters? Or what?
