As the title says, can I use defold with Ink to create a text adventure game?

It looks like Ink just outputs JSON files, in which case yes, you can. However, it seems like no one has written a Lua runtime yet to interpret those JSON files, so you would have to write your own.
These articles might be helpful if you are interested in doing this:
If you’re not dead set on using Ink, you might take a look at DEFORK - easily create interactive, nonlinear stories, dialogs, conversations, which uses Twine? I’m not sure how the feature set compares.

Thanks for recommending it, @ross.grams 
I’m working on version 2.0 of Defork and I was thinking about adding integration for other tools, but Ink has some really weird JSON output that is not so easily parsed. I might take a look at it again. But for now, if you would like to start with Twine - it’s just so easy to create there stories and parse it to Defold, so I’m recommending it too There is everything explained on Defork community page, but if there will be the interest of the users, I could prepare a kick-off tutorial too
