Which engine should I start with for non-platformer 2D games?

Hi guys, I would like to try developing gaming, but I don't know which engine should I start with.

The idea in my head is something like a mix of Ace Attorney with Paper Please. From a little search from google I know that Unity is popular in developing 2D games, but further I searched, I can see almost every tutorial about Unity2D is how to make a platformer, something like a classic mario game, which is not what I want.

So the question is, should I start with Unity or something else? Since I have zero programming experience and knowledge, I will need so much time to learn, that's why I hope the learning is on the spot.

Thank you

I recommend Ren'Py. It's specialized for visual novels (like Ace Attorney) but flexible, and it's truly free open source software.
