@Ingrid_Skovgard If you like Ace Attorney, then the recently released love letter to the series called “Attorney of the Arcane” is a great, great next target. The characters are captivating and the gameplay offers a few good twists on the standard formula. It gets pretty hard at the end, but not in a way that you can’t solve by just paying close attention to the case. It’s gotten several updates since its launch fixing typos and bugs, so the experience should be top-notch now. If you do try it, do tell how it goes.
danganronpa, ddlc :)

If you’re okay with a very long linear story with no gameplay: Higurashi (I recommend using the 07th mod that adds voice acting and animated sprites)
If you haven’t played the non-mainline Ace Attorney games they’re well worth a look. Ace attorney investigations 1&2, The Great Ace Attorney 1&2)
I also enjoyed the Steins;Gate series, but I like the goofy sci-fi stuff they do.
Steins; Gate 1 and 0 Daganronpa series Clannad Ace Attorney Great Ace Attorney
I don’t know that it really qualifies as a VN (because there’s some RTS - and I guess Adventure - aspects to it), but 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Can’t express how much I love Aegis Rim! Id definitely consider it a VN but with an actual game in there aswell.
Cannot recommend enough!

technically a puzzle game at the same time but that’s an ace attorney pic so you’re probably cool with it
Puzzle/mystery VNs that are my favourite: 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 doors; Virtue’s Last Reward; AI Somnium files.
STEINS;GATE and Higurashi are both great. It really depends on the genre you want though.
https://vndb.org/v is a good resource
I’m two chapters in to House in Fata Morgana and that has been great so far. Rather dark and moody (to say the least) but a really good read so far.
Va-11 Hall-A
To anyone who isn’t interested in Japanese-style visual novels, I’d recommend Scarlet Hollow. It’s an “immersive horror-mystery” illustrated by Abby Howard (of The Last Halloween fame). It’s an episodic title (the first episode is free on Steam) and sadly it is not finished yet.
I love horror mysteries! Thanks for dropping the link… hope it gets finished!
VA-11 Hall-A! One of my favourite VN if my instance url didn’t give it away. It’s not too long, listen to the start telling you to get cozy and then mix drinks and change lives.
