don't know what vns you've played, but i'll recommend you some of my favorites where i've really come to enjoy not only the characters but plot as well! hope you do end up checking out some :3
To Eat a God by Soffis_mbm ! it's my fav vn novel because it goes beyond just a romance game; the concept is spectacular, all the characters and their designs are unique, and the WORLDBUILDING simply pulls you in. it's a biggie but has lots of dif routes to explore ! :D i especially hope you give this one a play! <3
Watch the Road (DEMO) by mirawakestudios is a great one too. here, the writing and atmosphere really shine through, and if i had to describe it very briefly, it would be 'the nostalgia and melancholy we feel on cold, snowy nights. wouldn't you like to have a deep, long conversation with a stranger and spill your guts?' it's a really lovely (almost poetic) work in progress with lots of alternative endings too, so def worth a check out :3 !
The Winter Wedding by devilinlovegames has been a recent fav of mine - i've personally never seen the concept of the omegaverse used in a vn before so it really drew me in. it has mystery and horror elements with it and is set in a victorian gothic era so it's a very interesting work to check out!
this one isn't a romance vn, but i'll just add it here because it's a masterpiece on its own: Do NOT Take This Cat Home by Pixeliminal. it's about taking (or not) a seemingly cute cat home. mixes cuteness with horror elements very well; the original music has similar vibes to weirdcore / liminal spaces AND has a very thoughtful and almost unexpected deep message at the end.
would geniously love to hear what u think if u ever decide to check any of these out! anyways happy playing Dore :D
