For Japanese VNs? Most of the ones I could suggest you've probably heard of or seen the anime for (Steins Gate, Higurashi, Clannad). I enjoyed School Days way back when for the meme, but outside of that its mostly pornographic.
That's really the reason why its stayed a mostly Japanese genre, because 90% of it is porn or close to it, and when it isn't its usually becomes big enough to get adapted into something else.
Higurashi has been remade like 4 times, so make sure you pick the one that feels most appealing to you. I don't recall much of the content changing, but the art between versions is wildly different. The later versions probably have more added (since they came after the anime was a huge hit), but I know a few guys who swear by the "boxing glove" originals.
Umineko, written by the same guy who made Higurashi, is also a great one. But it is quite polarizing. Either you love it or hate it. But it is suuuuper long.

The original Higurashi was drawn in MSPaint, and we shan't have the graphics ghouls fool us into thinking it was insufficient!
