Story-driven visual novels with choices

What I miss, though, are games where the story actually unfolds slowly and your choices feel personal, not just cosmetic. A while ago I tried a few titles that promised character depth, but they rushed everything and I dropped them pretty quickly. Now I'm curious if anyone here has played something that really takes its time with character growth and decisions that feel earned.

I've played a couple like that over the past year, usually smaller indie projects. One that stuck with me recently was https://pornplaybb.com/porn-games/yumis-temptation-version-0-1/, mainly because it doesn't throw everything at you at once. The pacing is slower, and the focus is more on conversations and how relationships evolve depending on what you choose. I went in without big expectations and ended up replaying parts just to see how small decisions changed the tone between characters. It felt more like reading an interactive story than grinding through scenes.

Spending time with narrative games has honestly changed how I relax in the evenings. I don't always feel like committing to a long TV series or a complex RPG, so something episodic works better. It's also nice when a game doesn't pressure you to rush, letting you step away and come back later without losing the thread. That kind of design feels more thoughtful, especially for people juggling work, hobbies, and limited free time.
