As a few have said before i would really suggest some Japanese VNs for good romantic, emotional stories.
2 of my favorite are The most Forbidden love in the world, and Nanairo reincarnation
I can see the appeal and understand why people would go for animation only. But for me I played so many Anime VN's early on that the lack of animation doesn't really bother me at this point.
However i will say its easier to get sucked in when there are animations 🤤
Ride to hell: Retribution...
For real tho its an interesting question but besides Anime Visual novels I cant think of any 3dcg games that would be improved.
