Seeking Any game recommendations with substantial plot?

[xMeganJ99x]

While I do enjoy a lot of smut in my games, I found recently that I really enjoy games with a substantial and interesting plot more than those with just pure smut. The games I've completed recently are: Acting Lessons, Depraved Awakening, Dreams of Desire, The City of Broken Dreamers, and Timestamps.

Hoping for some recommendations on similar styles of games. with well developed characters and an interesting plot.

Mist
Sanguine Rose
Defending Lydia Collier
Jessica O'Neil's Hard News
Being a DIK

are some of the games I played that come to mind.

Oathbreaker & Oathbreaker 2 (Recommended to start with the first one despite the worse art. The start of 2 can be quite confusing otherwise.)
Price of Power
Maybe Pale Carnations, which, while certainly smutty, is also quite a bit deeper than one would think at first (or at least I did).

And while the following aren't too deep in terms of plot, they do take the time to thoroughly develope the characters and their relationships. Maybe also of interest to you...
Light of my Life
A Summer's End
A Petal Among Thorns

Besides Mist, Ripples is a game where I basically forgot the smut and got drawn into the plot.
