Looking for good visual novels

[Penter† 0]

I honestly don't know if this is the right place to put this, but generally visual novels would be considered games, and I couldn't find any better place.

 

I have been playing/reading a few visual novels, and I really enjoy the style of them. The problem I have, is that most visual novels either have strong language, or erotic scenes( I often have to quit a novel in the middle because, simply because of this). I am wondering if anybody would know a good visual novel that would not have much strong language, and erotic scenes. I generally don't like dating sims/romance, but any genre other than that is fine, as long as it is well written. 

Thanks~

Analogue: A Hate Story is the closest thing I can think of. Also the only thing I can think of.  It basically follows the romance sim tropes, but doesn't sink to their level for the most part. Well worth your time in the general case. (No romance scenes since most of the cast is either long dead or a computer program, and mostly told via journal type entries, as far as I can remember.)

As far as more standard graphic novels go, you can get the first two volumes of Dream Keepers for free online.  Dream Keepers can throw you on it's visual style, but it's really quite mature and well done. Earlier stuff can be rough, but it steadily improves and I quite enjoy where it's at and where it's going - http://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/home.html 

 

Years ago, I followed another online graphic novel that had potential, but didn't quite grab me at the time. Great artwork, well written, but missing that magic touch I think. The only problem is, I don't remember the name and not sure if I have the link somewhere in old backups. May not even exist anymore.

Here's another online offering that's basically a graphic novel - Digger by Ursula Vernon.  It takes about 90 pages for the thing to really solidify, especially the art style, but well worth the read.
