What VN genres have you read that aren't focused on romance?

Like a lot of people in this thread I also love mystery! And thriller. I really should look into some horror things too. I like stories that keep you on your toes.

Psychological, horror and mystery. Played Z.A.T.O recently, very good game, can't believe its free. Hotel dusk was good, dead plate, zeno, hundred line, the coffin of andy and leyley also.

Mystery and/horror visual novels for me! A lot of the Spike Chunsoft visual novels! I loved the Zero Escape series and AI: Somnium Files!

Urban Myth Dissolution Center came out last year and I enjoyed it (and the promotional oneshot they had, which is how I found out about the game!)

The pv was so attention catching! I was shocked at how low the view count was at. The launch trailer view count is still only at 7 thousand

I have to shout out The House in Fata Morgana, which is a gothic horror, and I loveee everything about that game. I love how well-written the story is, and every "door" makes you feel a vast range of emotions.!! Other than that, I enjoy mystery/detective games such as the entire ace attorney franchise, Strange horticulture, Return of the Obra dinn, and the case of the golden idol.

Ace Attorney! Love it. Oh, and I'm a huge fan of Lone Wolf Saga... I have also a friend of mine writing a VN, mystery one, no romance. Seems live Disco Elysium in a way, but just text.
