Want to give a shoutout right now to 999: Zero Escape and Virtue's Last Reward. If you've never played it before, the games are essentially a visual novel series with some light puzzles. Each game has a very basic premise: 9 people are trapped in a deathtrap situation and must assist each other in getting to the end and surviving. Of course, terrible stuff happens, old drama comes out, conspiracy plots, and people start getting murdered.
The interesting thing with this though is that the games are meant to be played multiple times and have SEVERAL different endings. In fact, you actually need to get a game over at times just in order to gain pertinent information you otherwise wouldn't have (the game does have a meta explanation for this as well). The writing is sharp, the themes really well-executed, and the finales are gutwrenching and fantastic.
The nice thing is, the designers smartly implemented the feature to fastforward dialogue to conversation choices and do other things to speed up repeat plays.
You can pick up 999 on DS and Virtue's Last Reward, it's direct sequel (play 999 first!) on 3DS or Vita. I also believe 999 is on iOS and I think​ the sequel might be as well.
