Hi, I wasn't sure where to ask this. /v/ seems to hate VNs, and it seems like this board discusses them more than /a/ does (even though they made KS).

Anyway, I'm a bit of a noob to visual novels. Someone recommended me some before but none of them really caught my interest.

I once played a game called Snatcher back on the Genesis which was really cool, and was a lot like Phoenix Wright.

Are there any other games like this, where it's a visual novel, but also a detective story where you play as a hard boiled bad ass trying to solve a giant conspiracy? Does Japan still make games like that these days?
