Oxenfree. Also, seconding Life is Strange. Soooooo good. And I don't know about other Telltale games, but Tales from the Borderlands is pretty amazing.
How do you define visual novels? Do walking simulator count? If so, What Remains Of Edith Finch.
Ooooh, I almost forgot - Night in the Woods. Wonderful slice-of-life stuff set in a small town with a bunch of quirky characters. With a focus on platonic friendship.

A Fiery Flying Roll
Tales from the Borderlands is my favourite Telltale game. In general, Telltale tell good stories but it's very linear and few of your choices matter.

What on earth is a "visual novel"? Comic books? Telenovelas?
80 Days (Really good. Jules Verne + Steam Punk).
Long Live the Queen (Princess Maker crossed with Crusader Kings)
Doki Doki Literature Club (Looks like a dating sim but really isn't)
Magical Diary (Girl Hogwarts)
Life is Strange (Takes the Telltale formula and does it so much better.)
