Hello. Could someone recommend me some good psychological/philosophical VN (translated), VN you can actually learn something from, those which make you think. For example:

Umineko - what is true? Ways to understand it  etc.

F/SN - heroism and dreams...

Steins;gate - entire concept of time...

 

Also, I try to avoid VN with rape or crazy sexual abuse

Like entire wormrape thing from F/SN Sakura's background

I am sick tired of reading stuff like that in western literature...

Ever17 deals with identity.

Remember11 is influenced by psychological concepts.

Virtue's Last Reward is a take on human trust and suspicion, but play its prequel 999 (for the DS) first. Some philosophical stuff in there too.

Saya no Uta deals with madness and loneliness.

All of these have horror/thriller elements as well, by the way.

Yume Miru Kusuri has some very interesting topics and concepts throughout. For example, the consequences emotionally of bullying in high school (and how sometimes students are wiser then the authority figure), drug use, etc.

Thank you everyone for suggestions.  I added some of them to my plan to read.

When I asked this very same question to my friends who play VN they suggested Chaos;Head and Rewrite. Does any of these really have what I am searching for?

I've only played a tiny bit myself, but from what I understand, this would be a great recommendation except that it has material that Sparteh specifically is trying to avoid.

Rewrite... hmm. The last two routes, and I suppose Akane's route, are a little thought-provoking, but still probably not what you're looking for. Haven't played Chaos;Head myself so I can't say anything about that.

 

I think Grisaia might be a good fit, but I won't say why, because spoilers.
