"Analogue" is what introduced me to visual novels. I saw it on Steam and, still flush with birthday money (April 29th), decided to buy it after playing the demo. I quite liked it, and I'd probably be writing fanfic about it right now if I hadn't been directed to KS by someone on Steam's Analogue forum - which reminds me, I need to go back there and thank him.
Personally, I've always enjoyed stories that had something to say beyond just telling the story, even when I didn't agree with them (Isaac Asimov and George R. R. Martin both do that for me) but I recognize not everyone feels that way. Also, it introduced me to a subject I had been completely unaware of previous to playing, so that was a good thing, too. I've got "Don't Take It Personally, Babe..." downloaded but haven't installed it yet. Still getting KS out of my system.
