take a look at prior discussions, there are tons of discussions about recommendations already.

Theres a lot of visual novel games out there, so describing more about what you liked about the story and the type of genre of story you would like to experience would help a lot to find a game you like.

That being said, here's some games I've played that I suggest.

1. I Was A Teenage Exocolonist
Probably the most similar game to Until Then that I've played. A sci-fi coming of age story about growing up over the course of 10 years on an alien planet. It's got:
- Very Charming characters
- Bright, Vibrant, Colorful art style
- Slice of Life, very wholesome heartwarming scenes
- A little bit of romance
- Lots of different endings, I believe somewhere around 20-30 endings!
- Content Warning: Explores themes of abuse, death, child death, and trauma. A little more heavy than Until Then, but nothing too crazy.

2. Danganronpa Series / The Nonary Games Series (aka 999)
Danganronpa and the Nonary Games are very similar thematically and gameplay wise. Both have:
- Multiple endings
- Engaging puzzle gameplay
- Story is shrouded in some crazy mysteries.
- Dark, heavy themes. Lots of character deaths and blood. Not so much gore, but I think both has you investigate crime scenes and dead bodies.
- Both series are quite long and have multiple games. If you love the first of each game, you won't have to worry about waiting for their sequels!

Slay the Princess
A psychological horror visual novel with a bunch of different endings. The character you play has one mission, the slay the princess in a cabin on a hill. Depending on your choices, the princess and the circumstances are you changes drastically. It has:
- Very compelling narrative that ranges from comedic to deeply profound
- Very interesting character(s). You'll see what I mean when you play it.
- Strong psychological horror elements
- Similar game length to Until Then, maybe a little shorter

Telltale's The Walking Dead
I enjoyed all the games in the series very much, but might scratch your itch. If you don't already know, there's going to be a lot of death, blood, gore, and messed up, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up people. It goes without saying that if you don't enjoy these types of dark stories, you probably don't want to play the game.
- Strong batches of characters. Some you're going to hate and others you absolutely love. And a few you won't really care for.
- Twists and turns that keep you on your toes.
- Feels like a TV show. It's a very entertaining series to watch someone else play.

Coffee Talk / VA-11-HALL-A (aka Vallhalla)
Stunningly vibrant, beautiful games (if you like pixel art) with loveable, charming, exciting characters. Both have the same premise: serve some drinks and listen to the woes and stories of your customers.
- Easy to relax to games. Kick your feet up and enjoy the character interactions unfolding before you.
- Gameplay is super easy. Just get the drinks right anf you'll be golden.
- Very wholesome and sweet. Yet, also explores themes of communication, relationships, and the hardships of everyday life. It's quite grounded as a story.
- Soooooo many characters! And I love all of them to bits

Okay, hoped this helped! Enjoy your time exploring the very awesome world of visual novels

I really recommend Night in the woods and Life is strange!

Another vote for A Space for The Unbound.

Space for the Unbound is the closest pick.
In fact I like Space for the Unbound quite a bit more because the game itself is more fun to play with more actual gameplay than just story.
The game is also a more focus experience which progress and gets to the point much faster, and only requires one playthrough to get the full experience.

Without a doubt, A Space for the Unbound is a very good option, however Until Then is much funnier and the characters have much more charisma, but A Space for the Unbound is really good too and it has more gameplay as it has been already mentioned.
Detention is also a good choice because it has a very good story, but it's horror. More gameplay too.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! also has a great, and surprising, story.

Mutazione 100%. It's one of my favourite games and Until Then is the one that came closest to it in terms of narrative and characters (doesn't have the same ambitious scope, but has amazing characters and writing).

My suggestion is not a classic interactive narrative, BUT a story that also caught me was from the game
Anno: Mutationem

Just one of my top picks for VN.

Agreed! In particular, the first Life is Strange is a must try. It became a sleeper hit back in 2015 for a reason.
