Irisu Syndrome is like DDLC in terms of story type, although the gameplay is entirely different.
Observer is a cyberpunk mystery that has you delving into the memories of the recently deceased to solve the case, but along the way you have to deal with the mental side-effects of these actions. The main character being an elderly man is a contrast to the futuristic setting that adds to the unique atmosphere this game presents.

Without going into too much detail SOMA will have you questioning the meaning of "self" and "humanity". Made by the developers of the fantastic Amnesia series they are no stranger to atmospheric horror.

Going into the game blind you'll probably be caught off guard from the POV of the experience, but after the broadcast of an unknown signal that effects both the psychological and digital the simple reply of "I don't know." from a computer is pretty damn chilling.

If you're more into puzzle games than horror then this would be another I suggest if you enjoyed DDLC. I can't quite explain this as the premises are so different, but there's just something about how the digital and spiritual nature of this puzzle game seems to fit well when compared to DDLC. I suppose the closest similarity is that the more I learned about the story the more I cared about the character. It's by no means an easy puzzle game, at least not for me, as it really ramps up the difficulty later in the game.
Everlasting Summer is very much like this and it's free.

Mamamax used to have an excellent video going through this (with spoilers) that I was going to link here, but he took it down. Lena's Bad End is notorious for being even morte upsetting than Sayori's end in this game.
There's also another free visual novel that's shorter and less developed called Moe Era as well from a group that broke off from the developers of Everlasting Summer. One of the characters is even the spitting double of Natsuki (and she attends a school apparently ran by Freemasons according to the crest on her uniform)
