The Almost all VN's fit your criteria, depends how "in" to Asian culture you are. Games I'd recommend for the plot and not for the ahem "plot" are.
Steins;Gate: Best VN out there with semi decent gameplay too with the phone trigger system. It's totally accessible to the masses as its not focussed on girls getting naked etc. Its a conspiracy/time travel/tragedy/happy story.
Danganronpa 1 even more accessible than Steins;Gate as its voice acted in English rather than Japanese. Murder mystery VN with a hell of a lot of gameplay, i'd ALMOST call it a point and click style game but without the obtuse puzzles.
Now aside from VN's...
Deus Ex series, pick one, all great stories.
Final Fantasy 7, great story. Final Fantasy X, great story,
LA Noire, amazing game with lots of great stories and an overarching plot(may push your pc limits i dunno).
Baldurs Gate series, amazing, the quitesential D&D storyline.
Shadowrun, D&D steampunk, lots of side stories.
Off top of my head thats all for now! :3

I haven't played any proper story-driven game since Life Is Strange, and that was great but it was in September! I miss the thrill, the excitement, the plot twists! Gameplay is great and all and I have some great gameplay-wise games in my account but I feel like discovering a new story, any suggestions?
And in case it helps you, here are some narrative games I've really liked in the past:
Dragon Age: Origins and 2(although 2 far less. Couldn't play Inquisition as it runs at like 10 fps even on the lowest settings).
Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 but especially 2.
Bioshock: Infinite
Gone Home, which is my second favorite game overall
Life Is Strange, which is my single favorite game overall
TellTale's Walking Dead, seasons 1 and 2
TellTale's The Wolf Among Us (only watched someone play it on youtube, didn't actually play it myself)
So anything in the vein of those should be good ^^ Just so long as it isn't too graphically intensive. I think the most demanding game I could run would be Bioshock Infinite or maybe Company Of Heroes 2. See above about Inquisition just refusing to work.
No giveaways at this time, but when I do buy this hopefully great narrative game I might just get an extra copy to giveaway here~
Edit: Oh god, what have I done? So many great suggestions - My gaming waitlist is rapidly catching up to my book to-read list and series to-watch list and revision to-do list. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, but I'm going to bed now. Will read the rest tomorrow
Edit edit: As I got, so do you:
Telltale's Game of Thrones
Telltale's Michonne-based mini-series game-thing
I also got The Vanishing of Ethan Carter but only had money for one copy of that so, sorry
