I've been a fan of visual novels for several years, though I haven't actually played that many of them. The first one I recall was Katawa Shoujo, still considered by many to be one of the best of the genre. Later I came across Everlasting Summer, modeled after Japanese dating sims but set in Russia and the former Soviet Union. Everlasting Summer has a modicum of furry content in it in that one of the characters is a catgirl, but she only appears in a couple of storylines that are unlocked after reaching some of the other endings.
A couple of more recent examples that include furry content are Sakura Spirit and the Nekopara series. In Sakura Spirit, a judo student finds himself transported back to feudal-era Japan where he encounters several colorful characters, two of whom are fox spirits. Nekopara, a series of four VNs (so far), tells the story of a young man who leaves home to start a bakery and soon discovers that two of the family's catgirls have stowed away. Eventually his younger sister and the family's other four catgirls become involved in the story. The furry characters in both of these (as well as the aforementioned character in Everlasting Summer) are kemonomimi rather than full-fledged furries. The Nekopara stories are strictly linear (no decisions or branches, just playing through the story), and Sakura Spirit has only one relatively inconsequential decision point.
All of the above except Katawa Shoujo are available on Steam, but Everlasting Summer and Nekopara have adult content that's censored in the Steam versions.
For those who aren't familiar with visual novels and don't know if they're something you'd enjoy or not, I'll suggest a couple that will give you a taste. Within Without and Carpe Diem are both available for free from Steam, and both can be played through completely in under a half hour; in other words, they would rate as short short stories where other VNs are novels or epics by comparison. I wouldn't hold up either as shining examples of the best the VN world has to offer, but if you've never played a VN and you have no idea how they work or whether it's something you'd enjoy or not, either or both should be good enough to give one an idea what they are like.
