Now, if we're talking about actual Visual Novels (not Adventure or Point-and-click like Kings Quest) and ones i've played, there's the Ace Attorney series (the ones with Phoenix Wright and Apollo justice), Katawa Shoujo and Higurashi: When They Cry. I pretty much recommend them, though each has its variants; Ace Attorney you should know by now has bit more mechanics and gameplay, Katawa Shoujo is the traditional kind of Visual Novel, with branching paths and different endings and Higurashi is actually just telling a story, although I don't know if the recently localized Steam version is the one it's known for or one of the ports that is more like Katawa Shoujo. You should definitely check this to see more of em (though not all visual novels are localized).
As for Kings Quest..... if a rumour of The Odd Gentlemen turns out to be true, then i'm not giving any of my money to the Kings Quest reboot, neither now nor in the future.
