Kamaitachi no Yoru(1994) and its predecessor Otogirisō(1992) are classic novel games.
After playing these two games, a young man created a game that would revolutionise otaku culture.
That game was To Heart(Shizuku & Kizuato).
After playing To Heart, many young people thought "I want to make a game like this too!". This is how novel games have flourished since the 2000s.
Among the young men were Kinoko Nasu, known for "Tsukihime" and "Fate", and Gen Urobuchi, known for "Phantom of Inferno" and "Madoka Magica".
If there is an origin to Japanese novel games, it is definitely these two(Kamaitachi no Yoru and Otogirisō).
...The explanation is long.
The main scenario is quite a real mystery, as it is written by a professional mystery writer.
However, this is a multi-scenario game, so when the main scenario ends, a completely different world scenario begins in the same place.
I think the best part of this game is this strangeness.
A strange novel game with the occult, laughter and a little bit of sex.
The sequel, 2, is also interesting (although some of the core fans hate it).
I didn't like the third one.
When it comes to remakes, it's out of the question. (That plain silhouette would have been better! Just a pretty girl character doesn't leave any room for imagination!)
It's an unfortunate situation that the only translated version is for iOS.

I don't have the language skills to tell people what to do. Even I can say with certainty that...
The most reliable way to learn a language is to... Read more, listen more. This is the only way I can think of.
For example, I think this person's perception of languages is correct.

If we were to imitate Mrs. Lomb Kato's approach, I think the best way for us to learn is to use games.
Looking at your list of games, I see that you like Resident Evil.
Then there's a way to compare the English/Japanese audio of Resident Evil, or to use in-game text that's been dropped on the internet. Or any other game, for that matter.
I'm sorry. I don't have much useful advice to give.
