Yarn Spinner

We used yarn with Unity when making a VN for a game jam. It worked well--it has a decent level of support for Unity already, and as /u/ziptofaf has said having the ability to do things other than pure VN is useful. The extra work was not much--took a few hours to get the basic text components and UI designs set up, and then you just made a prefab and swapped your yarn scripts in and out. Yarn also natively supports variables (including variables not in the game--you can link up your point-and-click easter egg or your OnTrigger script for when the player makes it to a location) and branching selection, so it's easy to hop back and forth.
