I finished reading the Visual Novel for the first time on my PSP when I was looking for a good ported VN for PSP. I was so drawn into the story that somehow my depression suddenly vanishes and gives me a new reason to live my not so good life. Narcissu is a story about terminally-ill people who somehow, even though there's no more hope in their life, carried to do something that every terminally-ill people want to do. And that is to die where they want to die. I bought the copy of the Light Novel in my own language when it was on sale on some local anime convention. And I can proudly say that Narcissu is one of the best linear VN out there that's also great for people who want to play VN for the first time. I bought the 10th Anniversary Anthology Project because I want to support the developer to make a jewel that is on par with Narcissu. In short, Narcissu are one of those story that can change your life forever.

This it the best free visual novel I've played, has a good short plot, really...really knows how to hit your emotions and make you cry. I loved it every part of it that I might play it again for the story :'(

Got to say when I first came across this vn I scrolled the comments first. Seeing all the teary-eyed comments had me going, it cant be that bad. Gladly, I was proven wrong and found myself blubbering by the end. Had to walk away a couple of times (almost as bad as *eden). You know what your getting yourself into and its like a slowed down version of a recorded crash, (you can forsee the end at the beginning and you know its coming but there's nothing you can do to stop it). Emotional rollercoaster 10/10 I loved it and will look forward to the creators other works.

Beautifully written and touching, I recommend it for anyone drawn to such stories. I am a little disappointed thought that achievements don't appear to be unlocking for me.
