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.

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.
