Quite franky the best VN I've played. This is free, but it's really good enough to be commercial. It's a little old, but I totally blame that on how obscure it is. It's weird because no one advertizes this as much as other VNs. I somehow found this through chance. If you're into bittersweet stories with a bit of slice-of-life, then this will be godsend. If I were to erase any memory like in this game, I'd erase the memory of me playing this game so I can play it again.

Getting through True Rememberance now. I'll probably finish it tonight.

But did anyone play Narcissu? It's here: http://narcissu.insani.org/ and was translated by the same team that did True Remembrance.

Anyone play it? Any good? No spoilers, please.

To be frank, I tried to. But it's just way too dark and gloomy. Basically, kid is going to die and I think he's going to go ahead and pick a place to die by running from the hospital. Now, there is no problem with depressed VN if there's some sort of light. I really tried. By the first 5 minutes, it was completely depressing. I went for like what, 15 minutes before I gave up. I might try again, but there's just no silver lining in this story.

Yeah, I agree. I thought it was good as an existential piece, but that's it. Looking for a happy story, this is not the place to look. There is actually a Narc 2, which seems a bit brighter, but I don't know much about it because Insani, in spite of all his promises, never translated it. Bah.

Wait, people didn't know about Narcissu and True Remembrance? O_o I thought those 2 were the general go-to VNs for sampling the genre (since they're quite good for being free and have no adult content).

They're very obscure games with no professional backing. How WOULD we know about it?

Because it was translated by Insani, who pretty much made all the tools all small-group translators today.

I've seen a number of other insani works, and I think I came across True Remembrance a couple years back but wasn't into visual novels back then. I really only started playing them 2-3 years ago.

Or maybe that was Planetarian? In any event, people hawk Insani's translation projects.
