The 10 things you want to do before dying.
Are there 10 things you want to do before dying?
I...have never thought about them. I haven't ever needed them, because I've always felt like there were nothing I would have done.
But, something has changed not so long time ago. That's why I'm writing a post to suggest this very nice, well-written and with a wonderful OST visual novel.
Narcissu
The anonymous protagonist is diagnosed with a terminal illness shortly after his twentieth birthday, and is admitted to a hospital in Mito, Ibaraki. There he meets Setsumi, a woman a few years older, who is also terminally ill. Finding that they both reject to die either in hospital or at home, they steal a car and run away together.

Narcissu Side 2nd
Narcissu: Side 2nd's plot revolves around Setsumi, the heroine from the original visual novel, and the people and circumstances that formed her into the character presented in the first game. She will share the limelight with new characters, including Himeko, Yuka and Chihiro.

There is also a third game, Narcissu 3rd -Die Dritte Welt-, but I haven't played it and I can't recommend it without knowing. But, believe me, this game is worth it. The first didn't make me cry, instead the second did a lot, but all yesterday I felt like someone has threw my heart away in a bin. It's fully depressing and yet a beautiful tale. Unluckily, hidden from most people.
