I've just noticed this: http://narcissu.insani.org/

It's a fanmade translation of a non-comercially-made japanese interactive novel, and has just released. Aparently it's a sad, depressing story...

"This is a story of disease and suffering; of medication and adverse effects; of thoracotomy scars and cellular poisons; of the living who cannot help but to die and of the dying who cannot help but to live; of a resting place other than "on 7F" or "at home".

Played it already? It seems it relies on ONScripter, a free implementation of a popular game engine called NScripter mostly used in h-games.

Yeah, I completed it, and it was very enjoyable (maybe I must say... painful; the story is kinda sad, but very well accomplished).

Now they've released another free translation of a free mini-novel: http://www.insani.org/soremata.html

Sadly, this one is windows-only, and I haven't managed to run it with latest wine. On the other hand, it is interesting, but very short (took me half an hour to go through it, and I go the slow way with this kind of stuff).

Mmrrm..

It is best to leave it for later then, I have to finish
something important for the next few weeks,
and I am already depressed as it is :(

But I reserve to play it later. I had to reorganize my
bookmarks to make space for it. I have a list of
games that I want to try, but no time just now.

Thanks for the info!
