Tools You'll Need
You'll need a few different softwares to properly run these games.
Oracle VM VirtualBox - This is the virtual machine you'll use to run a Japanese version of Windows XP. Be sure to install VirtualBox Guest Additions if the download link you choose doesn't include it.
Windows XP Professional SP3 (Japanese) - This is the OS you'll use that's compatible with Odeon and Jisatsu 101.
Neko Project II - This is the emulator you'll use to run Shizuku.
Odeon・オデオン (BOKU, 2001)
"One day a girl starts to awaken to her fate. Even if that fate may be too harsh for that frail body of hers. A woman sings in the Roman-era Odeon. A secret is now hidden under its remnants, exposed to the elements for all eternity. A mysterious human race that had come to Earth from some far unknown. Could that girl be a reincarnation of the songstress Mirei? In the flow of time an ancient phantasm nobody remembers reoccurs again. Where is humanity being guided to? Past and present intersect here..." [vndb]

I personally was only able to play this game with a Japanese copy of Windows XP, via Oracle VM VirtualBox. Using an English copy of Windows XP with the System Locale set to Japan didn't work.
My save files may still be there, so feel free to erase them. Enjoy.

Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou・ジサツのための101の方法・101 Ways to Kill Yourself (DUKE, 2001)
"Torabishi Takuji hears a noise he has come to label "grey". He doesn't know the true nature of the noise, and finally has started to lose the ability to discern between "delusion" and "reality".
"Delusion" and "reality", "life" and "death". Caught between those, he has started to seek proof that he "lives in reality". A stepsister that hides things from her brother. An energetic childhood friend. A beautiful girl with a coolness in opposition to her cute appearance. A mysterious classmate with an conduct soaked of the occult. A beautiful female teacher that lavishes her adult charm. A male student of whom several dark rumors talk about... These different characters will see their psyche cornered to the limit. This is their story." [vndb]

Also, I ran into an issue with the audio; The music files don't play at all during the game. Searching for the only known program that could fix this issue has lead to a dead end. The game is still up for download, if you want the files, but the music isn't working. If you'd still like the full experience, you can watch playthroughs in Japanese [here], or in English [here].
