Katawa Shoujo

There have been many themed visual novels in the past (catgirls, robots, catgirl robots, incestuous robot catgirls, etc) but the people at Four Leaf Studios decided to think outside the box with their first demo release, Katawa Shoujo, or ummm... Disability Girl. The game is based around a boy with a heart condition forced to attend Yamaku Academy, a school for disabled students. And, yup, you guessed it, there happens to be girls in this school... girls with disabilities. Now I know what you're thinking, "Mike, are you are some sort of sick bastard?" Well in short, yes, yes I am. I've been a lost cause for a long time now, and that only makes me like this visual novel that much more. The characters have amazing personalities making it difficult to choose between them. The story flows very well and feels real, especially compared to some visual novels I've played in the past. And of course to top it all off, the girls have disabilities. Like I stated earlier, you probably think I'm a terrible person (and I could be) but it just rubs me the right way. And how could I be a horrible person when I'm looking past these disabilities, and seeing their "inner beauty"? HA! Got ya there. Anyway, check out this awesome visual novel. When I first loaded it up, I went from start to finish in one sitting. From there I went through each girls arcs because I couldn't get enough of the game. I feel like a bit of a loser for having 100% completion on a demo but I really couldn't stop. Now I just gotta wait for the full release... You can find their blog here and download the game at the website here. Lastly, I just really want to give Four Leaf Studios the credit they deserve. For a group of people from around the globe to come together and create something is no easy task. They have also already announced they will not be charging for the full version when it is released. Simple amazing. Make sure you give them your thanks! Enjoy! P.S. The final release will have hentai scenes.

What kind of disabilities do they have? [Don't be too specific if it'll ruin the game] They all look normal (well, normal in an anime way... o.o). It's not like they're all mentally retarded and the hero is taking advantage of them...

...

Right?

I was thinking the same thing.

Why, it's not like you're raping them or anything.

Also, let's get some more art in here.

Title of post leaves something to be desired. It's an original idea for a visual novel (eventual eroge). Dude, you're not really that sick at all. I'll be waiting for the full release.

I don't. Here is why: The game is encouraging you to look past a person's disabilities and see them as a young woman who needs love in their life. In a sense, it is actually very good if you like playing this, because it means you are more accepting of girls with disabilities.

Now I have not yet played this, so it *could* be that you are taking advantage of the girls, and using their disabilities to manipulate them into a relationship with you, but from what others have said so far I do not think that is the case.

I'm not sure how long it has been since I originally heard about it, though I think it was when I came across the original concept art. I didn't think much of it until about a year ago I saw the picture again and found out they were actually making it. So now the demo is out and I've played it to 82% with Hanako and Lilly left to play through, and I always forget that it is just the demo... Needless to say I can't wait until the full version comes out.

Ah, I didn't mean something like that, what I meant was was that the people that made this game are doing it for free, even though it's really good quality. They should get some sort of compensation.
BTW: That Kenji guy looks like a pissed off Harry Potter, freaking cracked me up
