18+ Game: Katawa Shoujo

Post by Matty »

Should start off by saying its not recommended for under 18's for reasons that will become apparent after this next line

Its a Visual Novel made by a group of 21 4Chan users (See i told you so, but no, nothing bad so far)

Download link & info - http://katawa-shoujo.com/
Mirror site - http://katawa-shoujo.com.nyud.net/
Katawa Shoujo is a bishoujo-style visual novel set in the fictional Yamaku High School for disabled children, located somewhere in modern Japan. Hisao Nakai, a normal boy living a normal life, has his life turned upside down when a congenital heart defect forces him to move to a new school after a long hospitalization. Despite his difficulties, Hisao is able to find friends—and perhaps love, if he plays his cards right. There are five main paths corresponding to the 5 main female characters, each path following the storyline pertaining to that character.

The story is told through the perspective of the main character, using a first person narrative. The game uses a traditional text and sprite-based visual novel model with an ADV text box.
Just made it to Act 3 & has been some good moments to laugh at, the Story is well wrote and i'm impressed considering its all been done and released for free after 5 years hard work

If you have the time & this seems interesting i recommend you check it out

Ok, depending on which route you take, i can guess its safe to say Act 3 is sort of NSFW or for those under 18 for obvious reasons :)

I heard there's a gay path too lul.

I heard this idea originally came from the designer of Valkyria Chronicles who even drew up a quick doujin for it.

Still, it's no bird VN.

I'm still waiting for a direct download link on the site. I'm not keen on torrents.

What was wrong with the DDL I sent you? Might as well just go with the torrent though, since it's the only way to get it so far it'll be well seeded.

I tried it, but it failed to install, citing portions of the film being corrupted or missing.
