Katawa Shoujo

Hisao Nakai is a normal high school student, currently in his final year of high school. One day Hisao receives a letter from parties unknown in his locker and waits at the written place for the sender. The person who wrote the letter turns out to be his crush; while speaking to her, he suddenly collapses. He awakes in a hospital bed, and is told by the doctors that the reason he collapsed is due to arrhythmia, a rare heart condition that causes his heartbeat to sometimes become irregular. Due to this, his parents have enrolled him in Yamaku, a school for disabled students of all kinds.

*giving a melancholical sigh* ... KS was what brought me to VNs ... loved the Act1-demo. Downloaded the full version from their site when it was released (3 days ago as of this writing). That said, thumbs up for spreading and being so quick about it Admin. You rock.

Rin's path has left me emotionally tired now for 2 days..

hohhoi07 Jan 2012Reply

Man, I can relate. Family project had the same effect for me. I couldn't get it out of my head for many days. And now this. Maybe I should stop reading these.... but then I would miss all the great stories. (I don't like the mindless sex ones.... as much)

Nizzy09 Jan 2012Reply

Yeah, Fam Project was a real good and touching one too. But in difference to KS, it didn't touch me in such a sad way, but sent me into rage again and again, because i dislike those, let's say, "abusive" stories.
Anyway, if you liked Fam Project, you should try Kanon - it has some really touching stories too. =)

Btw. if anybody wonders/worries about the 18+ - the H-scenes can be disabled (just as the girls, ha ha ha. Boy, now i feel bad) but are anyway made in just the same sensitive way as the rest of the game. Except maybe for Emi's Path ;-)

hohhoi09 Jan 2012Reply

Yeah, I played Kanon too. It didn't have the same effect. But KS, I really really liked. For some reason, at the time I read it, Fam Pro really hit me hard.(in a good way.) Though I never finished Chunhua's route as she just didn't interest me enough.

On another note, I fail to see what you mean by "abusive". Could you elaborate? Don't be offended. I'm just curious.

Nizzy14 Jan 2012Reply

I mean that all of the paths at Fam. Project deal with abuse in one way or another. Chunhua sold herself and probably got (ab)used even more, Jun sold herself, the whole angle with Masumi's husband and the background of Aoba wasn't much better. At least one could protect Matsuri before any harm was done. I mean, it's nothing as f***ed up as "Hitomi - My Stepsister" (I'd say, it's another kind of rage. One is positive and caring, the other is simply "WTF?!"), but it simply pushes my buttons and i go into "protector on white horse"-mode, if you know what i mean. I think, maybe I'm not the type for such stories... ... ... so, now going to play "Maiden Rape Assault – Violent Semen Inferno" ... that sounds nice and romantic ... ...

Sirious through, any recommendations else for someone who liked stuff like KS, Fam.Project, Ever17 and such?

Manly Man the Manly man14 Jan 2012Reply

@Nizzy, im not really sure. alot of the really good ones made me hurt bad. if youre looking for something sweet and good, theres Clannad & Little Busters( as with any of the KEY company games), Wanko to Kurosu( tho half way its just fukafukafuk), Galaxy Angel, Symphonic Rain, and Planetarian.

other than those i havent played any others that were sweet and calming for the mind

these are violent(very) and sex oriented but actually have a decent story in a way: Cross+channel, Sengoku Rance(the main story made me cry a lil but i wouldnt recomend the other rance games cause theyre all extreme), swan Song, and Yume Miru Kusari.

These i recomend after you feel like your up to a different change of pace but they may not be your cup of tea. I know because it was hard to push myself thru some of these... ;_;

hohhoi15 Jan 2012Reply

@nizzy: Manly man above me gave some good suggestions. It's really been a while since I've last read a good vn other than KS, and you've likely read about every one that I can think of. (not many, for instance I haven't read ever17)

Manly Man the Manly man19 Jan 2012Reply

@hohoi
Manly men aim to please(tho im not actually that manly). Thank you for the words of appreciation and you are welcome. you make me feel like a hero :)

Sonoseriesfan08 Jan 2012Reply

Lol..I feel you. I cried like a baby and was emotionally unstable after playing Kana Little sister~ That was my gateway VN.

hohhoi09 Jan 2012Reply

Kana.... man, also one of the VNs that Left me drained for a while....

hohhoi09 Jan 2012Reply

Mostly sad. Especially some of the endings.

Jess07 Jan 2012Reply

Hey, another person whose first VN was Family Project. I've put off downloading this VN for the same exact reason as you...

Secondly I was going to download is straight from their site but it's overloaded, then I get the Rin picture that says "I've got no arms to hug you with" while she's looking so nonchalant... It's both sad and cute at the same time. I don't understand. T_T

I'll still read it of course. Kinda worried about the fact it's 18+ though, will there seriously be h-scenes...? I wonder how those'll turn out...

Jess07 Jan 2012Reply

I've only played for 20-30 minutes and I've already seen the error of my ways! I am now a better person for reading this visual novel! These things are only an issue if you make them one! Hahaha! :D

Manly Man the Manly man14 Jan 2012Reply

Manly Man approves of this moral learned :)

spaz19 Jan 2012Reply

and a simple spaz agrees

Bigdaddygoblin22 Jan 2012Reply

I totally agree, aside form the good story it really drove home some feelings people might have in similar situations. Emi and Nanako were really different, trying for Lily now

Markules07 Jan 2012Reply

(This may not be related to this game but I'm gonna say it anyway)

Hey admin, just keep an eye out that Kikouyoku Senki Tenkuu no Yumina (Yumina the Ethereal in english) will be released in the early of 2012 so it could be somewhere on this month or next. But I will keep an eye out for you if you want me to :)

As usual, haven't tried the game throughly, but game seems to work ok with Mac OSX Lion, and WINESKIN 2.53 (a WINE implementation for OSX ), with the WS8Wine1.1.5 engine...(other engines might work too, but I have only tried with this one)...no need to set the LANG to japanese...fonts look ok, sound ok...thanks!

hohhoi10 Jan 2012Reply

Their site actually has different downloads for MAC, Linux and Windows users.

ttrt08 Jan 2012Reply

thanks admin!

Zhadowreaper08 Jan 2012Reply

Can u use both of the file servers? by that i mean us part 1 as filesonic and use part 2 as fileserve?

Zhadowreaper08 Jan 2012Reply

And would that go to all the games you have on the website?

Crazyguy09 Jan 2012Reply

I'm pretty sure i heard Admin saying you could do that before but i'm not 100% sure Admin might want to confirm this.

admin09 Jan 2012Reply

Yes, it is correct.

ConcernedBystander09 Jan 2012Reply

You can. I've downloaded like 9 games doing part 1 filesonic part 2 fileseve.

Kaz09 Jan 2012Reply

hey guys~~ I know this isn't related to the post~~ but~~ when I browsing on internet cafe~~ the newest 3 VN's (katawa shoujo, Koenchu! Voice Actress Tale ~You,the sky and summer~ and my girlfriend is the president) aren't displayed at the top page~~ instead the newest is Little Buster!~~ yes i refreshed the page few times~~ the result are same~~~~ but when I browsing at home the 3 newest VN are displayed~~~ why??

admin09 Jan 2012Reply

Your cafe or it's ISP is using proxy cache that keeps copies of websites saved and serves them locally instead of downloading them again. You can try clicking shift-refresh to "force" redownload. If this won't help then you should contact cafee staff - i can't help you with this one, as it's problem on your end.

SR09 Jan 2012Reply

got the same problem here... still find way to fix it ... my desktop is display as well but my laptop stuck with Umineko ....

SR09 Jan 2012Reply

i can't seem to hear any voice? is that normal?

admin11 Jan 2012Reply

Yes, this game is unvoiced.

Mykorrhiza11 Jan 2012Reply

That certainly is an amazing Visual Novel. Damn, I'm so tired going to sleep 3 a.m. because I can't stop reading. D:

randompasserby12 Jan 2012Reply

+ 1 on this.

I've done two solid nights reading until 4am because I'm so hooked, and I've only managed to complete two routes so far XD
I'm savouring everything. The artwork is frigging beautiful.

DevK12 Jan 2012Reply

It's a really great game despite being amateur-made, in fact, it's better than many other eroges.

Avagantamos13 Jan 2012Reply

I'm honestly surprised that this is fan-made. This was truly a beautiful game, although I've only finished 2 routes. I expected this game to be an emotionally draining one, given the circumstances of the main character, but I was honestly surprised to see only a few tear jerking moments, and I'm not afraid to say that manly tears were shed on this game. The best part though, is that I found this game on my birthday a couple of days ago. A wonderful birthday present. Thank you Admin.

Ushio14 Jan 2012Reply

Ow damn I remember this game being deleted at my Pc because of reformatting. So does this means that the full version has been released?

I thought that they had already stopped working on it & never going to release the full of it.

Manly Man the Manly man14 Jan 2012Reply

no, they finished. it would be cool if you supported them and told them thanks :P

peter15 Jan 2012Reply
