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.

While obviously there is no other VN like this, are there any others that have such amazing stories?
i just loove it :D
and i havent finish the whole game but i right off the bat when to Riho's route ;D
it's. so. good.
do you know where to download the soundtracks?
Thank you!
*SPOILER ALERT ON!*
In the scene titled "Cold War", when Shizune and Lilly start arguing there is an animation that reminds me a lot of PW: first two horizontal thumbnails of each their faces, then a full-body of them and then a close-up version whenever one of them speaked. I missed some "Objection!" there, but I LMAO for good. XD
*SPOILER ALERT OFF!*
Well, that said I'm going to keep playing it. ^^ I hope to meet another PW reference like this one. LOL
I love this VN. It's so different to anything I've played last now. Even the player interface is different showing you the name of the current scene, the soundtrack playing that moment, how time you have played... I give this game a 9/10. The 1 point it miss is because of the ecchi CG. I don't play these games online for the ecchi content, but a little more of fanservice would be realle appreciated. LOL
And, the answer to the original question is: This site profits when you use their download links, as opposed to them linking to the original site.
help i really want to play this game
It's the part where he's having an internal monologue and there's a black transparent box over the screen, right?
You'll just have to hurry through it, saving every time it transitions to a new page. Once you get through it, you won't have that problem(make sure to save at the scene "Gateway Effect" and use that for when you wanna start the game over.
Note* that I just started playing and havent played any other routes yet =.=. I picked Hanako 1st out curiosity, mysteriously and shy cute girl is my weakness because im one as well...but as a guy (=.=!)
that just makes me wanna know more about her. Sadly i got Lilly on my first route, but thats ok xD at least i know abit on what caused her scars
What makes this VN so great isn't the disability gimmick but rather the characters themselves that are unique, yet feel very human! I haven't felt so attached to a character in a long time and I haven't cried at the end of some of the routes since Edelweiss and Little Busters.
anybody know what happened???
This game and everything else has been working perfectly. However I have one question:
How do I make the game fit to my screen? I have quite a wide monitor, and all the games except Ef (which automatically adjusts the resolution on full screen mode) appear square instead of rectangular on fullscreen mode, thus having black spaces on both sides. This is not a problem per se, but I'd highly appreciate it if you knew a solution and gave it to me.
great game, teached me to love a person despite of physical flaws.
I already knew that! Hell, that's 1st grade stuff right there!
2.this game don't have sound plzz telle me why??????
Just that plzz conet my E-mail or post here i waitng your replay Admint ^^ thx
Try re-downloading, and if that doesn't work, try re-downloading it from the game's site.
If that still doesn't work, try asking on their tech help board, they're more than willing to help you fix the problem.
First:
To your Problem with the Saves:
The saves are somewhere in a Folder named ...\...\renpy\katawashoujo_actual\ . Search for it and make a copy of the saves somewhere else on your disk if the problem can't be solved. Maybe you have something like ccleaner executed with every boot which automatically kills everything you did on your last session?
Second:
This game has sound! What you mean is that it has no voices.
Why? Well this is a free game made by people who volunteered to spend a hole bunch of their lifetime to create a great game. They are no professionals and to pay for professional voice actors was impossible because the game is free. And there are not a lot of girlfriends willing to be a voice in an eroge. That's why.
But nevertheless, it's still a great game, esspecially under this circumstances.
Anyway, i finished Hanako's route and got all her CG... but for some reason it left me feels...empty? and kinda unsatisfied ToT
I here there is a lot of DRAMAZ.
The end scene elicited an internal cheer from me, though.
I hope so, at least.
