Katawa Shoujo

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.

Let me just say that I absolutely love Katawwa Shoujo. Nearly all the ones I've seen so far have had a passable story at best.

While obviously there is no other VN like this, are there any others that have such amazing stories?

DEARDROPS is amazing in storyline and quality to me, as well as the soundtrack. :31

OMG! I'm posting this while I'm still playing the game 'cause I had to say this: I spotted a Phoenix Wright (aka Gyakuten Saiban) reference!

*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

Man~! I just finished my first walkthrough (Emi's path). So beautiful! >_< I'm a 21 years -almost 22- guy, but still this VN almost made me cry. There were a precise scene, but I will keep the spoilers for myself. :P

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
SuikoReply
And know I just made sure I watched all of the possible routes in Emi's Path: the good ones, the very good ones, the regular ones, the bad ones that turn to good ones... and even her bad ending. I hate so much the bad endings! T_T Sadly, I'm kinda of curious and want to know every possibility... even if it means going through all possible endings. D:
JojungleReply
I never did them. Only for Shizune and hers wasn't even that bad. My friend was telling me about the bad endings and I just can't do it. Would spoil all the routes I've done.
ArdalanReply
True bro. I'm 22 years old guy but i found this game very touching and i end it today with Hanako ;)
Count MontyReply
Why put this here when they have downloads on the game's site?
TheYoungMrWrightReply
A Lot of people, me included, don't know about various things like that- if this was never uploaded, then I would never have found it and never played it. oh, god, am I glad I played it.
RandomDudeReply
I think he was asking why they didn't just link to the website for the download. The site and game were originally created in English.

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.
RosenkreuzReply
thank you very much admin, i greatly appreciated your work & i'm ready to help you whenever you need it ^^
geomaruReply
help, everytime i get to a certain point in the game the game suddenly closes and opens up notepad.
help i really want to play this game
Count MontyReply
Yeah, I had that same problem too. The problem seems to be an error in renpy.

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.

Absolutely amazing game. I played it when it was stilling the making up to the end of act 1 and decided to wait until it finished. Props to everyone who worked on it. I played a couple other VNs while I waited for this to finish since it interested me so much, but none of them kept my interest. I've played through Emi and Lilly's paths on this one though, and am now working through Shizune's. Next will be Hanako and then Rin. So well made. Truly impressive. Those who worked on this deserve great jobs doing such work if they chose to continue down this path. Can't give enough praise. Really can't. Thank you for all of your work.

This is the 2nd VN I have ever played (too lazy to play others =.=). And I regret playing Hanako route first T.T because imo its has the most incredible story.

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 (=.=!)
ShiZumaReply
hey i agree with ur comment there lol. Hanako was the first person that got my attention when they show the CG around the classroom. I thought: Shes really a mysterious, shy looking person with her hand over her face like that. I noticed she has scars on her hand so maybe she had some on her face too O_O;;

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
akiraReply
why the girls dont have voices???
KReply
Because this game is fan-made and with no budget.
JohnReply
If only there was voices this VN would make it on the top 10 doujin VNs
Count MontyReply
You realize this is indie, right?
Ranchan444Reply
Even without voice acting, this VN is one of the best out there. Hanako and Rin have by far some of the best stories in a VN that I have seen.
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.
SpikeEyeReply
I like this game. A pity there aren't any voices in it, though... kinda like the PC version of Deus Machina Demonbane(without the voice patch, obviously).
tressReply
this happened since yesterday, why???
anybody know what happened???
Count MontyReply
What? What's happening?

Hello, admin. First of all I want to thank you for putting up all these amazing games on a single site.
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.
Count MontyReply
You can't, the game was made in that aspect ration, if you change it it'd be stretched.
GrayKnightReply
Mediafire links are down
theisguyReply
I just want to point out that i LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!
maime.hoshiReply
this game is made by collaboration of programmers in 4chan.org, called themselves 4 Leaf Studios.

great game, teached me to love a person despite of physical flaws.
Count MontyReply
You needed to be taught to love people despite physical flaws?

I already knew that! Hell, that's 1st grade stuff right there!
no 1Reply
i love eroge
ByakkoReply
1.after i save the game and after that i restart computer my save file has been gone why my save gone(where that place save)
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
Count MontyReply
I have no idea what's wrong man.

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.
ShinjiReply
Hello!
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.
ShiZumaReply
Absolutely love this game. the story is beautiful and i fall in love with Hanako the first time i saw her in game(ofc that time i didnt know her name :P) wanted to go for her for my first playthrough. but ends up with Lilly. at least shes friend with Hanako lol xD Ok time for 2nd playthrough, Hanako FTW :D
Count MontyReply
There should be some walkthroughs for the Act one that will help you get onto each characters route. I'm sure google can help :)
ShiZumaReply
ah yes. I was following the walkthrough comment Daishi wrote up there xD i got Lilly first because i didnt know each of the chars name at first :D

Anyway, i finished Hanako's route and got all her CG... but for some reason it left me feels...empty? and kinda unsatisfied ToT
Count MontyReply
A friend of mine says Rin's route is the best, try that.

I here there is a lot of DRAMAZ.
Master ExploderReply
Well, see, the sex scene in Hanako's route is SUPPOSED to seem forced and unfulfilling; she didn't really want to do it, but felt at the time it was the only way she was gonna get Hisao to stay with her.

The end scene elicited an internal cheer from me, though.
JackIsBackReply
Hanako's route ended too abruptly, otherwise it could have been the best of the bunch.

awesome,mediafire,i love you admin
VladReply
this game is a must it even has a all age 4 the little ones great story thoe will they make another one.
Count MontyReply
Considering the popularity of this, unless they just don't want to, they'll likely make another.

I hope so, at least.
AzadaReply
I am beyond impressed that something of this quality came from a team of devs over a forum dedicated to a post on 4chan. lol Major props. Anyone know if thay have a way to donate since this game is f2p? :p
GovindaReply
One of the best eroges I've ever played, The only I miss is more avaliable girls, but ignoring that it is just wonderful, hope they release some adds for it, version 1.2 or something like that XD
descipatiReply
This game has ruined all other VNs for me. It's too hard to top the storylines. All of them. Even with the low number of adult scenes it;s still the best one ive found so far.
