    As a supporter of the radical notion that women are people, I find this disturbing on many levels. :/

    Your comment literally has nothing to do with this game. Unless you're somehow putting forth the notion that cripples aren't people?

    Play the game, then criticize. Somehow I don't think you'd be saying that if you had.

    Oh, so you're saying that we shouldn't think about disabled girls in a sexual manner whatsoever? Isn't that treating them as nonpeople?

    Or are you saying that you find the idea of people producing pornographic games disturbing? If that's true, do you find the romance novel genre equally disturbing?

    I dunno...

    I used to compete athletically with other disabled people from the ages of 12-21 (how long I competed), and a good proportion of the ladies were pretty hawt. especially the albino and deaf girls..... rrrowf!

    I'd be surprised if none of them ever got married or don't have kids right now. :3

    Then please add a little more context to flippant remarks like that.

    Not only are you putting down the game in question (which is very well done in my opinion), but you're putting down everyone else using this site by assuming that none of us "believe in the radical notion that women are people too".

    I believe women are people; more often then not, extremely self-centered, illogical emotion-based creatures; But people none the less.

    I'd have to ask, have you even tried to play the game yet? I'll have to admit that I was originally extremely sceptical about the game based on the premise, but thought that it might be worth a try. And on trying it out, I'm honestly very impressed by the quality of the writing and the characters portrayed, as well as the characterisation of the girls. The set up is reasonable and speaking as a person who has disabled relatives as well as who was close to several disabled athletes, one who is in the same situation as the girl in game, I found that it's written in such a way as to be realistic and not patronising towards the girls.

    Straight from katawa-shoujo's IRC channel - it's a secret. You'll find out later in the game during Shizune's arc.

    It seems she's just Shizune's interpreter, though she does have a weird behaviour. I haven't finished the demo yet but I think if she has a disability it won't be revealed unless you take her route.

    personally after having played many many bishoujo games i don't find this one disturbing at all. in a way it is reminicent of kana in that it seems story driven. and we have certainly seen weak main characters before in "i'm gonna serve you 4" and "private nurse". as for being offensive, bible black, discipline, tsuki, water closet, sensei 2 well the list of games that have been translated into english that are way more fetish orriented than this one is long i can only imagine how many exist in japan.

    Ya I'm only up to the introduction to the class part but if what you say is true about story focused then this game should be pretty good. I mean what kind of heavy fetish is there for disabled people anyways? Plus I love the anime references in the art, that's all I'm saying.

    I've tried this and I have to say I'm impressed. The story is quite good and the reason why the protagonist gets in a new school is a good change from the generic formula.

    The girls have very interesting personalities and it shows very well in the dialogues. I don't know how generic they are since I don't play much eroge, but this is very good for a free product.

    My favourite so far is Rin Tezuka, although all of them have their own charm.

    I would play this even if there was no adult stuff.

    4chan has NOTHING to do with Katawa Shoujo.

    They simply started publishing pictures and artwork on /a/ and it got sticked for a while, that's all. They got a separate website and everything, 4chan was used just for propaganda. Stop giving credits for people that didn't do anything.

    Uh? It was initially brainstormed on /a/ while that sticky was up. Like it or not, 4channers did start the work on it. I don't know how many stayed on til now, but it still is partially 4chan work.

    4channers helped the project? Bad joke, bro.

    Attributing this project to 4chan is the same as saying they're releasing visual novel translation projects because the staff is posting how much is done there. 4chan haven't done shit, if some of their users cooperated with this the credit goes for them and not for the entire board. Don't be silly.

    If it is really a 4chan's product, then it sucks.

    If it is just a doujin game by non-Japanese people, I think it is cool, and hope they don't be pendantic enough to sell their (first) game after it is finished, instead of allowing free download (don't flame me, it's just common sense -- don't advertise all your product as coming from the "internets", being "one of us" and then act unnaccordingly). Only "puritans" or people who want contribute to the project (seeing an Western eroge) would buy it, but that's ridiculous. Just open a donation page, so people can donate directly out of their own free will.

    Quoted from their web site:

    I don't even see a donation button there, now that you mention it.

    This is -exactly- what it is. The development team has little if anything to do with 4chan anymore. The only relation it has to the project is that the project's idea started from a thread on 4chan.

    They would be stupid to try to sell it solely because no one would buy it. Even on the innernets the market is about as big as a kiddie pool, and especially in circles where "Buy? What is this 'b-u-y?'" is the general opinion. All you'd get is a lot of ticked off people.

    This is the sort of thing that should be done for the love of it, and not the money.

    From what I know, supposedly there are no girls in the internets LOL.

    I think it would be too much to ask an eroge making group to make a fujoshi version. Male otaku are usually very adverse to anything related to bishounen, BL or yaoi.

    If a group of girls wants to try and make a reverse harem eroge that's fine though.

    After finishing 100% of the demo, I realized that the dialogue from that scene (not gonna put up any spoilers here) doesn't mesh well with what came after. Those of you who've done it will know what I mean.... (hint: Misha playing Twenty Questions. That's all I'll say...)

    I played through it and it's pretty solid. My favorite is Rin. Though i kinda wish the pink haired girl was an option because she's got a really cute demeanor. I'm surprised they past up her if it was made by the japanese which im sure it was. Not one hundred percent though lmao. I mean they coulda given her an internal problem like his and she coulda been one of the tragic routs. You know how the japanese love their bad endings and all.

    I haven't finished the demo yet, but from what I'm hearing, I'm far enough in to get my impressions of whats to come straight.

    I am loving this game, the art is amazingly professional in comparison to some other games, the code in Ren'Py is sharp and very well done, the music is original and very easy on the ears, and the story, don't get me started, the story is probably the biggest plus for me because it's so very well written, the characters are pretty rounded and the plot is rather easy to get sucked into, I am really, really looking forward to seeing the final product.

    Also, Shizune is mai waifu.

    Same here, Kageryu. It may not have been done by a so-called 'professional' studio, but it was still really well done. The interactions between characters is interesting enough too. Like the rivalries and bitter emnities (Shizune-Lily, for example) that I'll definitely pick the full version of this up. H or non-H, it's simply something you can put down, but with a measure of reluctance.

    So far.... loving it.

    and....

    Just finished the demo. This is really great. I can only assume that the lack of crossroads is due in part to this really being an intro, but eh. What can you do?

    Regardless, I was really shocked by this. When I thought "4chan" and "disabled girls", all sorts of terrible visions danced through my head. However, despite my apprehension, I soon found myself absolutely enthralled with this game. It's tasteful, it's cute and you can't help but get attached to the characters.

    I was so in to this game that I was actually saddened to see the demo end, especially considering that I really liked Emi and was looking forward to the next morning's exercise routine. I was even looking forward to more character development involving Hanako.

    Regardless, this is a great game. Play the demo. I'll be over here, waiting eagerly for the full release.

    Actually beat the game just now (took almost 2h) and it's pretty decent. It had a good story and overall and actually made me laugh a couple of times since some parts felt really 4chan inspirated (Kenji). One negative aspect was the lack of crossroads. You didn't get many chances, to make your own choices in the game. Still a really great game that I hope will see a finished release later on. If I still got time then, I most cetainly will try out the full game!

    Keep up the good work

    Downloaded it to try, frustratingly enough you can't rape anyone within 2 minutes of starting. Clearly they haven't been playing enough authentic eroge...

    Isn't the blond girl in the first pic supposed to be blind? The way she stares at you (the player) looks rather unconvincing, blind people usually just blankly stare on empty spaces..

    They can focus on where the sound comes from, though.

    Yea, but having that blind girl with her pupils ogling at you seemed unnatural.

    But blindness is all the damage inside the eye/link to the brain.

    I'm not saying being blind makes someone unable to move their eyeballs, of course. It's just that they usually don't oggle their eyes around to find and focus on something they're talking/listening to, instead, they just keep their eyes (or even head) on fixed position and continue listening..

    And if you ask me why i'm taking this too seriously, it's because girls with blank stares on their faces look MOE and really turns me on...

    Lol, there was a documentation about the founding of Israel on German TV just now and I don't know what I find more disturbing, that or those crippled bishoujos. What a Nazi I am.
