Proving that 4chan is good for something (however dubious) other than spawning repetitive memes, the 4chan developed eroge Katawa Shoujo (Cripple Girl, or Disability Girl as they rather misleadingly render it) has had a freely downloadable demo released, covering the initial act.
As the name and source suggests, the game revolves around dating various crippled or hideously disfigured girls.
You can see an introduction to the game, and more CG, in our previous article on the subject.
The official announcement is here, and the download page here.
Via the forums.
It does seem possible that this game may eventually see the light of day… Please feel free to leave your impressions in the comments.
errm….. how do you actually play the file after you download it?
Recently ran a test and so far so good. I’m actually hooked in the story as its my field of interest. If they turn this into a full release, I’m writing a review. I wonder what to expect of the full release though. 😛
i c wut u did thar 4chan
Interesting, although I never thought I’d see the day something relatively elaborate and entertaining got out with the tag ‘made by 4chan’.
I wonder if Raita (the ero-mangaka whose work inspired Katawa Shojo) has seen this yet?
