Plot—-
Story is well planned out and thought about. A guy who transfers to a school for the disabled. There he befriends various disabled girls ranging from missing arms, to blindness, deaf, bipolarity and scarred/anxious. Depending on the choices the player makes the character will then fall in love with one of the girls. Characters all have a surprising amounts of depth and the game really tries to make you see and understand the struggles the girls go through. The characters themselves are enough to make you want to replay and meet them all over again. The game is very original in that it takes a guy who is somewhat normal who falls in love with a certain disabled girl, he sees and supports her through her endeavors. The game takes itself quite seriously although there are some funny moments. It’s actually hard to not tak e it seriously. For many gamers, they come for the adult scenes but they stay for the story and feels. Length is great, in fact the story is so good you will be wishing it didn’t end or had a sequel to continue the story and seeing how each girl will live in the future with the main character.

Presentation—–
The visuals are great done in a typical anime fashion but on top of that there are the occasional animations making it feel like a real anime show of some sort. Beautifully done. The music is top notch, great to listen to and fits extremely well with the events happening on screen. Sound FX are good not annoying at all which is great. Pacing is good although sometimes it feels stretched out

Mechanics——
Visual Novel so it’s extremely easy to use. Combined with having an excellent story have having each choice play out somewhat differently and even get various different endings as well as the enjoyable and amazing characters makes this game’s replayability really high.

Me falta completar algunas rutas, pero lo cierto es que el juego se sostiene bastante bien en casi todos los apartados teniendo en cuenta que fue hecho con 2 mangos y por gente de 4Chan. Sigue sin ser la gran cosa btw. Como todavía no terminé el juego en su totalidad voy a ir actualizando mi opinión sobre las rutas en los puntos positivos y negativos acá abajo.

Made by random people from totally different countries, time zones and continents; based of an original idea posted in 4chan; and not only free to play, but with any option to donate any money to them if you want, someone can only expect the worse: To find a crappy game, random sex scenes and situations and/or dialogue that if you laugh at them you could get a free spot to hell.

However, Katawa Shoujo isn’t anything like that. THANK-FUCKING-FULLY.

This game is not perfect. However, considering that is free and amateur, makes this top-notch. With beautiful scenearios, many, varied and detailed CGs and a really small but excellent soundtrack, Katawa Shoujo is a work that the people in 4leaf studios put many hours of work. And it shows.

The art and the story is really great, however, you will need to read a lot and take this game very seriously. Something hard to do, giving its premise and the amounts of text it has, compared with the little choices you can get, especially in certain routes (it could be worse though, there are visual novels with way more text), maybe. But it pays, so no worries.
I would extend more, but I don’t want to overhype you or spoil you. So download it, run the game, and let the music of the main title play for a while. It is really good for atmosphere.

Conclusion: In conclusion, play as gigoló as possible. You should aim for a crippled harem ending. Really! Those girls really need a guy to guide them and protect them from other guys that want to fuck them.
I promise that it won’t backfire you at all.
