Katawa Shoujo Released

Wow, thanks for the positive response, any worries I had, have been absolved. This community looks good, friendly, better than some I've seen. This was extremely helpful for me, hopefully others with similar feelings.



Good insight, I've yet to conquer the rest of the heroines. I'm glad Hanako's path isn't the norm for the rest.



Thanks, very informative; also I'm glad that there is good things to expect. I'll try my hand at the untranslated one again. No use standing on the edge anymore, time to dive in.



Huh, that's so obvious, why didn't I look at it like that; a visual novel is a novel. I don't know why I was distinguishing them as different. That's good advice, also I'll heed your warning; in preparation, I've constructed a glass cabinet with "In case of violent psychopath tendencies, call therapist," and a phone inside. haha

I just got Emi's good ending, and what a ride it's been for me. This is my first runthrough of a visual novel, so man was I getting the wrong idea of how this whole visual novel structure thing was working out... I would type in all the newbie thoughts I had through the game, but i'll skip the embarassing myself part and just say how I really enjoyed Emi's route... (yeah it's called a route, see i'm just so new to all the terminology) At first, I really enjoyed looking at Shizune...( She was just nice eye candy) and her personality didn't mind me as much, but this game really had me going for Emi... and I mean that in the most literal way. This game was just telling me to go on with Emi like 100% it seemed. Not sure if my earlier choices were hinting towards Emi THAT much, but ohwell guess I wasn't going for Shizune anymore, but hmmm, Emi sure was interesting. I'm sure all the girls are interesting in their own way. But since I haven't went into their respective routes, I can't really tell much at this point. Emi was outgoing, very outgoing towards sex to my surprise but for some reason, Emi kinda seemed like the little sister type of character in an anime. Okay perhaps her height and hairdo have something to do with this assumption, it's pretty obvious I guess. And I didn't find the sex scenes unnecessary, as some may call them, because well, they were adorable. Perhaps this is my novice side speaking. I can't help but feel that I did the easier route first. But that doesn't nag on me too much, since this is my first time playing a visual novel. Perhaps I should go play Shizune or Rin's route next, those should be filled with moe moments... not like Emi wasn't moe or anything.

I feel you dude Emi is so outgoing and adventurous (personality-wise and sexually. They also gave her character such a good sense of humor, I also like how they made her independent. It's actually determined early in the VN if you'll go for Emi, I can't remember the actual scene and I'm not on my own comp to check. But I think it's when you decide to help Hanako to look for Lily.

I was going to go for Rin's route first, but somehow managed to get on Lilly's. I have to say, even though she was not high on my list, as soon as the route progressed, her personality grew on me enormously. Thumbs up and thanks to 4 Leaf, for making such unexpectedly likeable personalities.
