Seriously wish I could just skip all of the bloody intro, it's so tediously boring having read it all five or so times before this game came to fruition...
Does anyone have a save data for the first choice before you start going onto someone's route?


Went back to Sharin no Kuni - Himawari no Shoujo because Ririko and G-Senjou no Maou because Haru.

You want?
Done Emi's ending. Pretty sad shit that Emi chased you out but it ended up well. Or I didn't get a good ending? ;~;

Did you get the cemetery scene?
If so then I think you got the good end.

press ctrl to skip seen text. it stops at the next new line, or a choice (regarless of if youve done the choice already)


Also, I have concluded that Lilly's route is the best one storytelling wise, as well as how its organized. Beautiful ending and great epilogue.

rin is still the best character and a very good route

Well I have to agree that so far, Lily's route is the one that affected me the most.
Going to try Rin's and Hanako's soon.

Do Hanako's first before Rin ;~;
I had to agree on Lily's route as well, plus her blonde + wavy hair is just too awesome

I'm on Lilly's route now.
She's really pretty, after I thought about for a bit.
They're all pretty and cute ;A;

You have my sympathy.

Can't stand Lilly for some reason.

Why?
Do you hate proper people? I haven't gone too far in her route yet, but I really like that sort of personality.

Oh god, this game is amazing (and making me ~100% less productive this week) ;_;
Got Hanako's good ending on my first play, wanted to do Emi's route next but ultimately ended up playing Hanako's again because leaving her alone felt horrible u.u
Not that I regret it, out of all the routes I've completed so far it's definitely the one that touched me the most - still need to do Lilly's though.
It's only the beginning of the year but I can already tell that this is going to be one of the most memorable games of 2012 for me.

Well after years of waiting I can't believe it's finally over. I was planning to explain how I feel about KS in length, but I cba and nobody really cares~. Every praise for it that can be said has. It was fun while it lasted and overall good despite a few minor issues. It gets a 9/10 in my book.

Oh and of course the dreaded rankings:
SPOILER
Based on the girl: Lilly > Emi > Hanako > Rin > Shizune
Based on the route/plot: Rin > Lilly > Hanako > Emi > Shizune
Overall: Lilly > Rin > Hanako > Emi > Shizune (Sorry Shizune fans. What could have been.)
I certainly hope 4LS decides to make another VN. If it is anything like the ride KS has been, it would be well worth it. As for me, back to reading LB! I guess...

Finally got the time to play KS again. Sped through Lily's route, got a bad ending again.
Ok that's it, where's the page with that walkthrough

EDIT: Oh. I need to to be completely honest with her, even on the letter. Gah. It sounded so obviously dumb to talk about such an issue.

Finished all routes. Would give a 10, but lack of eroscenes (they felt too short imho) and voice makes me feel that the game was pretty flat. Luckily the plot is awesome enough to score me a 9.

i heard the writer of Hanako's route is going to continue, offering his help as a Co-writer for certain other projects.
I for one, hope he gains the means to write once more.

And a fan-made alternative Shizune Plot is going to be made, but i think it'll fall apart, or be badly written as well.

Finally done with all the endings, gonna give the game a 10/10 even though Shizune's route was kinda... well...
orz
And the character had so much potential as well =/
My personal opinion on the different routes would be Hanako > Rin > Lilly > Emi > Shizune

[quote="http://theglobaldaily.net/010412.html":6e8b3]A community is in shock as last night local student Ryan Dunham convinced a friend to hack off his arms. The 16 year old was inspired by a video game called 'Katawa Shoujo', which translates as 'Deformed Girls'.

Dunham's friend (name withheld by request) used a large woodcutting axe to deliver the blows and intended to sever both arms but panicked and called an ambulance after nearly severing Ryan's right arm. Ryan had knocked himself out by consuming a large quantity of alcohol earlier in the night, but he left a message on his computer explaining the reasons behind his choice and telling his parents that his friend was not to blame.

The way he tried to disarm himself didn't even match what happened in the game to Rin IIRC.

Edit:
Katawa Shoujo is a 'visual novel', a new style of video game popular in Japan where a player reads the action instead of plays it. The game has caused quite a splash online after finally being released, it was in development for 5 years. The game was created by a group of amateur game designers and is available to anyone free of charge, regardless of age. This follows the controversy over another visual novel called 'Rapelay' which Taina Bien-Aime, Executive Director of Equality Now, called "An abomination," continuing to say "These type of games have no place in our society, we are working with community leaders and government to stop the spread of toxic games like Disability Girls (Katawa Shoujo)".

I wasn't going to post here anymore, but you're all really dumb and I have to let you know how dumb you are.
theglobaldaily.net is a satire site. As in the article is a joke and did not really happen. If you didn't notice every single link on the site links to skiphopz, another satire site. Kotaku even pointed this out a couple of days ago. That this was fake. Seriously, you guys, are you that dumb yourselves?
Also, Ryan Dunham's name generally wouldn't be released if this were a real report as he is a minor.

Finished reading all the good endings for KS.
Shizune's route was ... yeah, disappointing (I don't hate it, but yeah...). Thankfully I went through Lilly's route next which was a surprisingly good choice and probably my favourite of the routes. Rin's made me feel slightly depressed the whole time even after the ending (which didn't make me feel happy at all...) Hanako and Emi's routes were... good if you're into that sort of thing, they didn't really click with me, but lemons... heh butt lemons.

SPOILER
Back to Katawa Crash for another 100 hours.

I just finished my very first road ever on any VN. Surprisingly it was on KS, Hanako. Now I can't bring myself to do the others.. ;3;

They're called 'routes' not roads.

In other news:
I'm going through Osananajimi no Daitoryo again; finishing up Little Busters and finishing Symphonic Rain (finally).

i finally caught up reading up half of the thread.
honestly katawa shoujo should have its own thread (if it does already have one, forgive me i'm not exactly in the position to search other thread with ease).

seems like a good game though, i just need someone to hype me up.
