"Katawa Shoujo is a bishoujo-style visual novel set in the fictional Yamaku High School for disabled children, located somewhere in modern Japan. Hisao Nakai, a normal boy living a normal life, has his life turned upside down when a congenital heart defect forces him to move to a new school after a long hospitalization. Despite his difficulties, Hisao is able to find friends—and perhaps love, if he plays his cards right. There are five main paths corresponding to the 5 main female characters, each path following the storyline pertaining to that character."

"Despite the premise, though, the entire subject is handled very tastefully ([片輪] "katawa" is actually a Japanese euphemism meaning "imperfect" or literally, "one wheel"), and the characters manage to break free not only from any stereotypes associated with their disabilities, but also from many of the typical Dating Sim cliches, resulting in a surprisingly well-written tale."

Ah, Anonymous...

I have to say this really isn't my cup of tea, but kudos to the people who worked on it for realizing their dream... no matter how strange a dream it might seem.

The games is actually better than it sounds. See the entry on TVTropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KatawaShoujo) for some details.

It's really ironic. Some guys from---of all places---4chan wrote and animated it, but you won't find any tentacles.

Well... /a/ and /d/ are two different places...

Anyway, I should not read so much TVTropes.

I played act 1 version 4 was alright for a beginning but there is to be an adult version released but cannot find it, or is there a code to unlock it on the link you gave

The official game site says a full release is tbd. I can't wait to see where they go with it as I enjoyed playing.

really good game, wonderful plot.
waiting for a full release
but it's hard to call it a sim-date actually

can't play it because all the links are broken

is there any sex in this game?

Nudity: Kinda. Sex: Not-Yet-Implemented?

This game is really different from usual story !

I really really enjoy this first part even there is no sex nor even nudity. Maybie in futur part !

This game is really well done: good graphic, very good story, no bug, translated in 3 or 4 diffrents languages !

the game is open and fully operational......this game is very well writen and takes hours to complete. I fully recomend this to everyone.

Indeed, one of the best (if not the best) VN I've played!!

I don't have any handicap (except my glasses perhaps...) but I'm totally driven into the relationships between each character : completed Hanako & Lilly so far, it was very moving.

Actually doing Shizune's path : as interesting and touching that the others so far.

A must play really and please READ, don't skip text.

Yeah, this is probably one of the better VN's I've ever seen. I've finished Emi's path, trying to figure out how to do the others (maybe Save before dialogue options?).

But yeah, it's very rare that I'm actually immersed within something like this, but the Emi path hit close to home, not so much because of the disabilities or the circumstances, but just the general feelings.
