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, who has had a congenital heart disorder diagnosed just a few months ago, finds his life turned upside down when he moves to a new town and school after a long hospitalization. Despite his difficulties, Hisao is able to find friends and eventually have romantic relationships with one of five main female characters.

I don't even know what to think.

If it make you feel better, is from 4chan.

WHAT. There's a demo!? I can't believe this hasn't died. It's been sitting in limbo for god knows how many years.

Also, it IS being made by people from 4chan but the concept did not originate there.

Disabled moe

No mental disability? Well, I guess it would be hard to date that kind of person without, ah, it looking slightly wrong.

Still, it's an interesting concept but I'm usually quite bored by the dating sims.

I'm in the credits, lol.

I guess I should play it for this reason.

Agreed, although I should... I had forgotten all about this. I guess I'll give that demo a try, for fun and science.

Cut by Moogy: That's a good enough reason.

Unless I misread or remember it wrong about the comments, the people who decide to make it got the idea after they saw a few random similar sketches in 4chan.

It seem like a good game though.

Original concept here. This page is translated but it is Japanese in origin. It's a couple years old; as far as I know a bunch of people on /a/ decided FUCK IT WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS THING. Apparently after a Duke Nukem Forever-esque early development starting in 2005 or so(?) they're finally cranking the thing out.

The characters designs are quite faithful to the comments on the original concept sheet, though appearances have changed a bit.

And yeah I'm loving this thing, need to try some of the other routes.

Oh god I REMEMBER THIS.

I fell in love with it immediately, I'm pumped up for a final version!!

To think I just downloaded this because Anon once mentioned something on a disabled girls game that is supposedly 'emotionally intense storyline' and 'wide variety of non-archetype characters in play'. I feel cheated, yet I cannot disagree, this could very well be something akin to a genius by product off imageboards and etc.

I am amazed that people on boards and such can come up with such fantastic platforms of united effort, in this case, a game featuring disabled girls on a dating sim.

I wonder what would happen if I introduce this game to the disabled at the local YMCA or help centres?

shinyjam · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2009, 01:56:33 AM »

Don't remind me to my massive failure at my first try... ^^'
The second try went better, though

Congratulations guys, /jp/ is now daily Kawata Shoujo "Hey Anon, have a nice day" threads.

Why does people like amputee so much?

I like Scar-tan no doubt, but why....?!

Stuffman · « **Reply #19 on:** May 08, 2009, 10:57:56 PM »

Ffff anyone know how to get Rin? I can't seem to peel her off Emi or Lilly when she shows up in their routes, done two runs to no avail. I'll probably figure it out tonight but if anyone wants to save me (and anyone else who doesn't know) some time that'd be nice.

Apotheosis · « **Reply #20 on:** May 09, 2009, 06:33:40 AM »

Playing this game is like reading the Devil's Bible, or holding a canister of Ebola virus. You don't want to believe it exists, but you hold in your hands incontrovertible proof of its existence.

I think I missed a Hanako event. :<

Apotheosis · « **Reply #21 on:** May 09, 2009, 11:26:45 PM »

Hate to double post but it's been seventeen hours so bite me.

I think I accidentally got bumped onto the Emi path, unless the whole dietary/exercise plan thing is something that just happens. I don't know how it happened, I was trying for Hanako goddamnit. :<

She's so cute. :c Arms or not.

Shizune: Pick every option related to her and Misha, easy. Don't defend Lilly
Lilly: Defend Lilly, go to town when option comes up, tell her about your condition
Hanako: Avoid Shizune, talk to her, choose library whenever option comes up
Emi: Agree to exercise, race her at the track (you get stuck on her path this way)
Rin: I got this yesterday but I'm still not totally clear on how. You have to run into her in Lilly's route and do the first part of Emi's but not race her.

Pedonymous · « **Reply #24 on:** May 10, 2009, 03:04:19 AM »

The thought of any of them makes me squee!

1. Answer "Yeah, of course" when Muto (yer teach') ask about intro'ing urself
2. Ask about the library to deaf mute miss president (Shizune, via Misha of course) at the cafeteria
3. Go defensive when playing Risk against Shizune (you'll lose the game anyway with either choices though)
4. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you" when you meet Hanako in the library
5. Tell "She was cute" when you meet Kenji (teh hikki)
6. Go talk with Hanako when you get a chance to do so in teh classroom
7. Answer "Maybe" when Mister Nurse asks you to promise him to take good care of your well-being
8. Side with Lilly when she and Shizune gets into an argument. "Hey, cut me and Lilly some slack..."
9. "Sorry, I'm not in really good condition" when Lilly asks about your well-being (Answering teh other will lead to yer bad end which is going into yaoi mode with Kenji)
10. Go to teh library instead of town (Going to town makes you end up with Lilly instead)
11.

??
12. PROFIT!

I targe-- I mean, I planned to choose Lilly on my first attempt and did it!

You can go for Hanako the same way as how I did in the blockquoted list. Just watch for the 10th choice (to decide whether to go to town or the library.

Hope this helps.

in the end, the main character comes upon the realization that he is in fact in the insanity ward

the girls are all figments of his imagination created in the image of friends lone gone

the disabilities they have are remnants of the hate he once harboured towards them for leaving him

but they are created in the image of moemoe girls because he still longs after their companionship, even if they left him for some reason or another

I literally had the exact same though about life in general, that we were all in a drug-induced coma in a mental hospital and the life we were living was just our dream
