VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Katawa Shoujo [Final] [Four Leaf Studios]

Quite simply the best VA ever made. You will laugh, you will cry, you will ( probably ) fall in love with at least one of the girls.
And the best part is that each girl has a fleshed out story, and it's up to YOU to see if you get the good or bad ending...and man, the bad endings are BAD. They will gut you, they will destroy your heart and leave you hollow.
But they are so worth it, because these characters are amazing.

One of the best VNs out there, definitely worth checking out.
Art is great, Story is amazing, Characters are incredibly likeable (Main Char is a dumbass at times) and of course the H-Scenes are quality.

10/10, would cry myself into a coma again

I've played Katawa Shoujo since the official version first came out and find myself returning to it every once in a while. It's one of those visual novels I can't bring myself to delete from my computer.

amazing game with lots of endings, endless content, characters full of personality and an emotional story. came for a nut stayed for a life changing sob story about disabled girls. overall one of the best visual novels i've ever played, 5/5.

This game got me into playing VN's and was my favourite then and will forever be my favourite till the day I die. This game truly has impacted me in such a way that I will remember the rest of my life. The characters in this game almost feel like real friends, no other game or show has ever made me feel that way.

I first found this title from a forum discussion, gave it a try back then and was surprised by it's complexity and how well developed each character is.

Needless to say i enjoyed everything in this title, anime art-style, sound effects, plot development, character development, story complexity, comedy, drama, surprise, well expect a certain scene though in retrospect it just proves how well made it is.

Came for a game, replayed for a heartfelt story and wonderful writing, just over all a terrific experience. Played thru for every character ending and enjoyed them all. Enjoyed the stories for each girl and the supporting cast, Cannot give this game high enough praise.

If you're younger 20 or younger you'll really enjoy this. If you're approaching your 30s it's probably not gonna be your cup of tea. I played it when I was 15 and going nowhere fast. The game does an exceptional job at grounding it world and making you believe in it very quickly. The MC isn't a giga chad with a lot of personal agency in the story- especially early on into most routes- but he's also not a cardboard cutout for you to project yourself onto, which I like a lot more than the alternative. I'd recommend you go in blind. A lot of the choices aren't obvious so if you're gunning for a certain result you might fall short, but as someone who 100% I believe it's part of the experience. I could keep going on forever but I'm sure I've hit the char limit by now. One last thing I will comment on: The soundtrack for this game is amazing. If you don't love it at first give it a chance, it would grow on you like mold and never come off.

ok im surprised to see this game on here. This game made me fall in love with one of the heroines a bit where most games fail. It is does have sexual content but it is not the center of attention. It has multiple heroines to pick from. A story that can hook you and will actually care about.

I remember when I gave this game a second try I got hooked onto the story. it ended up making my heart clench when I first played it which was years ago and I will never forget it. I stood awake trying to finish it before falling asleep as I was I was so enthralled but failed and had to wake up early to finish it.

This game takes awhile to warm up so don't expect it to hook you right out of the gate. 5/5 would play again and pick another girl if it didn't feel like cheating in my heart.

An absolute classic. Amazing art work, stories that brings a tear to your eye, characters that actually are not perfect and feel human. A good cross between a visual novel and dating sim. (and yes, it is school based) that also includes chronic ill people.
Well worth playing and replaying.

Played this several years ago, now very glad to play it again. Beautiful music, storyline, art, characters, literally everything. Will make you cry like a bitch in both the good endings, neutral endings, and bad endings. I know most games here are lewd, and while this one does have sex scenes, it is first and foremost a lovely dating sim focusing on disabled girls. Hisao, the main character, isn't a self-insert. He has a personality, so I guess be warned of that if it turns you off.

My first VN and this review is probably biased but i can't recommend it enough to play it. I started playing as a joke because it came from 4chan but after a few minutes I got sucked in the story and couldn't stop playing.

The story is amazing and the characters are incredible. Sometimes the writing is a bit iffy but everything else makes up for it.

There is no harem which is great because it can focus on 1 character you chose.

You aren't their knight in shining armor, waiting for you to rescue from their troubles. They have lived their lives without you so far and can continue to do so. They are able to solve their own problems and sometimes your troubles are bigger than theirs.

You are a just a random guy who has an opportunity to hit it off with one of the girls and see how it plays out.

There are only a few sex scenes that aren't the main focus which is probably not what you are looking for on this site. But i just want to say try playing for 5-10 minutes or so to see if it's something for you.

One of the earliest smut VNs I ever played, and one that stuck with me for a long time. A beautiful story, even discounting the beautiful H scenes. All five girls have paths that are at least 'good', with even the path I personally enjoyed least having enough to keep my interest all the way 'til the end.

10/10, would recommend.

The best VN I've ever played, and I've played quite a few. All routes are phenomenal thanks to incredible writing. My fav being Emi, Hanako and the best Lily. I don't know if any other game caused such emotions for me. It's kind of a life changing experience.

However be warned its not a lewd game - its much more about emotions, clever writing and connection with characters than sex with the girls. It is there but playing this for sex scenes would be like using Mona Lisa for a carpet.

On the scale of 1-10 (where 1 is trash, 5 average and 10 masterpiece) I would give it a 10. It has some average graphics and some plots are less interesting etc, but the overall value of the game is that good that it raises above all the flaws into a masterpiece I will not easily forget.

I cried. Every route. Still, I'm happy I accidentally found this game ^_^

+ Marvellous atmosphere created by both visuals and music
+ Touching stories and personalities of all girls.
- (Nothing)

Don't rush it, please!

The best written VN I have played. This game lowkey changed my life (for the better ofcourse) when I first played it a few years ago,
I absolutely cannot recommend it enough to anyone that's into or not into visual novels.

The VN that dared to go where most devs won't.

Actually featuring LIs with disabilities without blatantly fetishizing them.

Cute, funny, touching.

Perfection.

Wish more games would feature love interests that aren't totally flawless supermodel types.

I don't care for the title of the game. I've seen it translated as "Cripple girls" which is gross, (the word Crippled is offensive as fuck) but I've also seen it called "Disability girls" which, while still a bit too on the nose for such an artistic and beautiful game, is at least, ya know, not as bad.

Regardless, this is a 5* VN and a must play, imo.

Played this last year and really enjoyed it. This is probably my favorite VN that I have ever played. It has a very emotion driven story that just sucks you in and does not let you go through all of the paths. I highly recommend this one.

A masterpiece. Like many people, I rolled my eyes when I heard bunch of dudes from 4chan are making visual novel about girls with disability and again, like many of em, I was so happy to be proven wrong. This is not just stories about girls and their disabilities, but also the psychological effect that came with it. Different route also means different approach from Hisao regarding his heart problems. 10/10 I wish I can forget & experience this all over again

v1.3.1 (Final)

I was really grabbed by the premise of the game, and hopeful that it would humanize individuals with disabilities. As it is, it does seem to do that pretty well, but I found the writing to be really uneven. Some scenes are well written, others just meander and don't really go anywhere. Especially the terrible, terrible Kenji scenes. Even though I liked some of the characters I felt like I was fighting through some really iffy writing to get to the parts that would pay off for the characters I enjoyed.
