Re: Lilly's Route

I played through Emi's route first, and was absolutely blown away by it, and fully intend to play it through multiple times in the future. After that I played Shizune's route. I thought it was good, and am glad that I played it (even if the general feeling I got from Emi was of happiness and optimis...

Re: Which is the saddest ending?

I've only played through Shizune, Lilly and Emi's paths so far. Emi's and Lilly's neutral endings (Emi's 'bad' ending seems more neutral to me, in that she and Hisao end up parting on 'good' terms, neither of them are emotioinal wrecks etc etc ). But Emi's neutral ending made me really upset because...

Re: LILLYS ENDING MAN

Oh hell. I'm a guy, and I'm not ashamed to say that I've been crying for about the last half hour straight, ever since Lilly told Hisao she'd be going back to Scotland I was just "Ah damnshit, I was trying to get the good ending HOW I GO WRONG???" I had tears streaming down my face when sh...

Game crashes

Just an FYI, when mousewheel scrolling backwards to read previous posts, the game crashes if you go too far back. You do need to go quite a few back, but I was wanting to re-read a particularly interesting and important scene, and before I got back to the start of it I hit the ceiling for going back...

Re: Am I the only one that enjoyed Shizune's route?

I didn't enjoy Shizune's route at first, and it took me a day or so of mediation on it before I could appreciate it. I see KS as a teen love story, albeit one set in a disabled school. But still, young love story. I had just come off Emi's route, which IS that stereotype down to the ground, and is a...

Re: How'd you find yourself here?

I kept hearing info about it just prior to it coming out (after all, a game where you get to date crippled people? Kinda hit the news hard), and it entered my awareness, but only as a "Oh, it exists". Then about half a week after it came out, I had a particularly boring afternoon, and whil...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

This thread is totally awesome. I walk quite a lot, and am thin with a decent amount of muscle mass, but my stamina is terrible and I don't do any short-sharp-shock type activities (tennis, football etc, as opposed to walking which is different IMHO). After reading the Emi arc, I was inspired to sta...

Re: Hanako RAGE Picture on Meme Generator[Oh Hai SPOILERS]

Wow the edit of the title does literally nothing to change the fact that THE TITLE HAS SPOILERS IN IT tbh, I haven't played the Hanako arc yet, and from looking at the picture I just assumed that at some point in her arc, she gets mad at you. It's only because people keep going haywire over YOU SHO...

Re: Shizune's path

I finished Shizune's path either yesterday or the day before (time hazing ftl?) and almost immediately came on here and wrote quite a negative review of it. Having had a day to ruminate on the path, I'd now like to take back a large amount of what I said. I guess a big problem was that the game was ...

Congratulations on an extremely well polished game.

Firstly, I'd like to say that I've never played a game of this type before. I'd heard about Katawa Shoujo over the last couple months through the grapevines (hey, it's getting quite a bit of press for being about a touchy subject), but still thought no more of it. Then yesterday, I was feeling bored...

Re: First Time- Getting to involved - what do you think?

I'm in a similar boat in that this is my first VN as well - I also hadn't considered them before but was interested by the hype surrounding KS and downloaded it on impulse. However, I come from a gamer background and saw this as a game, choose your own ending etc, a fact supported by Act 1. However ...

Re: Katawa Shoujo full flowchart

Minor error, but between Event Horizon and Home Field Advantage on Act 1, the > arrow is going the wrong way ("If Training < 1") Also, last time I played through Act 1 I was playing Shizune's path (but not following the flow chart) and I Took It Easy when running with Emi, and avoided the ...

Character's personal mottos

I read somewhere that all the characters have personal mottos, ie. Rin's is "Do what you can't because you can".

I can't remember the other ones though.. anyone able to oblige?

Re: Has anyone else appreciated the music this much?

I agree as well. I'm normally notorious for not listening to music during films, games etc, and won't be able to tell you what the music was like after watching/playing it, but perhaps because KS has no audio apart from the music, I really really enjoyed listening to it, and often play the soundtrac...

Re: 1st path choosen??

I didn't know much about KS before downloading it, but while downloading I browsed the character info details on the website, and figured I'd want to play Shizune/Hanako as priorities, and Lilly as secondary. I wasn't too fussed about Emi or Rin. Act 1 retained my initial thoughts of the characters,...
