You tell it, they will not play the game. And you will be scolded anyway.

It's an anime style "choose your own path" love story about a boy who develops aheart condition who's sent to a school for disabled teens.Steinherz wrote:EXACTLY MY POINT!TheVUP wrote:You don't tell it, you will be scolded for not telling them the "truth".Potato wrote:Okay, it's a romance-oriented story with interactive/visual elements and sex scenes.

You gotta take a gamble when it comes to telling someone about Katawa Shoujo.
Fair enough.Steinherz wrote:Honestly, I'd introduce it as "that shitty James Cameron movie where Leonardo DiCaprio drowns for no good reason whatsoever."Potato wrote:Would you introduce Titanic as "a movie about a boat and this couple who fucks on it"?
I think it will more, much more interesting if you introduced it to females who are unused to VNs.Potato wrote:@VUP: Except I would be telling the truth, so they can't scold me for jack.
All things considered, I think the reaction of people unused to VNS and such would be more interesting than just females. Hand KS off to a Halo nut.

See, you did that wrong. Gotta go on the offensive.wazuzu wrote:- It's a visual novel set in school for disabled people.
- Visual novel? Like that anime japanese interactive fiction? Isn't it porn?
- It's not.
- Not a single sex scene?
- Well, to be honest, there are sex scenes, but this is not the point of this game, they aren't emphasized much, and...
- Sex scenes with cripple girls, right?
- Yes.
- You're one of a sickest fucks I ever saw. Get the fuck out. I hope you won't reproduce.

- Whatever… Are there sex scenes?
- Don't be stupid; of course there are sex scenes. How are you going to have a love story without sex?
- Sex scenes with cripple girls, right?
- "Cripple girls"? ಠ_ಠ Not cool.

This. I mean honestly, what modern love story doesn't have a sex scene in it? Its not even worth mentioning as far as I'm concerned.metalangel wrote:You guys just need to tell people it's the story about a guy who finds out he has a heart condition and has to go to a residential school so he can finish high school.
DON'T MENTION CRIPPLE GIRLS OR SEX WITH THEM. Let these people you've decided to share the game with go in knowing nothing and with any luck, they'll be sufficiently invested in Hisao and his sweatervest before them cripple girls show up all crippy n' shit. You know, so that can be the first of many amazing twists they'll get to experience as the story goes...
But then you get into the realm of possibilities wherein the following exchange takes place: "Soooo my friend recommended this anime game and I played it and there's like full-on sex scenes with crippled girls. Dude's into some weird shit. Let's never talk to him again."pandaphil wrote:This. I mean honestly, what modern love story doesn't have a sex scene in it?

Those people should probably get houses then. Or at least laptops, so they can play KS.wazuzu wrote:there are people in the streets.
How do you play KS on a house? I can't force mine even to boot up.Potato wrote:Those people should probably get houses then. Or at least laptops, so they can play KS.wazuzu wrote:there are people in the streets.
Pretty much this. You can't get a girl to play KS unless she wants to. And she doesn't.forgetmenot wrote:But then you get into the realm of possibilities wherein the following exchange takes place: "Soooo my friend recommended this anime game and I played it and there's like full-on sex scenes with crippled girls.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of situation. Personally I think the best way to discover KS is on your own. Or recommended by a friend who knows you well enough that you won't be immediately put off by an anal scene with a loli-type legless girl in a track shed.
You're cheating, though. You didn't say how this person got to that state. I would propose that this is impossible, like a Rubik's cube with two sides having the same center-square color.forgetmenot wrote:But then you get into the realm of possibilities wherein the following exchange takes place: "Soooo my friend recommended this anime game and I played it and there's like full-on sex scenes with crippled girls.

Let me throw a phrase at you and let it sink in: romance novels with pictures and music.wazuzu wrote:You can't get a girl to play KS unless she wants to. And she doesn't.
Defeatism.most "normal" people are full of prejudices about disabled people, and there is nothing we (as fans of KS) can do at the first place.
I don't know where you're getting this preposterous idea. Women talk to each other about anything and everything. They're kind of notorious for it.And if most boys have easier time discussing such things with other boys, most (most as in 99.99%) girls don't.
Oh! Exactly! And this is why I always see my female friends around reading some romance novels with pictures and music!Atario wrote:Let me throw a phrase at you and let it sink in: romance novels with pictures and music.
A statement of fact. It's genetically imprinted in our conscience. Broken ones are exiles in most societies.Atario wrote:Defeatism.
