Play it on Steam.

First reaction:

'Dude, WTF are you playing?'

The rest, just tell them 'I'm not playing; I'm reading. It's a novel.' After that I just let the rest fall into place

Does Steam detect KS as a game if you add it as a non-steam app?

non-Steam app. It automatically adds that 'Shift+Tab'-thing you have for games so it works pretty well.

Ah, I had no idea Steam overlay would work on this. Do I have to run it fullscreen, I wonder? This is definitely a brilliant way to spread KS.

Given how KS is played in windowed mode I only added it to my Steam list to show people whenever I'm playing it
I can just alt+tab to see my friends list and whatnot.

I just told a friend of mine the reason im doing some exercise right now was coz of a game. He got curious and said "must be one hell of a game to make you do that."

He then tried it. I then said there's a little porn. He's now with Lilly's path.

I haven't mentioned this game to anyone, cuz I don't really talk with anyone these days...
But if I wanted someone to play I would say something like:
"It's like super Mario Bros meets Street fighter, minus Bowser or Hadokens!"

Nah, seriously, the smart approach to this would be to just mention that a guy has a heart problem, almost dies, goes to a school for the disabled and things turn interesting from there.
It might also be wise not to mention the super secret chocolate scene.

I don't think there's any way to really say "there are sex scenes" without immediately conveying the opinion that they're going to be tacked-on and pornographic. Hell, even when they're in regular old movies they're still somewhat pornographic, rarely awkward, and rarely directly useful to the story. So there's a bias there.

I'd honestly just not mention the scenes at all, except in passing... and hell, women's romance novels go into much greater detail than what KS had.

lol

One of my friend just Steamed me today and screamed: "WHAT THE FUCK THERE'S PR0N IN IT YOU SICK BASTARD!! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!!"

Then I reply:
"Do you like the story?"

he said:
"Yes."

Then I reply:
"What about the characters?

he said:
"Yes."

Me:
"H-scene?"

he:
"yes...?"

Me:
"Who's sick-er now? Me for advertising, or you for buying my advertisement and playing it?"

he:
...

now he's reading the thing non-stop. Awesome

I my told my friend on PSN about and then pestered him for about a week, didn't tell him about the hentai part though I think

I don't.

I let them find out about it themselves.
And when they get to Emi's first scene, they steamed me like crazy screaming "WHAT THE HELL MAAAAAAN"

shit like that.

I had the lulz, so I don't care

Well, I accidentally introduce KS to my piano teacher like this (he's a writter, and a bro to me):

Me: Bro, I got this two pieces that I think you should listen, and perhaps I should play them on some recital, if there comes one
Teacher: *listen* They are not bad. Where they come from? *see the sheet* Who is "Katawa Shoujo"?
Me: Haha, no. The pieces are made by this guys over here *points to the names of NicolAmarfi and Blue123*. Katawa Shoujo is where they came from. It's a Visual Novel
Teacher: I think I heard of the Visual Novels before. How are they?
Me: *starts on an awful explanation of Visual Novels*. The plot of this VN is kinda different to anothers
Teacher: What does Katawa Shoujo means?
Me: Disability girls. I was going to that point. It's about a teen guy who has a heart attack and he's been diagnosed by Arrythmia. After that, he has to move to a new school that is mostly for disabled kids. After that, he has to make new friends and, if he play his cards well, he could have a relationship with one of the five girls he meets. The girls have their disabilities: one is a runner that doesn't have legs, another one is an artist that doesn't have arms, the class rep that's deaf, a blind girl and a shy girl who has a several scarring
Teacher: *kinda of an ouch expression*

ohoho, you sick manipulative advertisers...Awesome job though.

I've introduced KS to several people from the internet by basically making jokes about it, mentioning feels and showing pics. People from the internet are way more open-minded though.
