Katawa Shoujo Forums

I downloaded the demo that was released last year on a recommendation from posters from GameFAQs Current Events board. I never got around to even playing it though, and sort of forgot about it until I saw CE talking about the full release. Now I'm obsessed.

Searched for game son tpb and saw katawa shoujo on top 100

Learned about the game the day it came out from the Escapist magazine.

Spared myself from getting killed by anticipation. DX

A fellow basement dweller told me about the game way back when the act1 was released. Joined the forum after i downloaded the full version.

Saw it on /a/, got curious about it when people started telling about how good it actually was, and since I was bored so I decided to check it out.

The first thing i noticed when I downloaded it was that I had played a beta version of it once before, sadly it crashed after a while.

I'm still very happy that I gave this game a chance, this game actually changed my view of life a bit.

I'd like to say I found the game by being told about it by a friend on facebook. That would be a lie. I actually found it by randomly visiting the rule 34 image website thing, and the featured picture of the day was a Katawa Shoujo one. It intrigued me, and my life will never be the same.

I saw a video on youtube mentioning Katawa Shoujo. decided to do a bit of research. and found the game. downloaded the full version and after completing emi's route i joined the chat. after joining the chat i joined the forum. so thats that

It was a long process, but...

1. Clannad anime
2. Episode 24 was actually epic in comparison to episode 1-23 combined
3. So it was Tomoyo route.
4. googled for more info
5. oh, so it's a VN.
6. Hongfire
7. The world of VNs

^ that "guest" is actually me. didn't noticed that I haven't logged in yet.

Same place as all other great stuff I find; TV Tropes. Was looking for some freeware VN and this one caught my eye the most. Demo helped a lot at that .

I wanna say word of mouth or looking at the art the inspired the game on Danbooru, it's one of those two.

I first found out about KS almost 2 weeks ago from some guy posting a link to the first act on the "Demotivational Posters!" thread on amvhell.com. Downloaded the link so I could understand his reference to it and never looked back.

I noticed some random facebook link to an article on kotaku about KS. Got interested, read the article, downloaded the game and after that, signed up here

Saw an article on Destructoid back in December about KS, which caught my attention. What made me legitimately want to play it was the way they described it: tastefully done, respectful to the characters and their "problems," etc... Even so, I wasn't expecting to be as taken with it as I was. It turned out to be quite the emotional thrill ride for me.

After I couldn't get Hanako out of my head, I decided the best course would be to sign up on the forums and submit my own epilogue for her story. It helped to take the edge off and get me refocused on my day-to-day. Now I stick around because I'm a complete sap and enjoy talking about manly tears.

"Hold on, an H-game, spawned by 4chan, involving disabled chicks in a japanese high-school setting. Oh man, this is gonna be an UNBELIEVABLE trainwreck!"
