I was in the middle of my 3-day marathon of playing all 5 routes in KS when I took a break and did some surfing. I happened to find the download page still open, and followed the forum link for giggles.

Like some of the others, I downloaded Act 1 a couple of years ago after reading the review on PlayThisThing. I loved it, and checked back in impatiently every couple of months to see how the game was progressing.

At least, that was the plan.

After checking the blog last May, I learned to my astonishment that, not only was the game finished, it had been finished for four and a half months. I still have no idea how I missed it. I must have last checked the blog in November or something, just before the big announcement.

Anyway, I downloaded the game and played through Act 1, getting Lilly without having any particular girl in mind.

Before I could continue playing, I had a ten-day holiday booked, got back at the start of June and basically locked myself inside for a week until I got 100%. Then I created a profile (my first new phpBB profile in about 8 years) and started posting.

'sabout it, really.

I think i was checking out KS things online (After finishing Hanako's route if memory doesn't fail me) When a link to a fanfic (Taxi ride to nowhere) led me here. When i finished reading i noticed the place was a forum and began checking it out. A few months later, i joined.

Kids this is the story of how I meet your mother- Oh what?
Wrong Place?
My Bad.

But any ways I was watching Chilled Chaos' play through of Katawa Shoujo and wanted it.
So I got it.

Then I wanted more info and went here.

Little did I know, forums are a clusterfuck.

I love clusterfucks.

So I made an account and here I am.

I found myself here after JesuOtaku played JewWario's review of this game on a stream a few weeks ago. Watching the review and seeing the reactions and comments in the chat made me really interested so I decided to download it and give it a shot. I do NOT regret that decision at all :D

I discovered the forums shortly after completing the game, more or less. A friend recommended it to me, and I must say, I was hesitant at first, similar to many others. "Cripple porn, really dude?" "Just try it."

And so I did. It turned out to be one of the most meaningful games I've ever played. I needed more. I needed confirmation that other people felt the same way. I proceeded to Google a little, and naturally, I found these forums as well as r/KatawaShoujo.

I lurked the forums for quite some time before deciding it was time to sign up, which was yesterday.

Out of plain boredom I was checking up on one of those 4chan smartasses on his Youtube channel. He's sometimes funny and sometimes he just tries too hard at being snarky and edgy about ridiculing a place that he still seems to regularly visit, even though it's obviously such total shit...yeah...right.

Anyway, he made a vid about KS a few months after its full version came out this year. Probably wanted it to turn out far more snarkier than the way it actually turned out to me - as full of genuine awe.

Got me looking, saw there was a site, saw it was a free download...after 5 years of hard labor? Now this I gotta see...

...aaaand here I am posting.

Ah yes to add to my story to I have arrythmia so I thought it would be interesting to see how Hisao copes with his life.
It turns out he is a pansy.
All the time.
A little bit funny but still a pansy.

YOU HEAR ME HISAO!?
YOU ARE A DISGRACE!

A DISGRACE TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS ARRYTHMIA!

GODDAMMIT THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS STUCK AGAIN.

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED.

BRB I GOT TO GO FIX MY KEYBOARD.
Xanatos I'm Sorry.

Saw a thread about KS on /v/ last year, downloaded the demo, played it, got a waifu. Didn't really start browsing these forums until the end of the year, though.

After completing all of KS I was really interested about the creation of it so I went on the website and found the forums.

If this question is about how I got into KS then that's because of my friend who hates it and told me not to play it not matter what.
I'm ojamamask by the way and it's nice to meet you all :D
