Katawa Shoujo Forums

And how did I end up here?
From here. I wandered onto that page completely by accident too.

Similarly to the previous poster, I first ran across the name "Katawa Shoujo" via TVTropes. Being legally blind myself, I was intrigued by the concept, but was a bit put off by the genre at first (yeah, yeah, will await the hazing over that). I forgot about it for a while, but a few weeks ago I ran across The Asenheim Project while looking for free games (not exactly sure how legit TAP is, so will not link to it), and gave a couple games over there a shot. In particular, Season of the Sakura hooked me on the genre, so I continued digging.

Still looking for free games, I naturally ran across rpgmaker.net, where I landed in the midst of Heartache 101, for which I began creating a custom character (now nearly complete). When I mentioned my legal blindness on the discussion boards, I got labeled a "two-bit Kenji knockoff" by a particular cranky poster. I looked the name Kenji up on Wikipedia, and discovered the connection to this game. Finally put 2+2 together, and downloaded KS a few days ago. It's now officially the best game I've ever played of any genre, and one to which I know I will return repeatedly.

You and me can discuss a lot of things together, my friend...

I have written a few articles for the SCP Foundation site.
While I was in their IRC I came across several people discussing the game for some reason.
One gave a link, and out of interest I followed it, downloaded the game and am now here for all to see.

Mmmmm'yep.

TVTropes is a horrible yet wondrous land simultaneously of nightmares and rainbows.

It all started long ago from the random ED page about VN with cripples. I was thinking that it gonna be a revolting must-see. Then, I was stumbling upon KS pics on russian imageboards from time to time. Then I found out that Act 1 was completed, and got back to ED article to re-read it (without touching Act 1). And then, Jan 4 2012 it happened. I knew that KS was released right away, but I actually waited for 8th jan to start it (I never actually wanted too, but I've seen one or two "my feels after playing Katawa Shoujo" pics, and I wanted to try if it's true. After a week of isolation and sleep deprivation I finished KS. Then I started to participate in KS General threads (which weren't plentiful, some of them are still alive by now), and I came across "Coach to 5k with Emi" pic. I waited for more than a year before I finished KS one more time and decided to give runs a try (this, and my heart ringing alarm bells, that is). Then I googled "running with Emi" and finally ended up here. I've been running for two months before I registered here to chat with you guys a bit.

Wow. That was long and boring.

But you didn't write the line 'Anything I say in red is the truth' which means you were lying about that and you didn't google Katawa Shoujo, or it could all be a ploy to trick us!
We need to go deeper.

Like several others I found Katawa Shoujo itself via TVTropes. That was about two weeks ago. I don't remember which trope page started it, but it was completely by accident. It was also the first VN that I ever finished or even attempted remotely seriously.

I enjoy reading reviews and discussions of everything I read or watch (or play, although I don't really play much these days). So I read lots of reviews all over the web and obviously this place came up immediately. I am not sure I have all that many interesting things to contribute, but I joined because I thought an opportunity to discuss it could be nice. I don't know anyone personally who played it. i brought it up with a few online friends who seemed like they might enjoy that kind of thing, but nobody showed any real interest.

A guy I follow on youtube Linkthe1st did a short review of KS a bout a year ago, and I had always been interested in VN's so I just looked up the website downloaded the game (And sound track) and now I'm here with this crazy little community.

Thanks. Generally they are good people (that's how I prefer my friends), but they really let me down there.
