Verdict: I Like it!Katawa Shoujo is a free Visual Novel by Four Leaf Studios released January 4, 2012. You play as Hisao who has arrhythmia and attends a school for the disabled. If you were looking for a game where the disabled are dealt as helpless victims to perverted fantasies, look no further as you are in for an emotional readjustment. Each of the girls have a blatant disability but you will find the story deals with them quite tastefully. The characters generally have a positive attitude on life with a taste of the darkness of being disabled. As you find their motivations in life coupled with bright energy, it becomes a struggle not to care for them as people. A playthrough will generally lasts 4-5 hours but considering the intro, it may take 15-20hrs to play through completion. If you are new to the genre and an avid "video game completist," you will have to replay the game choosing different paths to unlock all the goodies. Replaying a game is often dreaded by most, but Katawa Shoujo offers a completely new story with every character. You will find that each character's story is fresh and unique. Be warned that once you choose a character at the end of the first chapter, that you will have to play out the rest of the game with her in mind. The game is consistent with their theme and overall the art is very well done. The backgrounds seem to suffer but it is definitely worth the trade-off for the amazing sprite art.There are some animated scenes that look really good throughout the story. Though sparse, it leaves me with the impression that more animated scenes would completely blow the hat out of this game. The soundtrack will infect your brain as you listen to the tracks repeat over and over ... and over. I tend to like the repetition as it reminds me of the retro game days, but audio-snobs may find it annoying. Like the characters themselves, the eroge scenes seem to compliment the personalities of the character. Emi, being a funny girl, will get a more funny eroge scene. A fierce character like Hanako will take it more emotionally and so on. In conclusion, this is a recommended play for anyone considering getting their feet wet in the eroge universe. It's a bit on the soft side, but the art alone validifies the play. Highly Recommended! DSRG -Gerohan
