I went into it blind; I heard that it was good, so I looked it up and played it. I don't think I can thoroughly explain how much it changed my perception of those with disabilities (and indeed, my perception of what makes a person a person). My only problem with it is that sometimes what the protagonist does is out of your control and certainly not what you might want to do, but I think that it's intentional because it's very much the same in real life relationships sometimes - what you do is out of control of your most reasonable thoughts, and is certainly not what you want to do, but you do it anyway in the heat of the moment. And then you pick up the pieces. EDIT: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. NONONONO. I DID NOT USE THAT METAPHOR IN THE FIRST SENTENCE. IT'S LIKE THE TIME I ASKED A GIRL'S BLIND UNCLE IF HE COULD SEE THE RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN US. I THOUGHT HE JUST WORE COOL SUNGLASSES AND HAD A CANE.

For the uninitiated, Katawa Shoujo is quite possibly the best Visual Novel known to man. It is... no, I can't do that. I can't describe its feels truly. So I'll try with less formal words. OH MY GOD WHY AREN'T YOU PLAYING IT MY EYEBALLS STILL BURN FROM THE TWO YEAR BREAK I'VE TAKEN FROM IT. Jesus Christ it's good. It makes you into a better person. The premise is that you are Hisao, who gets sent to a school for people with problems that make daily life difficult. There are girls. Five of them for you to fall in love with. Each arc fills your heart with a molten ball of pain that, upon its finishing, expands to make your entire heart into a priceless piece of gold. You will fall in love, and you will cry. There are some NSFW scenes, but you can toggle them off via the options menu. Please, don't deny yourself this amazing experience, people. http://www.katawa-shoujo.com/download.php Full version. Go. NOW. EDIT: After reading Andrew's post above... I think I'm going to go get some exercise.
