Katawa shoujo misha route ending full version#
The full version (also free of charge) was finally released January 4th, 2012, on the fifth anniversary of the original 4chan thread that started the game's development. It proved popular and was eventually translated into eight languages (English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Russian and both simplified and traditional Chinese). The game takes place at the fictional Yamaku High School for disabled children, and all the main characters have some sort of disability, including Long QT Syndrome (the hero Hisao).Ī demo of the game, titled "Act 1", was released in May 2009, and covers the entire first Act of the final game, before it branches to paths specific to each girl.
A group of 4chan users instantly took to the concept and began developing the game in earnest, taking care to present the disabilities in a realistic and respectful way. The page showed several girls with disabilities: blindness (Lilly), major burn scars and severe mental/emotional trauma (Hanako), deafness (Shizune), legs amputated below the knee (Emi) and missing arms (Rin). The concept is based entirely on a single-page Omake by doujinshi artist RAITA. "Katawa" is actually a Japanese euphemism meaning "imperfect" or literally, "one wheel" (not a polite word to use, it has about the same connotations as "crippled"). and perhaps love, if he plays his cards right.ĭespite the premise, the entire subject is handled very tastefully and the characters manage to break free not only from any stereotypes associated with their disabilities, but also from many of the typical Dating Sim cliches, resulting in a surprisingly well-written (and often emotional) tale. Despite his difficulties, Hisao is able to find friends. Hisao Nakai, a normal boy living a normal life, has it turned upside down when a congenital heart defect forces him to move to a new school after a long hospitalization. Despite the Japanese setting, it was an English-language only game until it got a Japanese translation in 2015. It's also an Eroge, though there is an option to disable adult content. Katawa Shoujo ( かたわ少女, translated as "Disability Girls") is a Bishoujo Game Visual Novel developed by 4 Leaf Studios using the Ren'py engine and released in 2012.
