Katawa Shoujo: Act 1

See anything suspicious? Because I do. Hanako (one of tmfc) is there, covering something.

Dolly (Doll Judgement) introduced me to KS: Act 1. I started playing it like yesterday and finished it before I went to bed. First VN that I ever played o_____o Wasn't so bad, seriously.

The game is pretty much about you as Hisao Nakai. The main heroine/male character of the visual novel. In the beginning of Katawa Shoujo, you're outside in the snow and you're waiting for some girl. The girl finally comes and they start talking and blah blah blah. Then your heart starts feeling strange, and you later just end up in the dang hospital. The doctor is talking with your parents about medicine, how much you have to take it, and... transfer to a weird school? Yes I said it. Transfer to a school.

You have some sort of heart disease and you were forced to transfer to another school for people with strange and well-known diseases/problems. Or should I say, disabled children? o_O  Hisao is like other heriones, like Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, or even Tomoya Okazaki from CLANNAD.

You're like... well how should I describe or say this? A sarcastic guy. You're normal, sometimes calm, and sometimes sweet. Yeah, you're that kind of guy. While you play as Hisao in Act 1, you get to talk to the main characters of the game, and maybe even the supporting characters. Sometimes they would let you pick decisions in the game, but not much, really.

It's basically a VN where you just talk your mouth off where there's too much information and lots and lots of dialogue! But like I said, Katawa Shoujo isn't so bad for a visual novel. If I played the 18+ one (Hentai included version/Full game) when it's out, then I would be so happy and review some more. But unfortunately, I don't have much to say about it now.

A B O U T KATAWA-SHOUJO
