Katawa Shoujo is a visual novel set in a private school for people with disabilities. As the main character Hisao, learning to deal with a newly discovered heart condition, you interact with (mostly) females with varying “disabilities” – from blindness to disfigurment. Surprisingly, the story unfolded in the game is not nearly as ridiculous as the premise suggests it might be.

The game began life as a single omake page in a doujinshi. A fan translated and colored the page, posting it on 4chan. Talk of making the imaginary visual novel game described on the page a reality began. Two years later an incredibly polished and professional looking first act is released.

No H-scenes in Act 1 but the dev team assures fans they will be present later in the game. I’m hoping for a threesome between the main character, the deaf girl Shizune, and her hyperactive sign language interpreter Misha.
