Katawa Shoujo (2007) PC

A vivid example of how a free Japanese game can conquer the world audience and make any person without mental abnormalities cry. Like most representatives of the genre, it is produced on the Ren'Py engine. Due to the abundance of erotic scenes, it is not recommended for children to play Katawa Shoujo.

Girls with disabilities

This is approximately how the title of the novel is translated. It will talk about the guy Hisao, who got into a school for the disabled after a heart attack and long-term treatment for heart diseases. The Yamaku School, by the way, is still open in Japan. The boy dreams of meeting his first, not necessarily the only, love and true friends.

Gameplay

A subspecies of the game is called utsuge or "depressive toy" in Russian. The plot classically implies many ramifications, depending on the choice of the gamer in a particular dialogue. Some actions will lead to conflicts with some characters, others will force you to make an enemy in the face of others.

Hisao is surrounded by five peers with no less serious problems than himself.

1. Shizune is deaf and dumb.
2. Shiida or Misha – does not talk normally.
3. Lilly – can't get enough of anything (food, shopping, or bodily relationships).
4. Amy is a legless car crash victim.
5. Lin – has no hands.

Over the course of five chapters, the guy is given the opportunity to prove himself and start a relationship with any of the five possible companions. Then the gameplay concerns the feelings of the characters to each other. As a result, the heroes remain friends and even more or diverge (negative outcome), the guy can also leave this world. It all depends on the choice.

The developers are not just fixated on the sexual relations of minors, they also make it possible to see that disabled people are the same people as everyone else, they also have access to the joys of life.

Some branches of the plot are more tearful, others are pitiful, others are generally suicidal. At the end of any narrative, we will learn interesting and very disappointing facts from the biographies of the
