Disabled school children, romance and exceptional writing make Katawa Shoujo one of the finest visual novels ever made.
KeenGamer: "We have the best visual novels to suggest to you, but we do recognize that many gamers don’t consider visual novels as games. Sluggishly leafing through dialogues, from time to time making choices. Additionally, many don’t like the anime style of the genre. Maybe we can change your mind."
Most games today are safe to play with colleagues and family, however, some games still have that “nope, I don’t want my mom to see me playing this”-feel to them. Christian has played most of this genre, and has made a list of his top 10 NSFW games.
“Most of the game is safe to play with family, but you can be unlucky and have your parents walk in on the scene that features dildo’s and the characters’ parents having sex.”
I think you mean kids walking in on dad fapping. Pretty sure the age group of South Park fans makes it the parents playing the game. Maybe I was supposed to quit gaming when I had kids though...
Disabilities aren't common in video games. But when they do appear, their portrayals are more realistic than one would at first believe.
I'm fairly certain that the limitations of the game engine prevented Joker from being even more realistic, but yea, BioWare is pretty awesome.
Great overview of this game. Katawa Shouo is amazing - probably one of the best Visual Novels I've ever read - and it's free!
Manly tears were shed with that game.
Not playing the game.. too much of a wuss.. I have been following someone on YT playing it tho.. it dampens any emotional impact that would be too much for me :P
JRPGs, not just digital novels, need writing like this. At least once in a while versus the usual vapid and rehashed storyline.
I hate the name of this article. I should download the game and give it a try.
