Katawa Shoujo

Anyway, this was pretty awesome... all the characters stick with you after you're done.

I agree completely. That's something I really love about this VN so far.


Anyway, I've found out quite a few things (confirmed) from the ongoing Q & A with the head writer of Katawa Shoujo. Notable confirmations:

- No Misha route
- Hentai scenes in all girls' routes, some more than others
- Some routes have sad ends (or are just sadder in general)
- Routes become more linear after Chapter 1 (obviously, but thank god)
- No other chapters are "finalized" but there's a lot done for all of them
- Next release WILL be the final game, not more individual releases
- Akira will be seen in Lilly's route frequently (YES!)
- At least TWO endings per route (awesome)
- All hentai scenes uncensored for sure
- At least one more female will appear that plays a role in the story (like Akira and Yuuko)
- Adding on to the more linear thing, you can't change routes by Chapter 2...interesting
- Kenji end is confirmed BAD END (it really does end there, with death)

So in summary, it seems like they're going to do a marvelous job with this. Hentai scenes are probably going to be tasteful and work into the story/romance, rather than be simply hardcore, fetish-fulfilling fapfests. But I'm sure they won't disappoint, either. Tons of different endings are confirmed, which is incredible and means I'll be doing many play-throughs.

For those curious, here's the thread:

[SPOILER=Be warned, it's on a hentai site. So I guess make smart decisions if you're underage?]
