So, who here has played it?
http://katawa-shoujo.com/about.php
In short, it's a bishoujo-style visual novel. It's name literally translates as "Cripple girl". In short, you suffer a heart attack really early, and due to your disability, you are sent to a school for the disabled in order to improve. It's also something of a dating sim, and here's our characters.
Hisao: You, ya schmuck. You suffer from arrythmia, so you're sent to this school to recover. Oh and maybe find love if you play your cards right.
Lilly: A tall and lanky blonde, her disability is being blind. Hangs out with Hanako all the time and is a potential dating option
Hanako: A dark-haired girl who is very socially inept, and covered in scars on her entire left side.
Emi: A girl who lost both of her legs in an accident, and thus has prosthetics. Despite this she's on the track team.
Rin: A girl who, due to a birth defect, is missing both arms. Uses her legs and mouth to do everything. Due to the obvious problems involving skirts, she opts for a male uniform instead during school.
Shizune: A girl whose disability is being deaf and mute, so she uses sign language to communicate.
Misha: Shizune's interpreter. It's unknown whether or not she has a disability beyond being extremely loud.
Other characters:
Kenji: A roommate across from your dorm. Is extremely paranoid, and acts like a cross of Dave Gribble and Harry Potter. Fears the Feminist conspiracy.
The nurse: His job is to make sure you recover.
Akio: Your homeroom teacher. A bit bland, but otherwise a very nice person.
Yuuko: The local librarian. She's also a bit neurotic.
This game is insanely popular right now. 4chan made a sticky purely for this game. It crashed within hours. Over the course of three hours there were literally over nine thousand posts regarding the game, nevermind the off-shoot threads.
As for me I've currently done Emi and Hanako's routes.
EDIT: Somehow [url=http://"http://i.imgur.com/by4JK.jpg"]this game broke 4chan.[/url]
