Yes
What you rate the game:
9/10
Initial Thoughts:
If you didn't know, I enjoy playing visual novels. They are games with no gameplay, just reading. When someone recommended this game I thought it would be another generic, poorly written Visual Novel.
Gameplay and Story:
Well, there is no gameplay. The story however, you are a teenager name Hisao, and at the beggining of the game you are diagnosed with Chronic Arythmia, and you go to a school for the disabled, because you are not able to go to a normal school due to heart attacks being easy to get with your condition.
Backstory:
I guess I just told it
Pros:
Amazing story writing and character development
The soundtrack is one of the best I've heard
It's free
Cons:
If you turn on the block for NSFW content, you aren't able to get 100%
There were a few missed opportunitys for routes
Final Thoughts
Katawa Shoujo is one of my favorite games, due to the character development, writing, the emotions, and the soundtrack. I'd recommend it to anyone with spare time.
