Description

Katawa Shoujo is a visual novel game developed by the four-person development team Four Leaf Studios. The game is set in a fictional school for disabled students and is centered around protagonist Hisao Nakai, who has to adjust to his new life at the school. The game follows Hisao's interactions with the five main female characters, each of whom has a different disability. The game is split into several acts, which are further divided into multiple scenes. Each act follows a linear plot line with multiple branches and endings, depending on the player's choices, including a potential romantic relationship. Each of the five main girls has a distinct personality and backstory, which the player can explore through conversations and optional scenes. The game is written in a style of visual novel, with an emphasis on character development and story progression, as opposed to traditional video game elements such as combat or puzzle-solving. The game also features multiple minigames, including a track-and-field game, a card-matching game, and a periodic table-based game.
