That's why we have Emi who appeals right in the center of the spectrum. So Emi's the ideal route. Being in the center, it stands to reason that her route contains a balance of both ends. Not exactly. It appeals to both end of the spectrum, but to some it might be 'lacking' in feels, or 'lacking' in...

Part of the ambiguity I think comes from the love triangle aspect that's foreshadowed in the FMV before act 2. it sets up an expectation that Misha would be interested in Hisao, which causes a lot of events to be perceived that way at first glance. The fact that the whole thing gets inverted and sh...

If I could logic myself out of social anxiety and depression, believe me, I would. Doesn't even sort of work that way.

With only that knowledge, what seems like more of a realistic expectation? Actually, neither of those expectations seems at all realistic given just the basic premise and the "It came from 4chan" tidbit that generally comes with knowing of the game. XD I came out of curiosity. Not even morbid, just...

I don't think she hates anyone having an actual relationship with her, her PTSD prevents her from coping with it. That's the difference that I keep trying to explain. She doesn't hate it. She wants it. She doesn't know how to react to it though which complicates things and makes it look like she do...

I have trouble believing Misha is a straight up lesbian because... well, because part of me ships Misha x Hisao, honestly. :lol: As far as I'm able to tell, most of the protesting about Misha's sexuality comes from wishful thinking. Props for being honest about it. The narrative as it exists doesn'...

A lot of people came to KS with the morbid voyeuristic attitude to see what kind of fucked up shit "4chan" had cooked up with the crippled girls eroge premise. I don't see an awful many people whine that KS doesn't have stump pegging. Neither is KS really about looking past disabilities (there are ...

Or they just came for what was clearly the premise and were let down when what they saw wasn't what they were hoping for. It's one thing to experiment with a genre or conventions, but you can't always expect people to like it when it ends up being totally different than the reason they were attract...

Wow... that was intense. It works, too.

For some reason I respect Aura more than I did before even.

I bet the best shot for a successful sequel would be something set around ten or twelve years later, when everyone's a young adult, building a career or what-have-you. One route might be mostly set in an office, one might be mostly in various travel locales, one might be a very public life of inter...

I guess the concept of KS begs people to have some great expectation for "Drama-Trauma®" and "Touchy-Feely Stuff™", but if a particular route happens to lack either of it, and the author does it intentionally (perhaps to tear down the allegorical cave or build something out of the genre ghetto), th...

As far as I can recall, Hanako never really explains what happened in that great of detail. There was a house-fire, her mom saved her, her parents died. Now, while this could suggest that she left the details deliberately vague because she thought Hisao would hate her if he knew that the fire was h...

footjob scene. Some may be thankful that I wasn't a 4chaner around the time of Katawa Shoujo's development. Others may be slightly disappointed. I'm disappointed that anyone is on 4chan ever because it sucks. But I digress. My take on not-Rin's route would probably have such a scene as well. That m...
