I literally know exactly what you mean, I found it a bit unnerving when I got attached to the characters in this game as I haven't in any other game. This being the first VN ive ever played too, I thought it was well made and makes me want to play more of this genre.AyreonMaiden said:Played it, got Emi's good ending. ADORED this game. I wanna do the other paths, but I'm waiting to sorta "get over" Emi as I'm still attached to her slightly.
First VN I've ever played, and it was very tastefully done. They have physical disabilities but that doesn't change that they're teenagers and that sex is a part of that life. This genre is notorious for being exploitative (or so I hear,) but this was so far from that it's not even funny.
Theres an article on RPS about it ( http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/01/10/impressions-katawa-shoujo/#more-88013 ) which makes me cringe at how wrong and close-minded the writer is.
People tend to only think of a game as something to spend/waste time doing or relaxing on, as opposed to an actual experience.
