They are entirely aware of the risks of sex for arrythmatics. Hell, they noted that the medication Hisao takes causes erectile dysfunction, for crying out loud.

That does not seem like a step towards resolving the issue.

That would be too easy, wouldn't it? I'm sure the writers are planning to have more fun than that.

The KS devs are infamous in the community - especially on the Shimmie - for being incredible trolls. What makes you think they want to resolve the issue?

I'd start a betting pool on Hisao's chances. Five internets says he doesn't live to see the ending credits of the final version.

Her Heart Will Go On?

A friend turned me onto the demo...I like the dialogue.

So adorable. (Mildly NSFW - no naughty bits showing, but might get you funny looks)

The anatomy of that... Why isn't she falling backwards in that picture?

I guess she's in motion?

Yeah, look at the motion lines. She seems to be wiggling her legs, which suggests to me she just sat up to hug the heart to her chest.

And it's not like it's impossible to have your legs and your torso off the ground and balance on your ass... it just gets tiring when you have to hold that position for long time.

Hey I didn't know we had a Katawa Shoujo thread.

I did. (duh. :P)

I do consider it weird that it's not in the Video Games subforum though.

visual novels are considered a cross between animu and vidia! (at least on /a/ and /v/)

I'd call them more a cross between Light Novels and Video Games. Of course, maybe not everyone really distinguishes between Light Novels and Manga, or Anime for that matter.

...I like to think of them as a cross between a Choose Your Own Adventure book and a Light Novel, on a COMPUTER!

New Rin fanart is awesome.

And I agree with one of the comments. If I saw that, I would be somewhat more impressed than afraid.

Lull approves of Yanderekko Rin.

Incredibly addicting like other video games (Halo, mass effect) for some reason, despite it having no action. 100% completion in 2 days. Errrgh. Wonder when the full game will be finished?

I dunno, somehow (looking at the kotaku article), death via heart attack just doesn't seem to fit the mood of the game or the ostensible mood of the devs caused by nurse-kun. I dunno, this is literally my first visual novel, and I'm a complete noob in the way of 4chan....so yeah.

Doublepost. Sorry.

Uh. What?

Obviously Technonarrator was caught in a time dialation pocket that caused a double post to occur over the course of a few days.

I've heard a bit about this game, but I can't really tell. Is it a trollish game with loads of stupidity, or is it actually (as it appears) a pretty normal Dating Sim?

Or something in between?

It's very normal. Actually, quite well-written.

it comes of as catering to disability fetishes but it has depth and story... also, it has rin. doesn't that make you want to play?

It's actually very subtle about the catering - well, as subtle as it can be when that's the first thing anyone will know about the game. But within it, there's no particular attention drawn to the girls' disabilities besides the viewpoint character's initial reaction and description. And obviously their interaction, what with how you can't talk directly with the mute girl or you deal with the prosthetic legs girl on the running court and stuff. It's not overblown, is what I'm saying.
