Runs well on modern hardware.

i hated all disabled people before playing this game but this changed my life view, after playing this game when i look at a disabled person i dont make fun of them instead i dont look at them for their disability and only judge them from how hot they are instead. thank you Katawa Shoujo.
I discovered Katawa Shoujo through a DDLC mod called Blue Skies, which takes big inspiration from Katawa Shoujo. At first I wasn't sure if I want to try the game, but I decided to give it a shot. I don't regret my decision, the opposite. I love Katawa Shoujo. The game has an incredible soundtrack, art and characters. There wasn't a single route I didn't enjoy, they're all incredible. The game also inspired me to work on myself and try to improve in some ways. As of writing this review, if I was to name my top 10 games, Katawa Shoujo would be among them. ♥
Just finished the last of the routes...i have no words. It was phenominal...some routes were so beautiful. Some so tragic...some frustrating. But each one was the definition of unique...I feel so bad that this game is free. Do the devs have like a Kofi or something? It should be criminal that this game is free.
