Katawa Shoujo is a bishoujo-style visual novel set in the fictional Yamaku High School for disabled children, located somewhere in modern Japan. Hisao Nakai, a normal boy living a normal life, has his life turned upside down when a congenital heart defect forces him to move to a new school after a long hospitalization. Despite his difficulties, Hisao is able to find friends - and perhaps love, if he plays his cards right. There are five main paths corresponding to the 5 main female characters, each path following the storyline pertaining to that character.

It'll be okay! Don't worry.
Check out the new version,

Finally, finished it.
Finally, finished it. Excellent, hard to believe it's being made by 4chan enthusiasts, because it plays better than many commercial VN's (although some things in my opinion could be made better though). If the full version will be as good as Act1, I'll definitely include it in my personal top 10.
I wasn't sure what to give it - 8 or 9 stars, but finally I've decided to give 9. This is noncommercial game after all.
If you do like Visual Novels, don't miss this one.
