With that being said, most choices do not appear to matter all that much, the exception being on act 1 since they serve the purpose of deciding your following acts. This game has a “generic” first act that serves the purpose of, via your choices, decide which of the more “specialized” following acts you will get to play, in total there are 5 “main” paths, one for each of the women, said paths can once again branch into good, neutral or bad endings. With that being said, both the story and it’s characters are very well designed.
“Katawa Shoujo” is somewhat different in nature to most other games you’d find on this website, it has no intention at all to be a “sex” game, and, while that is present on the story, it serves a narrative purpose, demonstrating, in a way, the advancement of a relationship.
The short version is: “Katawa Shoujo” is an interesting and very unique game in many aspects, while the narrative isn’t always perfect, the characters are incredibly well designed, making it a worthy time investment.Īs a side note – this review will have no story spoilers.
