Even though I lost interest in KS, I still couldn't help but think about it. KS changed my life. It made me look at people with disabilities in a whole new light. Originally, I thought they were a bit strange. But now, I look at them as individuals that truly have the strength to overcome some of life's greatest challenges. Whenever I hear or read about someone deaf or blind or an amputee, I can't help but become interested. To this day, I still hold up KS as a shining example that games can be art, that deep emotional stories can be told, and that pornographic content does not need to diminish the quality of a project. It is my second favorite game of all time (just behind Persona 3) and to date the only visual novel I have played.

They released a demo for it sometime back. It was okay, I guess, decently-written visual novel and that's about it.

Is that comic what happens in this game, or just what happens in most J-dating games?

Vizzys · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2012, 10:15:59 PM »

nah that comic is older than the full vn

it has the main character name so im thinking it came out after the demo

demi · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:16:12 PM »

I read that thread and I am still trying to figure out why they are having serious discussions over a fan made game about fucking disabled people.

I was browsing their forums and googling the words and phrases I didn't understand, and they all led me to TV Tropes.

Still can't get over that thing I posted upthread. "I used to think do disabled people were freaks until I played this hentai game."

So is this a Japanese game or a game made by Western dudes as commentary on Japanese hentai games? No interest in playing it, but I'm interested in the motivations of the developers.

It's a Japanese-style visual novel game with relatively tame [for the genre] sex scenes.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #41 on:** January 08, 2012, 11:40:37 PM »

NHK is a goddamn masterpiece chock full of substance abuse and suicide attempts! The full series retails for $30 and you can probably just stream the entire thing at Funi's site, there's no excuse for not viewing it!

Welcome to the NHK is actually $22 on Amazon.

She might just be a spaz since she's the other girl's interpreter and such. Didn't play very far.

According to the forums, she's afflicted with severe chronic moe. Also possibly lesbianism.

Bebpo · « **Reply #50 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:33:34 PM »

I hadn't realized this was made by white people. Is this the first non-Japanese developed full-length visual novel? Sort of interested in checking it out to see a western take on the genre.

Had thought it was just another j-VN that got an english translation and was free.

Also, I didn't know this because I don't follow 4ch at all.

Akala · « **Reply #51 on:** January 12, 2012, 10:57:40 PM »

will check it out this weekend. I'm being ironic.

@Beb I'm positive this isnt the first. vndb will point you to many more im sure.

I havent actually installed it yet \o_o/

tehjaybo · « **Reply #53 on:** January 15, 2012, 03:50:35 AM »

Yep. I played it. As a matter of fact, I got to 95% completion so far. Seen most of the good/bad endings with everyone. Oddly enough, I had been waiting for this game since I first heard about it on 4chan. Glad it finally came out. I enjoyed it, they put a lot into the story.

Yeah, I'm serious.

Also, for those that want quick character rundowns:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Lilly: Tall blonde Scot/Japanese. She's blind and rich, and super proper.
Hanako: Scars along her face, hands, and body. PTSD from her house burning down when she was a child killing her family.
Shizune: Dark hair and deaf. Cousins with Lilly, rules the Student Council with an iron fist.
Misha: Shizune's translator. No real disability, she wants to teach sign language. Crush on Shizune.
Rin: No arms, dunno why. Seriously spaces out most of the time. Up and coming young artist.
Emi: Lost her legs and her dad in a car accident. Has more daddy issues than leg issues. She's on the track team with her portal-legs, and kicks ass.

It might be the first one with real effort behind it, but white kids have been playing around with Ren-py and churning out their own ADVs/VNs for many years now.

Akala · « **Reply #56 on:** January 17, 2012, 09:19:31 PM »

warning:it better than has any right to be!

actually played through...my inner weeaboo is fulfilled for a good while.

I honestly was only going to give one route a chance, but says something that I ended up playing through all of them. worth at least a playthrough. the characters are actually really interesting, even if some are kinda overused anime tropes. also not sure why people were crying or anything...at its worst it's romance novel dreck, but is really fun when it's rolling. different authors for different routes mean some are much better than others.

Many people say the sex scenes are tasteful, and most um...kinda are....but having that shit on my screen was fucking embarrassing. There was an option for no matoor contentz, but I didn't want to miss anything. still, was kinda terrified my wife would walk in...some things you just can't explain.

I also like the story of the overall development...took a lot of dedication to make something so weird happen. really neat ~~game~~ thing.

I'd say it's really worth a try...if I had to rate, I'd say:
Emi>Rin>Hanako>Lilly>Shizune.

Did you go for 100% (I.E. Did you get good/bad endings for each) or just one play for each route?

Akala · « **Reply #58 on:** January 21, 2012, 09:54:07 AM »

I ended up at 100% completion but am missing the final gallery picture for some reason. I was underwhelmed by all of the bad endings except for Hanako.
