I want to see Qwerty and Swallow play this game
Squidslinger Gilder:
Yeah Emi made some sense because he would get healthier. But I still place her 3rd. Actually finished her arc first but I just found her story to be somewhat predictable. Rin was ok but her personality was so abstract that it had me wondering the sanity of the protagonist. Story just didn't flow that well. Shizune I played last. Glad I did cause yeah it was just wtf ending.

Look at what she did to Hisao: she tied hum up and raped him just because she was bored, made it look like a romantic surprise and got away with it. Hisao could have died since he has a weak heart, but Shizune does not care. She is like a Ayn Rand character stuck on a Kawaii world.

Wait wait wait.
You guys... are playing a game about rape?
That's...not even a little cool.

Relax man,
My post is a small inside joke to those who played the game, there's no rape. probably
Katawa Shoujo at a first glance raises several red flags, after all it is a Visual Novel about handicapped girls that started on 4chan. But actualy its a very well written and tactful.
KS is very interesting, the characters have life and the dialog can be amusing, but the story is very formulaic, it is a classic monomythic coming of age tale, you know the drill:
Young lad lives a normal life, but then something happens, in this case a heart disease, and he is forced to go to a new world, in this case a special school. There he finds new freedoms and new trials, meet new friends and foes. Then he meets a special someone that challenges him on new ways, then there is sex as rite of passage, then there's a trial of fire and finally the lad becomes a man and it is time to return home and back to the known world. And the story ends.
This post getting way bigger than necessary, so I'll end it. I tend to get carried away when discussing medias that I like.
Wazulu :
So, reading this thread, I braced myself for the madness of this game. So far, I've completed a fully successful Emi arc, and I'm somewhere in Shizune's Arc now. Besides the shed episode, which was 'interesting', my main problem is the sheer time investment in the game. Her Arc took me a good 4 hours, and I don't think I can play anything near Qwerty's fully complete run. The Skip feature's a blessing, but surely if you're playing one of these games you want to read each dialogue sequence. I'm still on the fence for this one, considering the Arc I've just played through, but I leave it 'til I've finished Shizune's to decide to go for another Arc, or just to call quits and get back to heavy-input games.
Qwerty Kun:
Wazulu if I can make a recommendation. Stop shizunes path right now, it is highly disappointing (at least compared to the other paths in the game)
If you want the best experience for your time go play Hanako's path, the level of beauty in that story arch is amazing.
Btw katawa shoujo is slated as a medium length VN taking about 50 hours to 100%. Longest VN I have played is 'If my heart had wings' which is rumoured to take about 120 hours to 100%.
