Comment on [Katawa Shoujo] A dating sim about handicapped girls... by 4chan? And it's good????
Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 1 week agoIn my opinion that is the strength of Katawa Shoujo: You go into it expecting a light hearted RomCom from the visuals and the “made by 4chan”, but rather get a deeper view into the psyche of 5 teenagers, which helps you better understand yourself or others.

A lot of comments I’ve seen about Shizune’s route suggested it probably wouldn’t be something I’ll enjoy, that’s why I decided to skip it for now. I might give it a shot some day but for now I’m just happy with all the other great stuff in the VN.

I wouldn’t say I didn’t enjoy the route, it was still interesting to me to learn more about Shizune and Misha. It wasn’t that I found the characters annoying or the story bad.
If you liked the other routes I encourage you to try it someday.

Oh, I didn’t try to imply you did. It’s just I’ve seen a lot of talk about this route being more… rough (on a story rather than quality level), so to speak? If that’s the case I’m just not in a headspace for something like that and would rather play it when I’m in a position to better appreciate what’s there. Maybe I just misunderstood people’s thoughts about it, that’s also a possibility.
Either way I do want to go back to it eventually, if only to spend some more time with both characters (I do find them fun whenever they show up in other routes).

No worries, didn’t thought you implied that, just wanted to be clear that its not the games fault.
And yes if your mind is not in the right state at the moment for that, there are many different more positive games instead.
For example, might I suggest a whimsical gentleman adventure roguelike? O=)
