Finally! A demo has been released~ I can't remember how long it's been since I've last heard any news about this project.

Brief summary extract:

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.

The story is told through the perspective of the main character, using a first person narrative. This game uses a traditional text and sprite-based visual novel model with an ADV text box. Katawa Shoujo contains adult content, and is created using the Ren'Py scripting system.

Katawa Shoujo is under development by an international team of amateur developers, and will be released free of charge under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND License. There is currently no release date set.

I've played the whole thing, and all I can saw is, "It's simply beautiful." ;_;

Should be implemented later on in development. None in the demo as of yet. The Sankaku article didn't give it much justice...

That could take nearly up to 10 years at the current pace it seems to be going. I nearly forgot all about this project until I saw the article on Sankaku. Now I'm following it on Blogger properly~

I really hope you're wrong.

It was great, short, and lacking romance, but for a demo, it was really good.

Hopefully we get the full game before the world ends.
