One of the pages in the extras section of the doujin contained a sketch imagining a game about disabilities set in a Japanese high school. In December of the year 2000, the doujin Schuppen Harnische was released by the artist RAITA of circle Zettai Shoujo. The story of Katawa Shoujo is a long one, spanning over a decade.
The game uses a traditional text and sprite-based visual novel model with an ADV text box. The story is told through the perspective of the main character, using a first person narrative. There are five main paths corresponding to the 5 main female characters, each path following the storyline pertaining to that character. Despite his difficulties, Hisao is able to find friends - and perhaps love, if he plays his cards right. 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. Katawa Shoujo is a visual novel set in the fictional Yamaku High School for disabled children, located in modern Japan. It's been five long years until this day, with a multinational group of twenty-one developers working on art, music, writing, programming, and direction, to say nothing of the innumerable contributors to the project both past and present, but it's finally here.
