Spoiler Free Katawa Shoujo Review
Recommended: 7/10 stars
Time played: 55.6 hours
Device used: Steam Deck - Native Linux Port
To put it simply, I adored my time with this game. It pains me to call this an eroge since I know it'll turn a lot of people off from playing, but it very much is at its core a dating simulator, and to deny it would be misleading. That isn't to say that aspect overshadows the other elements however, as beyond that is a heartfelt story of coming to terms with disability. Taking place in a school for the disabled, its easy to assume this game would be about how potentially life ruining the disabilities of our main characters are. This of course is not true, instead the game focuses on how the characters are able to lead regular lives.
The only issues I had were a few odd game crashes and freezing, thankfully I had been dutiful in saving often. I recommend you do so as well if you play the game on the Linux port like I had done. The games controller support is lackluster at best, so I went for using a premade steam profile. I made a few additions and you can use this input profile with the following link: (steam://controllerconfig/2765027643/3073973742) Do note that it is for the steam deck and likely won't work for other controllers.
