I'm calling my otaku comrades to help me for this one.

My dormitory mate was bugging me for years to get me in anime-related stuff, which I'm not very keen on. I finally agree to try out his suggested visual novel games (do they really count as one?), and the first game he suggested me was Katawa Shoujo.

Now, afaiu this is a porn game involving high school students with disabilities. I'd shut this down without moving further normally but in online spaces people praise it to the skies.

I don't get what's the appeal with this one, so I'm asking your opinions in the case. Is this really worth trying, or my dormmate trying to set me?

ey! hard to believe but this was my first ever VN and it's actually still one of my favorites. i still think about the artist who painted with her feet, and the deaf gals route was good outside of one moment ("comfort her" lol not like that?!)
