We have identified an issue regarding cross-compatibility between save files with previous versions of Katawa Shoujo with the Steam version. We have pushed an update which should prevent the game here on Steam from picking up save files from other versions. Please do not try to load save files from previous versions of the game on Steam.
This update also resolves an issue with Steam cloud saves not applying across platforms.
We are looking into a bug where the game does not display properly in fullscreen on certain monitors and are hoping to resolve it soon.
Thanks everyone for playing ) !!
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. The game uses a traditional text and sprite-based visual novel model with an ADV text box.
