Katawa Shoujo

They better make a Kenji route, where you become bros for life and rule out women FOREVER while plotting their demise (with graphs and puppets).

BRO END.

I want that too.

Anyway, I am leaning towards Hanako or Lilly, since I pissed off Misha and Shizune. I am going to go finish because it has been annoying me all day.

News: Apparently all the routes are drafted (or farther), half or so of the CGs are completed and all the music is done. One character's (who wasn't in Chapter 1) sprites have yet to be done. Seems like it'll largely be finishing the CGs, piecing it all together and doing proofreading/testing. I'm gonna stay optimistic and hope it gets done within a year's time. Well, a man can hope.

Seems quite a few others haven't found the Rin end yet, either. I don't want to go looking too hard because a part of me doesn't want it spoiled. But if it gives me trouble, I may have to.

this is really fun, too bad it is so short, i could get hooked on these things....

god no, maple is enough of a drug.

Play full-length VNs. Those consume days upon days if you want to do all the routes. And glad to have you on the good side. I'm always disappointed that so many people have never played (or even heard of...) visual novels. I guess either too stupid to find them or too intimidated by reading? lol

Also L> for moar discussion. I made this thread because I wanted to introduce SP to a unique, fun and free VN so that we could all discuss it, share our thoughts, progress and have a generally merry time.

Prompt: Thoughts on Misha's disability? There's no right or wrong answer at this point.

Apparently I got Emi's ending because I went with her and Rin to the festival.

Hm, Misha's disability is a though one to guess. Maybe she has a milder arrhythmia or maybe she is blind in one eye. I'll think of some more ridiculous theories and get back to you.

My first guess was that she had ADHD or OCD. Some sort of personality disorder. Explains why she's always signing. Anyways. I got Emi end. FUCKING HNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG THE MOST ADORABLE PUPPY DOG EYES I HAVE EVER SEEN, ETC. Anticlimactic though. Will attempt Lilly get later.

SRS. I was like, WHAT THE HELL? Ending: Hisao goes to sleep.

.......

Anyway, the general consensus with Misha is that it's some type of mental disability. I agree; I just have no idea what. She's not mentally retarded. And what's with the "dizzy on stairs" comment? I haven't even seen it yet in game. Is it real? If so, wat.

Ok, now I've got time.

Here are my thoughts and possible spoilers:

 Spoiler

- First of all, Misha does say she gets dizzy when going upstairs. When you are already IN the school council, Misha tells you to fetch a couple of things for her, and after you answer why doesn't she instead, she tells you that she has this problem. So, getting dizzy, according to Wikipedia, means that she suffers of vertigo, disequilibrium or somewhat. Another theory I thought of is partial blindness, but that's already been brought up.

- The ending in which you are drinking whiskey with Kenji and you suicide is the most badass ever.

- Lilly is sooooooooooo adorable. She's too coloquial and correct that I want to hug her and kiss her already. The particular scene where Shizune and Lilly start arguing and gets out of control is extremely funny.

- I don't seem to want to get close to Hanako... I'm scared of her. (inb4Felixtrollsme).

- I was so disappointed at Emi's ending too! I expected that after having a heart attack for racing her, there would be something better than a picnic with her and Rin. What doesn't mean at all that I don't like them. That particular line where they say that they're perfect complementing each other and that Emi dresses her up every morning gave me a boner. And btw, I love the scene where Rin is eating with her feet. SO SEXY.

That's moreless all. I still want to give Hanako a try, but someone needs to convince me.

RAGING LIKE THE FIST OF THE NORTH STAR. How can you not like Hanako?? Shy girls are the best. And she's really insecure, so it's like getting the chance to be the person to let her know she's still beautiful. ;_; Then she will love you passionately. You get to play chess with her at the end. How is that not awesome? DO IT.

Don't give me any crap. JUST DO IT!

 Ultra cute part with Hanako route

And when you're walking together near the end, she tells you about how she skips certain parts of the floor when walking. It's a little game she plays with herself because she's always lonely/dejected and watching the floor when she walks.

Oh god. ;_;

Vertigo's a good frickin' theory. Plus now I can never unsee Misha in scenes from Vertigo (the movie). LOL Thanks for that awesome visual. If it turns out she really does have vertigo, I demand a Vertigo/Misha parody video/scene. Haha oh wow, FUND IT.

And yeah, I've yet to get the MANLY PICNIC end. I've seen screenshots from it and it looks hilarious. Looking forward to it.

Maybe the vertigo is why you don't go to the rooftop with Misha and Shizune :f6:.

I thought I was yet to be convinced, your spoiler is the CUTEST dialogue ever. I do it too ;_;

And to think you doubted Hanako. You should be ashamed! She's the best girl. Period. I actually do it too... lol

ITT: Ronery.

;_;

I'm gonna start my 3rd play through after I go grab something to eat. Hoping for MANLY PICNIC or Misha/Shizune get this time.

If you want to get to those endings, choose outgoing answers and be loyal to the girls.

Yeah, I was pretty sure I knew how to get the Shizune end by now. I was gonna do: Yes to self-introduction, Aggressive move in Risk and take their side in the Lilly/Shizune conflict. The 3-choice question during lunch with Misha/Shizune, however, I dunno. I suppose ask about Shizune's deafness? I've done that one before, though, and it does (seemingly) nothing. I asked about the library my first time because I thought it'd lead to Hanako (which I did get my first time). What does the final choice do ("I think I got everything I need to know")?

Anyway, starting now.

---

Oh, HO! I remember now. I forgot about this decision because it didn't appear in my 2nd play through. It must not become an option unless you play aggressively in Risk (or do the self-introduction? but I don't think that question really affects the game much). It seems to be the main factor in branching off towards Shizune or towards Hanako/Lilly.

Wait for Misha and Shizune to come to a decision.
Read my book.

I did the latter the first time. And I never got that question at all my 2nd time. I guess it's what really starts you down the Shizune route. Doing it now!

Oh, and I'll add that I picked the 3rd option on that lunch question this time. It seems to make Misha and Shizune happy. Choosing "Ask about Shizune's deafness" does nothing because he feels too awkward/nervous to actually ask about it.

---

FFFFFFFFFFFFF- Yuuko works at the tea cafe place too? What the hell?! I hate her enough as the librarian. GAH.

This is awesome. I love how every time I play it's almost like a completely new story. I'm surprised (again) by how different the Misha/Shizune route is. Like spending the day missing class with them, instead of wondering where they were. It even makes you miss the conversation with Muto about what to do. Interesting.

Just joined the student council. Wooo It sucked having to be mean to Lilly...again. This route is actually quite a bit of fun, regardless. I find myself liking Misha a lot more than Shizune, though. I imagine Shizune probably takes on an adorable tsundere relationship with Hisao if you pursue her, but still. Misha's much more attractive.

LOL oh god. Misha/Shizune invade Hisao's room. I had to pause at this new decision when Misha asks about my meds.

Try to dodge the subject
Kick them out of my room

AWESOME. This is like the decision that appeared on the Emi route (Run faster or slow down). I might have to play a couple more times to see the different responses to the different answers. Quite amazing how thorough Chapter 1 is, with a surprising number of different scenarios/scenes.

---

Okay, sweet. Finished my 3rd complete play through. I definitely have to say that one was interesting. It seemed to be the most "selfish" route, in that almost all of it was spent with Misha/Shizune. In Hanako's route, I spent a considerable amount of time with nearly every girl (some more than others, but not the point), until the end. I thought the ending was nice. The fireworks were quite well done, and it made me like Shizune a bit more. Though what happened to Misha? She was up on the roof with them too, but it was like she wasn't there. Was she just watching the fireworks away from them? I thought it was sweet how Hisao was talking to Shizune about wanting to date her, knowing she couldn't hear him...but how did Misha not overhear that? WHERE WAS SHE. lol Overall, I will say it's the best Chapter 1 ending because it's the only one where Hisao admits to falling in love already.

Now I have 92% complete. Missing 4 scenes and 1 song. I also noticed something VERY odd (possible glitch). After my first play through, in my Extras' Library, I noticed I had both Hanako's and Lilly's ending scene. I didn't pay any attention to it. But now that I've realized their name only fills in when you get their ending scene, I decided to watch Lilly's...since I know I haven't gotten it yet. Sure enough, I had never seen that ending before. Why does it say I have it unlocked? I should have had only Hanako's, Emi's and Shizune's at this point. Meh. Regardless, I think I will still try to achieve Lilly's ending legitly.

And that also leaves Rin's end and MANLY PICNIC. Goodness this is a fun VN. Crazy how much content there is in just Chapter 1. I am impressed and pleased.

---

k, found someone that has already made a Chapter 1 route map:

[SPOILER=Serious, ultimate spoilers inside this one. Do not open unless you have played once or more already...or if you're a f'ag who doesn't care]



Looking over it, though, I've found you do NOT have to follow those listed routes exactly to achieve the desired ending scene. For example, I achieved Hanako's route by picking some different answers as listed. You just have to answer a certain way on the questions that really matter. The first question in the game is completely worthless, from what I've found.

And looks like I was right about how to get Rin's end. I figured as much after playing my 2nd time, since Emi and Rin are so close. I figured if I answer "Take it easy" when running with her I'd start to move towards Rin rather than Emi. Now I just gotta try it.

---

Okay, yeah. After thoroughly looking over that route map and considering everything I've experienced in my three complete play throughs, I've found this game is definitely quite loose with your responses. Which is impressive because it really makes what'd you think happen, happen. There's not really any "set in stone" routes in Chapter 1. For example, you could still have the heart attack while running with Emi and end up with Shizune, depending on the earlier and approaching choices. That means there's MANY different ways to achieve endings. It's surprisingly realistic. And I think it's safe to say the first 4-5 (at least first 3) questions don't have ANY effect besides changing some dialogue.

Oh...and, how long am I going to keep talking with myself I wonder? No one to discuss things with ever. ;_;

---

k so I couldn't resist playing more tonight. Decided to use Skip Mode now, though. I've been playing through it all manually previously, all three times. Now I'm just gonna use Skip to move to the decisions and get the rest of my missing scenes. Found the MANLY PICNIC end first.

OH MY GOD.

 Spoiler

That was the most hilarious and depressing ending EVER. I didn't realize this game had a BAD END built in. Hisao dies.

Yeah, seriously. He falls off the roof and dies. I didn't think you literally meant suicide. haha I imagine if you take this route in the finished game it just ends here. Unless he survived that fall? And the SPLAT sound? If he survives (highly doubt), this route would have Hisao even more crippled.

Wow.

Missing 3 scenes and I have all the songs now.

wtp dies?

no wonder the chapter is called life expentancy. brb gonna get the death ending somehow

wtp dies?

no wonder the chapter is called life expentancy. brb gonna get the death ending somehow

WOOO Finally I can stop that legendary length post of TALKING TO MYSELF. I've been using Skip mode to race to each decision and try answering as many different combinations as possible. I've found it's quite easy to get the BAD END. All you gotta do is work your way towards one of the females and get really close to them. And then, when the final decision comes on their route, pick the RUDE choice. After that, Hisao gets depressed and ends up with Kenji at the MANLY PICNIC. I've achieved it by getting close to Misha/Shizune and then kicking them out of my room and by getting close to Lilly and then refusing to tell her about my heart condition. Both of those result in BAD END.

By doing all this, I've also noticed you can create some really weird scenarios. Like get close to Misha/Shizune, have tea with them, join the student council, but then kick them out of your room and end your relationship with them. For some reason after that, it triggers the walking to town with Lilly scene (which doesn't normally happen unless you've been working towards Lilly). Normally the question about your heart condition would come up at the end of your walk back to school. However, in this odd case, it doesn't, since you've been rude to Lilly previously. After that...BAD END.

It's quite twisted all the different ways you can mash the scenes together and affect what decisions you get to make. You can change the dialogue that appears during scenes, too, in some cases. Gotta read really close to catch it sometimes.

Gonna do Rin's route now finally and should achieve 100%. If I'm still missing a scene after that, FRICK. lol

---

Rin's end is awesome. Much better than I expected. Rin is so strange, yet I find myself really liking her. They just spent the entire day together...doing nothing, until they fell asleep on each other and the fireworks started and woke them up. I enjoyed it. One of the other scenes I was missing, Creative Pain, revealed a character I hadn't seen before too. Nomiya, the art teacher. He is really funny looking. haha

However...DANGIT. I am still missing ONE scene. 98% completion. What on earth? It's the scene after Home Field Advantage. Anyone have? How2find? I guess there's still one question I haven't tried the other answer to yet. And maybe it's on the legit path to Lilly's end? I gotta try!

---

Lol that was easier than I thought. I found the scene by following the suggested route to the BAD END on that route map. There's SO many ways to achieve that ending, which is surprising...since it's by far the worst result. Anyway, the scene was "Slow Recovery" and it even presents a decision I've never seen before. Misha asks where Hisao was after his heart attack from running with Emi. The choice I made resulted in him telling Misha and Shizune to piss off.

...yeah. Now there's that decision and the one in the Rin route I have to try the other answer to to see what happens. And it looks I DO have to achieve the Lilly ending manually, even though it says I have it unlocked. It's counting it towards my completion (I have 100% now), but it hasn't given me the final Gallery image (the 100% image; I've seen it before on /a/). Gonna do Lilly's end, those alternative answers and then I'll be all done with the game, completely.

brb.

---

Whoa. I didn't think there was any new decisions possible, but I was wrong. This scenario is really strange. I ended up joining student council AND running with Emi the second time. If you answer "Don't want to talk about it" (or w/e) to Misha when she's asking where you were after your heart attack with Emi, it will bring up a new dilemma: Eat with Emi? Eat with Shizune? Since you've managed to get close to both girls in this scenario, the game actually makes you choose which ending to get at this point. lol Cool.

---

Awesomeee! Confirmed that glitch. Something is up with the Lilly ending. It improperly unlocks itself if you do Hanako's ending first. But trust me, even if the game says you have Lilly's ending, make sure you do it manually too. For some reason, the game doesn't record one scene (the one where you have tea with Lilly and her sister) and it's a MUST see. Lilly's sister, Akira, is a delicious reverse trap. OMG. I can't believe I almost passed up seeing her. However, (thankfully), even though it's possible to get 100% by doing all endings except Lilly's, the game won't give you the 100% completion image until you get 100% in the Extras' Library AND view the Akira scene.

So now I've done it all. Viewed every possible scene, unlocked all CGs and songs and read all possible dialogue. 100% completion, period. After I go play MS for a bit, I'll do a write up of my opinions and summaries of all possible routes/endings.

Look forward to it!

Excuse the double post, but I don't wanna make another massive write up and have it attached to my previously massive post. lol I will attach everything I make in this post to the OP too, for easy access later.

Conclusion/Summaries/Final Opinions of Katawa Shoujo after 100% completion:

 Hanako

My favorite girl from the beginning and still my favorite girl after the end. However, I grew to love some of the other girls very much too--almost as much as Hanako.

Hanako's route is fairly straight forward. She's much different than the other girls and keeps to herself extremely. To start Hanako's route, make sure you say you think she's cute (or ask Misha/Shizune about the library).

By saying you think Hanako is cute, you'll later feel bad about scaring her off during your first meeting in the library. You'll be prompted to go talk with Hanako during class. If you choose to, you're basically deciding you do, indeed, want to pursue either Hanako or Lilly. If you want to back off those girls, do so now and choose to read your book instead (or wait for Misha/Shizune to come a decision if you chose to play aggressively earlier). By talking with Hanako, you'll end up going to have tea with Lilly and Hanako for lunch. It really bonds you much closer to both girls, though Hanako is still very shy.

After this, your life will basically revolve completely around Hanako and Lilly. You'll still meet the other girls and spend some time with them, but you won't get close to any of them. Hanako will wonder where Lilly is and you'll accompany her to the blind classroom. Then you'll help Lilly out by helping Kenji finish his banner along with Hanako. Much more glorious bonding is had.

The next major thing in this route is going to town with Lilly. You'll have a great time and bond with her while you help her shop. It's very sweet. After a random encounter with Rin, Lilly will become concerned about your heavy breathing. By telling her you're not in very good condition, she'll learn of your heart problem and become very adorably concerned about you. Don't be afraid to admit you're not in good condition; avoiding this matter will not be pretty.

Next comes the big decision: When you're in class the next day, you have to figure out how to kill some time. Head to town and meet with Lilly? Or follow Hanako to the library? It's obvious what to do here. Want Lilly? Go to town? Want Hanako? Go to the library. By following Hanako to the library, you'll end up reading together and sharing an awkwardly cute bonding moment. This is all you'll need to achieve the quickly approaching Hanako end.

On the final day, at the festival, you'll meet Lilly attending her class' booth. You'll order some food and chat with her. She'll wonder where Hanako is, but she'll be too busy to leave the stand. You'll then go and look for Hanako by yourself. Sure enough, you find her in the library (what a rebel ;_. After some chatting, you end up going to a private room to spend some time with her. On your way there, you see Hanako walking kind of funny. She reveals a silly little game she plays with herself when she's walking alone: She avoids the darker colored parts of the floors (d'awwww). When you get to the room, she suggests playing chess. The Hanako Chapter 1 route comes to an end after one game of chess and deciding to play another!

<3

 Lilly

Lilly's Chapter 1 route doesn't differ very much from Hanako's. Read the above spoiler for much more information. I'll just add the unique parts here.

Be sure to take Lilly's side during the argument between Lilly and Shizune!

When deciding what to do to kill time on the day before the festival, choosing to go to town will result in you finding Lilly inside the tea cafe (Shanghai). Inside, you'll meet Akira, Lilly's sister. Akira dresses and looks very male-ish (she's delicious, I promise). After sitting and listening to them chat, Akira will leave and you'll chat with Lilly for a while. This will be all you need to achieve the quickly approaching Lilly end.

On the final day, at the festival, you'll meet Lilly at her class' booth and order some food. However, this time, she will be able to find some help to take over for her. She will accompany you in your search for Hanako. After finding Hanako in the library, you, Lilly and Hanako will watch the beautiful fireworks at the festival's closing. Lilly is happy and sad the festival is coming to an end, but you comfort her by placing your hand on her shoulder. Much d'awwwing is had as you look forward to having tea with Hanako and Lilly every day from now on.

<3

 Shizune

I didn't like Shizune at all at first, as she comes off really bossy/stuck up. However, Misha is sexy (although kinda wacky and slow) and is always around Shizune, so that's cool. I did grow to like Shizune more after experiencing her Chapter 1 route, too.

You first meet Shizune and Misha on your first day of class. Blah blah. You eat lunch together. They ask you questions. Blah blah. They bring up the idea of you joining student council. They pick on you. Blah blah. After playing a game of Risk with them, you tell them you'll think about joining--maybe. Make sure you play aggressively during Risk to keep their interest in you growing.

The next day in class Shizune and Misha will be arguing about where to eat. If you decide to wait for them to decide, you'll end up going with them to the tea cafe (Shanghai) for lunch. Much fun is had as Misha and Shizune reveal their trickery in getting you to skip class, nearly forcing you to join the student council to get out of the future trouble!

After class, you help the girls get some items for their festival work. After meeting the rest of the girls and lots of random stuff, the next day brings a conflict between Lilly and Shizune. Be sure to care only about yourself and not bother defending Lilly too. Since you said you're a capable guy, Shizune and Misha will trap you into helping them build booths for the festival for the rest of the day. Once it's night and you're all done, you'll agree to join the student council!

The next morning, Misha and Shizune will come to your dorm to pick you up (more like prevent you from running away) and invade your room. Oh noes. Be sure to just try dodging the subject when they ask you about your heart meds. Do not kick them out! After helping the girls finish up festival stuff, the day goes pretty quiet and night comes quickly.

The next morning they invade your dorm again (!) and get you to come have tea with them another time. After spending some time with them there and engaging in a battle of wits with Shizune, you'll be forced to find your way back to school alone...only to end up working more when you get back. You spend all day bonding and helping again. Your reward: take out food! YES. Oh yeah, and because you lost the battle earlier, you had to agree to attend the festival tomorrow!

On the final day, the girls will pick you up and take you to the festival. You spend the entire day eating food, chatting and playing games. You win Shizune a cute kitty doll, even! Aww. Shizune's Chapter 1 route ends atop the roof, watching the fireworks and realizing you are starting to love her.

<3

 Emi

Emi is veeery short and extremely cute. However, I didn't like her much at first because I knew she was the athletic one. I changed my mind after experiencing her route, as well. Isn't it crazy how lovable all the women are?

Your first encounter with Emi is always her running into you and causing you to almost die. f3 You'll see her again after finally listening to the Nurse and going running with Emi in the morning. After a failtacular performance, you'll wonder why the hell you'd want to keep running! But if you promise the Nurse you'll keep at it, you'll go running with Emi a second time. You can either choose to be a MAN and race Emi or back off. If you race her, you will trigger a minor heart attack and nearly die (lolfail). Emi will be super scared and take you to the Nurse. After a dual-scolding, Emi promises to treat you to lunch atop the roof later.

You can end up having lunch with Emi and Rin atop the roof in a number of ways, but you won't be able to stay on Emi's route unless you proved your merit by racing her. So be sure to almost kill yourself for her!

The next notable experience with Emi comes during a state of boredom, wondering what you should do. Emi intercepts you and makes you help her and Rin paint. You go with Emi to get some supplies from the art classroom. When you get back, Rin demands some Prussian Blue! You and Emi head back up to get it, and then she confronts you with her plan for your well-being! She makes you agree to run with her every morning from now on and stay on a strict meal plan. Her concern is so cute.

On the final day, at the festival, Emi basically rapes all your fun and prevents you from eating any good food. ;_; Emi's Chapter 1 route ends VERY boringly by you agreeing to run with her in the morning...so you head off to bed early.

COME ON...I mean...<3

 Rin

I didn't know how to feel about Rin in the beginning. I learned she's frickin' crazy, which is cool...but she's like REALLY mellow and lives in her own world. But after experiencing her route, I think she's actually just hiding a lot of love inside her.

You first meet Rin when Misha (or Misha/Shizune, depending) gets you to fetch some supplies from the art room. Rin is all alone inside, eating a meal during the afternoon. A hilarious conversation ensues where you learn she likes knowing about people's disabilities. You also discover she's crazy right away. Awesome.

If you wanna get on Rin's route, make sure you never get close to any other girl. Don't show any interest in the library or Shizune, don't think Hanako is cute, play defensively in Risk, avoid going to lunch with any other girls, don't stick up for Lilly during the conflict and don't race Emi. However, make sure you tell Lilly about your heart condition (you don't wanna be a complete douchebag). Since you haven't gotten even kinda close to any girl besides Emi and Lilly, when helping Emi and Rin paint, you won't accompany Emi up to fetch Prussian Blue. You'll stay with Rin and watch her paint. This is the true beginning of the Rin story. Yeah, it's the hardest to get to. What a picky woman.

After watching Rin paint for a while, the art teacher, Nomiya, will show up and ask you what the hell you're doing (basically, lol). Make sure you express your interest in the art club if you wish to be with Rin! If you're a f'ag this late in the game, bad things will happen. Nomiya is happy, Rin doesn't care...and then you spend the entire day watching Rin paint. You also learn she's on her period. I'm not even kidding.

On the final day, at the festival, you meet Rin at her now finished (and incredible) mural. Her legs are seriously hurt from painting all day, so she can't really move and just chills there. You decide to just...chill there with her...all day. Yeah. You just stand there. Chilling. A little bit of pointless discussion, and then you fall asleep. You wake up to the sound of fireworks and Rin sleeping on you (aww). After a bit she wakes up too and you share an insightful conversation. You part ways kinda wondering what just happened, but hopeful for your future with Rin and the art club, nonetheless.

Kind of <3, I guess.

 BAD END (Kenji)

Yeah, this game does have a BAD END, believe it or not.

If you're a complete and total douche to every girl every chance you get, you'll achieve this terrible (but absolutely hilarious) ending with Kenji. It's quite easy to achieve and can be done with many different answers. However, just make sure you're a douche where it matters and you're crystal.

On the final day, you agree to meet Kenji atop the roof to have a MANLY PICNIC. This of course means a picnic between men...with whiskey. Lots of it. You two discuss how women are evil while getting trashed. It all comes to a crashing halt when you fall off the roof in your drunken stupor and die.

Yep, say hello to the beautiful and bloody SPLAT BAD END of Katawa Shoujo. Enjoy being a dead douchebag, you f'ag.

Obviously I left a TON of stuff out, but those summaries were just to give you the main idea and key events during all girl's Chapter 1 route end. Be sure to play them all if you want to experience every detail. If I left anything important out that you feel should be added, let me know. And if I made any mistakes, definitely let me know.

 tl;dr summaries of all endings

Hanako = read books and play chess with Hanako away from everyone else during the festival. Very cute ending, though lacks the power the others do. It will be insanely boring to anyone who doesn't like Hanako. I really liked it, but I guess honestly all it achieves is setting up Hanako route for Chapter 2.

Lilly = meet her sister (Akira), search for Hanako together and watch the fireworks as you look forward to spending more time with her. Very sweet ending, but mainly sets up Lilly route for Chapter 2.

Shizune = join student council, do a buttload of helping for festival, spend festival playing games and eating, finish the day by watching fireworks with Shizune and realizing you love her. Most powerful ending. I would say the best ending because it did much more than just set up the Shizune Chapter 2 route.

Emi = agree to run with her every morning and eat healthy foods, festival ends early because you agree to get up early and run with her. Worst ending by far. Lacks any power, just sets up Emi route for Chapter 2.

Rin = watch her paint, meet art teacher (Nomiya), join art club, spend festival with her standing by her mural, watch fireworks together. Interesting end, though kind of boring. Mainly sets up Rin route for Chapter 2.

BAD END = you die, alone and a douchebag. Need I say more?

 Easy Modo Route Map

Thanks to the Anon that posted/made it.

By choosing those answers to questions, you are guaranteed to achieve your desired girl's ending. However, keep in mind not all questions are vital to staying on a girl's route. You can answer differently to some and it won't matter. Just use your brain and pick answers you know your girl will like, and you should be golden.

 Rare Character Appearances (Akira and Nomiya)

The first one is Lilly's sister, Akira. You will only see her if you achieve the Lilly ending. The second one is the art teacher, Nomiya. You only see him if you achieve the Rin ending. They're characters that have a VERY small role in Chapter 1, so I thought I'd show put them here for easy access.

 100% Completion Image

That's the final image in the Extras' Gallery. You will earn it by getting 100% completion and viewing the Akira scene (only on the Lilly route).

Closing remarks: Incredible visual novel. After just Chapter 1, I can safely say it's one of the best VNs I've ever played. It may not have the absolutely professional quality of mainstream Japanese VNs, but it's an amazing work, especially considering it was started as a project on /a/. I will DEFINITELY play the game again when the full version is released. And I will achieve 100% in EVERY chapter, no matter what. It's so worth it.

There are many unique ways to achieve the endings, and it's very fun to see how answering different to the multitude of questions affects the dialogue and the appearance of the numerous scenes. Have fun and be sure to get that 100% completion. It's absolutely worth it!

10/10.

why emi has legs on that final image?

why emi has legs on that final image?

They're her different pair of prosthetics. She has her running ones and normal ones. She uses them once during the story.

I'm currently working on a massive, much more thorough route map for Chapter 1. I should have it completed sometime this afternoon. When I finish up version1, I'll post it here and ask for help fixing it up, adding missed routes and suggestions.

Look forward to it! lol

OKAY, GUYS. AFTER 4 HOURS, I'M READY TO POST V1 OF MY KS COMPLETE ROUTE MAP. I kinda rushed near the end, just so I could get a copy out finally.

[SPOILER=It's BIG; BRACE IMPACT, ETC]



Want I want from you guys:

Did I miss ANY potential question sets?
How to IMPROVE it

Thank you. Now I'm gonna start revising more thoroughly and experimenting with more possible routes. There's a lot more to be added to make this 100% perfect yet. I want some help.

LET'S FINISH THIS TOGETHER.

Post all that you feel and find.

Edit: V2 up already. Fixed minor text things and line corrections.

Well, the general consensus seems to be that it's too confusing. I thought up this way because I tried simplifying it...I guess that backfired? Instead of doing all the possible links, I got to the core branch areas and then listed the combos to jump into the ending sets.

Ah well. It was a fun way to waste time today. Maybe there's still hope for it later.
