My story: I played the game and enjoyed it.

My story: I played the game, was depressed as fuck, wanted to kill myself first 2 days and then everything turned back to normal again

I can imagine Hanako starting to give less of a shit about people as her BAC rises.

[QUOTE=RoflKawpter;34528041]I had this really fucked up dream last night where i was looking at the Rin storyline flowchart and there was a part that said "I'll never understand, but you'll pay." It was a mixture between an episode of Dexter and Katawa Shoujo. Because my post mysteriously disappeared when I posted it, it's going on be shorter but whatever.
But it basically consider of me knocking our Rin, and cutting her up in pieces while Hisaoss dad was there helping. Apparently my mind as really fucked that night. The cop showed up and so Hisaos dad got the attention of them and ran away with them chasing him. while I was cutting up Rin, and she as crying and I as ust monotone cutting her up. I really fucking think my mind was on drugs last night.[/QUOTE]
I think saya no uta might be more appropriate for you than katawa shoujo based on your post here.
edit: but then again i [url=http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=5538]wrote an affectionate parody of i have no mouth and i must scream using this game for the concept[/url] so i'm not really one to talk i guess, i'm only really doing it because i like writing things that evoke reactions from people though

I played it and am not depressed.

God damn it so it was just me?
I wasn't particularly affected one way or the other.
[QUOTE=luckycandy;34535913]God damn it so it was just me?[/QUOTE]
the game pretty much brought me back from the pits of depression so... your mileage may vary i guess :geno:
Pretty much what Doomish said, I felt pretty moved by this game to improve myself.
i felt sad and stuff, but i wasn't compelled to change my life or anything
it kind of reminded me not to take people for granted i guess
sometimes it seems like i treat people close to me worse than complete strangers, and I'm trying to fix that.
Got through the last of KS over the past three days, having a terrible case of the Flu.
I cried a bit in the last thread in regards to how I felt after completing Emi's (and then Rin's - who I was hoping to get first,) route.
I've got a lot to say, mostly things which would bring on the whole "We know that feel" and people hugging, so I'll probably avoid that to save some time. But, once I had completed the final route left, Shizune's, I was left with a bit of uncertainty, which has made me feel sad.
I've always been quick to become attached to characters whenever I've read (I read a lot) which is most likely why I've had such a hard time letting go of VN's in the past, of the very few I've had the pleasure of experiencing. But during those final few seconds as the credits finished, I felt uncertain regarding the future of the girls.
I like to think that, in most of the cases, it would be a mostly "Happy ever after" thing, which Hisao and his love living and being together. But having reached Shizune's ending, [sp]they make it sound as if they would be parting ways. Misha is going oversea's, but Shizune makes it adamant that they will see eachother before the 10 year ceremony. That sort of implies that they don't expect to be together, or as physically close.[/sp]
I'm usually left thinking of books I've finished or VN's that I've experienced for a few hours after finishing, but KS seems to be having a different effect on me entirely. I've been over in the last thread why I've been able to relate and understand what's going on, and that those who poured their talents in to the development of KS must have some sort of relation/experience too. But since I started it, over a week ago, I've hardly been able to think of little else, even with having a otherwise completely filled life at the moment (In terms of shit going on, finishing University and all that.) It's unsettling me a bit.
Five years it took for KS to reach the point it has now, and for obvious reasons I'm left feeling sort of bad in regards to the situation with 4LS. Like a author that has managed to keep me interested in his writings, I still want more from them, but not for my own entertainment or for a piece of mind, but to see them carry on.
Regardless of the fact that I seem to have had practically perfect endings all around, I've still got this feeling of sadness, or envy, or something along those lines, even though I have no need to be feeling such things.
I might just be thinking too much about it though. I've consumed my weight in codeine for the past two days, and the fever isn't helping.
My partner wanted to know what iw as up to, and after him having looked up Katawa Shoujo for a bit, he laughed at the idea of "Cripple sex sim." I found this funny, considering that I've got pretty clear memories of me laughing at people back in 2007, and then again when Act 1 was released, out of sheer boredom and just urge to piss people off, and then again whenever news posts about KS were made a few months back, even though I knew full well that it would end up being something I was interested in (considering I'd been keeping tabs on it for practically years also made it pretty obvious.)
What I find funny, is that only after he halfheartedly, with no actual meaning or insult, said it was a cripple sex sim a few hours back, did that term (or anything resembling it) cross my mind whilst going through each of the routes. But like somebody answered/confirmed in the last thread, the reason behind that has to do with my own upbringing and experiences.
You'd think having a horrendous case of the Flu and being knocked full of codeine would have made me actually tired, yet here I am at 3:30AM trying to professionally say;
'dem feels man

[QUOTE=Novangel]oneofus, etc etc[/QUOTE]
I think one of the reasons this game made me so happy was because I needed it. I'd become disillusioned, jaded against the real world because I'm in a transitional period in my life and I feel hopelessly lost. I had nothing interesting in my life at about the time I played KS, and everything was chaotic with me scrambling to find out just what I want to do with my life and what I was going to do after school, and I was about ready to just give up, but then I found something to believe in.
KS showed me that life really is worth living, and what you decide to do with it matters. I was just about ready to go downtown and hop right in front of a Grayhound but then something as simple as a visual novel about disabled girls changed all that. By the end of my first playthrough I believed in Hisao as a person because he turned into the guy that got the girl based on what I told him to do, and I thought, if he can change, why can't I change? Why can't I forget my past and live for the future? And then I decided that, maybe I could.
So I did! The next day, I put my thoughts into practice and refined my personality to basically a fine point, taking the necessary steps to get out of whatever pit I'd fallen into, and it worked surprisingly well. I didn't have a single bad thought as I replayed KS night after night to make the girls and Hisao and myself even happier, and I felt even more uplifted when I finally finished it and realized just how much I'd accomplished that week.
I'd basically turned my life right around on its heel and it was all thanks to a good story I downloaded from the internet. I just can't get over how much the game affected me, it's so strange but so comforting. I was once told by my last girlfriend (ironically the one that started my depression in the first place) that I was emotionally weak, and I needed to change or I would just stay a doormat for my whole life, and Katawa Shoujo gave me the motivation I needed to do something about it. I became a happier person, I smiled more often, I exercise on a regular basis, I'm more socially outreaching, I got a raise at work; it just never stops.
So, that's my story. I think I told it in the last thread too. It makes me a little sad to see that people are actually getting MORE saddened by the game but there's not much I can do about that I guess. All I can do is tell you not to let Hisao's new life bother you, because you're the one controlling it in the first place!
Don't worry bout me doomish i always get sad after reading a good book or playing a good game. [sp]I was in tear when hisao was running to the airport to catch Lilly and stop her from taking the summons back to Scotland[/sp] Clinical depression aside, i thought this was a really good game and i [B]definitely[/B] pay for a sequel/follow up. Hell if anything, i might be inspired to make it myself. The sequel being you playing the son of you and girl you choose in the first game.

I love you
I don't think anyone's said this in the thread, but here goes:
If you've had feels (good or bad), and want to talk about them, I'm there for you bro.
Anybody else notice the rise in suicide rates for men aged 18-24 the day after this game was released?
