Oh shit, I just totally failed act one. I didn't know I could do that.
I got the bad ending where Hisao falls off the roof.

No. Though it's starting to seem like I might need one to get Rin's route. :\

No fun. NO FUN!
Rin's is probably the hardest to get on without one.

I just fell into hers, it's really not that hard. Just don't pursue the other girls, that's all you have to do really.

imo, flowcharts are fair game since KS kind of dropped the ball when it comes to decisions and their results. Hisao has too much of a personality to make the arbitrary decision points and vague choices work.

That's exactly what I did, but then bad things happened. >_> Anyway, I'm 99% sure I'm on my way to Rin's route this time, unless there is another bad ending for act one. D:
Yeah, the choices are kind of vague like Mass Effect. You pick one, but you are not totally sure what is going to happen or come out of Hisao's mouth.
Correct, you didn't team up on me. However, you certainly tried to guilt trip me.
A Texan and a member of Team Hanako? Awesome.
It just does!
True, changing Hisao's gender wouldn't change how he treated her. Of course the sex scene would have been totally different.
You so horny

I didn't like how Hisao was violently opposed to joining the student council, or the infamous Emi trap.
I like the idea of it -- that the path you get is a culmination of your choices -- but I wasn't so fond of the execution.

Well then...
Well, I chose Lily over Shizune, but avoided Hanako, so that might help.

This, fuck Hisao, I don't get why he was so opposed it just got to be kinda annoying in the end . I feel his presence at times can be a bit overbearing.

That wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't tried to combine it with a natural(ish) progression structure. It's like they wanted to write a traditional narrative, but refused to let go of the VN format so they just duct taped them together.

Rin's FMV was definitely the most interesting one I've seen so far.
Nothing. Nothing at all. *slowly backs out of the room*

Make sure you remember certain details from it. It's definitely my favorite by far, and just thinking about it makes me a little sad.

I agree for the most part, but a strong main character shouldn't have its decisions made by a random observer at seemingly arbitrary intervals.
But you don't really make Hisao's decisions for him so much as you decide what kind of person Hisao is, if that makes any sense. In Act 1, anyway.

Awe, there there.
I only said it because I knew you'd post that .gif.Rin in general gives me a sad feeling.

what the fuck happened here that people are now exchanging 3DS friendcodes?!
only have one friend who has a 3DS
I asked the very same question.

The problem is that Hisao is already his own person before the player intervenes. So the result is kind of the opposite of what they intended.
Rin and Shizune are two good examples. Your choices lead to you hanging out with them, but then Hisao ends up whining about it in the narration and/or the dialogue.
Awe, there there.
Damn her! She played me like a fool!

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Prepare for awesome.
well, the reason it seemed short was because when things just started to get interesting is the time when it ended, which is a shame really since it feels like theres possibly more after the ending.

I wouldn't say super short, but the lack of even an epilogue was disappointing.
Maybe they are saving the rest of the story for Katawa Shoujo 2. Believe!
For those interested, Cpl. Crud (the writer of Hanako's route) did an epilogue for her story on his blog. It's not really considered canon but it's an interesting read nonetheless.

Why did I read all of that? Why...
Edit: Wait, that's based on Hanako's neutral ending? What?

Fairly certain this is based on the good ending.
I hope he makes a part III, I loved reading through his epilogue, even if they created feelings and man-tears.

What's been read cannot be unread. ;_;
In the comments he says it's based on the neutral ending.

Well, I finally got around to finishing my first story, but man, I wish it went on longer. Rin's story was great. I have a hard time putting how I felt about it into words, so I just leave it at that. Rin's frighteningly similar to me
I think I'll take a little break for a bit before I go down a different path, so I can bask in this... um... can't think of the word for it... Anyways I'll probably go with Shizune for something completely different next time.
so it was a little weird during the sex scene. Like I was having sex with myself, only the other me has boobs... Well it was a touching moment anyways.

I just read the letter from Hanako's father. It was good, I liked it. Not as saddening as I thought it would be. But nonetheless, still kinda emotional. I won't read the other stuff cause it isn't canon. Only non canon stuff I accept is the Sonia stuff from Castlevania legends.
Off topic, Why you still salty Billy??? And yes, I know I'm awesome Femme, in fact we're both awesome....soo awesome you might replace billy as my fav now. By the way, I'm going to add all the friend codes that were posted in here just to let ya'll know.
Now that I think about it...I guess I should admit that yess, I used the flowchart for all other girls except for Hanako. Wanted to make my first attempt at a VN count, which feels good since I got the good end without trouble.
