@le Hoarderz Al-Shekelsteins I played this after ddlc and honestly I like this more although keep in mind there are quite a lot of things that I like less than this.
@@miguelarturopalomaresruiz I thought that at one point, but then I replayed it and saw that the message was more of an embrace-the-world deal. Live in the moment, not the past.
... i played this like 5 years ago... found it again while looking for some VN to spend some time during the quarantine... and I just had to listen to this song... Good memories, some sad, some happy...
I wish I could forget all about this 'game' so I could never play it. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, and the character are all very lovely. Especially Lilly. But ever since I played it, I feel more miserable than ever.
jayive34 It took me a few months to finally get back to normal after finishing it. If you didn't get a happy ending, definitely play it again and get it. Lilly is apparently the hardest character to succeed with if that's any consolation. It helped me to recognize that this kind of love story is "perfect" and rarely ever happens in real life.
Collin Simpson I also feel like Jayive34, after finishing this game I haven't been the same. I wish I never played but also am grateful I did. I've changed for good ever since this game. I may not be showing it these moments but I know I will.
This is the song you encounter when first entering the game; it opens up your soul, lets the game fuck it mercilessly, and then taunts you when the game is finished. Masterfully done.
I dont know why, but since the first time i open this game i feel incredibly nostalgic, even i never had played this game before 2020, every time i open it and heard this song and see the tittle screen i feel like i going back in time
just finished katawa shoujo for the first time, with the route i got following my own decisions. i am no longer the same man i was when i first downloaded the game
@Speed_Zamaa no cap, same for me blind run got emi, second one Lilly but Rin... I dunno if I want to do the other routes after that masterpiece of an ending
Уже прошёл 2 рута этой игры и как же круто, что всех нас здесь переполняют одни и те же эмоции, и даже люди, которые проходили эту игру 12 лет назад, испытывали эти же чувства.. На душе становится легче, когда мы все тут друг друга понимаем даже спустя 12 лет
Feels like a message from all of the routes: Hanako: You are not alone Lily: You are not strange Rin: You are you Emi: Everyone has damage Shizune: Be the better person
Wiosna, the Polish spring, a time where all that was dead returns to us, better and brighter, ready to begin anew. There is no fitter name for this piece, it starts with thin, cold notes representing the winter, then descends into a warm, gentle melody, representing the Spring. Very much like Hisao, coming from the winter into the spring, in terms of actual time and metaphorically returning to life from his apathy. Being reborn in the arms of another. God, if there was one word to describe this VN, then it would be Wiosna, Spring, the rebirth.
Those high notes in the beginning... It feels like... How should I put this... It felt like it pierced through my soul, then opened it up. Shortly after, the lower notes and guitar came in and filled it with a warm, calming feeling... Something tells me I should play this game. :P
@@Isegawa2001 same bro. Its been a year and I have tried to start playing lillys route but it just feels off cuz its not what i would actualy do. i like working out alot so it feels wrong ignoring emi and the doctor guy. Hopefully i will be able to play another route soon
It's been like 5 years since I finished this game and all my memories eith Emi are still stuck in my mind like they were yetserday, and hearing this for the first time in ages? Ah, bliss...
bro i got emi on my first run like a year ago, and im still so attached that I cant even play another route without feeling weird. every time i hear this song the feeling is so bittersweet
I said it was bullshit when people echoed “I was prepared to fap, but not to feel” because I’ve never gotten too far with visual novels and didn’t get their point. But boy was I wrong. I pondered for a while at why I was so torn after EMI’s “Bad Route (bad)”. Even after finishing her “Bad Route (good)” I was left wondering what this felling was. But then I came across a comment that explained it saying “It wasn’t real, that was the reason”. Also side note, I also can’t seem to touch the game and witness the other routes as I haven’t felt this feeling in a while nor was I ready
I never thought a virtual novel or anything to do with anime would ever have this much impact on me as a person. The only reason I started exercising and taking care of myself was because of this game. Weird to think about how playing this probably saved me from ending up as what I could only call a total failure. That was like.. almost five or seven years ago from me writing this now. Fuck, man.
every anime i've watched shaped me today, those were 1 year ago. now i feel old because of how out-of-touch the animes i watched are. i like where i'm going now.
Funnily enough, it was Katawa Shoujo that propelled me into the world of anime back in early 2019. I had always dismissed anime as some hobby that only weirdos indulged in, but after finishing Katawa Shoujo and the first season of The Rising of the Shield Hero, I was hooked. It's an absolutely beautiful world to be a part of and I cannot be more grateful that Katawa Shoujo let me go there and explore a new side to myself. I'm happy for you man. Experiences like these open our minds and give us new perspectives. Your comment would have likely made Raide, the director of the game, very happy if he were still around. Hope you're still doing okay.
I've read a lot of visual novels.... Romance, horror, mysteries, psychological stories or just genral western stories... But yet this one still stands superior.
to be fair there could be a parallel universe of anything i just hope it is as good as the game we got, and i hope alternate universe me is interested in anime and watches it
Do you see them? All these people who write how this game changed their lives. It's such strange phenomena. I frequently notice it in comment sections of VN-affiliated videos. Such observation must imply that I'm too was affected severely by visual novel or few of them. I am. This is so strange. I think it caused mostly by loneliness of those people. Just some losers trying to compensate their lack of social interaction. They wouldn't do it if it didn't work. I'm no exception. All the time it feels like only different stories whether they are a game or book or movie will provide me some fix for my social starvation. All these emotions will go only to fictional characters. It's almost like a mental illness but I'm afraid I wouldn't survive otherwise.
This VN changed my life in a very tangible manner. Had I not read/played it, I would not have met my best friend. Beyond that, there is something about this work that feels like "home" to me. I cannot explain it, but an approximation is that it feels like a time capsule of the thoughts and emotions I had during simpler times in my life. I love it dearly.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this title, I also didn't remember seeing Polish as an available translation. I felt kinda happy to see my language being used where I least expected it.
Finished Katawa Shoujo for the first time a few months ago. It still hurts man. I don't understand how I've lived my entire life without this VN. Damn.
Those parts when Rin spontaneously cries were some of the most...enthralling for me, because like her there are times when I have tears appear that cannot be explained. Rin helped me realize that you sometimes can't explain things, how words merely corrupt the revelations that occur withing our minds. It's times like this i begin to wish I had emotions, logic is meaningless without that deeper level of understanding
To move past what makes you pitiable, and try with all your soul to be someone reliable. Whether it's missing arms or legs, blindness or deafness, or scars - inside or out - we try for a future where we're not defined by them, not victimized by them, not pitied for them. That our children can smile without thinking, "my parents, they're too weak". That someone can come into our lives - by force or gradually - and take the self-pity or self-hatred we've been drowning in, and, be it with a bucket or their hands, drain that sorrow and despair. That we don't have to keep licking one another's wounds, and can be strengthened once more. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For Thou are with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me."
i recommend playing alpha shizune route, if you haven't read either yet Release version of her route is basically a thinned down alpha version, though alpha is a hefty bit more sad/heavy, though you don't get the illustrations, the rest is pretty awesome in my opinion
Каждый раз возвращаясь сюда, я испытываю яркую, благоговейную тоску. Невероятное чувство, перемешанное радостью и грустью. В моих воспоминаниях коридоры школы, ребята, любимая девушка из этого визуального романа стали к ряду с моими собственными воспоминаниями из жизни. Словно я сам всё это пережил и каждый раз, возвращаясь к этим воспоминаниям, тоскую об ушедшем. Наша жизнь, однообразная, скучная, наполненная рутиной, разочарованиями и суровой действительностью, не может даже и сравниться с яркостью жизни людей с ограниченными возможностями из этого произведения. Хотя казалось бы, рецепт счастья прост, здесь нет ничего сверх-реалистичного. Но, к сожалению, не может наша жизнь предоставить нам такую большую концентрацию прекрасных, добрых и "уютных" людей, не испортив всё заурядными, злыми, мерзкими людьми с их отвратительными поступками.
My favourite route is Lily's, it makes me so happy and then without holding back kicks me down to the depths of sadness. Partly because of the story and partly because I wish I had something like that.
Finished the steam release today, went with Hanako cause she'll always be my favorite. I tell ya, when you open up that menu and this hits...it feels like you're coming home.
Brah, I hope in 5 years time you'll find your own IRL Rin/Hanako/Lilly/Shizune/Emi/Misha? and that when you hear this song, you'll realise that it was this game which made you a better person for yourself and those who you love. You'll never play the game again because it has served its purpose but the music will make you shed a tear while smiling a little.
I just realized that this song warm my heart, I don't know how to put it, I feel happy but I feel more sad than happy, and it's because I miss those times where I came from school on Friday and I always said "well, it's time to continue" and then play until 2 or 3 am, also when I was playing the game on dates close to Christmas (At that time I was not very good at reading, so it took me a while to finish a route) while totally warm and with headphones I enjoyed the songs and the scenes, crying at sad scenes and smiling at happy scenes, free of worries from school, just enjoying my youth thinking that it would never end, and that thought is what makes me sad, to know that everything has an end and will eventually come, I would have liked the game to be eternal, to enjoy it whenever I want without worries that it will eventually end.
This game took a part of me away that I'll never get back, but at the same time I'm glad that I don't get to. When I played it over a decade ago, it gave me a sympathy to the disabled that allowed me to treat them as equals, which is something most kids don't really do. Playing it again, just a few days ago, It makes thinking about how my own disabled girlfriend must feel, and how I should think about her, much easier. I thank this game for helping with my life, twice now.
Этот трек так прекрасен, что заставляет меня плакать. Ну почему вче не может быть так же легко и бесмятежно как в новелле? Что не так с жизнью? Почему все не может быть так прекрасно?? Я играю 10 часов и только что вышел на 4-й акт 'Будущее' с Лилли. Эта история прекрасна. А я ведь ещё не прошёл до конца даже 1 рут. Ну почему все не может быть так же хорошо как там?.... Очень трогательно. Трогательно то, что этого не может быть в нашей реальности. Арты, музыка, спрайты,все это позволяет погрузить в нереальный мир. Который я уверен хочет каждый. Но из за его нереальности всем только остаётся выдумывать его, жить в воспоминаниях, памяти, голове. А не в настоящем. Как я. Мне зовётся жить так. Но этого всего не может быть. Такой истории не бывает в реальности. Всё здесь плохо, грустно и угрюмо. Серо и без цветное. Здесь нельзя испытать эмоции которые можно получить в сюжете новелл. Например этой же. Катсцены тоже очень трогательны. Особенно с Лилли, Ханако, и Сизунэ наверное. Лилли... Я думаю что она увидела и подумала что потеряла нас.. Или увидела одиночество. Когда в катсцене мы уходили из кафе..Волновалась за нас. Но нащупала. И фон который меняется с города, на закат на поле пшеницы.... Очень мило и трогательно. И по сюжету приблизительно все так и происходит. Мы находим её на поле... Признаем ся в чувствах... Слышим ка она нас любит и не хочет терять... Ну почему это не может быть реальностью... 😭😭 Хочет я ужем сказал почему😭😭😭 Порой так и хочется уйти... Из ж*зни. Попасть туда, где можно почувствовать то, что ты хочешь. Этот и другой сюжет который тебе понравился. Или попасть в игру. Чего хотят многие. И забыть об этом мире навсегда. Остаться там, где хорошо, спокойно, и симпатично. Испытывать такие же чувства, что прописаны по сюжету в игре. Например этой же игры Katawa Shoujo на руте Лилли..... 😭😭😭 Воссоздать то, что хотим мы. Что может нас улыбнуть, и остаётся с любимой. Который ты подбили в игре. Ту же Лилли например, или других персонажей. И из других новелл... Игр....😓😞😣😱😖😣😞😞
Man, I love this game. Everything, the art, the writing, the OST, it's all so beautiful. There wasn't a single bit of this game I thought was bad. And the menu theme is so relaxing. If I play a really frustrating game like I Wanna Be The Guy or Cat Mario, I can always listen to this music and relax.
After playing through any game once, some song will be one of those that'll make you feel certain a way. And even if several years have passed since I placed Katawa, my heart still aches the moment I hear the first four notes and my eyes start to water. God damn, why is this melody so beautiful...
After completing all of the routes for the first time years ago, when I went back to the menu and this played, I was hit with such strong emotion. Seeing all the memories from the routes show up there just gave me a level of nostalgia that made no sense since I had only just finished. This whole VN is such a wonderful experience. Over the years I come back and play through it again and again, and it's still such a moving story. Katawa Shoujo is truly a gem and needs more recognition
It's fine, I think it just happens when people resonate with a certain thing, just because you didn't have the same resonace as others doesn't mean, you wouldn’t be able to in other aspects. Hope, you do well bro.
I started the game,heard the song and though "its nice" then i completed hanako's path,after all the tears,wiosna cames again in the menu and i just pause,breathlessly,the tears have been shed again.
@Armadan7 I agree. If you listen closely, there is what sounds like an ambulance siren in the background, after the initial piano solo and just when the guitar starts, which persists throughout the rest of the song. I think it's definitely about his time in the hospital and the new hope once he gets out. I also feel it represents the essence of the whole game: happy yet melancholy, yet still hopeful and philosophical, still optimistic.
I'd have to agree. As much as I'd like to see the creators get the recognition they deserve, (which they already have) It's a very personal experience I treasure, that I alone want to remember and cherish along with a small few. Even Hanako's good ending was was alot to take. My feels...

I just realized that this song warm my heart, I don't know how to put it, I feel happy but I feel more sad than happy, and it's because I miss those times where I came from school on Friday and I always said "well, it's time to continue" and then play until 2 or 3 am, also when I was playing the game on dates close to Christmas (At that time I was not very good at reading, so it took me a while to finish a route) while totally warm and with headphones I enjoyed the songs and the scenes, crying at sad scenes and smiling at happy scenes, free of worries from school, just enjoying my youth thinking that it would never end, and that thought is what makes me sad, to know that everything has an end and will eventually come, I would have liked the game to be eternal, to enjoy it whenever I want without worries that it will eventually end.
Man, I still get the feels just listening to this
Anyone who has played through KS gets this special feeling while listening to this. It can be sad or good, sometimes both
This game took a part of me away that I'll never get back, but at the same time I'm glad that I don't get to. When I played it over a decade ago, it gave me a sympathy to the disabled that allowed me to treat them as equals, which is something most kids don't really do.
Playing it again, just a few days ago, It makes thinking about how my own disabled girlfriend must feel, and how I should think about her, much easier. I thank this game for helping with my life, twice now.
Dandelions bloom in the spring, dandelions and spring have a few things to relate in Rin's route.
Этот трек так прекрасен, что заставляет меня плакать.
Ну почему вче не может быть так же легко и бесмятежно как в новелле? Что не так с жизнью? Почему все не может быть так прекрасно??
Я играю 10 часов и только что вышел на 4-й акт 'Будущее' с Лилли.
Эта история прекрасна. А я ведь ещё не прошёл до конца даже 1 рут.
Ну почему все не может быть так же хорошо как там?....
Очень трогательно. Трогательно то, что этого не может быть в нашей реальности.
Арты, музыка, спрайты,все это позволяет погрузить в нереальный мир. Который я уверен хочет каждый. Но из за его нереальности всем только остаётся выдумывать его, жить в воспоминаниях, памяти, голове. А не в настоящем. Как я. Мне зовётся жить так. Но этого всего не может быть. Такой истории не бывает в реальности. Всё здесь плохо, грустно и угрюмо. Серо и без цветное. Здесь нельзя испытать эмоции которые можно получить в сюжете новелл. Например этой же.
Катсцены тоже очень трогательны. Особенно с Лилли, Ханако, и Сизунэ наверное.
Лилли... Я думаю что она увидела и подумала что потеряла нас.. Или увидела одиночество. Когда в катсцене мы уходили из кафе..Волновалась за нас. Но нащупала. И фон который меняется с города, на закат на поле пшеницы.... Очень мило и трогательно. И по сюжету приблизительно все так и происходит. Мы находим её на поле... Признаем ся в чувствах... Слышим ка она нас любит и не хочет терять...
Ну почему это не может быть реальностью... 😭😭 Хочет я ужем сказал почему😭😭😭
Порой так и хочется уйти... Из ж*зни. Попасть туда, где можно почувствовать то, что ты хочешь. Этот и другой сюжет который тебе понравился. Или попасть в игру. Чего хотят многие. И забыть об этом мире навсегда. Остаться там, где хорошо, спокойно, и симпатично. Испытывать такие же чувства, что прописаны по сюжету в игре. Например этой же игры
Katawa Shoujo на руте Лилли..... 😭😭😭
Воссоздать то, что хотим мы. Что может нас улыбнуть, и остаётся с любимой. Который ты подбили в игре. Ту же Лилли например, или других персонажей. И из других новелл... Игр....😓😞😣😱😖😣😞😞
О Господи, я нашёл кого-то, кто полностью описал мои эмоции, давай плакать вместе.
First time I ever played KS I just sat there listening to this for about 5 minutes or so
This is a total must-play of a VN
Man, I love this game. Everything, the art, the writing, the OST, it's all so beautiful. There wasn't a single bit of this game I thought was bad. And the menu theme is so relaxing. If I play a really frustrating game like I Wanna Be The Guy or Cat Mario, I can always listen to this music and relax.
This game is pure humanity. Nothing comes close to rivaling it in that respect for me.
About to go on my last route(Lily's route). So why am I nostalgic for a game I'm still playing
Sadly i cant listen this on spotify. I saw album with OST of this game, but music blocked for unknown reasons :( this music is so good
After playing through any game once, some song will be one of those that'll make you feel certain a way. And even if several years have passed since I placed Katawa, my heart still aches the moment I hear the first four notes and my eyes start to water. God damn, why is this melody so beautiful...
Holy shit, it took me 2 years to realize that it's not some cool made-up word, but just spring in Polish
God, I feel so dumb rn
I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that I played this and finished this while going through puberty
I cannot actually recall hearing this theme until I finished Lilly's story. Like that was the moment where I was really aware of it.
After completing all of the routes for the first time years ago, when I went back to the menu and this played, I was hit with such strong emotion. Seeing all the memories from the routes show up there just gave me a level of nostalgia that made no sense since I had only just finished.
This whole VN is such a wonderful experience. Over the years I come back and play through it again and again, and it's still such a moving story.
Katawa Shoujo is truly a gem and needs more recognition
It's been 7 years or more since I played KS and this song brought back so much nostalgia
Almost 10 now, God damn time goes by so quickly
In Polish ,,Wiosna" means spring,
In Russian too
@@dead_unicorn6074 no, in russian spring is "viesna"
It means the same in russian.
When you hear this song, you know you're gonna have a good time c:
Love this game so much.
You say good time i say heartbroken and depressed
Too :'/
Bro the piano hits just as hard as Gwyn's Theme from Dark Souls. I felt raw emotion in this one.
right in the feels
I never thought this would be so nostalgic, i'm almost in tears.
I feel like an outcast, everyone seemed to shed tears over Katawa Shoujo except me.
An oddball I am indeed.
It's fine, I think it just happens when people resonate with a certain thing, just because you didn't have the same resonace as others doesn't mean, you wouldn’t be able to in other aspects.
Hope, you do well bro.
I played Rin's route in january. I'm now emotionaly ready for a second route. 6 months after.
This exact thing happened to me, except like 8 years later. Nice.
Ahh fuck, it genuinely is like being transported through a Time Machine
Listening to this affects my soul.
Oh god.This game gave me the feels
My god. This game is a masterpiece. You can tell just by the MAIN MENU song.
It made me shed manly tears.
I just set this as the alarm on my phone, so I can start the day with the right mindset
- of breaking down in tears
11 years of bright memories
One does not simply forget about Katawa Shoujo
God its only been a month since I played this and that menu music is bringing back all the memories
the most recent comment I've found. i finished all the routes last night and man this hits so different
oh the memories...
It's been 10 whole years...
Aint it hard to believe.
To another 10
That bittersweet feel of hearing this song playing at the main menu after getting the good end of a route.
Born to feel…
I love the songs from this game because it makes me feel relaxed even after some hard times😊
I started the game,heard the song and though "its nice" then i completed hanako's path,after all the tears,wiosna cames again in the menu and i just pause,breathlessly,the tears have been shed again.
Rin's neutral ending gave me all the feels in the world.
this game is a piece of art that i will never be able to forget
@Armadan7 I agree. If you listen closely, there is what sounds like an ambulance siren in the background, after the initial piano solo and just when the guitar starts, which persists throughout the rest of the song. I think it's definitely about his time in the hospital and the new hope once he gets out.
I also feel it represents the essence of the whole game: happy yet melancholy, yet still hopeful and philosophical, still optimistic.
This..isn't just some H-game. This is something more. How many games have caused us to feel such strong emotions? I doubt there are many.
Fajnie, że na główne wzięli coś naszego.
This song makes me so tense yet so relaxed. It makes me want to cry.
Лампово тепло на душе сразу)
Ты жив?
SO WHOS READY TO CRY AGAIN, I KNOW I AM
everything I do, I do for her
I'd have to agree. As much as I'd like to see the creators get the recognition they deserve, (which they already have) It's a very personal experience I treasure, that I alone want to remember and cherish along with a small few. Even Hanako's good ending was was alot to take. My feels...
You know you did a damn good job as a composer if a 1 minute piano song can reduce you to tears.
-sniff- shit.. ;__;
Bloody hell I'm glad I heard about this game, not afraid to say it made me cry...Emi Path here...
This theme, feels so nostalgic for some reason, this game's soundtrack just knows how to make me feel stuff...
Sitting at the main menu for so long after completing Hanako's route... Oh, the memories!
I can't believe it's been over 10 years
-Cere-Bro
Man am i becoming old? Like i could remember being younger then a anime character now i am older then them why the time is moving fast
I gotta agree. Rin's path kind of hits me... On a personal level.
This is much more than normal game. It changes people i make them cry and remember to help the disabled people. We need more games like Katawa Shoujo
