[color=red]What is Katawa Shoujo?[/color]
Katawa Shoujo is a visual novel developed by Four Leaf Studios, a collection of 21 amateur artists, programmers, writers and animators from a number of countries. In calling it a visual novel, what I mean is that Katawa Shoujo "plays" much like a choose your own adventure book, except with pictures and music in addition to the text.
[color=red]What is Katawa Shoujo about?[/color]
Katawa Shoujo is the story of Hisao Nakai (the "playable" character), who is forced to enroll at Yamaku Academy, a high school for people with disabilities (for example, having prosthetic legs, or blindness). While there, he makes friends with some of the students and staff and through them (depending on your choices), learns to live with his disability and the disabilities of others. If you play your cards right, Hisao can even fall in love with one of his female classmates.
[color=red]Is there any sex/nudity in Katawa Shoujo?[/color]
Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, there are certain scenes which contain nudity and sex. However, they are for the most part few and far between, and the general consensus is that they are very tastefully handled. Very little is seen in the way of genitalia (with one notable exception), although breasts are somewhat more common.
There is an option to censor the adult content, which will replace the visuals of the sex scenes with some decidedly humourous alternatives. In saying that though, there will still be some "character portraits" so to speak which will not be censored (though these only show breasts at worst, nothing more).
[color=red]So is this an H-Game?[/color]
In the strictest sense of the term, yes, because it contains H-scenes. However, I want to stress that Katawa Shoujo does not deserve the title H-game, for it's sex scenes are far from gratuitous. It is more like watching a film that happens to have a sex scene in it, rather than watching a porno with a cheesy script thrown in to "justify" itself.
[color=red]I worry about the ages of the characters. Am I reading anything illegal?[/color]
No. It is stated that all the characters in the game are in their last year of high school, which makes it the year they all turn 18. Only one character in the game is shown turning 18, others are mentioned to do so in passing, and any "objectionable" content occurs after said birthdays. All other characters are implied to be of age before the games story begins.
[color=red]I heard that this game is involved with 4chan or /b/. It must be disgusting.[/color]
Firstly, that's not a question, and very judgmental. Secondly, /b/ was not involved in the development of this visual novel at all. The idea was pitched in a thread in the /a/ board, where the various staff members met up and eventually decided to create the game. From that point on, all connections between development and 4chan cease, as the group formed Four Leaf Studios and set up their own means of communication.
