Dunno, but even Portkins linked it to me, saying I should play it.

Arcc: Port everyone is telling me to play this game.
Me: It looks like one of those shitty hentai dating sim thigns
Arcc: Yeah.
Me: Let's make Arthy play it.
Arcc: Lolk

I don't even know why I like Katawa Soujo so much, I just do. Maybe it's because I have a deep rooted fetish for disabled people, who knows.

It's the second most played game on Reddit.

What would the first be? I'm going to guess Skyrim?
Not much of a Reddit fan, myself.

You guessed it. I think the one of the reasons why this game is catching on popularity is because of how the game ended up getting developed. Interesting story

"The game originated in a sketch created by Japanese doujinshi artist Raita.[3][4] From January 2007, the sketch was discussed extensively on the 4chan image board, and a development group was assembled from users of 4chan and other internet communities. The group took the name Four Leaf Studios (based on 4chan's logo). On April 29, 2009, the team released an "Act One" preview.[5] Act 1 has since been updated for several additional languages; As of v5, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian, German, Hungarian, and both Traditional and Simplified Chinese are included. As of January 4, 2012, the full game has been released in English only.
Following the game's release, Four Leaf Studios announced it had no plans for its members to collaborate on any new projects.[6]

Popculture is always late.

[Silver Knight]

It got mass downloaded on tpb and it went completely viral. Some things take awhile to become viral.

[Plunger]

Obligatory.

Hahaha oh wow

I really have no idea why it's so popular all of a sudden.

As for the game its self, it's well written, the characters are believable and really cool, and their disabilities arn't fetishised or anything (people over re-act).

Why people might find the game romantic? Because it draws peple in with personal connections and then makes them want to help whoever or the whole 'your disability doesn't matter because I love YOU" thing goin on.

As some one who's legally blind IRL (sup i'm lily), if anyone was to like me romantically it wouldn't be because they have a fetish for blind people, it'de be because of me personally or my looks/style; boh of these are not lacking because of their disabilities ergo it really isn't about sexual attraction towards disabilities.

Anyways, rant. Figured you might want to hear the opinion on KS from some one who is actually disabled.
