IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues.
Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe.Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).
Might be someone thing? Can't hate on something that is free and had a $0 budget.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: It?s cute, funny and one of a kind among most of the internet. Katawa Shoujo is a unique, entertaining piece of literature. For example, one path only has one choice to make throughout the rest of the game (which determines what ending you get) and another path gives you several choices, but only the last one you make matters anyway. While there are plenty of choices in the first act (which determines which girl you go out with), the paths become relatively straightforward afterwards. Not Much of a Tree: The previous two visual novels that I reviewed had approximately ten times more choice than this.
And the anime-styled cut-scenes at the beginning of each story path are quite impressive too, considering this game had a budget of $0. It?s not the biggest thing to worry about in a visual novel, but the presentation of graphics and sound feels right. Speaking of Presentation: All of the game?s backdrop art is lovingly crafted and the game?s soundtrack is relaxing and fun. It?s a minor thing, but in a visual novel being able to skip to parts of it like a normal book is definitely worth a few bonus points. Third, like I?ve also said, the scenes focus on the individual traits of each girl.Ĭollect All The Things: The game tracks every individual scene, artwork, music or FMV shown to you, and at any time you can go back and see everything you?ve already done. Second, as I?ve already said, the disabilities do not matter, making no real differences to the scenes in general. First, an option allows you to turn off adult scenes entirely.
Each storyline reveals something new about the characters and there is never a shortage of plot twists.Īdult Themes: Like the rest of the game, the adult side of everything is handled extremely well in three ways. Individuality: Each of the main heroines is completely different ? each of them has their own personality with unique traits and differences. This part of the storytelling simply couldn?t be handled better. The story focuses on the personalities of the individual girls, not on their disabilities.
The Disabilities Do Not Matter: The story and general tone of Katawa Shoujo treats disabilities in the best way possible ? they have no real impact on what?s happening ? they do not insult the disabled. It?s certainly an interesting experiment, but does it actually work? Kotaku reader Ben Latimore shares his thoughts on the game. Katawa Shoujo: a rather unusual romp with a cast of several disabled girls, created with no budget by a bunch of 4channers.
