I've been wanting to do a route-by-route retrospective of Four Leaf Studio's cult classic visual novel, Katawa Shoujo, for a very, very long time and I think I'm at a point in my experience level doing this where I want to finally get started.

I am going to release videos for each route between other things that I do on YouTube. I look at them as being pretty major projects so I'm going to take my time with them.

I'd like it if you thought of this first video as being like an amuse-bouche: Something to set the stage for larger things to come. We're going to go over the first act of the story as I would play it as well as cover details such as soundtrack and art direction here so we can avoid those subjects from deviating from character analysis in videos where unnecessary.

I hope you enjoy this video: It's the first step of a long journey for me and I'd be honored if you came along for the ride.

I apologize in advance if I made any mispronunciations.

Katawa Shoujo is a free visual novel and can be downloaded here:
