  This follows the controversy over another visual novel called 'Rapelay' which Taina Bien-Aime, Executive Director of Equality Now, called "An abomination," continuing to say "These type of games have no place in our society, we are working with community leaders and government to stop the spread of toxic games like Disability Girls (Katawa Shoujo)".

  
  
  Rapelay wasn't even a visual novel.
  
  To see this wonderful game being squandered like this makes me incredibly sad.
  
  Edit: This article is fake.

  It's from a parody news site; the related articles are "Steve Jubs and Tupac release new album, Iphone 7" and "How to print fake money at home."
  
  I would be curious to hear what you think of the game after you finish a few routes though, so do post your reactions. :3

  Everyone already did, once they finished all routes. Somewhere in this thread...
  
  But generally speaking I liked Hanako, Lilly, and Rin's routes. Wasn't a huge fan of Emi's, and I found Shizune's boring.
  
  Anyways, it seems CNN thought the article was real and reported it.

  Emi was my favorite. Lilly my next favorite. Not so much a fan of Hanako's, but hers comes in next. Shizune's... it's pretty boring and I never was interested in Shizune whatsoever, only Misha, and Misha isn't even possible. And Rin, well... she's cool, but I have zero interest for her.
  
  Emi
  Lilly
  Hanako
  
  That order, for me.

  I think what ruined Hanako's route was the pacing :/
  
  It all slammed you at once at the last 20 minutes of the route and then ended instantly. I was like "what".
  
  Its still my favorite route though, because its Hanako's.

  I like Lilly, can you tell?
  
  But I also liked Shizune, Hanako, Emi, and Rin's routes, probably in that order. I was rather happy with the game as a whole.

  If it even had one extra bonus "after" scene like Lilly's route had... it would have improved it significantly.
  
  But how fast it was, and the way it ended... I just couldn't like it.

  I LIKE LILLY TOO.
  She's so at ease with herself (at least, that's how it seems). I can admire that, yo.

  If they delayed the game for another three months just to pad out Shizune's route, I wouldn't mind. I love her character but her path, compared to the others anyways, is a little meh.

  I think I'm the only one who liked Shizune's route as-is on these forums. ;-;
