I don't see why people seem to have such negative opinions on it, I've even gotten the odd comment saying I am sick for playing through it. Implying Disabled people don't deserve to be loved. All of the characters routes you can go down are all normal people just with one thing wrong with em, and when I say wrong I don't mean that in a bad way. Hanako the girl in my avatar was in a house fire at a young age and was left with bad scarring, another girl named Rin was born without arms, she is just a normal person besides that fact, then Rin has a friend called Emi who she says is her perfect match since she has no legs but she is a runner with those leg thingies then there is Lilly who is pretty well spoken but is blind and lastly there is Shizune who is deaf. Now say what you will but I don't see anything wrong with it and even though none of you said it here this is to avoid anyone calling me sick, I do not see how it would be sick as they are all normal people.
There's more than one type of visual novel. "Dating Sim" tends to refer to the choose-your-own-adventure romance stories. Not judging, I just played a game where you date WWII-era tanks that also somehow happen to be girls. Dating sims are strangely amusing.
Because these types of games tend to be humorous, so the natural assumption is that the game makes fun of the disabled. Facts are rarely sufficient to sway people from their preconceived notions.
It's a fairly serious visual novel about looking past their disabilities and learning to love them for who they are.
It wasn't the game itself, it was the guy (not you) that was playing it that went on and on and on and on about it that gave Xan and me a somewhat off-putting opinion of it.
Now I kinda wanna play that Cat What Showed You game. The tank girl game was fun, but man those endings sucked. It's like the writers just stopped caring at that point.
