Man, I love it when stuff like this happens. Not depressing plot lines, but leaked beta versions of games with huge differences. It's always cool to get a glimpse of the development process, and also to see what might have been. It's the same reason I love my copy of the annotated Star Wars screen plays; lots of stuff about the various re-writes in there.

Oh crap, I forgot to add that Beta!Shizune also acts a lot more romantic towards you, even calling you her boyfriend several times.

So, there's that.

EDIT: Acts 1, 2, and the first half of 3 are largely the same. Shizune is a lot more flirtacious, cheerful and girly, while Misha takes a back seat.

Rin is identical, but with less technical polish. Lily's dialogue near the end was changed, which I think means her path had a slightly different theme than what was released.

Still no 'word' on Emi.

Well they certainly fucking worked.
Christ, I can't imagine the backlash if this sort of stuff got an official retail release.

For those of you not wanting to play to find out information, Hanako's endings are as follows:

Looks like there's a lot of missing text, but it seems Hisao had another heart attack, and Hanako saved him with CPR. Hisao wakes up in the hospital with broken ribs, and they plan to put a pacemaker in. Hanako is in a locked facility for mental patients. The doctors tell Hisao about how Hanako ran from a boy who confessed to her in middle school, and when the boy chased her he got hit by a car and died. I'm not sure what happened when Hisao had the heart attack, but apparently he was also chasing Hanako.

You can choose to disobey the doctors' orders to not see Hanako. Hisao and Lilly go to her room and find her mumbling "I killed them all." She sees Hisao and freaks out and shoves him in the chest and he starts puking blood and dies.

If you wait, Hanako visits you after the pacemaker is put in and the doctors allow her to leave. Everyone goes home but Hanako is unresponsive and just stares with her head down. Over the next few days, Hanako continues to act all zombie-like, barely conversing even with Lilly. Eventually she is in Hisao's room, and asks him why he loves her. Hisao can't really answer immediately, and Hanako claims that he wants her body and begins to undress, and lays down emotionless on Hisao's bed. You can choose to have sex with her or tell her to get dress.

If you choose sex, as soon as you penetrate her she freaks out about how Hisao really does only want her body. Hisao stands up quickly in shock, trips because of the pants around his ankles, and breaks his neck on the desk. He is paralyzed, and dies right after Hanako calls him disgusting.

If you tell her to get dressed, she does and leaves your room in tears. Hisao realizes that Hanako isn't the same person anymore and goes into her room and tears it apart looking for her pills. He flushes them down the toilet. The next morning, Hanako acts normal, claiming that it feels like the fog has been lifted from her mind. Hisao excitedly invites her on a date. They go to a park or something where they had their first kiss. Towards the end of the date, Hanako acts more depressed than usual. She says she's sick so she wants to take the subway home instead of walking. At the subway, she talks about how all she ever does is hurt and kill people, and that she doesn't want to hurt people anymore. She throws herself in front of the train.
... That is fucking morbid... I... I don't like that ending... *Cuddles Hanako* I will never let that happen to you...

I thought dating sims were like... happy?Haven't played it myself, but from what I understand there's some bad stuff in mid-game and the bad ends are usually depressing but... jesus damn.
Play School Days
Dating sims aren't really my thing, but I may check out a synopsis sometime. Thanks.
Yeah the synopsis is all you need to know, and the youtube clips that it has.

Very disturbing...
Wait, I think I may have read a synopsis for this before...
Is this the one where the protagonist can get one of the girls pregnant and she ends up hacksawing his head off?
Yeah

And then its revealed that the girl was never pregnant and was lying to get the guy she wanted.

The other jealous girl found out since she cut open her stomach to see if there was a fetus

....yeah
[HEADING=1]DA FUCK DID I JUST READ?[/HEADING]

Dating Sims? Happy!!!?!?!?

You could not be more misinformed, at least if my experience with them is anything to go by.

Hisao stands up quickly in shock, trips because of the pants around his ankles, and breaks his neck on the desk. He is paralyzed, and dies right after Hanako calls him disgusting.
OT: I couldn't stop laughing, especially at this part. It's clearly supposed to be edgy and depressing, but Christ, it all just sounds hilarious to me.

Nope.

Nope.

As a Chaotic Neutral Black Mage, I'll have to cast Debilitate on that picture.

Three of them could die, AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.

Oh I have a feeling that Emi is going to be fucked up

I am wiling to guess in the bad ending Hisao dies from running too fast or Emi cheating oh him with the gay track star

Jesus.
I'm gonna go play some horror games, or watch some slasher flicks or something, they're less brutal than dating sims.
I never thought I would say (type) that sentence unironically.

Wait a second. People play dating-sims nowadays? Since when? I thought this was a Japanese thing.

Is this like a thing that is spread around schools or just some minority?

Play it and find out. You won't be disappointed.
But it looks like some kind or weird anime thing
Its a visual novel that deals with disabilities and how each girl is actually normal than what society thinks of them

Its written quite well and its not the typical cliche anime crap that people are exposed to
