Well Hanako's act is certainly dark. Kind of glad we got the one we did. It seems the general trend the Devs were going for was one that was way more dramatic and emphasized extreme grimness. In my opinion, that would have made the game worse, mainly because so many other games have done something like that, especially School Days, and if I wanted to play School Days, I'd probably play School Days, not a game that's like School Days, although the two games would still have been different in a thematical sense, I doubt I'd be willing to sink time in both of them, and would just end of up choosing one.

I like Beta Shizune's though. Because Misha and Shizune can die. Which is the ending I would aim for. Because I hate them the most out of the entire cast.

I actually liked Shizune's beta-arc a bit better to be honest. It seems like it have more... More in it. It might happend stuff every once in a while other than student council work. But Hanako's beta arc... DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. That's freakin' dark. Do she die whatever you do? Isn't it any way to prevent her to kill herself or kill Hisao? That's just messed up.

New information about Hanako has been provided by a Linux user on GameFAQs.
Looked it up. Apparently there's two versions of the script in there, both with major differences from the original game and from each other. It looks like they were in the middle of a script revision from one version to the other. Of special note is that Hanako's true ending is buried in the old script -- apparently in her true ending,

She's pregnant with Hisao's baby, but she seems okay with it, and it looks like the two of them have a real, long term future with each other. Apparently you get to this true ending by first playing through Hanako's regular arc, then playing Lilly's arc up to a certain point, at which point one of the decisions lets you switch from Lilly to Hanako. It's that Hanako arc that has the true ending.

The reason you have to do Hanako's regular story once before you can get the true ending is because one of the choices sets a flag that stays set through subsequent playthroughs. There's some really interesting stuff in here.

Its called Muv Luv Alternative(see you wouldnt expect a dark sci fi game with a title like that)

And its a cool mecha game that has a high budget and is over 50 hours long with one ending.

Im enjoying the hell out of it

Can anyone post a download link? All the times I tried to find the game were for naught and most download links were duds. Do you have to pay for it or is it free? I love visual novels and want to try this.
Katawa Shoujo is totally free, and here's the download link:
http://katawa-shoujo.com/download.php

It has versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as torrents for each. If that doesn't work, then I suggest finding an unoffical torrent. It's free after all, so who gives a crap?

The original can be found <link=http://katawa-shoujo.com/download.php>here.

If the direct download links are broken, just use the torrent links. Don't worry, it's a legal torrent, like an Ubuntu distribution.

For the beta, the links are contained in the reddit link in the OP.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

At least say "Muv-Luv Alternative spoilers", there are people here on this website that are playing it and haven't gotten to that point.

You can't just spoil one of the most shocking and infamous scenes like that!

At least just put a little notice for those who are playing it or plan on playing it.

I had that scene spoiled to me (what will happen, not when) because of some stupid comment on another website and I would never wish that on another.

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.
I don't like this way though as it seems very unrealistic for a game that is mainly grounded in reality and makes it sound like School Days (look it up) glad they changed it as Hanako's story was my favourite path!
It's so funny to me that you would say that, because I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading it.
