Re: (R18+, Minor Spoilers) Katawa Shoujo review/discussion.
I stumbled across Katawa Shoujo a few months ago and I admit, I had my own concerns about the project. I won't lie, I've played a handful of visual novels with adult content, and overall, I haven't had that good of an impression of them. Luckily for me, at the time, only the demo of Katawa Shoujo was available, so I downloaded it. Two hours later.... I was telling everyone I knew about it.
I was extremely happy when I found out the full version was released recently. I've only done one playthru so far (Emi's good ending) and am incredibly touched by it. Sure, there's a bit of humor that taken out of context just seems wrong, but it's never done distastefully.
Reading a project like this makes me want to get back into writing again. (Heh, I even downloaded the Ren'Py software they used for making Katawa Shoujo and have played around with it a bit.)
