Has anyone ever played one? I've played two and I loved them both. Katawa Shoujo is the best of the two, and even though it is hentai, I actually thought it was well-written and I enjoyed the characters (edit: hentai is awesome ANYWAY). My favorite was Rin, I thought her story was very sweet and poetic. Plus, I like talking about this game with parties of nerds: "DID YOU EVER PLAY THAT GAME WHERE YOU SCREW DISABLED GIRLS?"
I also played To the Moon and the graphics were very SNES, but the storyline was also very sweet and sad and interesting.
Now I am a visual novel fan, but I don't have time to play them anymore. Which is sad, but alas.
