Katawa Shoujo is a bishoujo-style visual novel set in the fictional Yamaku High School for disabled children, located somewhere in modern Japan. Hisao Nakai, a normal boy living a normal life, has his life turned upside down when a congenital heart defect forces him to move to a new school after a long hospitalization. Despite his difficulties, Hisao is able to find friends—and perhaps love, if he plays his cards right. There are five main paths corresponding to the 5 main female characters, each path following the storyline pertaining to that character.

The story is told through the perspective of the main character, using a first person narrative. The game uses a traditional text and sprite-based visual novel model with an ADV text box.

This version is a full remaster of the original VN, featuring upscaled images and a suite of accessibility features for the vision and hearing impaired. All fully free, open source, and community maintained. Forever.

Summary of new features:
* Upscaled images for modern displays
* Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese translations builtin
* Parallax mode
* 2 Dyslexic modes
* High contrast text
* Self-voicing for custom fan voice-overs
* Modding support
* Updated engine and other under the hood technical improvements
