I’m kind of a softie when it comes to bad endings. I usually have to push myself to play through them, and it always leaves me feeling awful. however Rin’s route is one I’m especially hesitant about doing.

Rin’s route really hit me hard—her good ending had me bawling my eyes out. If the good ending was that sad, I can’t even imagine how much worse her bad/neutral endings must be. Is it worth seeing her bad or neutral ending, or am I just gonna be left feeling devastated without gaining anything?

I really want to know if it's something I’d regret skipping, or if my emotional well-being is better off without it.

Alright, welcome to the 502nd thread of Free Talk Friday. Here you can talk about anything you want, doesn't have to be Katawa Shoujo related, the only rule is don't be a jerk.

I googled this question but the only thread I could find was from more than 5 years ago, so maybe it's time for an update in case some newer series have arrived.

Any youtubers playing KS that you recommend? I always find it fun to watch others replay the story-heavy games that I like.

If possible, I'd be extra interested in someone who gets into the Rin route, since that's my favorite too. Maybe doing her route first. It's hard to find this, I found Tiruff Misu who seems to plays Rin first, and I'm going to watch her, but it's quite a small channel so I don't know what the quality will be.

I've watched Milbee, and though he liked Rin's route, it was one of the last he played and his enthusiasm for the game in general had faded a lot by that point, which is understandable. The first routes always hit hardest.

ChilledChaos was also entertaining but he drops the game before he tries Rin.

Any other ones?

I went on Steam to boot up the game as usual and i got this message all of a sudden

Ive deleted and reinstalled the game and even deleted the local files while i was at it but i still got the same message at the end

why isn't there any megathread / pinned post that recommends the "pre-alpha" version? (hidden among other good stuff to avoid being banned - provided there's still someone who cares about it)

I'm not sure if I'll re-do all routes, but so far I'm having a blast with Hanako and Lilly's unreleased paths, which I wouldn't have experienced if it had not been for a kind sould who coincidentally mentioned AND put the link to download it as a reply to a post about Hanako (I mean, there should be a lot of people like me who doesn't open all posts nor read all replies...)

Also, other posts like the re-engineered 2.0 version released ~3 weeks ago, or the gigachad who will soon release "sisterhood" in that version are quickly replaced by new posts and lost forever in the sea of posts (don't get me wrong, but I think these are more relevant than the "free talk fridays" that are actually pinned at the top in "communicty highlights")
