A timeless story, reborn on the Game Boy Advance.
Experience the beloved visual novel Katawa Shoujo in a whole new way, reimagined for the retro charm of the Game Boy Advance! This ambitious port brings heartfelt storytelling, memorable characters, and the visual novel format to a classic gaming platform.
Features
- Fully available OSTBlue123 and NicolArmarfi probably didn’t plan for their soundtrack to run on a ULC codec, yet it still sounds amazing.
- Video cutscenesI don't know if Mike Inel expected his cutscenes to end up being played in 240x160 resolution – but yes, that's what happened.
- Demo BuildsI don’t know who keeps asking for new builds — but yes, the demo gets updated.
Regularly. - Built on KS:REBased on Katawa Shoujo: ReEngineered.
The rest is…
...programming alchemy.
It shouldn’t have worked on a GBA — yet here are the cutscenes, sprites, and text boxes, all behaving.
Mostly.
Every emotion, every line of dialogue, somehow packed into a cartridge that tops out at 32 MB.
That should be enough for a full visual novel… right?
