Katawa Shoujo Alpha Walkthrough

First of all this is how you get hold of the Katawa Shoujo alpha:
  • Go on to steam groups.
  • Find Katawa Shoujo Prealpha Repair
  • The download is in the announcements as stated, the version will of course change as time goes on becoming better and more updated but is perfectly playable at time of writing.
  • To get the most up to date but not neccessarily stable version you can go here: https://github.com/stanriders/ksalpha-repair

Because I couldn't find a walkthrough for the alpha I decided to make my own. This is a work in progress as I'll have to emotionally prepare myself for the bad endings. Plus time constraints, other games, yada yada. I will do my best to keep this up to date with the most recent versions of the alpha, but from what I can gather the choices won't change, it's only artwork and music they're adding by this stage. Except maybe Hanako's. Finally this is for the alpha not the full game which can be downloaded here: http://www.katawa-shoujo.com/. The walkthrough for that can be found by a quick google or just looking on gamefaqs.com or some other site like that.



Lilly:

- Yeah, of course.
- Ask about the library.
- She has a point. Attack aggressively!
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
- She was cute.
- Go talk with Hanako.
- Yes.
- Hey, come on. Cut me and Lilly some slack...
- Take it easy.
- Sorry, I'm not in very good condition.
- I'll go for a walk into town.
- Tell the truth.

Right this one is an important one. In the original alpha this was the original path to Hanako's good ending where you pick "I'll take good care of her." However if you use this route to get Hanako's good ending you miss quite a few new scenes with Hanako so I wouldn't recommend doing that. In fact by doing Hanako's route you get to a very similar version of this scene with the same question but it automatically picks "I'll take good care of her" for you. Instead pick the following to continue along Lilly's good route.  If you pick "I'll take good care of her" it actually messes the game up at the moment, so don't do that.

- You're the one that's injured here.
- Kiss her.



Hanako:

- Yeah, of course.
- Ask about the library.
- She has a point. Attack aggressively!
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
- She was cute.
- Go talk with Hanako.
- Yes.
- Hey, come on. Cut me and Lilly some slack...
- Take it easy.
- Sorry, I'm not in very good condition.
- Go to the library.
- What do you think, Hanako?

Then comes the editor's note which allows you to simply pick between the true/good ending and the bad ones. Pick the good one. For your sake.



Shizune:


- Yeah, of course.
- Ask about Shizune's deafness.
- She has a point. Attack aggressively!
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
- She was cute.
- Wait for Shizune and Misha to come to a decision.
- Yes.
- Don't drag me into this! I've done my part!
- Take it easy.
- Try to dodge the subject.
- Try to kiss Shizune.
- I'll Confess to Shizune.
- Don't do it.
- I picked Blue. (This only affects what colour yukata she wears for Tanabata.) 
- Leave the shop. 
- Wish for good luck with relationships.
- No. (Work in progress).
- You look cute when you're mad.
- Well you weigh them three times...
- No.
- You can be happy with what you have.
- Shizune.
- I need to check up on her.



Rin:

- Yeah, of course.
- I think I got everything I need to know.
- She has a point. Attack aggressively!
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
- She was cute.
- Read my book.
- Yes.
- Don't drag me into this! I've done my part!
- Take it easy.
- Sorry, I'm not in really good condition.
- I'm interested in the art club.



Emi:

Disclaimer: This path is currently not finished, you can play it up to one of the final scenes at Emi's house where you can either go after her or talk to her mom. After that bad things happen so if you want the ending go play it in the finished game. All up to that point is very good though so it is worthwhile if you don't mind switching for the ending.

- Yeah, of course.
- I think I got everything I need to know.
- She has a point. Attack aggressively!
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
- She was cute.
- Read my book.
- Yes.
- Hey, come on. Cut me and Lilly some slack...
- Go for it.
- Press.
- Talk to Emi's Mom.
