The one that can bring the hardest of men to watery eyes, the trademark “true route”. It’s the one with the happiest end, the one with the tear-jerking and the one which closes off the other characters really well. The blind girl, called Lilly, is the purist route. And now I plan to talk about the two routes left over separately, because they’re just so special. It’s almost like they’re the special gimmick, and nothing more. So my surprise when the topic of disabilities and living with them was handled in such a mature and adult manner, and it doesn’t over-crowd anything it’s not the defining thing about these girls. With such an unfortunate title, I was expecting things to be pretty poorly handled. So rather than bang on and on about wasted potential and a mis-figuration of ideas, I decided that it’s going to be in my bestinterest to talk about what’s good, since it does so much that’s good. It’s a nice idea, yes, but it lacks that spark that the other two routes carry with them. Yet again, I find that one of the routes falls short: the one with prosthetic legs. That leaves the blind girl, the one with prosthetic legs and the artist. Annoyingly enough, the burn victim and the deaf-mute get the best development in other routes, not their own.So i’m mostly going to discount them for now, sadly.
All the girls are pretty interesting the burn victim who’s withdrawn inside herself, the blind girl who’s struggling to be self-reliant, the deaf and mute girl who’s got family problems, the girl with prosthetic legs and the artist who can’t find herself. You’ve got the two lovely layers of cake and then the three toppings to make it even better. It feels like there are two proper stories, and the rest are pretty much that extra something. However, this is where my main complaint on the novel comes from. Most the girls have their own route to go down, just like most other visual novels with girls in it. Like most visual novels, this one has a pretty basic structure a bunch of girls and one guy. If I was to say that these didn’t interest me, i’d be lying. You know, that little corner of the internet where people’s brains go to rot and die. On top of the title, another surprise comes from where the game originates. The title quite literally translates as Cripple Girls, and that’s what put me off reading this for so long. You know, if I was to give out an award for the most unfortunate title that I know of, this game would get it in a second.
