Description I thought that it's sad that the OSTs of the various demos of Katawa Shoujo don't have a cover, an image for the album... I mean, they sound great as well, personally, when I listen to them, I feel a bit nostalgic, remembering the time I used to play the demo, waiting for the final version,and some of them sounds even more emotional than their final versions (for example, "Wiosna", or "Shadow of the Truth", somehow)...

And, while listening to them, I thought that they deserve a cover as well.

So... here it is, a cover that you can add to your compilation of Act1's music!
When I'll get some time, maybe I'll do the back as well.

While making this, I wanted to focus on a "sketch-idea": somehow, it looks like the desk of a drawer, covered with sketches, with attempts to draw the characters for a "final version". It fits perfectly for such a music compilation.
Of course, I'm not the one who drew those images (that would be awesome! xD), I just thought that the "Act Cards" of the final version would have been perfect for such a work, since they actually look like "official sketches".

So...what do you think about it? There's something that doesn't make me feel satisfied, but I can't understand what it is... maybe it's the title.

Of course, it's an unofficial work

Cover made with photoshop, all the images used were taken directly from the game. No copyrights infringement intended.

...and sorry for my english! D:

Looks absolutely lovely, I prefer it over the cover they have for the actual soundtrack. I think I'll change it :3

Thank you, I really appreciate it! BUT...since the title is " "Act1" Original Soundtrack" (and since I'm a perfectionist >_>), I uploaded a corrected version, for who prefers this cover to the official one, with only "Original Soundtrack" written on it If you prefer, you can use this version: [link]

I really love the sketch and cut up style that the piece has. So, the most important question from the fandom;

Favourite route?

Maybe I'm banal, but it's Hanako's: I just love girls like her (shy, sincere, who likes simple things, and with love for reading and, why not? chess ). Well, I loved Lilly's route as well (afterall, they're similar), and Lilly herself, with her elegance, is beautiful, but Hanako gave me more feelings, somehow...

I think this is my list: Hanako=Lilly>Emi>Shizune>Rin.

Emi was the first I got, answering honestly to the flags (I just kept running! >.<), maybe that's because I felt like "cheating her" while doing all the other routes; Shizune's route was somehow the "happiest", it was full of "friendship sense", it made me feel happy. But Shizune herself was.. meh, poor of feelings; Rin's route was deep, ok, but she was poor of feelings as well.

And... what about you?

My list is pretty much the same :3

Lilly
Lilly's was simplely amazing, it got me right in the feels so to speak.

Emi was my first route, and believe everyone gets her. However, if you reply hers, it's actually very very good.

Shizune, I like that kind of girl, and her bad ending was a knife twist to the heart.

Hanako was okay, she was a little too shy and I felt more of a brother protect than love thing.

Rin - was complicated. She was a little too confused for me, to be honest.

Nice of you to list your reasons, makes it more interesting to read :3

That's true, usually everyone just makes a list of their favorite routes, and that's the end, this way sure it's more interesting to read About Shizune's bad ending, I felt the same, her face in the last picture+the puppet from Act1 coming out of her bag was an heartbreaking combination ;__; ...the bad ending was the first I got with her, but how could I understand that with Misha "Comfort her" = "Let's f*ck!"??? It was a trap! \(>o<)/

It was a trap, and it's a shame they decided to not to any add on patches to the game. Misha would have been a very very fun path :3

Right, I think her would have been one of my favorite route :3
