I don't know how I feel about an H-game about girls with disabilities. Like, whether or not the creators meant it as some sort of fetish thing

there's gotta be people out there...

Disabled girls isn't anything new. As a fetish subgenre, it's been around for a long time.

I'd hardly call this a fetish game. The team did extensive research on each of the girls' disabilities to present them in as realistic a way as possible. I believe they even had a doctor on the team to help them out with gathering the medical info. The original sketch that spawned the game might have envisioned it as such, but the story is tastefully done, IMO. A lot of people have commented negatively about the game without giving it a shot. Those opinions seem to change after a readthrough.
