SICK LOOT!


Steam page posted:

Congratulations! You’ve been accepted as the only human student at the prestigious St. PigeoNation’s Institute, a school for talented birds! Roam the halls and find love in between classes as a sophomore student at the world’s greatest pigeon high school. Finding happiness won’t be easy, but it’s not all academic - there’s always time for a little romance in this delightful remake of Hato Moa’s popular visual novel / avian dating sim Hatoful Boyfriend!

Please Note: No birds were hurt in the making of Hatoful Boyfriend. In fact, many found love.

This game comes out on August 21st. It's like :10bux:. You should buy it.

Wait, really?

Yeah, really, it's good and stuff.

Who is the best pigeon to date?

Trick question: Kazuaki is actually the best and he's a quail.

Are the other ones good?

Yes. Date all birds.

What does the thread title mean?

There was a bit character named Azami in the original and "Carve it into your soul, kid!" was her catchphrase (she was like a gangster or something.) She is now dateable.

I can only get into a game if there's an emoticon about it I can bring up in inappropriate situations, does Hatoful Boyfriend deliver?

I've heard that pigeons can carry lice and disease. Have these pidgeons been checked for certain... transmitted diseases?

Here's a :psyduck: for you...

Just imagine what the world would be like if humans had the same degree of phenotypic variance that pidgeons have? That would be some crazy poo poo I tell you what.

Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.

I always play as a girl when I have a choice, so I can at least look at a nice pixel rear end while i play, and also so I can get hosed by birds

That's a good way of putting it.

I got it in GOG's big flash sale thingy the other day and did one playthrough (ended with Nageki.) The moments when you first get to spend a day at home and the other one where you go to/past the city made me laugh out loud.

I love how it rewards familiarity with dating sim and anime/high school tropes but cuts out all the bullshit and fills that empty space with pigeons.

I don't want to do the vague insinuation of crazy to come spoiler-tease thing too hard, but trust me, Hatoful Boyfriend is playing the long con. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Oh, no doubt. Can't wait to see The Watchers in the flesh and engage in a heated rhythm battle to save the universe from becoming pudding.

Also got it in the GOG sale and payed through Ryoutaro, that noble-bird in class, Nageki and Shuu (:stonklol:).

I haven't played this type of game before, but I basically have to play through every potential birdfriend while hitting fast-forward, and hoping to be able to pause quickly enough to skip any new text, right? There's no way to see past dialog?

Yeah, you want to restart the game after you're done with an ending and go down a different route. Both because it's the way to play these kinds of games, and because it's very much the way to play this specific game For Reasons.
