Hatoful Boyfriend is a quirky and beloved visual novel/dating simulator where you, as the only human student, attend St. PigeoNation’s Institute, a prestigious bird academy filled with sapient birds—especially pigeons—to find friendship, romance, and hidden secrets. Though it sounds whimsical and humorous on the surface, the story reveals surprising depth with multiple narrative paths, intertwining plots, dark twists, and even mystery elements alongside lighthearted pigeon romance.
The gameplay consists mainly of choice‑driven storytelling and branching dialogue, similar to classic visual novels. You’ll attend classes, improve your character’s stats (like charisma and wisdom), interact with a colorful cast of feathered characters—from biker gangs to dreamy poets—and pursue various romantic routes. With multiple endings, hidden subplots, and an all‑new scenario in the Steam edition, Hatoful Boyfriend offers plenty of replayability and laughs for players who enjoy narrative‑rich games with a surreal twist.
