that was peak... i guess
The story was good until it wasn't, I felt the true ending was longer than it needed to be after doing the common routes. The dating part should've been taken out of the equation since in the long run it never really mattered.
Recommending this game probably isn't the... Word I would use. But it's the closest option it's giving me out of the two, I suppose...
I felt obligated to finally play HB as a veteran of VNs and a lover of the absurd. However, this may be the first game that's left me thinking that these are 11 hours I won't ever get back.
Um. I don't think I... Regret playing it?
I was impressed by how committed to its own narrative it was, by the complete end.
The first half of the game certainly feels more like a parody piece. I worry that the majority of people who feel "bored" by this game are a majority of which who haven't gone deeper with this game and seen what it really has to offer; I could still understand feeling that way.
I was a middle grounder as a participant; I had several points of giggles. Although I easily lost count to what I kept saying to myself, 'what the flap am I flapping even playing!?'
I'm glad I chose to play this during Christmas. I will happily declare this to be a Christmas game, and I hope you play enough to find out what I mean about that - there's a tasty treat for those who do find out what I mean!
Honestly to be blunt with my beak, I struggled working through its system due to it being birds with proper Japanese family names. On my first few organic endings to see who I got I based it on purely by the birds I found easier to remember or identify, and I did enjoy those.
After those for a good 1/3rd of my birdtime I had to take notes to aviate some other endings, just because I really couldn't connect with some of the birds/narrative properly - I think it was worth it, but it's feather ruffling, and the game has a pretty sudden punishment system for narrative errors. That easily removes a couple seeds from me
I kept on enjoying some mental considerations between how I would typically treat these games when you have them truly as humans by design VS the birbs. Especially for the truer endings I found myself compartmentalising the situation better if I just mentally pictured this as a more human experience - although sometimes it was also beneficial the other way around. I appreciate it for giving me this interesting exercise
My least favourite thing most of all however was the interface of this game. Simple features like settings for dialogue or even choosing text were really badly designed and limited. I couldn't even access some of my saves. This was also the first VN that has ever crashed on my gaming PC -more than once- - which to me is actually impressive.
I've seen other birds complain about this also. I've played some really, really small budget VNs that are either free or pennies that have a better interface. It made me quite frustrated at several points that it has a price tag that doesn't budge but suffers from this really basic issue.
Most importantly however, no birds were harmed in the making of this game!
seems like a silly game at first! dating birds and pigeons? because while they do have human portraits, theyre still birds in the end
admittedly i did not enjoy how repetitive it was to get all the routes and endings. this is an older game and there's no flowchart or anything to make it a bit easier to go through it all. there is a skip button, but you might accidentally skip unread text. so i have to dock a few points from my overall rating for the repetition. if you need specific endings, don't be afraid to use a guide!
but oh my god. the bonus storyline (referred to as BBL) at the end of it all though. i was NOT expecting that at all and actually really enjoyed it. i recommend unlocking all the endings and then going into BBL for the maximum experience. you get so much information about all the birds, their backstories, and their motives during BBL, and even get to see some character development as well
i have to recommend the game solely for BBL alone. and the great art ofc!
best game EVEEEEEEEEEEER the final playthrough is a playthrough with twists and turns you don't even see coming and once everything is done and over, you can't even nitpick any plotholes it has because it wrapped the entire story up in a beautiful ribbon YEOOOOOOWCH
A game for everybirdie, by everybirdie, of everybirdie <3
Hatoful Boyfriend is a visual novel where you checks notes date pigeons.
Wait, don’t leave! This game is worth your time, and I’ll tell you why.
As mentioned, this game is a visual novel where you date pigeons as a human high school girl. It’s honestly one of the most unique setups for a game I’ve ever seen.
You’ll meet many pigeons, each with their own routes. Each route can be completed in about 2 hours, and even less once you’ve played the first two and can skip the initial setup. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of overlap in the routes, and the way the game is set up makes it difficult to revert to saves easily, as free period classes change things just enough to break that method. That said, the game is short enough, but I recommend using a guide to get all the routes.
You might be tempted, as I was, to just play one or two routes, but hear me out—play them all. When you do, you get access to a final route that makes it all worth it. The length of this final route, the payoff, and the knowledge of the previous routes all come together nicely to create what I honestly feel is a route that I never expected to be as good, considering the routes before it. Because of this, the game is one of those “play for X until it gets good” types. That isn’t to say it’s not good up until that point, but I wish the final route was how the rest of the game was.
Overall, I am very glad I played this. I was far more surprised than I expected, given the game’s setting and premise. Definitely a “don’t judge a book by its cover” type of game.
Oh! a quirky VN about dating Pigeons, I hope nothing bad happens :D
this game ruined me and my friends life
12/10 you gotta play it
For the time this came out it was funny to many but it's very dated nowadays even down to how poorly constructed the game is. i.e. this wasn't necessarily designed for a mouse as choosing options is noticeably bad vs using the keyboard.
I dunno I just got tired of visual novels but I can't blame this than more so, some publisher that's notorious for churning em out constantly with the same dumb themes with the same title.
Unironically one of the best dating sims I've ever played.
This game is absolutely wonderful. Super silly and fun
I'm not gonna lie, I did not have developing strong feelings towards a fictional pigeon on my 2024 bingo card.
Very deep. Shuu is my favourite rn
I fucking love pigeons
The BBL ending had no business going that hard
An absolute gem of a game!! I love the characters and plot <3<3<3 I still think about the characters years later!
Nice
Hey! So I bought this here for shigs and gits and left absolutely flabbergasted, jaw-dropped and emotionally conflicted. If you had spoiled me beforehand, I definitely would have laughed in your face ngl. The story line, characters, and content was an emotional roller-coaster to go through, and indeed a cinematic masterpiece.
I WILL be playing this again with unsuspecting friends. 10/10
If someone told me the Bird Dating Sim was going to have an actual storyline plot I don't know if I would've believed them.
10/10 would recommend. I love pigeons
Silly enough that I've enjoyed playing through this more than once
This game is an absolute masterpiece. Fantastic music, writing that's both hilarious and soul crushing, and it has the best birds in gaming with Okosan, Azami, and Anghel.
im speechless
bird game good shuu marry me
Unique visual novel.
coo-coo-coo

BIRBS!
༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶
A beautifully made game. The story was great, and I found the whole thing hilarious. I adore wacky otome games :)
I can never recommend this game enough! Probably one of my absolute favorites, especially visual novel-wise!
Did not expect this game to make me cry. Shuu is my husband
Weird but good.
Born to dilly dally, ended up locking in. 11/10.
Dating simulator? Check
Adorable interactions? Check
Multiple choices with a wide range of personalities? Check
Dystopian hellscape sub plot? .... Check
I'm not even ashamed of my 185.2 hours of played time.
I'm going to be honest here - I thought this was just a silly little bird game that I would stream to my friends and have a little laugh.
I have been streaming for 10 hours. I have never been more wrong in my life. I love this game. Go Birds.
cute af but sad
I went into this game expecting a silly bird dating game and whoo boy. I was starting to get bored at first because the characters just felt so shallow and undeveloped... right until I got the BBL route. Good god did my jaw drop... I got so invested into the story and I finally got a grasp of who these characters were. Good game, my only ick with it is some of the outdated language, given that this did come out in 2011
so devastating
gotta get those bird boyfriends
10/10
One of the absolute best dating sim games I have ever played. I am always coming back for more, trying to figure out all of the secrets and all of the endings. It's such a unique take and the characters are so fun and interesting, and I love all the characters back stories. 10/10 Will always love this game and recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and unique dating sim game!!!
I picked this one up expecting a total dating-sim parody with ridiculous humour to keep me entertained for a bit.
Which is exactly what I got, that is until I 100% this game (using a guide to find the ones I missed ofc) and unlocked the secret, real storyline of the game and boy was I shocked. I got instantly sucked into it to the point I couldn't stop playing until I finished it entirely (another night of lost sleep, whoops).
Pricing (7,99 for the non-collectors edition game as of writing this) is okay.
Laughing-out-loud-entertaining and surprisingly good, can recommend.
I just wanted to be silly and date the birds HOW THE HELL DID I CRY OVER THEM
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE DRAGGED INTO A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY I JUST WANTED TO BE SILLYYYYY
