“Genuinely such an unexpected gem. I bought this originally because I thought "haha, funny dating sim about birds, i love birds!" but was definitely not expecting the amount of story and depth put into this world. I know it's really stupid and cringe to get emotional over a bird…”
— a player, Steam review · 42 hrs played“Hatoful Boyfriend is the kind of game you launch as a joke and then suddenly you’re three hours in, emotionally confused and wondering why a pigeon dating sim delivers plot twists than half the AAA releases this year. The writing bounces between absurd comedy and emotional gut…”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“By far one of my favorite examples of subverting expectations while also giving you exactly what you came for. Just here for the novelty? Date a bird or two and walk away entertained! Committed to the bit? Get ready for much more than you bargained for! I don't want to spoil too…”
