#HATOFUL BOYFRIEND VNDB SIMULATOR#

Made by indie studio MoaCube, this visual novel has a distinct artstyle that gives it oodles of personality. Pick it up if you’re in the mood for a surrealistic dating experience.Cinders puts in you charge of your very own fairytale that takes the classic tale and turns it on its head with mature themes and a strong protagonist who wants to decide her own fate. I found it worth several replays,and while they tended to grate, the new avenues they took were worth it. It’s all very pretty, looks very nice, and is more or less the most fun you could have while trying to win the affections of a rock dove. HATOFUL BOYFRIEND starts out good for a laugh then quickly develops into a nest of intrigue that is also very good for a laugh. No wonder it’s a big deal you’re going to school. Also, you live in a goddamn cave at the edge of town by yourself. As the player protagonist is also the only human character you ever hear of, many jokes are made related to the player’s hunter-gatherer instincts and their lack of feathers to keep them warm in cold weather. Do you want to find a relationship? Be a famous artist? Or maybe you just want to secretly conquer the world and rule from the shadows? All are valid options. At the town’s annual wishing festival, the game gives you options of what you want to wish for. The game’s tongue-in-beak sense of humor is also an important part of the game’s appeal. Do you pursue your best friend or your stuck-up noblebird classmate with secret artistic leanings? His suave half-brother? The pudding-obsessed, yet athletic, pigeon who communicates solely through translated coos? Or perhaps the school’s unsettling sparrow doctor, who may or may not have had a hand in the near-destruction of the human race and your genesis? The choices are endless!

You meet your friend that you’ve known “since he was barely hatched”, and then slowly the game’s cast of characters reveal themselves. This is a main factor of the game’s appeal, as it starts out as an average dating simulator/visual novel, just with pigeons. I mean, there at least three things in that last sentence that are worth exploring further. While the replays can get repetitive, the surreal humor that stems from the birdy premise, resulting in the protagonist counseling a pigeon to forsake his destiny so that he may become the head of his noble household and become a musician, keeps things interesting. The game has many branching endings, and is clearly designed for multiple playthroughs. He’s referring to Brian the Pigeon, who turns out to be a big fucking deal Pigeonation’s and the world of HATOFUL BOYFRIEND. Once there, the player has the option to romance various characters and also uncover the dark secret of St. Pigeonation’s, the most elite school for birds in Japan, as well as the world. The plot, as I’d learned, centers on the player, who is the first human to attend St. But I am a fan of clever writing and humor, which HATOFUL BOYFRIEND accomplishes pretty well. I have to admit that I’m not a seasoned dating sim player, so the intricacies of HATOFUL BOYFRIEND’s relationships are to an extent lost on me. Money well spent, as it would eventually turn out Would I be forced to watch a digital representation of myself bang a pigeon? Will any sen-pigeon notice me? It was too late at this point. The only thing I had to go off of was the picture of all the assembled pigeon characters at the start screen. So much so that I was worried about what I was really getting myself into. HATOFUL BOYFRIEND looks like an average dating sim: the colors are all bright and cheerful, and so is the music. The game was about five dollars on Steam at the time, so I immediately downloaded it and fired it up. My thirst for discovery growing, I quickly learned the game’s dark secrets, albeit probably a bit prematurely. Usually they featured games that were pretty popular or new and that had people interested in them, and I’d never heard of this strange bird game. I found a Lore video on Youtube featuring the game, and I was confused by my own unfamiliarity with it.

I stumbled upon HATOFUL BOYFRIEND by accident, truly. Visual novel implies endless clicking to bring about more dialogue, and while this element is present in HATOFUL BOYFRIEND, the game does require player input beyond that element.) I’m referring to it as a dating sim because of the existence of actual choices one can make. (Note: Many refer to HATOFUL BOYFRIEND as a visual novel along with/rather than a dating simulator. Strap in kiddos, it’s only gonna get weirder HATOFUL BOYFRIEND on the PSN is a dating sim that finally dares to blend what we’ve all hoped for: post-apocalyptic adventures and pigeon dating.
