If you’ve never played the game-which recently got a high-definition remake by Mediatonic and a release on Steam-it’s tempting to dismiss it as a one-off gag.
#HATOFUL BOYFRIEND FONT SIMULATOR#
Much like Goat Simulator before it, Hatoful Boyfriend started as a joke-a parody of dating sims whipped up for April Fools’ Day in 2011 by a manga creator who happened to be fond of pigeons.

Pigeonation high school, a girl who has to select her love interest from the usual panoply of boy-band archetypes: the shy nerd, the jock, the smooth talker, or even-gasp-the teacher. You play as the one and only human student at the elite St. The concept behind Hatoful Boyfriend is simple, but incredibly bizarre: it’s a bird dating sim. But here I was anyway, getting legitimately choked up over whether or not a quail was ever going to love again. The catch, of course, is that he wasn’t a “guy” at all he was a bird. At one point during the dating simulation game Hatoful Boyfriend, I found myself walking through a park with the guy I had a crush on as he confessed his profound grief over a lost love-how her absence had broken something deep in his heart that he might never be able to put back together.
