Hatoful Boyfriend is an unusual take on the popular otome visual novel/dating sim that is so popular in Japan. The title is a play on the word “hateful”, and on the name of the game's creator, Hato Moa.

As the only human student attending St. PigeoNation's Institute, a posh school for pigeons, you flirt with fair feathered friends, interact with fellow classmates and solve a mystery all while being pursued by tiny bird brained male pigeons who want to be your boyfriend.

The first game has been fully translated into English and was released on PC in 2012. The Japanese language sequel, Hatoful Boyfriend HolidayStar was released in 2013.
