Hatoful Boyfriend begins with an absurd setup: you are a human girl enrolled at St. PigeoNation’s Institute, a prestigious school for birds. Your classmates and teachers are pigeons, doves and other feathered students, each with a human portrait you can switch on to imagine them as people.
Created by Japanese artist Moa Hato as a doujin game in 2011 and remade by Mediatonic with Devolver Digital in 2014, it became famous for its jokes and for its hidden Bad Boys Love route, which turns the game into something much darker.
