i started playing hatoful boyfriend (aka bird dating game) on a whim last night and hooooooo i was not prepared for what that game had to offer. i thought i was ready because i actually got spoiled on it sometimes Not being a happy dating game, but it went way deeper than i thought it would. i did not expect to get so emotional about birds. i was up until 4-5am playing it and i just finished the rest in the morning. omg. the dating stuff was standard dating sim fare for the most part, it was cute and fun and a lot of the endings were bittersweet. anghel's route is my favourite because not only do i like him the most but his route felt pretty unique! 
hatoful boyfriend spoilersnot only does anghel's route end with an rpg battle, but it's kind of a happier ending compared to the rest of the normal endings? so i liked that. however i actually REALLY like the "bad boys love" route, which is only unlocked after getting all the other endings. in it, your main character gets murdered and the birds you've come to know and love have to investigate your death and uncover the school's conspiracies. i really liked seeing the love interests take the spotlight like that!! the overarching plot and the psychological elements are where i constantly lost my mind though, and that's pretty swell because i admittedly don't play dating sims for the actual dating stuff lol. so this game went beyond my expectations in terms of my personal satisfaction with the experience. it was really fun, and i find myself wanting more out of this game's world, so i will probably buy/obtain the sequel eventually. |
