3. Hatoful Boyfriend
Otome games are inherently weird. At its most rudimentary level, it represents your attempts to woo fictional characters by selecting the appropriate responses, with your ultimate reward typically being some kind of still image that encapsulates your newfound love.
So don’t you begin to think that a dating sim about birds is too unusual for this list, lest the pot be calling the kettle black, and so on, so forth. Most modern kettles are actually chrome, but that’s a moot point.
The tone of Hatoful Boyfriend is so tongue in cheek, you’d think it had been surgically implanted there, but dig a little deeper and you’ll begin to see the true heart that beats at the center of everything.
Many of these characters are genuinely likeable, and if nothing else, Shuu Iwamine is well worth the price of admission. He loves every bit of you, and will show you piece by piece, if you give him the chance.
