I went into this game just because ''haha dating birds'' but what I got was something else...something dark.

Hatoful Boyfriend is not just an otome, it goes beyond that. And the only way to reach that is to finish every route, which can be painful. I get that's it's normal in visual novels, but man did they had to drag with that.
But even then, still I'm glad I did it because the true route was amazing. Phenomenally written and completely different from the rest of the game. It even made me emotional too.

So yeah, I highly recommend it for the true end alone. It was one hell of a ride.
