Are you a quirky gamer who’s always up for a weird game? It seems as if your gaming dreams are coming true. Game creator Hato Moa is back with a game that tackles a pretty sticky issue of our time, as he learns to us a game called Hatoful Boyfriend. The game is all about a high school girl who lives in a world surrounded by birds. The high school girl does date a bird, as the birds are mostly male in “gender”. Loyal players say that there is an option to let her date a woman, but there is no standard LGBT advocacy in the game for now.

While loyal fans remember the game and its developments, Moa has added a new long-term character to the game, Tohri. The game will arrive on PC, PS4, and PS Vita on July 21st for the low price of $9.99 (you read it right: the dot is in the right place).

The game will certainly intrigue a number of loyal fans, but the human-pigeon dating slightly plays up bestiality in some regard, seeing that it appears as though the girl dates a bird instead of dating another high-schooler who would be human. While we certainly think animals are good to have around the house and throughout all of life, we wouldn’t advocate the thought of an animal and a human having some sort of “dating” relationship.

There are a number of movies, TV shows, and cartoons that currently play-up the friendships between humans and the animal kingdom such as “The Ant Bully,” “G-Force,” and even the decades-old “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, in which news reporter April O’Neal befriends a group of turtles who save her from the hands of some crooks.”

TMNT has been revised for a more contemporary audience today (the cartoon has been modernized), but it shows how humans and animals can be good friends. Humans and animals dating, however, is not a kid-friendly theme I’d want my two-year-old niece to accept and champion.

It’s okay to want to show that “a bird is man’s best friend,” but the game’s arrival and its human-animal love theme is nothing short of bad timing. Within the last few weeks, a man was fired from his job after posting a message on Facebook about being in love with his dog and hoping he and his dog could get married someday, in response to the recent legalization of gay marriage in the United States. Game pigeon chess draw. The problem with his post is that it was submitted just days after the legalization of gay marriage, sending the message to gay marriage advocates that if homosexuality is okay, bestiality is, too. It also made fun of the hopes and dreams of those who have lived in fear and marginalization because of their inclinations.

This wildly popular Japanese pigeon dating sim is coming to America Hey, baby. Let's go back to my house and rub cloacas. Or romance games for female players. In the game, the player is a.

It’s true that homosexuality and bestiality are worlds apart, but a game like this will do nothing to convince anti-LGBT advocates to accept the current social revolution in the US. Instead, Hatoful Boyfriend will only convince LGBT critics that the slippery slope argument “homosexuality is a stone’s throw away from bestiality” is true. After all, if humans can change proper sexuality, it is said, why can’t they change the human-animal relationship? If male-male sexuality and female-female sexuality are normal, why not human-animal sexuality?

North American video game publisher Devolver Digital announced on Friday that it is collaborating with British independent game developer Mediatonic to publish an English remake of Hato Moa's Hatoful Boyfriend (Hatoful Kareshi, literally 'Pigeon-ful Boyfriend') dating simulation game this summer. The game will be released digitally in English for Mac and Windows PC. A playable version will be available at next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) convention by appointment.

The original otome game (romance games for female players) began as an April Fool's joke that inspired a free downloadable version in July 2011. A Hatoful Kareshi Plus updated release launched in August 2011, and a full version of the game was released in October 2011. Hato Moa released an official English patch for the game translated by Nazerine in 2012. The Hatoful Kareshi HolidayStarsequel debuted in December 2011.

In the game, the player is a human female who is seeking to fall in love with a pigeon at a school for gifted birds. The game features portraits of every bird that suggest what they would look like in human form.

The original game's cast includes:

Ryōta Kawara (voiced by Shintarō Asanuma in the Drama CD), the protagonist's childhood friend.

Sakuya Le Bel Shirogane (Akira Ishida), a pompous and prideful bird of French nobility.

Kazuaki Nanaki (Hiroshi Kamiya), the protagonist's homeroom teacher who is more than just a little bit spacey.

Nageki Fuji (Mitsuki Saiga), a mourning dove whose first name literally means 'mourning.' A loner who spends most of his time reading books with one wing.
