Hatoful Boyfriend - a game about human and uplift relations
Sat, 2011-12-03 14:32
This game is a visual novel dating sim about a human girl who wants to enter into a serious relationship with a variety of uplifted pigeons. Many issues are touched upon, such as the difference between typical human and pigeon lifespans, atavistic pigeons who can barely fit into uplifted society, what happens when uplifts begin to outnumber the humans and therefore take over traditionally-human roles, how well the concept of "love" works between humans and uplifts, and on and on.
The official website is at http://clione.halfmoon.jp/hatoful-boyfriend/index.html and there are two download mirrors at http://www.freem.ne.jp/game/win/g03372.html and the English translation for the free version is at http://sce.inkwash.net/main/

They are working on an English version of the full paid game. The text is complete and currently in the editing process while some graphics are changed as well. No word on a release date.

And for those of us who don't speak Japanese and want a little more information about this game (even if only to see if we're still going 'buh' and hoping our brain doesn't explode when we read more about it -- hint: you probably will be, but laughing quite a bit, too), a pretty thorough review with plenty of screenshots can be found at:
