What if I told you that there is a game where you can flirt with pigeons? It's real and it's actually quite famous. Its name is Hatoful Boyfriend and it is one of the funniest parodies I have ever seen.

The premise is simple: we are the first and only human student at the prestigious St. PigeoNations, an educational institution specially designed for talented birds. "Roam the halls and find love between classes as a sophomore at the world's greatest pigeon high school," reads its official description on Steam.

With such a plot, you can already imagine where the shots are going... Or not? In case this wasn't enough, the creators decided to go even further, giving each pigeon an anime-style alter-ego.

the game doesn't take itself seriouslyfrom narcoleptic school instructors to motorcycle gangs of pigeons

". Each one is stranger than the last, it is a game full of absurd humor.

Not everything is a joke, however. The game, despite everything, is well designed, and it includes the basic mechanics of any dating simulator: traits and characteristics that we can improve by attending class, decision making, different endings...

As a conversational adventure, it has everything you could ask for in a game. That said, is it really good or not? Well... It's hard to say yes, since it's a joke on legs. However, it's funny.

If you want to try something different, irreverent and absurd, Hatoful Boyfriend is just what you're looking for, because it makes fun of everything and everyone. At least that's how I've always interpreted it.

And if you're wondering, yes, it did very well. On Steam it has 94% positive reviews after more than 5,000 reviews. So, if we go by the comments of the community, it is a great game.
