While visual novels remain a growing niche in the international market, one of the dating simulation titles that has drawn considerable attention from a broader audience in the English-speaking market is Hatoful Boyfriend. After all, there aren’t any other VN’s out there which can proudly boast a character cast full of pigeons. The game is soon set to gain increased attention, with a Steam release set to perch itself in the Steam library on August 22nd, 2014.
This Steam edition is set to feature a number of new features including an all-new scenario and ending, adding to what could be one of the most surreal titles to hit your library. Prior to launch there will be a 10% discount on purchases, with the standard edition setting you back $8.99 USD and the Collector’s Edition which includes the digital soundtrack, exclusive comic / wallpapers and a St Pigeonations Yearbook (Class of 2014) for $13.49 USD.
