    This has to be the funniest and most on-point thing I've read on the forum in ages. Thank you for that.

    Just for clarification purposes.. The screenshot says someone has 2,237.5 hours on record? Wtf is there to do in this game to put 93 real life DAYS into playing it? That's some MMO status.

    Hatoful :confused:

    Anybody?

    Is this choice of words explained in-game somehow? Just can't get it out of my head - Is it supposed to be some version of hateful? What the heck is a hatoful (boyfriend)? :rolleyes:

    Edit: Aside from a proponent of free (man-bird) love of course :) Just wondering if the word has any origin at all or if it just is from the same cuckoo fantasy realm as the game

    @Gambler...

    From Wikipedia:
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatoful_Boyfriend

    "The title is a pun on the wasei-eigo word hātofuru (ハートフル?, "heartful", also "hurtful", and the Japanese word hato (鳩?, "pigeon", "dove"), as the game features pigeons and other birds as major characters."

    Wikipedia also notes:
    "It was developed by manga artist Hato Moa's dōjin circle PigeoNation Inc., and is the successor of a Flash game of the same name she created for April Fools' Day in 2011."

    Hope this helps!

    I got this on a Vita sale way back when and only got one of the endings, and fairly quickly. Maybe it's time to double dip and play this silliness on my iPhone. :D
