I appreciate, at least, that the game acknowledges that there is absolutely no scenario in which becoming emotionally involved with someone who vivisects and dismembers high school students professionally and really enjoys his job is ever going to end well for you. Cold, creepy, dead inside, murderous, utterly irredeemably evil, obviously the most popular character among the fandom with mountains upon mountains of creepy fanart and plushy pillows made in his likeness because there is something seriously wrong with a lot of people or, by force of numbers, with me. Or is he? * duhnduhn DUHHHHHNNNNN!!* There are hints throughout his arc and others that he may be more than he seems and of course he totally is and the truth has scarred my soul forever and I will never trust again. This one is of the harmless bumbling genius eccentric variety. I… what? Seriously, what the hell? I can’t I don’t even. I want to throw a blanket around him and snuggle him forever.

It’s like watching a whole basket of puppies slowly starve to death because they refuse to leave the train station where their master usually greets them after work only he had a heart attack and won’t ever be getting off that train again but they’re still waiting there and I have just lost this metaphor utterly but it’s really sad, ok? And that is what this character is. It just gets worse and worse the more you find out. Because, really, if James Bond were French, and a pigeon… did I seriously just write that? What has this game done to my head? Spoliers: And he turns out to be sekritly a spy. Which just made Shuu’s route that much worse. This was the romance arc I think I enjoyed the most, overall. Either highly amusing or even more punchable than his brother (Sakuya) depending on how well you tolerate ham-handed attempts at over-the-top flirtation peppered with incredibly cheesy French affectations. I had to romance this insufferable prick twice. So I had to suffer through his smug, arrogant, racist arrrrggghhhh just let me hit him, please? Ok. And you have to get both of them if you want the “true ending” epilogue for Bad Boy’s Love. (until BBL which I’m not going to get into because spoilers.) And he has two endings. He does eventually get some character development but it’s too little too late. “Yeah, but, we’re not the same species.” thing and it’s a mark of how good the writing is that by the time that argument comes up you, the player, will probably be arguing against it in your heart because damn it they need each other, just let them be happy oh cruel cruel world… uh. This is the only arc that really comes flat out with the whole. Sweet, supportive, hardworking and innocent. In fact most of the romantic arcs don’t really acknowledge the cross-species aspect of the romance at all. Note: Despite the bishounen human pics that will accompany the bird images in all these screenshots the characters are all birds except for the protagonist. It works surprisingly well, possibly because it gives us some familiar things to hang onto to stay afloat in the really bizarre concept pool.

Every character is a cliche or a trope of some kind. The romance options here run the gamut from sweet to heartbreaking to what the hell were you thinking? to what were the writer’s smoking? There are too many manga tropes and cliches to name really. Think slice of life, but with pigeons, and a murderous political conspiracy centered around the school doctor. The basic storyline for the otome portion of the game centers around Hiyoko’s various misadventures during the school year. There’s actually a surprisingly detailed story here, especially once you’ve played through all the romance arcs and gotten to the Bad Boy’s Love storyline where the game becomes less dating sim and more suspense/thriller/sci-fi visual novel. She does kinda hold the idiot ball in a few of the routes but she’s still a likable character overall especially when her hunter-gatherer blood rages. She’s a bit of an airhead but in a usually amusing way and some of her more verbose lines (like the one above) are crazy awesome. The default name is Hiyoko Tosaka but you can give the character any name you like. Somehow the game manages to be even weirder than that description makes it sound but the weirdest thing about it by far is how good it is. In this game you play as a human girl attending an exclusive school for super-intelligent pigeons.

This could just be another case of Windows 8 not playing well with many games or it could be a bug that wasn’t caught in the conversion. The game is also available on Steam but I had some trouble with the Steam version not wanting to load from a saved game. The English FAQ and download links can be found here.

This is a thing that is happening.Ī game by Hato Moa.
