Today, of course, we’re focusing on the most Chrismasy of side stories, “The Christmas Thieves Attack!” And each side story only has one possible ending-unless you count death, in which case there are multiple endings. All of these short episodes are set in the main character’s second year of high school, just like the original.
Holiday Star is a collection of side stories, the first of which is set at Christmastime, within one (or a few) of the possible timelines from Hatoful Boyfriend.
I liked the original visual novel so much, I ended up buying Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star, too. That’s about as much sense as I can hope to make. You should also know that this is set in apost-apocalyptic world where birds are an intelligent species and dominate society. Human Tosaka Hiyoko is attending Saint Pigeonation’s Institute as part of an effort to improve bird-human relations. He’s also key to the big, central story, and he hosts the radio sessions in Holiday Star. I’d try to explain more, but this screenshot of Ryouta hosting bonus “radio” episodes pretty much says all you need to know: Ryouta is one of the “dateable” characters in main game. At first, it appears to be a dating sim featuring pigeon love interests, but it’s both a lot more ridiculous and a lot deeper than that. Hatoful Boyfriend is quite possibly my favorite visual novel, not that I’ve played/read enough for that statement to mean much.
