Need a new plush friend to add to your collection? Consider contributing to the Hatoful Boyfriend Kickstarter!  The team behind the popular pigeon dating sim has recently launched a Kickstarter to bring their characters to life with the aid of pledges and stuffing. Wait, pigeon dating? That’s a thing?

Hatoful Boyfriend is a Japanese pigeon dating sim game series, originally created by Hato Moa as an April fool’s joke in 2011. If you haven’t yet be indoctrined into the Dating Sim world, Hatoful Boyfriend is a text-based visual novel where almost all characters, except the player, are birds. The player has been invited as the human ambassador to the prestigious school, St. PigeoNation’s. It is up to the player to make friends and find love among their avian classmates. Yes, you are continuing to read that correctly. Players have to be careful, as every choice they make has the potential to change the ending of the game.

The story stands out from other games in the genre by combing a unique setting, twisted sense of humor, and extremely satirical elements. Because of this, Hatoful Boyfriend has built a dedicated fan base and quickly grown from a practical joke into a franchise that has now been brought to Windows, OSX, Linux, Playstation 4, and Playstation Vita. Who doesn’t love a game where you can fall in love with a guy who coos at you?

And now you can take the obsession even further by snuggling with your very own pigeon-boy counterpart.

At the time of this post, Hatoful Boyfriend’s Kickstarter has well surpassed it’s goal of 25,000$ and has raised 76,399$ with the aid of 1,317 backers who are ready to add these plushies to their collections! The Hatoful Boyfriend Kickstarter has 27 days to raise additional funds. Will you be contributing?
