The game
The game being reviewed in this video is Hatoful Boyfriend, a bird dating simulator developed by Pigeonation Inc. and released in 2011. Lily was playing the PS4 version of the game, as if that even matters.

Story
Hatoful boyfriend takes place in the year 2188[bird lore] and follows the protagonist, a generic anime schoolgirl female hunter gatherer living in a cave who attends a school for gifted birds. There is no solid explanation as to why you, a human[debatable] is attending a school for hyper intelligent birds.

Darker sub-story
Look, there's probably some kind of creepypasta shit going on here. There are abandoned city ruins, a secret agency watching you, and what the hell actually happened to the humans anyway?

Gameplay
The gameplay of Hatoful Boyfriend is similar to any other dating sim or visual novel; the only input you have is selecting dialogue options and thus the only buttons needed are a D-pad and an X button. The objective of the game is to fall in love with a bird by the end of your second term. If you don't, The government comes and get's you. Just like real life[citation needed].
