The loveable birds of Hatoful Boyfriend are back in the remastered holiday-themed sequel Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star!
Developed by Mediatonic · Published by Epic Games
Holiday Star is an episodic, holiday-themed visual novel set in winter wonderlands. Familiar bird characters return alongside new faces in stories that mix romance, comedy, and unexpected turns.
Players read through four main episodes and six side stories, meeting the cast in fantastically styled settings. Ryouta's radio show adds character-focused segments, including responses to listener questions.
Some episodes include choices that can lead to a game over. The side stories and radio segments offer additional character moments beyond the main episodes.
Players who enjoyed the game often highlight its deeper-than-expected character stories, additional lore about returning birds, and surprising emotional turns. Reviews also praise the new characters, illustrated backgrounds, and Ryouta's radio segments. Some players found it shorter and less choice-driven than the first game.
