Devolver Digital to localize remake of pigeon-dating sim Hatoful Boyfriend
My Dearest,
It is I, your Hatoful Boyfriend. I can contain my unbridled passion for you no longer. I must see you. And whereas before our love was previously separated by a seemingly uncrossable ocean called the Pacific, a company called Devolver Digital is partnering with an institution known as Mediatronic to make my trip from Japan to the United States of America possible.
They'll say it's wrong - that human and pigeon should not lie together. But I don't care! I long to coo with you under barn roofs, skyscraper ledges, park benches and wherever a freshly-washed car needs soiling. And I promise to always provide whatever you need, be it a wing to hide under the rain or a steady supply of popcorn to keep you fat and healthy. Let us grow and develop a nest egg together. I arrive this summer.
Love,
Your Hatoful Boyfriend
