SUMMARY: If you were expecting a decent follow-up to Hatoful Boyfriend, you will be disappointed. The Ugly – Still no text skip option for previously read text versus all skip.
The Bad – But the narrative as a whole is lacking in substance, even for Hatoful. The Good – The humor is pretty good in some spots. Get it on a good sale if you are still curious. But at $10, that might be asking for too much.
After all we all know that those suck, and perhaps the game is best viewed as its previous entry was, with it being the visual novel equivalent to YouTube Poop. If Hatoful Boyfriend was a parody on otome and dating sims, then Holiday Star is a parody of fan-discs and Christmas specials. Perhaps I'm missing something about this game. At least there's cross-saving, and there don't seem to any typos, so that's good. The engine still lacks a skip text buttons that doesn't have a 'skip only read text' option. There are some jokes that are great, but overall it's just lacking. The game seems more like a fan-disc is this sense, as the total length of the game is about four hours tops. Maybe it's mostly for the fact is that it's so short. Okosan is still the best bird boy, and there are some of the same absurd shenanigans going on in the game as there ever has been. Sadly it's less entertaining than before. Its last two stories are tied together, and are about how the birds all get caught up in an evil dream dimension. Four short stories are there to play in sequence, covering Christmas and New Year's as per the title suggests. There are choices to be made in the game, but the earlier ones just alter the dialog, with later choices lead to a game over. Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star is actually a bit unlike the first entry, in that it plays more like a kinetic visual novel where you read the story with no branching paths whatsoever. And what's there isn't exactly exciting stuff. I say 'may', because it's not a true follow-up, but rather a fan-disc type of release. If you liked Hato Mao's HD remastering of Hatoful Boyfriend, then you might be pleased to know that there is a follow-up with Holiday Star.
