#HiyokuNoTori came out in February, how did it fly entirely under the radar? The Steam page doesn't even mention it's BL, I had to find that out from VNDB. Maybe the company was more focused on marketing to a Chinese audience? (It even has dual Japanese & Chinese voice tracks) But it does have an English translation.
Finished this. Kinda meh. "Seven different endings" is kinda misleading; it's a linear plot with a few choices that either continue the story or lead to an abrupt dead end. Episodic mystery story that I think struggled to come together thematically, and the shades of copaganda were annoying. (cont'd)
BL elements were what old fans would call pre-slash lol, one main love interest (sexual harassment boss) & a rival figure (ex-partner) with some flirting & of course the eye licking (it has a plot explanation but it's ridiculous) that doesn't actually go anywhere conclusive, but I figured that might be the case from how it was advertised. (cont'd)
On the technical side, minor engine issue with text display (punctuation gets pushed to the next line) and you can't select text & voice language independently (only English or Japanese with Japanese voice or Chinese with Chinese voice).
Anyway, not something to rush out & play, but I'm not mad at paying $7 for it and it's currently on sale for $5, so.
