Dating Sims at the Humble Bundle

stormdogMy dad pointed me at the current Humble Indie Bundle of the week. It's dating sims! *bounces* I've looked for dating sims on my phone, but almost all of what I find is unplayably poor translations of Japanese games. Here, I can pick up six for less than $6.
One of them is a cute game called Roommates, which is a college slice-of-life sim that I've already played through the free version of on my phone. It was one of the few good ones, so I think it's worth the price by itself. I don't know the other ones, but they look interesting at the least.
And I'm going to give them $10 to get Hatoful Boyfriend as well. If you haven't heard of Hatoful Boyfriend, it's one of those wonderfully bizarre things that could only come from Japan. You are a human girl who lives in a world where most of the human population was wiped out by a terrible disease that also mutated birds into human-sized, intelligent creatures. You are attending an avian high school. And as noted, this is a dating sim.Yes. I read through a play-through with screenshots a year or two ago and it was *way* too funny not to spring for.
(But I'm not going to pay the $35 to get a pillowcase with one of the Hatoful Boyfriend characters on it....)

Here's that playthrough I mentioned. This is *hilarious*. The author begins, " I have a horrible cold and I am miserable so naturally I am dating pigeons."
