The sad pigeon-wings of destiny have swooped down on Hatoful Boyfriend , the game of love between birds and the one human who dares go to school among them. It was originally supposed to be out this month , but publisher Devolver Digital revealed today that the egg needs a little more time in the nest.

To paraphrase the mighty Samuel L. Jackson , you either want to play that, or you don't. Unfortunately for those in the former camp, you're going to have to wait a bit longer to launch your quest for avian amore . "Hatoful Boyfriend has been delayed just a bit to September 4 as @Mediatonic polishes up the game before it hatches!" Devolver Digital tweeted this afternoon.

No specific reason for the delay was given, only that it "needs just a smidgen more time in the pigeon nest before it hatches." And I think that's enough bird puns for one day, don't you?
