Evaluation

Bokuten - Why I Became an Angel is a visual novel that released on December 19, 2019. Its two DLC items — an original soundtrack collection and an OVA+album bundle — both shipped the following day on December 20, 2019, completing the game's content package. There has been no major content update or expansion at any point since launch. Notably, a developer news post from April 8, 2021 announced that MUSICUS! is OVERDRIVE's "Final Title," confirming the studio has concluded its game development work entirely. With the studio no longer producing new games, no unreleased DLC, and no post-launch content pattern, Bokuten shipped as a complete product and has remained so.

About this game

After accidentally shooting an angel out of the sky, you—a cynic who doesn't believe in love—are forced to shoulder the angel's mission of helping the couples of the world. While the angel believes that love will always bring happiness, it falls upon you to decide.

The relationships you encounter are never that simple, and the question of what is ultimately best for all involved only grows more complex with each one. So you must decide if each love is truly worth rekindling, and live with the consequences of your decision. 

What do you believe will lead to the most happiness?

  • Star-Crossed Classmates

  • A Love Forged Over The Internet

  • A Couple Forced To Choose Between Their Love And Their Dream

  • Three More Tenuous Pairings, Plus Your Own With Each Heroine!

The best choice is rarely clear, and mostly subjective. There are always consequences in either case, and an emotional ride is all that's guaranteed.

Experience unforgettable tracks, including 9 vocal songs composed by the rockstars at OVERDRIVE.
