Is the gameplay similar to Man Of the House and by gameplay i mean navigation and etc if not is there anything to compare it to? some info would be nice...
As for unity i am glad he kept working on it...like he said if the dev knows what he is doing its a very good engine...
there many good games from AAA devs that use it...
It's a bit early to say, but having played the tech demo (yes I'm a patron) I'd describe the gameplay at this stage as something akin to the Hentai High School games. You have some girls who work for you, you assign them to different jobs in a building, you pay money to build/unlock areas, and guests go to those areas and interact with the rooms/employees. You get money, stats go up or down, you see a few scenes/screens/images to see the results of your actions, etc.

There are obviously some pretty major differences: custom 3D graphics (though not much at all of those new graphics yet, most of the graphics being repurposed for the tech demo's sake from MotH. I'd honestly consider calling this tech demo a 'proof of concept' more than a game), comparatively more unique but presumably far fewer characters, and obviously in a hotel rather than a school. I'd also suggest that, while nothing is set in stone yet and this is just from one player's perspective, the game is more focused than the HHS games on giving the player a clear game narrative while being comparatively simulation-light rather than being a heavy simulation game with small side vignettes and side stories like HHS+ for example.

All told, I generally like where it's going (provided there's an incest angle, obv.), but I really don't think there's enough to see here yet in terms of new H-content to give players not already invested in Faerin's stuff a good impression of where things are going yet. My expectation is that when the first official game demo gets released (hopefully an X-mas present or earlier?), then I imagine Faerin himself will let the game into the wild and see what people think.

Yeah, I've also played the tech demo.
It seems it will be a long marathon until there is enough content. The demo has the typical humor and hints at some interesting mechanics, but tells us not much about the narrative or the story. I suspect it will be quite the marathon until we get enough content (no way around it) and I'll be really interested about if the game will be easy to mod... mostly because I'm almost 100% certain some people would love to insert a bunch of MotH characters in it :D

Sounds a tiny bit like Harem Hotel, but this time with Daz3D... I can dig it.. I did enjoy MotH despite people hating it for being a "fossil of yesteryear when incest was the rage".

I just hope Faerin has learned ren'py, as Unity is kinda crappy... then again he did keep his game small unlike say... :ucky Mark that went to 18GB WTF !!!
The only game engine i would consider crappy in most ways it's used for porn games is RPGM and games that use the RGSS3 player, because you know I really enjoy having to stop enjoying myself for a minute or 2 of walking/running around especially when you don't know where to go if you missed the text

RPG Maker games can be played using one hand. Up, down, left, right, confirm and cancel are all you really need and are within reach of your right hand. Learn to fap using your left and you'll be fine. Also, don't hold the cancel key because that's also fast-forward text.
Ruby may be a mess but there are devs out there that really know how to use it.

The sister is hot but sadly the mom does nothing for me.

Mmm. I was initially going to defend the new mom's looks, but after taking another gander at the pics from the demo...yeah. I think the trouble for me is that she's got kind of a 'lantern jaw' thing going on. Like her face is too rectangular or something.
There's nothing wrong with making her a bit more age-appropriate this time, wrinkles etc., but if we just saw a headshot of her with a buzzcut and no makeup, I don't think it would be a hard stretch to think she looked like a dude.

I mean I understand the appeal of the girls looking more life-like as it in fact makes it rather more interesting. But it seems like she has the same facial traits as the son boss, rather make it look more like the daughter other worker.

No news ?
On Dec. 9th, from Faerin's Patreon:
"Hey guys,

Here's a quick preview for this month's update of Mystwood Manor.
I expect to release it towards the end of the month and hope to finish all the main characters and locations by then.

This update will contain the backstory and introduce the "cast".
After that I should be able to add more content, as initially creating the scenes/characters takes a lot of time, but after they are finished they can be re-used for future updates.

I will also put up a poll for one of the new girls this week, so keep an eye out for that!"

That's pretty much all I know as far as this game's development goes. The Discord doesn't seem to have any hints either, aside from the fact (which I didn't realize) that the X-mas DLC for MotH just dropped on Steam today. Hopefully it's a smooth launch. Can't wait for things to settle down so Faerin can get back to his old rhythm of (reasonably) substantial boobgame content drops every month.

Looking forward to Mystwood Manor as huge MOTH fan but one thing I'd suggest as a minor thing is if you're going for similar events based gameplay try to avoid MOTH's Sunday problem by not having too many weekend events stacking at once.

What I mean is I've played MOTH through a few times and I've found each time if you progress the characters at a steady pace you hit a point where suddenly the mother, both sisters and Emma all need beach visits at the same time to progress to more weekday events and these then stack with Sophias training ones, so you have a point where you have to work through 5 weeks of Sundays where you only have one characters events then unlocking after each and if you're not cheating the rest of the time grinding.

It's a minor thing as I said but if there is a major event like those in MM I'd move them around the week a bit.

Hello. I would like to ask you if the version of the latest game right after MOTH as Mystwood Manor when exactly it can come. I would like to see, and with the next updates, or also if anyone would be so willing to translate it into various languages besides English. I know that the game first goes out in English and then passes if it is a matter of translating into another language. I would be very grateful if the game had Polish, but if it were different, it would probably have the same playability as MOTH. Regards.

to early for translations. Mystwood Manor is still a "tech demo".

I understand you the most. So from here in the message I gave that maybe in further updates when the official version occurs you could think about just other languages. And that's it.
