Some folks want to be a Sultan in every game. It makes them feel important and special. All harem all the time is no fun - there's no skill or real engagement if you get to bed and keep them all every single time.

Hi. It's my Mod for the game, available here (also the "Multi Mod" link on the first page).
The game does not have a skip button on it's own. In Windows you can use the tab key for that, in my Android port it's a swipe to the right. If really needed I could do a game patch for that.

Harem stuff aside, I think most people I've seen here would just prefer to be able to choose their end game LI (at least from the three main girls). I know it has been discussed to death, but I never understood the "only Emily" strategy in a visual novel where choice is paramount, but the dev had this in mind from the start so this is how it will be.
The risk you run of only having one true LI, is if she doesn't appeal to a wide audience. With Emily, she certainly has her fans, but she appeals to a very specific player demographic. That is why most games give players a variety of main LIs to select from that have not only different looks but different personalities.

That's right, I wanted officer Monroe or Luis as my main girls and I can't get them because we're stick with Emily.

The game has to appeal to the developer first, or the developer won't be interested enough to continue its development. Any developer trying to develop a game that is going to appeal to everyone will never really please anyone, so he pleases himself and a good chunk of other people that enjoy the game he's developing. This style will also set him apart from the "fuck 'em all, get your penicillin shot at the door" harem games which already have so many offerings from which to choose.
As for the choice of Emily here, the cute, small, feisty redhead has a wide appeal. Another nice appeal of this game is that he went with reasonable body types, not girls with breasts starting at "basketball" and going as far as "weather balloon" that seems to be prevalent in so many of the harem games.
This game is about the story and the "getting the one girl, but maybe having some interesting experiences along the way" not the "it's a frat and sorority orgy with unrealistic body types" "story" which, honestly, almost always lacks in "story" but is only about the sex scenes. That type of AVN will appeal to those without much intellectual horsepower, while this game will appeal more to someone with a few additional IQ points.
Too bad, the story ain't good and the games lack decent choices and interaction except for "peeking/not peeking". IQ points aren't required for a kinetic novel with a basic setting and unoriginal characters.

I think we are talking about different subjects. I am not disputing that devs should make their games for themselves first and foremost, or that Emily is "feisty," etc. I don't care about the body types as much as you apparently do. I certainly have preferences (older athletic ginger), but I can still get on with most AVN body shapes. And I can go either way with harems. If a game lets me choose my LI (from at least two or three unique ladies), then I am ok with no harem. I like that Emily is ginger, but her childlike inexperienced nature is something that I don't find appealing at all. Her tempter tantrums in the beginning didn't help either.
My subject is that the core of VNs and in particular AVNs is choice, especially when it comes to relationships. Without that choice, you are veering into kinetic novel territory. Part of my original issue was that nowhere is it explicitly stated that Emily is our "one girl." I only learned that Emily was our unavoidable destiny when I randomly happened upon a post about it in the thread. It never occurred to me to search for that topic before deciding to play HH because I've never even seen a non-harem AVN that doesn't allow you to choose LIs.
As I previously stated, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind (including the dev). I just think it is an odd decision not to give players the choice to select a girl they want to end up with in an AVN.

wow...not sure how I missed that one.
Well, Em is my nr 2 choice as a LI so being forced to be with her or be alone....

Well being a sultan would be cool but not in this case specifically. Emily is wack and Ashley is cool that's it but if we can't have it then that's it i guess. Game is still alright.

Damn it! She's way too cool not to be an LI. Ah, whatever. Thank you for the info!
Not really, this is the last progress info on Patreon from June 26:

Hey folks. Sorry again for being so quiet. EP10 is still very much in the early stages sorry to say. Thus far I've only done around 120 renders and about 900 lines of dialog. I'm still only just starting the being bad and staying at the club story branch. After that's done I'll do the going home with Em side of things. Each side is pretty long with a lot of renders, animation and pretty involved naughty scenes.
Initial plan for EP10 was to do all of the above as well as the entirety of the next day (which is the weekend). But at this rate I might just wrap up and release EP10 just as the night end after finishing the two branching path. It'll be a shorter episode because of the split path, but it can be replayed to see both, together they'll make up the same play time as a single linear episode.
Anyhoo, that Vampire Samantha render doesn't have anything to do with anything. Just a special treat from me as an apology for being so quite on Patreon. Enjoy.
