@Runey I see a lot of people asking for (sexual) content with Ellen, and I believe it comes from either her being so incredibly hot and within reach or her being a MILF, or actually both of them. Bottom line is: the Harem is missing a MILF character, and I know you mentioned something about not having a solid idea for one or something along those lines earlier in the thread, but if you're so adamant about Ellen story being done with the MC's grandfather, have the next person to join the Hotel a MILF. Just my opinion.

Should been a warning somewhere with that Lin event. I was not prepared to be thrown in a never ending scene. I downloaded the new version and turned it on just to make sure it worked and everything. Went downstairs got thrown into the new girl scene, then right after thrown into the Lin event. Its like woah. Slow down. Not ready yet.... :/

hello friends. can anyone here help me with an issue i've been stuck on ?

so i got to lvl 6 friendship with kali since the beggining of the game and now im almost at the end ( i mean there is nothing else to do) and still i have no other interactions with her.
but i guess that problems eventually became another problem. i cant interact with Android girls in her room anymore. : " i think i saw her going to Kali's room ... " message is messing me up. no talk options no nothing. i searched thoroughly the thread and i didnt find and answer to this.
what should i do?
here is my current save if anyone can take a look
So, Kali's friendship is 6? To increase her friendship to 7, there should be a "Talk" option on her door. But perhaps since her friendship is fairly low, and Android's is fairly high, you may have encountered an odd bug. The fix to this would be increasing Kali's friendship until you can continue with Android, or decreasing Android's friendship to continue with Kali. Both of these options would require you to open the console. You can enable the console with Unren. Type one of the following (whichever fix you choose to do from the above): kali_friendship += 1 | bot_friendship -=1


Tried to decide which scene to save for last in hope of ending on a happy note. Choice wound up between Android and Emma.

I chose poorly.

Well, this is an interesting bit of new direction. Personally I like the solidly lighthearted tone of previous updates, but I expect I'll enjoy this too, and I do have faith that you'll write it well. It makes sense to me that Maria and Ashley should have some emotional issues frankly, and we know to a small degree about how Emma and Felicity have had it rough too. Was a bit bummed about how maria said her and mc weren't really close. I like her character a lot. That said, I do think she has a point that their interactions have been heavily based around sex from the start and it makes sense that she needs some space from that. Again, I trust the good writing will continue.

I'll just dearly hope it doesn't descend into well-written all out tragedy at some point. I like all these characters.

Random little aside: I do hope Sylvia gets free. I did not like her at all at first, but realizing the risks she took to do what she thinks is the right thing, even if she does it in just about the most condescending way possible, has raised my opinion of her a fair bit. I'm also very curious about the elf who seemed to want to make sure neither MC or sylvia gave away particular information...

Also I do hope Autumn and her family get a bit more development of, and eventually some appreciaton for, their abolitionist beliefs. Sure, they're not like underground railroad heroes or something, but I do get the sense that autumn is sincere and wellmeaning and while she's too pushy and conversationally inept sometimes, I think that, even with all her faults, it would be far, far better world if more people in it thought like her.

Unfortunately she seems quite unlikely to persuade anyone, heh, but hey, at least there's always social reform via sex competitions! (I'm so proud of Lin...)

Alrighty I've just sort of stream of consciousness blabbed about this enough for now. As always, I look forward to the next update.
Thank you! I think you experienced the events exactly how I hoped they would be experienced.

v0.5 had a lot of sadness going around to build up to the better parts. It's hard to tell where the story is headed when you only get a little slice of the pie each time, so I can understand your worried 100%. Through these sad events, I hope the player will bond with these characters more, and learn more about them.

Sylvia is good hearted, but she comes from a pretentious peoples. On one hand, she sees all other Elves as deserters, on the other hand, they're Sylvia's people that she can't abandon.

I set up Autumn to be a little annoying and somewhat disliked so her story and flourish later on. Such as with the Twins, I think this makes for good character building. I would definitely say Autumn is sincere and well meaning as well, but she was raised to believe one way was right, and all others needed fixing. Her father in particular is said to be a heroic man standing up for all Elves, and it was him who convinced everyone to give the Elves the Rights they have now.

Thank you again for your comments!

MILFs are definitely planned, although it is hard to make a MILF who is submissive, and needs to be taught things, as all the other girls. I think one of the two main lovely features MILFs have is experience. Experience doesn't quite fit in with Harem Hotel's story of training and overcoming a character's shortcomings.

Ellen will definitely get some story, but she's a side character. Content must be sacrificed for other content. My goal in v0.6 is 1 story event minimum for each main character (maybe 2 or 3 for Autumn) and to focus on all side characters. Such as some Lucy story, getting Jin into the hotel, some Ellen story, perhaps something with Juliet and Kate. My other goal for v0.6 would be the introduction of the Bar. You would hire a waitress, and a bartender. You would also upgrade your bar with better staff training, better food, better beer, etc etc. I also want Maria's story to allow her to work as the bartender. Maria is without purpose at the moment, and she needs money. I think it's a good fit for her.

Thrown into a Lin event? You need to talk to Ellen to start that event, and you can roll back with your mousewheel to exit out of any mistakes. It shouldn't have thrown you randomly into an event.

Yeah, I remember now this is exactly what you said back then. I also remember them telling you about adding a MILF who hadn't had experience or something, so I guess that last part is already kinda covered with Autumn.

These bits do sound really interesting, I'm looking forward to that already.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much!

Ellen's Room is behind her, it's not a closet.

Actually, I'm not really sure what it is right now. Currently I have no plans for what it could be. That's why Android calls it a closet (Which I've changed to room). But I will be planning some stuff out soon.

I do want to allow you to take the girls to the hot springs as an affection raising date from the lobby hangout events.

Ellen loved your grandfather as much as some of the girls love you now. Your grandfather was Ellen's MC. She's never going to love MC. Your grandfather is her soulmate, and she's in pain from his death. I do want to add story to her, and I do think you'll be able to have fun with her.
love the game like many others, but do you seriously have no ending or goal in mind? conceivably, this game can go on forever, just add more women (or men) if that's the case.

No ending or goal in mind? I mentioned I haven't thought about what exactly is behind Ellen, not each character's story.

I don't have anything written down for an ending, but I do have ideas for some of the characters. Some others, I still don't know enough about. I don't plan my events ahead usually, I typically go with the flow. I see what's happened, who they are, what they would do, and what new can be learned, then I go forward from there.

A week before I start working on each update, I write down the whole update's story lines for each character.

Whether you see this is bad for me lacking to plan ahead, or good for me being able to know these characters so well that I'm able to make new things on the spot is up to you.

I know two things for sure. I know where I want each character to begin, and I know where I want each character to end. How exactly would be written down a week before starting work on the update, usually I change that up when I'm actually making the event.

Of course, Harem Hotel isn't done, and changes will be made to previous story events if they're seen fit, and I'll even be adding in new story events in between old ones if I see fit as well. In other words, Harem Hotel isn't done, I'm not just adding more on top of what I already have, I'm adding and changing things to make the best story I can possibly make

Thanks for the wonderful game! It's great, and definitely my favorite H-game yet!

A question though: Is there anything planned with some of the affection options? Such as a few more choices to maybe get some bonus fun times or affection points? Example being that you can Ashley drunk but nothing comes of it, and I don't think you get bonus affection for buying her booze.

It could be the mother of Ashley. She has already visited the game once, she was hot, and she might follow a hidden urge to explore a bit after whazt she saw back then. Just a short idea. From then on runey could make her a milf desperately trying to try out stuff and the MC being the one trying to help her not to overdo it - something like this. If interested I could explain it with some more details and ideas, it's just a basic idea how to implement a milf and give her a story. She would be drawn by a dissatisfying (or boring or even abusive) marriage.

I would love to do more with stats and traits. Although that stuff hasn't been a priority yet. Perhaps in v0.7? Who knows. But I'm all ears for suggestions!

Ashley's Mom is a no go for me, unfortunately.

However, I have been pondering the idea of a Mother/Daughter duo to join the hotel, much like Felicity & Emma. Perhaps the mother would see your eyes upon her daughter, and offer herself to you in her place, and the daughter would go behind her mother's back and try to be rebellious and suck your cock. Eventually they could love you the same, and the Daughter would end up calling you Daddy.

Just a thought ;)

That sounds pretty attractive in my book, I enjoy those kind of "Do whatever you want with me, but leave my daughter (or anything else, really) alone" acts. Specially when you do get your way with the other person anyway, just like you're describing.

Great game, but is crying out for a milf or two - My preference would be for some mother in law type of fantasy stuff.

Anyway, apparently there are hidden exhibition scenes? Anyone knows how to unlock those?

Advancing in technology doesn't mean the decrease in slavery.
Increased technology doesn't lead to the abolition of slavery directly, but increased education standards preclude large sections of the population viewing one race as animals.
In fact, in real life there are more slaves than ever have been in one point in time (I believe this is true, but I could be wrong), but I'm not trying to use that as an excuse.
There may be more slaves by number, but that is only due to the vastly increased population over the last few hundred years. And modern slavers do not operate openly in any civilised country. The existence of modern slavery does not support the kind of slavery seen in the game.
A lot people in HH see elves as animals. It's a different type of slavery.
On the contrary, it's exactly analogous to slavery in the 17th and 18th centuries. Back then, it was a common belief that only whites were human, thus it was acceptable to enslave people who weren't. What is the difference between that and elves in HH, except that modern people should know better?
I'm sorry, but I don't think you've brought up anything that makes this form of slavery less believable. This system can't last forever, the slavery of Elves is a new concept people are taking advantage of.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't elves supposed to have been enslaved for 300 years? That is hardly a new thing. 300 years ago was before the industrial revolution, but I don't think anyone would call a steam engine a new concept.
Bottom line, I don't want anything to do with the sub-culture of slavers. I just want to mind my own business, and watch them get crushed by overwhelming public opinion from a distance (as realistically should have happened long ago, for reasons I've made clear). Lin being a slave as her background is weird, but we can ignore it (as I did at first). You drag that into the foreground, we have to think about it more, and it all breaks down.

While I agree with your logic, we have slavery in the world today. Also,
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So maybe its a cultural issue rather than one of education or morality.

There may be more slaves by number, but that is only due to the vastly increased population over the last few hundred years. And modern slavers do not operate openly in any civilised country. The existence of modern slavery does not support the kind of slavery seen in the game.
Is the UAE not civilized?

With the major difference that they were in fact, wrong. Elves are not human. Doesn't justify it, sentience is more than enough reason for me to free any creature, but this is why people caution storytellers who attempt to use non-human allegories to racial tension.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't elves supposed to have been enslaved for 300 years? That is hardly a new thing. 300 years ago was before the industrial revolution, but I don't think anyone would call a steam engine a new concept.

I don't disagree with your sentiment of not wanting to participate in the slavery any more than you have to. In fact, Runey, we could "underground railroad" these slaves we take into the hotel. Free them in secret, essentially, allowing them to choose to serve if they want. I already kinda want Sylvia to be an actual character, not just a side thing.

However, given the fact that slavery in this universe is treated with the slaves themselves having "human rights" I have to assume that the major difference between this universe and ours is the lack of a civil war. War has a tendency to change things very quickly. Politics, on the other hand, move slowly. So, as activists work to abolish slavery through the civil system, without a revolutionary act, be it a civil disobedience campaign, or a war, the slaves' material conditions are being improved, but slowly with the dragging feet of the democratic process.

Every page. Every damn page someone asks about the riddle.

Edit: Some musings about terminology regarding the slavery debate:
A slave has to be a person. If they are not a person, they can not be a slave. They are either a pet, or a tool.
I would assume, from how they are treated, that pet is closer.
The question as to when something is a tool or a person is prominently covered by android.

Thank you so much!
You're welcome. You Rule!
Currently I have no plans for what it could be. That's why Android calls it a closet (Which I've changed to room). But I will be planning some stuff out soon.
Sweet! Don't knock your self out about it tho. I was just goofing about that room. Android says its a closet and I don't have any reason not to believe her. I'm a fine example of an obsessive compulsive gamer. If there's a door...must click....
Actually, I've kind of been thinking of it as the Hostess's 'water' closet. It's not like she can step away from the counter for long.
I do want to allow you to take the girls to the hot springs as an affection raising date from the lobby hangout events.
I figured as much. Or you would have! I was just reaching for ideas.
It's such a nicely rendered room, compared to say the Utility Room, and unlike the beach/coffee shop it's always available without interacting with a girl first. So, in my mind, it sort of cries out for a little more functionality. (Plus if I had one of those, I'd be in it all the time.)
Your grandfather is her soulmate, and she's in pain from his death.
I remember. She said as much before. I can respect that.
Ellen's a pretty cool kitty. She does already have content, which was really good BTW. It's not surprising people want more of her.
I was just getting frustrated.
Technically, you see Ellen more than any other girl, cause the MC has to walk past the front desk a couple times a day.
The other girls are getting so fleshed out with their different stories. But, clicking on Ellen is like calling a friend who never picks up the phone.
(Press 1 to find out how to get more tenents. Press 2 to find out how to get more money. Press 3 to to find out.....)
I was just wishing for some interaction.

*GRIN* Its not like I'm expecting my OCD make your to-do list or anything.

And hey! Thanks for being so responsive! Just for that I'm going to become a Patron.
(assuming I can dig up my log-in info. it's been a while.)

@Runey
I've played about half the game and have to say it's awesome. I love Lola's character and the options she has, only thing I'd ask for her is if you could "permanently" change breast size, for all applications, not just during the sequences that ask for it. So they'd be a small, or larger size during random encounters.

Two small gripes though aside from everything else being awesome.

Could the cumming scenes be a bit more fleshed out instead of just instantly ending the animation? Or is that a lot of extra work? (It kinda kills the pacing of it, granted the options mid sex kinda do too, but that's understandable).

And I noticed with Maria, after she shows you the pierced nipple, she suddenly doesn't have it in later scenes and such. What's the dealio?
