On the topic of the game's story (and even general direction), i can only talk for myself, but i will say story is never something i look for in a porn game. I'm usually looking for... well... porn. That's why i very rarely play visual novels: i have no interest in reading sometimes hours of cutscenes just to get to a single, sometimes very short, scene. That's why i usually drop any game that takes more than a couple minutes to both: give me control of the character and give me some porn (serious, why the heck do developers think it's a nice idea to have sometimes half hour prologes to their porn games?! Especially when those prologes are just "click next simulator")

Now, Harem Hotel is pretty much an exception to me, as it's a more sandbox-ish type of visual novel that balances out it's story and porn very well (for the most part). But i would still say the story parts are... well, i never really liked them, and aways felt they were a chore i had to skim through to get to what really matters to me. Sorry, but when i'm horny i won't get invest in a ten minutes flashback or exposition, as engaging as the developer tries to make them.

Now, i'm not trying to offend enyone. By the end of the day, this is Runey's game, and they do what they see fit. But with any art, there is the vision of the author, and there is what the audience absorves, and that last bit will vary greatly from person to person. I believe many here love those characters, and care for them as one would any regular character from a story one really likes. And while i do care for this characters a lot more than i do in other porn games, i'm not still quite that into them. I still come back to this game for the porn first, and i believe many would feel the same.

It's not a matter of right and wrong, it's just everyone has their preferences and their own unique way of interacting with each piece of media they consume.
Harem Hotel has a lot of story, it is after all a visual "novel". But when you're horny and don't want to bother with story, that's when you go to the dungeon, their room, the beach, or lust events, etc for a quick fuck.

I have always assumed that if the player just wanted to bust a nut, they'd go to pornhub. Why are they here though? Because they want a story with porn in it. And I don't think Maria telling you she was adopted would have the same feeling if your cock was in her ass, you know?

I gotta agree with you on all accounts. I think part of the problem is that I've completed all of the exhibition/dungeon "side quest" scenes, so really the only new sex scenes are from the main story which require clicking through hours of dialogue for that doesn't particularly intrigue me when I just want to bust a nut.
Check my message above.

I also add new repeatable sex scenes almost every update. This update I recreated a ton of exhibitionism content and dungeon content, and added a good amount of lust content for Maria, as per the patch notes. If you horny when you downloaded this game, I assume you would go for unlocking Emma's dungeon content immediately for example.

Runey, not a lot of games make me want to replay back to the beginning and porn games would have a much harder time to convince me to do that compared to regular games. I can count how many make me want to from F95 with 1 hand. Harem Hotel is one of the exotic gems I can say is counted among that 1 hand. That is how much you amazed me with your creation. So after I read what the latest update entails, it is a safe bet I will start over just to see the remade parts with the girls. Thank you so much! At first it was just to see sexy stuff when I first played this game but the story is so engaging that half the time I don't think about getting my physical satisfaction. The game as a whole is virtually flawless.

Thank you so much! I hope v0.11 strikes a good balance between sex and story

I did read it, but it's full of lies so what was the point? The download still stops at 4.99gigs and starts requesting a payment. The google drive link is already dead and this nopy fails between 1-2 gigs after 3 attempts.
Very true, so what you do then is wait about 2 to 3 hours and the DL will finish. I use Mega all the time, and have NEVER had to pay, though I admit that depending on if I download past my limit, I have to wait 2 to 3 hours to get it to finish. and I KNOW that this has been noted, stated, and explained multiple times within this thread. DAmn dude, use the search function and find your answers rather than calling someone a liar!

Saves don't work for me. Got the typical "No module named matrix" error. No idea what causes it.
Same here with the first compressed version(no mods). If you still keep your old version - just search for all files named matrix within the Harem_Hotel-v0.10-pc folder and replace them at the exact same places in the new version. Seems to work for now...

The download speed is 100 KBps while on Nopy/Mega it's 10 MBps :confused:
Q: Why is there only Anonfiles to download it from?
A: First officially doesn't limit your bandwidth nor have a time/size limit. And secondly it is simple, as I don't have to register. Also for Nopy you need to receive an invitation and I don't have one.
