VN - Ren'Py - Harem Hotel [v0.18.2] [Runey]

Ooooooof...... Runey u r a GOD. And that sentence alone is sufficient to describe my feeling towards this game.

I don't usually give reviews unlike It's an unexpected masterpiece like this game. So here it is,

Characters: as usual the thing I most craved for in a game like this is a character. I don't care whether she's a bitch, toxic or anything else. She's just need to be realistic not a blank slate. And suffice to say every character here has that thing. You'll see a cute devoted maid type elf, a sexy glass girl with slight tsundere attitude, a little yandere, a sexy bisexual girl who's add spice to every one's story, and more.

Graphic and Sex Scenes: Well, it's a porn game after all. Don't u worry it has enough scenes to satisfy everyone. Graphic and renders r top notch.

Story & plot: Didn't expect much of story at the beginning but dude it surprised me at the end. Has backstory for every character you see.

P.S. Dear lord Runey, bless us with some more Ellen scenes, she deserves it. Y'know we have seen enough Lolis and stuffs, just need some milfs to release our volcano now.

Thank you & sorry for my English not a native one.*

Not that bad.

I has to say so much shit talk for other chrachters that parts are a bit boring

Maybe more music more work for chracters game 'll be best.





Other Girls:

Ellen: Deserve more scenes. She is hot piece,

Sylvia: Best ones in elves she need more scenes to

Ashley: M*ther f*cker that crazy bitch was ok when games start but after all she ll be keep boring but i had to say u ended her story better than middle game. She is crazy man i literally never play her after she give pills until Felicity and Emma story need 36 lwl Ashley.

Dude don't do that.Ashley is so f*cking boring...

Maria,Felicity and Emma,Kali,Lin.. I realy enjoy to play them parts.

Great game with great characters. Each character is unique and develops in different and interesting ways. Yet despite all being different the characters interact and evolve alongside the other characters in the game

Solid game! Blown away by the amount of content, seriously its ALOT more than I expected and was pleasantly surprised by it.
TL;DR: Easily a 9/10 game, the one point loss is mainly because it uses HS render, I don't mind anime style, but HS is a bit ...overused and characters from every game starts to get "similar".

Pros:
Tons of Content, TONS.
Characters have personalities and "feel different".
Doesn't have a convoluted branching story line. (AKA no need for multiple playthroughs to unlock everything)
Easily completable without needing to use a guide, due to the above reason.

Cons:
Honey Select characters
Most scenes are not replayable from Gallery (Real tragedy there really)
Tricky to know if all scenes have been discovered or not (due to above reason)
Not enough scenes with Ellen (Seriously more Ellen please!)

I just finished playing [0.10] and I am amazed by the depth and quality of the game! I had initially tried the game in early 2018, I think maybe within the first month/ week of it showing on f95 and basically had tossed it aside thinking of it as a copy of "Mythic Manor" (Similar style of MC living with a female cast, AKA harem and a world of mystical creatures) and had not checked on it for the last 2 years.

Boy have I ever been so wrong, this game is truly a gem I missed out on just by not checking up on it post the initial impression, (the size of the download didn't help either given my impressions at the time) but it was totally worth every byte! Every character gets their own "arc" and every character than seems like a cliche archetype at the start of the game and when you meet them can truly surprise you with the story! (Even if you hold ctrl to skip 80% of the time like me), the visuals themselves offer enough context and peak interest, where I actually rewinded just to read what was going on.
My only issue with the game is the character style, given that it uses HS character builder, when you have played enough other hentai games and also played HS, the faces start to get pretty....common. But I think this game does a good job to trying to "mask" that fact (pun very much intended) and I feel like it does a decent job at it too. Most of the time it doesn't bother me, but sometimes its like "wait does maria have the same face as X from game Y ...?"
The gallery is deceptively small for how many scenes the game really has, personally I dislike games without a gallery system since I don't want to save scum just to go watch a specific scene I enjoyed. Wish the gallery was extended to accommodate more scenes! Also the completionist me doesn't know if I am done with every scene or not because of this.

Overall impression is again, a solid 9/10, long game, but doesn't feel grindy as it rewards you plenty for your time! Worth the large chunk of download, easily more content(WAY MORE) than most games of larger sizes.
Looking forward to the upcoming releases, definitely keeping an eye on this one.

Androids and Fairies and Elves, Oh My!

TL;DR: 9/10 - PRO: A LOT of content, character background & story! - CON: Anime/Hentai style; Traits like 'cum dump' or 'submissive' are part of the main story lines, no "pure love route" available. (see addendum at the end about edit)

Preliminary note: I played [v0.10] of the game without walkthrough mod.

PROs:
- A unique world setting
- Character backgrounds tied to a good story
- A LOT of content
- Playable without walkthrough


CONs:
- Anime/Hentai style, I'm usually not a big fan of this, especially when some characters seems very young
- MC has a megaphallus, all women are much smaller than him, almost no woman has any kind of body hair, one minor character even perpetuates the lie that no pubic hair is healthier.
- No true "love/affection route" available. A certain degradation is part of the story - and of course all women like that. (see addendum at the end about edit)


I am usually not a big fan of anime/hentai style games, but the good ratings made me at least try it, and I have to say: Worth it! There are enough things to dislike (see CON) about this game, but I am not ashamed to admit, that the story, especially some character background had me tear up twice while playing. I did not expect that kind of immersion and because of this almost all of the CONs are forgiven and I rate it 9/10.

The grinding is not too bad, because you get immediate results (character stats are accessible) and the actions are diverse enough to not be boring.

At one time I hit a wall, when no more events would be available while two character stories were still unfinished. That was because I love Lin. I always came inside of her, never outside, and so she hadn't gained the "cum slut" trait (come on her 10 times). That trait was necessary for the story to advance. Bit of a bummer, but in context not completely unreasonable. (see addendum)

Summary: Androids and Fairies and Elves! OH MY!!

ADDENDUM: The traits are mostly irrelevant for the story. In hindsight I probably just didn't check in with Ellen for too long and coincidentally did so the day after Lin gaining the cum slut trait. Runey (the game's creator) cleared that up in the comments here: > CLICK < Thanks!

This was one of the first honey select games I tried and boy was I blown away with the quality and amount of content. Despite seeing HS everywhere nowadays, this game still shines. 9.5 out of 10. My one complaint is that the gallery misses a ton of the hot scenes. Highly recommend using the Lain's mod (on this and every other game fortunate enough to have his mod support).

Okay game

- Pro
- Quite a few sex scenes
- Not very grindy
- Corruption of the female chars
- Harem system of gathering girls

- Con
- Hentai like art, with females looking very young, which I find wrong
- Simple art
- Repetative clicking the same things every game day to check developments
- A bit childish

the story is great and hoping you just keep adding to it maybe add in a cameo character from another game youve made
loved it waiting on a new update anything normie fans can do other than donate to help out???

No commentary the game is just GODLIKE.
I Love it.
It has multiple features and its easy and simple to play.
I would like to see more of the main story and the world that this game is taking place in.

One of the best games with the most content out there and a pretty good division between plot and sexual material. The only downside is that it may not become the sprawling never-ending game it could be if space limitations weren't already haunting the developer.

Quite an enjoyable game. The story is interesting, every character is unique in its own way. I hope to see a lot more content.

you never know what to expect from a game, but this game is well balanced between H scenes, story, interactions with characters. There is always room for improvement, and let's see what the creator has up his sleeves. Keep up the good work.

I forgot to rate the game earlier, overall super enjoyable game right from the start. There is no long introduction and it gets to the action pretty fast which is enjoyable. Everyone so far has an extremely deep background, some are a little darker than others and do catch you by surprise. What I do like is that you don't have to worry about really doing a "wrong" action because you can rewind time to the right choice and the mean things to do the the others there have no negative influence on the game really. I hope that the creator does play with the slave system a little bit more along with things that can be purchased, and especially play with that webcam function because that could be a neat addition. Great game though and several hours of game play and that includes skipping some of the lengthier parts. Honestly for a game still in development I can't think of many negatives; one annoying thing though is when you get farther there's an objective where you have to meet someone at a specific time, but if you accidentally talk to Marie you get stuck that morning going to the movies that you can't turn down making you sometimes miss the time frame with the other girl; like I said, a minor inconvenience at best.

One of my favorite games. I got it with little to no expectations for this game before I went on a patrol on my submarine and it blew my socks off and I knew I had to follow up on it once I got back. I've probably gave this game 10 new subscribers from my friends and work

Much more than it appears on the surface.

By the time I was most of the way through the story, I simply couldn't see the characters the same way I had before. I honestly started to feel bad about sexing them up.

I wanted to wrap Ashley in a blanket and feed her cookies. I wanted to buy the twins a cat each. I wanted to give Lin comfy clothes and teach her how to play games with Kali.

I didn't expect this level of writing and characterization. Well, WELL above average writing.

Sex scenes are decent, but honestly not that noteworthy, other than the sheer volume. There's a lot to see and do.

Truthfully though, the writing carries it. It takes a little while for it to get going. Surface level, it looks like what it says on the box. You think you're just building a harem with the most cliche stereotypes in the world. But you're wrong, there's a lot more to these girls than you think.

I also like that they all interact well. Their personalities sometimes clash, or one will teach another something new, or they'll just have fun together. Makes everyone feel a bit more alive that you're not the only thing in their lives. The hotel starts to feel like a family (a rampantly incestuous one, ofc) by the end.

Made me cry (damn you ashley). It makes you forget for awhile that well..you're playing an game that you probably downloaded so you could fap . I enjoyed the story and the characters themselves. I'm not sure if I missed anything story related as I checked in the game everywhere and even the small progress area, but a better way to know/check if you're done with the update would be cool! I'll definitely keep this on my watch list so I can play more in the future. There is lots and lots of content already!

amazing story telling.
amazing character building.

TONS of content. Relatable characters.
came to fap. stayed for the story. the art itself is well done.and the ammount of content is HUGE. i've been playing this for around two days (almost all day) and barely got to the end of it!

im usually pretty harsh with reviews but this gets a 5+/5 stars!

This is only the second time I've given 5 stars... this earns them.

You start off with 15 minutes of mundane clicking through the first 10-15 days in the game... you think to yourself, I'm going to bang my slavegirl and just own some arse. And initially this is hot... who am I kidding, this game is always hot...

But then you get to day 20 or so and you're feeling for the slavegirl and you don't want to mistreat her and you don't want to share her pics... all the girls are like this... even the ones you initially hate (because they're royal bitches)... but eventually, they all win you over with their charm and unique personalities. This is a tribute to the writing. All the dialog in this is exceptional. It may be why you opened this game up, the idea of dominating someone... but if you still want to mistreat Lin after day 20, you have no heart at all.

The story is ridiculous on it's face and the fantasy angle, also ridiculous--with elves and fairies and slaves... but it's also a masterpiece, because of all of this. You're introduced to the elf backstory right away and this helps with immersion. You're mind accepts it's a fantasy right away, and then the rest of the story is much more acceptable... because it's all ridiculous. And I think the author knows it, because the characters know it and they let you hear it constantly with some of the best wit and humor this genre has to offer.

I laughed out loud so many times in this... I kept notes of lines of dialog that had me rolling. And what's amazing about that, is none of it is dick-joke frathouse humor. It's smart. Very smart. All of it is, the humor, the writing... even the story... the backstories of the elves and the fairies. Of the individual characters.

I also appreciated the theming. All of the characters in this have a story that is based around possession and ownership. It's soo consistent that it makes me assume the author has actual storytelling training. Like they understood the very concept of themes. Most titles in this genre are all over the place trying to give everyone everything... and that's fine with fetishes... but to be a storyteller, theming is very important... I don't know, maybe they stumbled onto it... however it happened, it's college level.

In many many many ways, this is smarter than it has any right to be.

I liked the main character, too. I never felt like a weak cuck... he always seemed to say what was on my my mind in response to whatever situation he was in. He's not an indecisive guy that just lets all these bimbos flop on his schlong. He stands up for himself and those around him. I appreciated this.

The animations are seamless.. I mean they are clear animations, all of it is because it has a 3d render in a cartoon style... so your mind never goes to a photorealistic expecting place... but that doesn't mean it's not hot. The animations have fluid movement and tend to matchcut well with the stationary shots. The cartoonish style actually lends to the individual style each character has. The way their eyes move and look in situations. They come to life. This is a very professional visual presentation.

But none of it should be taken too seriously... it doesn't have a giant plot that takes itself seriously... it's clearly meant for titillation. Clearly the author wants the audience to get off... and you will. But then you'll laugh. And you'll care. And you'll think. Whether you want to or not.

Just give it the first 15 days or so (15 minutes of game play)... because early I thought the game was going to be very repetitive with just clicking doors and hearing the same old dialog with each knock of the door.

This is a masterpiece. A comedic erotic fantasy with a heart of gold and a brain.

(I appreciated being able to skip the cat story... I don't need to know how that ended... ever...)

I hate to be doing this, but this is a revised review. This game has lost me.

For the longest time, I used to think that this was a masterpiece on this website. In fact I still think it is better than average, and I still think it's worth a download. Just get Lain's mod first.

However, it's no longer on my list of favorites. The developer decided that instead of making a porn game, they are gonna make a political propaganda piece. That they are gonna shove their politics, pretty basic politics at that, into their porn game, and they are gonna smash all the nuance and portray all of the opponents of their politics as some sort of one-dimensional evil.

I'd rather play a game that doesn't do that.

I came (hee hee) to Harem Hotel just for a quick fap or two but was completely sucked (hoo hoo) in by the story telling and characters. I did not really imagine an h-game could be for anything else other than sexual gratification, but I am unironically here for the plot. (although the H scenes are also very good) I may or may not have shed a few tears during Ashley’s storyline.

Pros:
-Many deep characters
-A large amount of content
-Captivating story telling
-Headpats and cuddling

Cons:
-Stat improvement can feel grindy at times, but not too terrible

Best game i've enjoyed so far.

Great content, unique Characters, good graphics Quality and smooth Animations.

Even tho it already has a lot of content theres potential for a lot more, hope the devs will keep up with it
