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

[Uthuriel]

Same here, I don't think it will end well in the sense Ashley is hoping for. We may find her completely unharmed, which would mean it did end well in the sense that she was found still alive at least, but it may not be like Ashley hopes it will be. She could be some criminal mastermind behind an Elven underground operation, she could be completely broken beyond any sense of sanity, just hoping for the next guy to come around for some fun, she may be terminally ill and we may find her only in time for one final goodbye. There are many ways this could go and most of them aren't pleasant to think about to say the least.

Still, I am holding onto that slim hope that she will be alive and well and that the reunion will be happy and not the last we see of her.

I hope that too....

Harem Hotel needs some "happy" right now... the whole game feels kinda depressing now... The stuff with Android is dystopian as hell... Lins fight for elven independence... Marias story.... Kalis father is doing shady stuff... Autumns possible accession in the ranks of her church... and of course Ashleys search for her "mother" to name some from the top of my head...

I really like Runeys writing and his story but I think he should give the MC and his girls a bit of a breather, even if it's a short one.

I wouldn't get my hope up... we know that Ms. Ren is important for Ash but I'm pretty sure she has been through hell and back...

I just don't want Ashley to be disappointed...
I think she has certain hopes and dreams how their reunion will go but I don't think that will happen.

I don't think that Runey is into sad endings, middles sure, but not endings.

While I agree that I doubt that the reunion will go the way that Ashley thinks, at best, seeing her will trigger feelings of shame, I do think that there will be a happy ending. I figure we will need to jump through hoops to find her, do something shady to get her back, and then help her get over whatever she has been having to do (rehab or whatever), and only then can we finally have a mostly happy Ren again. Something similar to Jinny's arc.

I mean, let's be honest, even when she was with Ashley's place, she was abused, kept in a naked apron, and so on. She will need a lot of TLC.

It does feel that way, but there is nearly always a light at the end of the tunnel. We are in the tunnel now and where there is no light we are making it. Every little thing we do, whether that's freeing Elves from a bad place or supporting Elves in need like Maria, making slavers' and slave owners' lives more difficult, hounding the people in power for change, or even just trying to reunite those who have lost each other, like Ashley and Ren, all of it adds up into something big, a just cause that will shake Syl'anar to its very core and make some VERY big and VERY necessary changes.

I don't think there is room for a breather, there is much work to be done to make Syl'anar better for everyone, whether they are human, elf, or fairy. These things take a long time to produce results, even if we were to go a much more drastic and violent path, and who knows what lies in store that may make things more of a race against time, especially things like those bots Kali's father is making.

Agreed, assuming she does come into our care, Ren is going to need a lot of it regardless of circumstances. There's no telling how bad she's had life since she was separated from Ashley until she herself reveals it to us and that's if she has the courage and the strength to relive the trauma of her past.

Yeah you are right. Though I still think a breather would be nice...

As a side note... don't go to the light at the end of the tunnel... that's a trap....

Yeah, I mean, if living with Ashley's dad is one of the highlights of your recent life, you know it's bad.

Come now everyone, we all know that Runey has been keeping that last room open for Ren.

And TheDevian? Both! at the same time.
Someone let Runey know what REALLY needs working on!

Then again, maybe Ren has been quietly building up an elf underground by grabbing up elves that have seemingly fallen into the cracks in the system... hmm... the logistics of that make it unlikely though... feeding, housing and keeping them safe/away from the system would be a massive undertaking, and from what I've seen of Mrs. Ren from Ashley's recalling, she seems to have been in the sorta "I'm in the system, being sent wherever by the government, let's make the best of a bad situation and find something positive (Ashley in this case) to help with" mentality.

Depending on how things go, the mafia could be less bad than some of the other jobs they had to do. lol
I could see that.

Mentalities can change with an extreme enough situation, so that "make the best of it" mentality may have been a side of Ren that no longer exists. We have no idea how her life after Ashley left has affected her.

An Elven mafia is exactly what I was hinting at earlier. We know for a fact there are cells of Elves underground, this much was revealed through Nia, but we don't know if such a vast underground organization the likes of which do exist in the real world exists in Syl'anar. It would be an extreme undertaking to be sure, but so is the real thing, there's no way the real thing isn't. The strange part is how this Elven mafia would actually be the good guys, from our anti-slave perspective, given how the real world equivalents are very much evil entities themselves.

Ren in the sanctury. The last room is for little sister.

Always figured little sis, would be the maid for the next floor... lol

wait? do we have a lil sis? I can see that happening, she better be tiny and cute.

 

[TheDevian]

We do, we don't know if she will still show up though, the plans have changed a bit since all of that was initially discussed.

well we need that promised number 8, soo. I wasn't around when a new character was new in one of the rooms. How often did that happen and was it super exciting?

 

[Shadesishere]

Huh, would have thought that Runey would avoid adding a sister, mainly due to Patreons generally rabid response to such things (even if she doesn't get involved in the debauchary in the hotel)

Most of them were pretty early on, and were keyed to certain events, like Android and buying the 2nd floor.

Currently, we have 8 people, the 8th room isn't going to happen for a while though, probably not until one of the other girls' story ends. Runey has said that 8 main girls is about his limit.

I am sure she would be locked behind the truestory code, and be something else otherwise.

Wish Moon went in as the 8th girl

 

[Jjay08]

Wish Moon went in as the 8th girl

she would make a good one. or any of the collage girls imo. I'd like a whole ass dedicated story to any of them.
