For me its easy, Runeys game is one of the top games on this site.
It is the only game I have played out of the hundreds I have tried so far that delivers...

A well written story, It makes you feel for the characters and makes you feel like they grow as people.
(The story is very engaging just look back at some of the heated discussions around the lore and story and its clear.)

The game play is decent for a renpy game,
It doesn't feel too grindy and feels like there is a lot to do with a logical purpose to doing it.

the charters are cute each with their own personality I didn't like a few at first but they have grown on me.
(most games if i don't like a character I never will as the characters never develop)

The dev is Highly active and engages with fans a critics alike,
(Some may not like what he has to say all the time but at least he has something to say unlike many other devs.)

the updates are regular with a decent amount of content, Usually every 3 months.
(Seriously I waited a year for an update for another of my favorites supposedly the biggest update yet and the content delivered was a fraction of what Runey delivered in 3 months, so Runey delivered a ton more content in that year!, A year later and I'm still waiting on that games next update.)

This is not another cash grab filled with Incest, futa and every other fetish, Release 3-6 updates then silently abandon while keeping patron active to milk patrons, Then promising more future updates to avoid abandoned tag and keep milking patrons game!. (Not kink shaming just pointing out an obvious trend!)

The game is as much about the story and the feels as it is about the sex. (Hard to keep this balanced but this game does it well)

The characters don't have Oversized ridicously huge unrealistic breasts. ( An instant turn off for me)

There is a lot more to this game and I could go on but if you haven't played in a while I'm not sure you would get it?.
Perhaps you should download it and try it again?.

This is My opinion and my reasons I Like this game others will have differing opinions on why they like this game.
Those that hate it... its fine its your opinion.

I very much so agree with almost every single point you make. I don't generally post as there's not that much I have to contribute in most cases, but for what is worth, I think Harem Hotel is in my top 3 to top 5 games of this site and one of the few ones that I have came back to more than once.

A large amount of games have more or less copy/paste formula to them both in regards to the a few very similar over-used models or nearly the exact same story with not a bit of originality or different ideas. To put it blunt - they add nothing new or interesting to the table.

While I do not believe Harem Hotel to be the top tier in every single area, it does deliver to a lot of my personal preferences, but more importantly - it *feels* like it has a soul and that dev is actually putting in an effort to this and to create something worthwile and enjoyable both on porn and non-porn parts and it's not just another Patreon cash grab.

Just like OP said, at the end of the day, we're all entitled to our opinions and decisions, but I just find it funny that some people decide to go out of their way to throw digs at games and devs in this matter, so I appreciate when people actually post something positive and constructive.

Any chance to be able to have LIn use the cutie-pie outfit around the hotel? Of the other outfits some are too conservative others too sluty so would be nice to have something in between if thats possible logisticwise

I'd like an inbetween. I like kali's new outfit for collage, i wish she wore that around the hotel, she looks really cute in it. And giving Lin a whole as garden seems like a diamond ring to me. I bet she'd be overwhelmed and even cry.

I'll keep this in mind when considering adding outfit options

Sesinho Hey, as for your review, I think you may have missed out on a lot of content somehow? You may have run into a bug. You mention that Felicity and Emma haven't gotten content since v0.9, but every character gets 1 to 2 story events per character per update. There actually isn't any incest between Felicity and Emma at all, unless you count a double blowjob from them incest, either way none of their content is locked behind a code. Kali also had quite a lot of content added since v0.9 as well. Kali's max friendship as of v0.12 is 35, Felicity and Emma is 30.

You're right about Kate though, side characters aren't a priority. But in v0.13 they actually will be, Kate should be getting a few events.

I'm sorry should I be writing lore now?

Yes, there is physical proof that god existed and died within the lore established. I plan to show this location off at some point in Autumn's story. People eventually created a religion around this god. You can expect less confusion as the game continues to be developed.

Damn, just so sad I can't play this game anymore.

Can only play in version 0.11 the last time.

Please, can't you make an Android + OBB version of this game?
I don't have a PC, my phone can't use Joiplay, and I can't install more than 1.4GB (Android 8).

What a shame ...

Don't see that coming. It is already compressed for Mac and PC and was even more for Android. The one that had done the port compressed it even more.
So you can request a port in the Android port thread or ping the one who had done the 0.12.1 port, but my hopes wouldn't be high.
