Silly question, but how the heck do you interact with Julia? Only option I can find is calling the receptionist. Which doesn't appear to allow giving or gifts. Just taking money or try to send off to the shop-keep.

Looking at the map only the maids/guest room/your room shows up.
If by "interact" you mean changing her clothes and etc. then you start with Vica, and by changing her clothes, Julia will get jealous and try to compete with Vica, so the more you do with Vica the more options appear for Julia, and eventually you'll get to the "main course" if you know what I mean.

If you look at the Patreon, there hasn't been an update since February 2nd and the last actual release was in December, and before that the release date was in May of last year if I remember corrrectly, so if the dev is going at a consistent rate, I wish you luck in waiting till December.

Opposite case, he was very consistent before, and then just... stopped. A lot of his backers, including me, stopped supporting because he just suddenly went completely quiet for multiple months.

Its a shame really, his games were good.

Even if a lot of the patreons stopped supporting him, he still has 71 left which is... interesting to say the least. I know that his games are good, however supporting him even though there are rarely updates is a waste of money in my opinion, but to each their own I guess.

Marking as abandoned since dev is MIA.

If anyone has 0.5.4 (which I don't know if it's an actual version) please quote this post with a link and I'll get the OP with said version.

I didn't play this one since the 0.3, so I can't tell what new from 0.5.3 to 0.5.4.

Starting the game, I get the message:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After loading the script.
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 13: ordinal not in range(128)

Anyone knows what to do?

I've only ever gotten that error only once and that when I was messing around with the coding for another program, but that was a while ago so I'm not to sure if that's the case or not. Best bet would be that the file was altered or something went wrong when you extracted the file, and you should try to download the game again. If that doesn't work at least you wont be missing out on much, since this game has long since abandoned (quite a shame, it had a lot of potential.)

Apparently some people are still working on the project (not the original author from my understanding) read that on one private tracker (I can link to it if it's okay with the staff don't know for sure) and there are some art updates apparently.

Edit: Apparently I can share some links (thanks Xand) so here it is a discussion/torrent link you need a registration on that tracker and google translator if you don't know russian like me.

I'll post some messages from there for those who don't want to register

Всем привет, сразу хочу извиниться за задержку,в январе мы взяли большие каникулы, а затем бросили все силы на первый проект. По отелю сейчас идет порт на новый движок, и порадовать визуалом сейчас к сожалению практически не могу.
По срокам выхода, тут как говорится when it's done, но мы прилагаем все усилия

По поводу странички на патреоне, у нас слишком мало визуального контента чтобы даже группу в вк сделать, а читать о работе по программированию людям наверное не очень интересно))
Когда завершится основная работа по портированию геймплея на новый двиг, тогда мы переключимся на сценарий, диалоги и визуал, тогда обновления будут выходить достаточно регулярно.
Так что не падай духом народ) Проект не заброшен, работа продолжается!
Обещанная анимация с парочкой эмоций



(google translated)
Hello everyone, I just want to apologize for the delay, in January we took a great vacation, and then threw all our strength on the first project. The hotel is now going to the port on the new engine, and unfortunately I can hardly please the visual now.

In terms of release, as they say when it's done, but we do our best
Regarding the page on patreon, we have too little visual content to even make a group in VK, and people are probably not very interested in reading about programming work))
When the main work on porting the gameplay to the new engine is completed, then we will switch to the script, dialogue and visual, then the updates will be released quite regularly.
So do not be discouraged by the people) The project is not abandoned, the work continues!

Promised animation with a couple of emotions

You can share links as long as they are not monetised, i.e no links such as adfly and its variants neither can you post keeptoshit or fileshit type premium links.

update from new developers:
"Good news everyone!
Development goes in fast pace and we are doing our first demo on new engine.
We will post links here and on our patreon when we get playable version."
Thanks! What's the new developers' patreon?

From what I've read they are not even going to create one(?). Just want to continue the game but I might be wrong most people are in it for the money :). At least till now they haven't asked for any nor did they mention any paypal/other method for donations.

I believe new developers are doing two games at the same time. One is their own from start to finish and another one is Hotel which they plan to use to promote themselves. Person who posted news on pornolab and introduced himself as new developer has patreon page
