Game of Hearts is among my all time favorite games on this site. Amazing renders, compelling concept, a good deal of replay-ability. House of Hearts is off to a phenomenal start so far, loving the new characters and the slightly more streamlined / intuitive sex scene minigame. SparkHG You really have something amazing going on with this series. Keep being an awesome developer. Cheers!

That was amazing. Will leave a review later but wow SparkHG, Game of hearts was awesome in its writing and gameplay and House it's even more fun... But the visuals!? Jesuschrist, how long did it take each render!? Besides some of Olivia's scenes being too dark, everything looks like a postcard.
Amazing job man, bring it to Steam soon, we'll support you there too.
Best if luck.

I think for growth on patreon, it is probably better to have frequent but smaller releases than doing one big update. I don't know if with, the way he tells the story it would be possible to do it.
I think in terms of art alone, this is one of the best games out there. But right now there are a lot of games coming out almost every day so it's easy for someone that never played it, to not even notice that a new update was released. If you do more frequent updates the chances of people seeing the game, trying it and maybe become supporters, increases a lot.
I hope can help more by buying your game in steam when it is released.
same here I have GoH wish-listed on steam and will buy when it's available. I hope it will help Spark to continue development.

I generally agree, but that's what I meant when I said we needed either more foreshadowing or more exposition. The MC's survival is the a simple example of this: we're explicitly told at the start of the first game that most demons would die if they had as little energy as the MC currently had. His easy survival was considered quite remarkable. At the end of that game we learned that Lilith had been supporting the MC in some manner until he had built a base that could support him. To me, the obvious implication was that her support was the explanation for the MC's survival and thus he'd need Maxime and Meredith now that the metaphorical training wheels were off.
Of course that's just my own theory and there are lots of other potential explanations, but the implication seems so clear to me that I'm surprised none of the characters addressed it themselves. The MC somehow learned he could use Maxime and Meredith's worship to sustain Julia instead, so he must have had some sort of off-screen discussions on the topic (probably with Lilith's vision, but maybe with Ruby, Astofiel, or Asmodeus). I wish we had seen more of those discussions first hand rather than skipping over them.
That seems like a plausible explanation, but I don't recall it being laid out that clearly in game. Even if I missed it, it still leaves the most fundamental questions unanswered.
For example, what exactly is the MC looking to get out of this whole arrangement? The game opens with Domina (a new character) saying we need to reach her at the 'heart' of the House of Hearts to save Lilith. Later on, the MC says saving Julia is his top priority, but she's not the same character as Lilith. Ruby and Asmodeus say we need Lilith's blood to save Julia, so I assume the MC is trying to help Asmodeus free Lilith so he can get her blood, but that's still vague. How does Lilith's blood help, and how does he expect to get it even if he can reach her? Lilith is very powerful, after all, and she didn't seem interested in Julia's survival when she set about creating Julia in the first place. Is Asmodeus going to help with this, or is she just interested in freeing Lilith and that's it? I feel like these are really important topics that the MC must have considered, but for some reason we never saw any of that.
Meanwhile, what about the MC himself? We're told he needs to gain power, but I don't see the mechanics to allow that. I can't believe Helena would specifically negotiate a clause to shield her thoughts from the MC yet allow herself to become his worshipper, so I'm skeptical he can gain power the same we we saw in the last game. But if not that way, then how? Asmodeus says she'll supply the MC's essentials, but does that include demonic energy? Does the MC get a portion of whatever the dreamer sacrifices to see the dream, and if so is that a one time boost or a permanent 'residual?' And what about if Karly gets involved? She's a demon herself, so I'd expect she needs to gain something for her participation. Would that come out of the MC's share or is she just going to be a sort of guest start while being on her own Hall of Fame track?
Basically I don't feel like I understand the setting this time around. The first game did a good job establishing the world (and the MC's place in it) and laying out some short- and long-term goals. The end of that game flipped the table and scrambled those goals - which is fine! - but then it skipped over setting new ones. The MC seems to have picked a new game plan, but I am at a loss trying to follow it.

Wow, I really, really love this so far! The story is unique and amazing, and the love interests are absolutely beautiful. Actually, I think this is the first VN I’ve played where I like all the love interests. For a first episode, this has already become my second favorite!

The mechanics were laid out pretty well, though my understanding differs slightly from what you quoted in that it's more like the scene they make is "recorded" by the House and then customers can pay to recall it as a "dream" later on. Each time that happens, the customers offer up (and possibly generate) energy, and the demon responsible for the recording that dream gets a cut. So that partially answers what MC gets out of it. If he makes good scenes that a lot of people want to "dream" and are willing to pay more for, he gets more and more of a cut of the demonic energy.
Relevant quote from game:
Asmodeus: "The House is a network made from the recordings you generate."
Asmodeus: "The customer earns a right to partake... For a price."
Asmodeus: "Demons earn a share of the energy generated by the contracts formed between the House and the customer."
More immediately, he also gets protection. As has been laid out, because of who he was and some other factors, he's at risk of being targeted during the upcoming "war" for the open seat.
As for Lilith, it's been implied that she and Nero were lovers. If that is the case, it's not unreasonable to believe that she might feel some level of empathy or compassion for MC and agree to help Julia.
As for Karly, it's possible that for scenes with two demons, two different "recordings" are made from each demon's perspective. Perhaps some customers would prefer to experience the "dream" from her perspective rather than MC's? Or something like that perhaps.
Honestly, with the House, it's probably simplest to think of it like "Demon OnlyFans" where customers pay with demonic energy instead of cash. Karly might potentially be like a "guest performer team up" where they'd both post it to their page and share proceeds. Or something like that.

I think they thought you were asking which LI is their favorite. Brie is a LI in GoH and HoH.

I'm kinda curious about how (and if...) the dev will implement the dynamic of the MC dominating the wife and humiliating the husband (or in the case of the other character, her ex?) in this sequel. To be honest, even though the scenes of the husband being cucked were only shown toward the end, they were some of the most thrilling moments of the previous game... the cuck humiliating himself, choosing to keep watching his wife get fucked instead of leaving her... humiliated and depressed in a corner with his pathetic boner... it was beautiful!

He won't. He didn't enjoy doing it, was away from what he originally planned and that's that. What you saw with Meredith's husband won't be seen again.
