Unity - Completed - Mystwood Manor [v1.1.2] [Faerin]

If you like managing a hotel and a good magic story than this is your game. It's a really nice design although the part from managing to getting fucked is a long one. After reaching the 4.-5. stage of the hotel you will get all you want from the girls but before it's like 20 hours playing with only light content. If you don't like to play a good economically designed game you could skip that part at the beginning but I would recommend to play it. The satisfaction is high if you'll got your destination through "work".
Thanks for an absolutely stunnig programming behind the game and all the work which have been provided here

Played through the completed version. Savegame show hours used, and while it's ticking while leaving computer idle, I might have spent half of the 18 hours tracked actually in game doing something. With so many hours played, I guess I can't rate this below 4 ...

I've played mostly muted, due to not being alone in the house, so I can't say much about the sound. However the graphics are well done and consistent.

I first tried to play the story mode, as I remembered the game being grindy from an attempt before the game was completed, but I didn't like it that much. You get to see all the sexy content, and get to it a bit sooner, and many aspects of the game is disabled to move through, but there was still a lot of clicking through the same screens to progress and getting impatient I fast forwarded through a lot of the bits. Also, I missed the fact that you had to go into each girls screen to "advance" them to get further for quite a while, so I thought I was stuck. If you manually have to advance each girl through the tiers, you should get a notification about it, as it does then they get a new trait.

I then decided to replay in normal mode, going through the grind. It takes a lot longer, but there are multiple aspects to care about, it is not always obvious what is the best path, and the game is rigged so you never get stuck or into a game-over situation. It does get repetitious, but not so bad that I didn't bother to complete it. When you have to care about what happens to figure out what to do, it is also easier to pay a bit of attention, and this time around I manage to read most of the story.

It does feel like the game lends itself to a save and load pattern though. When you need to switch around girls, cards and equipment to keep all your guests happy, it is not obvious how much you need to boost each character to get to a given percentage of service, and roll-back with the mousewheel can show you the text you missed, but will not show you graphics you accidentally fast forwarded through, or allow you to pick another path.

All in all, I think this game is pretty good, with consistent good quality, and the management game parts could have been lots worse. I do really like that you don't get stuck, you don't need to refer to a walk-through to get to all the content, and you don't need to replay many times to see all the sexy content.

On the bad side, the management bits does get repetitious, and all the management parts and the slow build up means the game isn't very suitable for a quick fap.

Story 2/5
This had potential to be a pretty good and fun game but its just to slow progress and way to repetitive so you spend more time holding down skip key instend of reading story which really ruins alot of the fun and as for the story theres really not much too come for either its very short which is proberly why all the time waste things is in the game.

I did find the management part good and fun but again to slow.

Most girls was just not in my taste in any way and being a 100% kinetic game even though it is a sandbox it really has no freedom other then what order to do things in and thats it and as always with kinetic sandbox games questlines are also tied together so your force to progress all LIs cant skip those you hate.

Lets take a look at just the start which will give you an idea of kinetic story and questlines, your told what to do next like visiit mother in kitchen which i did multiple times and your given 3 choices as to how she look "nice, great, hot" i picked nice every time since i couldent care less about her in that way but quest wont progress, then i clicked great and yet again quest dosent progress...so it forces you to pick hot meaning choices are pointless and means nothing what so ever.

As for the girls most are just ugly, maybe its due to me not being into milfs which most of them are but they are also bimbos and i just dont have a big tit fetish so that also made it a turn-off.

Also i really hated the childish MC, hes constantly thinking about how hot hes mother or sister is to then think how worng it is to think of them like that, its idiotc since hes a grown up not a 12 year old kid..hes been living with them all hes life so he should be more then used to how they look.
This type of MC is seen in so many games and i wish devs would learn how to make a perfectly normal MC with normal thoughts insted of just pervert MCs and he finds EVERYONE to be hot? no matter if its an old ugly ass granny type...i hate that shit i really, why try to forced that kind of shit on the player instend of letting each player think for them selfs....

Girls 2/5
To many milfs and even a granny, barely any diversity in builds 90% is bimbos so you pretty much got to have big tit fetish to enjoy this one since they are also all forced on you.

Animations 3/5
They are ok but nothing special.

Music 2/5
Bit boring and mostly just the same tune, nothing with lyrics.

Choices 1/5
Its pure kinetic, all girls are forced on you, you get multiple choice option where only one of them works, you have 0 controle over anything.

Sandbox 2/5
I enjoyed the management part but the kinetic questlines kills it, no freedom, waay to grindy, girls questslines are tied together so cant progress with those you want before doing it with those you hate.

This is a great management GAME. Sometimes people forget what a game feels like lol

Adult content was good, the girls were so hot that I wished it had more scenes with them, or maybe more complex animations

The story is ok, and the end is satisfactory

One of, if not the best, management games out there. Has the perfect balance of gameplay and adult content. One of the few games that actually feels like a game. Really looking forward to Midnight Sin being released by the same publisher because of how good this game and Man of the House were.

I enjoyed it a lot. The minigames were good. The mechanics are unique. Even a good story. One of the only games I played for the full 100% completion. Someday a sequel perhaps?
The current 4 star rating is way too little in my opinion.

So I took the normal play mode where there should be game play instead of just linear story.
The game built in a way that there is a mystery that is barely noticeable because you have a long stretches of grinding before the next story bit is exposed, but even though, you won't have many story bits because the story isn't that elaborate.
The guests (1 guest) revealing more about the story and the surroundings which makes it a good combination, it could be used more in this type of mystery game, IMO this would elevate the game a lot.
You will start to feel the bad part of the game after few hours of play where it becomes very grindy although its story still intriguing enough to bear through it, in contrast to the H-scene which became boring and duplicated with just another girl.
The build of the relationship with the characters is really really slow but it didn’t bother me… just note it could take more than 5 hours until you get to the first h-scene.
At first the animations are real good and smooth with nice speed control slider, but after a few of them, you see they are all the same loops with different girls.
There are not a lot of renders in the game like in other VNs. Only in some events which is shame because it means you don’t see a variance in the characters.
One of the most annoying parts for me was the questions asked when characters are working. This was really annoying and there is actually no point at all for this and it doesn't add anything to the game and just annoy the player (after the guest become VIP, he doesn't bother you anymore with this stuff).

Overall, the game is ok, but I wouldn't recommend this game for myself because it is pretty long and I don't think the story worth it that much. It was pretty obvious after the first clues who is the mysterious villain.

i dont usually go back to play games from scratch, but this game is so good that i have finished it 3 times already. models are awesome and characters are very well built. grind is just right, too. seems i have to write an essay tho. not good of you f95

I would give this 4 stars in all reality, but for balance, since many early reviews never updated their ranking, I'd like to balance that out with my review on the finished product.


Cons:
*Somewhat grindy, unless you cheat
*You won't see much in the way of sex or lewd content until you advance fairly far, which, unless you cheat, will take some real time.
*Some of the mechanics can be frustrating without cheating.
*Not much in the way of voiced content
*I've seen better 3d animations
*Without a detailed walkthrough, some key information may be missed easily and never known
*I wish skipping the prologue skipped the whole tutorial, BUT also if it did, people would skip it and then probably complain that the mechanics made no sense, so....

Pros
*Story is at least about a 5-7 as far as being engaging and interesting (the Prologue is somewhat dull and generic, but hey you can skip it, so that can't really be held against it)
*the 3D animations are also not the WORST I've seen, and pretty decent and plenty of them
*variety in girls, even though there could be more (since all are somewhat white-presenting)
*HOLY SHIT, there's actual gameplay mechanics, and you can actually get so involved in trying to run the hotel you forget you came here for a wank
*the dialogue seems mostly real and natural
*the art on the girls is great
*balance on mechanics is fantastic
*love the inclusion of built in cheats if you want to just rip through
*tons of great sex scenes even though most are late-game


My overall assessment: this is one of the first lewd games I've played not JUST for the lewd scenes. I really enjoyed actually trying to manage the place (with some cheating because, again, it can be a bit TOO grindy, but also hey, they gave you the cheats, so reduce the grind to your own level of pleasure mates). So...

Scale of 0-5

Gameplay: 4
Sound: 3 (I reserve 4 and above for more voice acting)
Story: 4.5
Originality: 4.5
Renders: 4.5
Playability: 5
Performance: 5
Bugs: 4.9 (I had one very specific bug took me forever to resolve, entirely on my own)
Voice Acting: 0
Animations: 4
Grammar: 4
Amount of Content: 5

Overall: 4.5 but I go for 5 because again, it's been over-downrated

Got damn this shit is boring. There is no excuse for the dry-ass intro this game throws at you. Hours of your time will be wasted, with subpar DAZ models and obtuse management mechanics. If I wanna play with numbers and portraits I'll go play a Yakuza game. This aint it

The game has really nice renders and i love that you can speed the game up with ctrl. However there are issues, like some stuff not being explained and how much of a grind this game is. I recommend using a grind mod because that still makes the game take a long time but is faster.

Version Played : v1.1.2

While it's not really a masterpiece, I do think it deserves more than 4 stars compared to some other games on this site.

The story is interesting, well written, though there is some porn-logic involved, of course.

There is a sandbox and a VN mode, but the sandbox mode is recommended, and that's the one I played. It's fun, interesting, though I do feel some of the mechanics were underutilized (e.g. upgrades), but overall I had a good time.

My main gripes are that there's pretty much a single female voice audio used for lewd scenes, and it gets annoying quickly - some diversity would've gone above and beyond. My other main gripe is the balance of the lewd content, most of it is endgame-heavy and there are some nonsensical events (e.g. lvl3 guest at the pool which is a lvl4 event).

Other than that, you can get ~20 or so hours of fun from this title, very nice and recommended.

A good game that could've been a great game if it weren't for some silly issues.

The Good:
The models look nice
The management sim is fun and engaging
Cheats can make the game a lot easier if you want to speed it up.
A unique premise for a story with some care taken in execution

The Bad:
After level 3, the grind becomes horrendous forcing you to use cheats
I'm not a fan of the card collecting game and I feel it adds to the grind
The scenes are too limited for my liking
The story disappears for a while
No real scenes with Libby (would've been fun even if it wasn't possible due to the story)

Conclusion: I like this game and I actually completed it without hitting the skip button so it did things right. I think this game could've been a lot more though.

A solid 4 star effort. Everything was good but not as good as it could have been.

The models and renders were fine, but I feel like they were better in Man of the House, so I'm not sure why this one steps backwards a bit.

As a hotel management game it's a decent design, but if you took the sexy out, it wouldn't stand on it's own because there's nothing really fun about the core game loop. And the grind gets needlessly long once you hit 3rd rank.

As a sexy game, it feels too mechanical. All the scenes are broadcast, but if they weren't broadcast it would be even worse because they would take too long to trigger. The rank 4 and 5 sexy scenes are fine, but the most interesting part is the beginning of the scene where it's kind of naughty. Once the clothes start coming off, the scenes tend to be pretty dull, with only a couple exceptions.

There's stuff that feels weirdly missing. Like, you do all this work to get the girls to wear less, but the more revealing their outfits get, the less opportunities you get to see them wearing them in interesting ways - once you max out all you see is the paper doll shots and one gallery shot. I want to see more and more slice of life shots of the girls interacting with each other in random parts of the manor wearing less and less clothing.

The mystery plot is solid. No problem with it. But it would be more interesting if it interacted with the hotel management game in a way other than just the tarot cards. Like, there's all these objects you can pull from the lake or the attic, but it would be way more interesting if those were things found while exploring the Mystwood mystery story instead. Also, Libby was hot and flirty and all we got was a single boob still, which sucked.

Overall, the game needed about 50% more sexy content (not even necessarily full scenes, just some random teasing interactions) and it needed to be more creative (there was a couple creative bits, but we needed more of that).

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this sandbox from start to finish. I think the gameplay was actually quite fun, and I love the story that's veiled in a bit of mystery. The ladies are quite nice to look at, with unique styles & personalities. The sex animations are top notch and they definitely kept the motivation to finish the game. (Hana's happy ending sex scene was sublime )

Well done, I'm looking forward to checking out your other projects!

Fuck the haters, these kinds of management games are great, the outfits are great, the models are great. If it's too hard for you cheat, but eventually it's gonna run itself and all you have to do is cash in.

Bak, "The Twist" kadar içerik vaat edebilseydiniz, bu oyunun boğucu mekaniği kabul edilebilir ve hatta eğlenceli olduğu bile söylenebilirdi çünkü aslında bu sonsuz çabadan bir şeyler elde edebilirdik. Ama ne elde edeceğiz? Kısa bir hikaye, sizin için bacaklarını hemen açmaya hazır kadınlar, baştan çıkarma yok, yolsuzluk yok. Tekrarlanabilir bir aktivite yok, bu gerçekten ortalamanın altında bir oyun.

Daha sonra geliştirici bir anda oyunu yapmaktan sıkılır ve oyunun son bölümünde ana karakter aniden tüm kadınları sikmeye karar verir ve oyunu anlamsız bir şekilde bitirir.

Size neden bu kadar agresif olduğumu söyleyeyim, çünkü boşa harcanan potansiyeli gördüğümde gerçekten sinirleniyorum. "Evin Adamı"ndan sonra insanlar çıtayı yükseltmenizi bekliyordu.

Fun gameplay. Interesting story. Good music. The characters are well made and looks great too. Decent sex scene. But unfortunately all of that is dampened by how slow the story progress because of how grindy the game is, it's not that bad with cheats though but still kinda slow. Also not a fan of how most of the good sex scenes are at the latter half of the game.

Regardless, it's definitely a well made game, it's just too slow for me. If you like grindy management games with some porn in it, you'd definitely enjoy this game.

I like all the games that come with Chinese, it ensures the quality of the translation rather than handing it over to a localization group that uses machine translation and modifies the game's content.
Also, the content of the game is very innovative, which by the way, not using cheat mode will slow down your game progress. The characters are also of high quality and well rendered. You should play it.

After inheriting a hotel you witness mysterious sightings and deaths. In this part detective and part management-sim you will meet...


Characters whom you can progress with through their optional quests. All the staff and guests combined have quite a large number to complete if you decide to go for a 100% playthrough.

Gameplay consists of progressing to the next cutscene, whether that has to do with story, staff or guest. The second big part is hotel management. You earn money, rep and unlock services and collectable cards as you go along. Mystwood Manor does a good job at making the management part interesting, though it did get repetitive before the end so I turned on cheats. Note that I was going for full completion and your game flow may differ.

Sexy-times were my least favorite bit. They're in the cutscenes/quests and, again, there's a ton. Each staff has exactly 15 quests, like a quota had to be filled. Perhaps that's why they're short, formulaic and I missed personality in them.


I'd recommend playing this, though more for the management aspect and spooky story than sexy-times.
