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

Personally i think it is a solid game with good script, animation, characters and game mechanism however there are few points you may need to consider before try it:
it is kinda heavy grinding for the hotel management system I mean there are plenty of female characters focus on their jobs however the energy system make the entire game process slower a lot. There is tools and cards system help you however it is still in development which means it won't do much work.
Definitely try the cheat mod inside since there is no third party mod that disable energy system or unlock gallery to speed it up the process
Right now there is still not much content, you may wait untile least one girl allow you got "Home Run"

The characters are ok, but there isn't much of a story at least not yet, it's really grindy. Very little action with the characters and really it would have been better as just a kinetic or linear, not sure the dev has the writing ability for a story at this point but who knows maybe they will surprise us. There are cheats available but they don't really do much. You only get 1 staff member with ability to work in the kitchen and at the front desk at least in the beginning so you have to split her energy bar between the two activities until she tires out and has to take time off and then your guests get upset because nobody is cooking. I think it's poor planning on the dev's part to only have only a single person who can work 2 separate stations also why can't the MC "Manager" step in and help out? Seems to me working in your own business would make more sense than leaving guests with poor service...anyway I honestly feel like 2 stars are being generous but because it has decent artwork is the only reason I gave it that.

This game would be better rated, in my opinion if the tutorial part, which is about the entire first hour of gameplay, was cut down to 30 minutes.

This is getting on my nervs, on tutorial is over, the mtoher leaves tellig you "thats all", and inmediately comes back to feed you more "knowledge".
ou can not do anything, you can not renovate parts of the hotel that meet the reauirements cause they are locked by the story. But that story fo the first hour is just a fuvcking tutorial with almost no player choice.

Doesnt help that, being the start of the game there is no lewd at all. There are quite some moments where you see a character appear and you have to watch the full sequence that shows all her body from head to toes. No skipping, so again, no choice, no freedom.

So, for the first hour, there is no management, only clicking where they tell you and when they allow you, no lewd content, and the few choices that you have for exploring are under development.

Seriously remove this game, and publish it next year, with a difficulty adjusted for non retarded people,and something to actually do.

Design is nothing extraordinary, the same type of thicc voluoptuous woman with way too sharpened textures. Even the guests are like that, is just plain and boring.

Man of the house was actually good, this is going the wrong way so far.

I'm in love! took a while to get off the ground but there's an interesting premise, the girls are hot and whenever there's some kind of bug or issue it quickly gets sorted by the easily contactable team

Well worth the grinding

For those who came here to learn whether they should play this game. I'll try to answer what I loved about it and why it might meet your expectations

1. Management. Something you can rarely meet in adult games. Done absolutely thoroughly, you really enjoy this process. Tutorial is really good, in 5-10 minutes you feel super relaxed as you understand all the parts of the economy of the game
2. Girls. All kind of characters there and slow, logic progress with them. That's what I personally value most in adult games.
3. Mystery. Not my favourite part but at least you have a bigger goal in the game that makes you play and wonder what is there. Still, I have to say that girls falling for you because of some "magic" is not really that appealing to me, although here it does not hinder the satisfaction I get from the game
4. Progress. Girls and events happen in a timely manner, not falling all on your shoulders right away and revealing all the cards.

Small note to the dev: Asian girl really got me nervous about my progress as I was not even close to have a needed amount to buy a security office. On one part I got frustrated from guests' things got stolen, on another part it urged me to learn better how to earn money faster. So I don't really know how to treat this situation but for other players it could be hard mentally

[v0.4.4 full]
This game looks gorgeous, not just the women, but also the interface and other artwork, and technically it works okay, except that it crashed to desktop when I wanted to see if I could check on a guest, that I should be able to considering the in-game walkthrough suggests it! GRRRR.

I played 35 in-game days or so and I have a few emerging issues with this game:

1. The MC says 'back to work' a lot, but he himself does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that looks like actual work. Doesn't work reception or whatever, these kind of managers are the worst! Slot him in as accountant or something at the very least
2. The MC has ZERO people skills (kinda important when it comes to managing an upper class hotel maybe?) and talks to his 'staff' like a 12 year old schoolboy who just discovered boobs...weak sauce right there.
3. The time spend waiting for repeating animations (like the clockwork at the top of the screen) is not long but it adds up. (even with skip) Talk about grinding gears....
4. For all the talk of 'debts' in the beginning of the game, do I ever have to start paying it off? or do I just keep getting all the revenue for myself?
5. The management/planning portion of the game is nice and all, but the fact that you need that build-in walk through just to figure out where the (few) interactions are that are in there to level up your girls: that is just a complete farce when it comes to 'game-play'; You made a porn-game into the variant of an IKEA manual.

There is a lot of promise here and the detailing looks good but that is it. Too much mini-game grind, not enough sexy times...and the fact that you need the built-in walkthrought to get to the sexy times...that is basically the same poor design as the last game.
I will gladly try this again when the story mode gets added, but for now a hard pass.

I expected a basic renpy romp. But this is actually a great management game, will appeal to you if you like strategizing and building up your empire/manor.

It's sexy enough to keep you going when management gets to be repetetive. Great blend of elements create a suprisingly high quality product, and very playable even though it's heavily in development still. I recommend it!

The graphics are superb and the ladies are gorgeous. I am hooked and can't wait to see where the story goes.

The gameplay is unique and just challenging enough to be entertaining. I made the mistake of deleting my game and had to replay to get to the newer content and I found the game to be a little bit of a grind the second time through. However, I still very much enjoyed revisiting the story and perving on those beautiful girls.

Finally an actual game with active engagement that isn't clicking through images. Also animations where they matter the most, if you know what i mean... Also watching the development it seems pretty leveled across all characters, probably the best neural approach.

Not going to lie, when i first started this game, i just wanted to see some milf/incest story and action, but as the game showed me its mechanics and features, I actually enjoyed playing the game part itself and wasn't even disappointed that there wasn't much content. Games like this are hidden gems and are so underrated because it's different, it's not your typical rush the story and straight to the H scenes. This is a very thought out game and I gotta give props to the creator for their hard work, truly incredible.

To summarize this game, it's a fun hotel management game that rewards you with a unique and hot story. The management part of the game is incredibly well done and honestly can be a game on it's own, but I love how everything is meshed together. The game doesn't waste your time forcing you to do tedious things just to advance a scene, there's a progress menu that hints at what you need to do next and they're really simple tasks. The character models are absolutely stunning, very unique and diverse, and is beautifully rendered. As far as content goes, the H scenes are top notch/perfection because the animation is out of this world. The story is still early in development but the foundations are all there, it's leaning towards a mystery/thriller. Overall, this is what a game should be, 5 stars across the board!

excellent! even if I can´t kepp the saved games from one update to the other. Gladly playing from the start. that's why I tend to wait an play two or three updates since the last one I played.
Other than that, awesome!

All I can say is amazing! Love the "grind" of this game. Great plot to it and you really get into it with how much effort and time is needed to progress. The only thing I would mention as a chance at improvement is currently I felt a little robbed and disappointed that I worked so hard and got that really hot kitchen scene but was left hanging by the lack of a finale aka cumshot. I know thats not for everyone and its my personal opinion but would have loved a few screens of the ending. Even just seeing her cheeks fill or a facial would be the best. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see how it progresses!

Immersive game play, realistic artwork and exciting character progression. You always feel like you are making progress which adds to the game's addictiveness. The management aspect has been well thought out. Its easy to navigate and challenges you to make the right choices at the right time.

Увлекательный симулятор отеля с незатейливым менеджментом, но тем не менее который заставляет порой напрячься. Захватывающий основной сюжет с мистикой, Но главное - отличная модель матери героя, на мой взгляд самый лучший персонаж. Остальные модели и персонажи тоже хороши, но Джулия однозначный фаворит!!!

English
A fascinating hotel simulator with simple management, but nevertheless which sometimes makes you tense up. An exciting main plot with mysticism, But most importantly-a great model of Julia, in my opinion the best character. The other models and characters are also good, but Julia is a clear favorite!!!

v0.4.2.8 Review

This game feels very bare bones for now, its more of a management sim than a sex game. Which makes for the game to feel very slow and repetitive, not very rewarding nor interesting. Its not my thing for sure, but if you'd like to play a good management sim with a little smut on top, this game might be for you.

- Graphicquality : 5 out of 10

- Gameplay mechanic and translation : 1 out of 10

- Interface : 4 out of 10

- The story is actually very short and boring.

what should get better...

1) More content with every update. For one year development time there is not enough content.

2) The card game is a pain in the ass. A store or something will be better.

3) The renders looks not very sharp with a higher resolution (1440P and up).

4) Why adding placeholder. Thats very annoying. Complete one thing than do another.

5) Do more Bugtesting. Alot of Bugs will not occured with more testing (for example scene can not be loaded, because of not enough stats)

6) Hire professional translator if you adding other language. German for example is a mess and you get also english text between that.

- Conclusion

This game have the potencial to be a good game, if the dev will improved his attitude to work. At the moment i see the same things happens which has happen to MotH.
This game will take 1-2 years to be complete and at the end the updates will getting smaller and smaller. A second working hand will help the game alot and will boost the content alot.

This game reach a score from 10 out of 30 . So i have unluckily give it a poor rating.

I have the say, I really like this game. I have some gripes about it, some annoyances, but overall I think this game deserves 5/5 even in its unpolished state with the possible exception of amount of content currently(playing the 0.4.1.7 version).

The gameplay is fantastic. Juggling different resources is interesting and not overwhelming. The girls are varied and their skill sets make organizing fun and engaging. The guests are sometimes annoying, but tools are given to you that you can work for to mitigate the annoyance. Overall, there's a lot of nice work and reward going on, I really like the gameplay.

However, there are some downsides. It's difficult to properly gauge the energy level of your girls. Yes, you can see the direction their energy level is going, but the UI makes it annoying to tell their starting point. Knowing how much each action costs(I think it's always a base 25 cost, with a card that can lower it by like 5) is nice, but having a better idea of where each girl starts the work period will make planning easier. There are also UI glitches and trouble. Sometimes I ran into issues where the girls didn't snap into place properly. It's not a significant issue because if you chance out the screen, it'll all go back to working properly. It's a small problem, but it can be annoying. Only happened like 10 or so times in the hours I was playing.

The current content level is unsatisfactory to me. I wanted more. Much more. I can't really hold this against the game, though, because it is in development and that's kind of the name of the game. You can get some handies and a couple blowjobs, but other than topless pics you're not going to get much. Around 1/3 through the game I was rather desperate for some random encounters with the girls since most of the time I was taking the "do nothing" option for myself. Seeing the girls interact with the customers or stumbling on them just going about their day was something that I wanted to see. I suspect this will come with time(again with that early development point), but I was left wanting much more.

The girls are very attractive. All the models are well done, but it's weird to see someone tongue kissing a ghost. I guess that's just not my thing.

The story is good, but I prefer less tragic death scenes in my porn. Still, it's out of the way early on and not in the middle of a sex scene or anything, so it's fine.

Overall, I'd say play it if you're looking for a game. If you're looking for a lot of content, wait a few months then play it. I have every faith that Faerin will put out another fantastic product.

Edit: i really enjoyed my time with this game but it feels like the dev lost a little steam and the ending felt kinda rushed tbh. With the cast there seemed to be a real opportunity to have quite a bit more fun with the staff. That may just be wishful thinking on my part and the dev told the story he wanted too, but i can't help feeling a bit disappointed with the end product. Still an excellent porn/management game

Still early in development but heading in an awesome dirrection. If you like MoTH you should love this. Improves upon the gameplay, interface and management aspects of that game in pretty much every way. Not a game for people who are looking for VN or even a narrative driven sandbox. This is a management game. It does have a interesting story as well with some mystery, magic and corruption. Not a lot of H scenes at the moment but the models/characters are great and there is a ton of potential. What few scenes are here are really great especially Bottom line if you are interested in management games definitely play this game right now. If that's not always your cup of tea you should probably still check it out at some point because it is a good looking game but maybe wait till it's a bit further along in development.

This is incredibly hit and miss. The scenes are pretty decent and an improvement over Faerin's last game, MotH. Models are overall a big upgrade as well, give or take one or two.

Where this game falls flat on its face - for me at least - is the gameplay. It's mind-numbingly tedious. It takes all enjoyment out of getting any scenes because of the grind and micromanagement/fiddling you have to do just to get there.

The gameplay is one element that seems to have not been improved over Fae's last game and, in fact, taken a huge nosedive in terms of quality/enjoyment.
