Someone explain to me, why at first it loads the game, but then it stays on a black screen.
If you're using a cheat mod, things like that can happen. Replace the modded file with the original. However, if you aren't using a cheat mod, it could be one of several possibilities:
  1. If your system has more than one GPU/video card, try disabling one or the other by going into Control Panel >> Device Manager >> Display adapters and see if that problem still exists.
  2. You may be missing one or more runtimes. Click on the link and download the all in one pack from a mirror site closest to you. Then extract the files to a temporary folder (which you can delete later) and run "install_all.bat". Do not try to run the batch file from inside the zip.
  3. Check your video card/GPU to see if you have the latest drivers installed.
  4. Check the game's path. If you bury the game in several sub-folders, that can cause problems with the game including displaying images and/or animation. Move the game's folder to C or whichever drive you prefer (do not use external drives or USB flash drives) so that it's: "C:\Mystwood Manor v0.8.0".

Is this game good as 'Man of the House'?
This game is still unfinished so its not a really fair comparison but. Man of the House was better in my opinion. There was more story and the scenes as a reward for each character were a better payoff. This game has more gameplay compared to MotH but its limited management style gameplay, while MotH was a step beyond traditional Visual Novels.

Both games have outstanding character models, the girls are knockout and really well developed.

I'd counter that MoTH lacked any overall story aside of boy get's intimate with any hot female, wether they are related or not.
While MM has an overall story with hot girls crossing by

I have to agree that the pay off in MoTH felt more satisfying. The progression also felt a lot more natural. But I am enjoying this game a lot as well.

Small QoL suggestion:
When one of the women gain a trait point I usually find myself spamming between the ! icon and 'Decide Later' button until the trait I'm looking for shows up.
If the UI can handle it, it would be nice if all currently possible Traits showed up at once instead of 3 random ones and needing to spam to get the one you want.

Maybe as a 'Hard mode' thing the 'Decide Later' button forces you to wait another shift before trying again.
'Save scumming' would still be possible, but a player that actually wants the extra challenge might be honest enough to avoid that.

Thanks for your help my friend, but I figured out what the problem is, it's my damn video card, the nvidia geforce 9600m GT.
No way I'll have to let this game go until I get a real PC, maybe by then I'll have layers and the game is already finished. hehehehehehe

You can do it now because it's a beta game version.
You can't do that in the final game version, if you decide later, it will show the same traits.

You can disable your video card from device manager, if you do so, the game will play in software mode, it will be slow but at least it will run

Been a bit disappointed with last few updates, tbh. Only Annika, Amber, Catalina and Julia really work for me, and judging from the short bars I add to on the Patreon votes, I seem to be in a minority. Amber’s last few scenes feel very phoned in in comparison to Julia and even Catalina, maybe even just everyone else. My fave, Annika, is basically neglected.

As much as I’ve been cheerleading this game, I’m thinking of dropping my pledge this month and just eventually coming back to finish the game when its done.

Not a complaint but somewhat off topic: I consider your favorite character list quite unusual and thus interesting. Of course Julia and Amber may be because of the big I, but I would have seen Laura closer to Catalina, Riley closer to Annika. Again, just an observation, we like who we like and it's not always reasonable or logical, neither in RL nor in games.

Hmm... Well, that's what I suggested for the harder game modes.
Not sure how I feel about... No, I know I don't like it for Normal mode. But I also know that past experience shapes future expectations. So, I can't truly say how I'd feel about that mechanic if I was a new player.
When you say 'Decide Later' will give the same traits, are we talking about a situation where it updates each shift or one where those are the only choices until you pick one?
With the former it'd just be mildly tedious. Checking the woman's tab each shift until I see the trait I want.
With the latter... I think the economy adjustments I suggested awhile back would be important. Because without a significantly increased cashflow I wouldn't be able to afford the pills from Fizwill to keep resetting traits until I get mix I'd want.

edit:
On the topic of traits:
Since Julia automatically starts with 'Supportive' (works for free), it's redundant that 'Underpaid' (50% pay) is among the traits you get to choose for her.
Toss in that, in future versions, 'Decide Later' won't function as a fast & free re-roll. Result is that 'Underpaid' will, effectively, just be burning a slot in the choices. Making it that much easier for a player to feel "screwed by RNGesus"

I was blown away at the start-a porn game with a father! 2 minutes later the problem was solved. You have a longer life expectancy if you are a terrorist on America's most wanted list compared to a father in a porn game.

Yes you can. Just move your profile folder over to the new version and you can continue from there.

Laura is too Thicc and Riley a runner-up to my big 4, but those teeth give me the creeps and Annika is more jacked. :D

I actually run Julia without I, I just think she and Amber are hawt.
