Since I'm big fan of MotH (my first ever porn game bought on Steam), i was patiently waiting for Mystwood Manor to be completed. Don't really like playing unfinished games. After 12 hours of playing i can say that i like this game. Maybe not as much as I like MotH but i think Manor is a pretty good game. Management part is pretty nicely done in my opinion, it plays well and it's rather engaging and addicting. Can't really say much about adult content yet since everything I saw was a handjob and two masturbation scenes. I saw comment few pages back saying that pacing of adult scenes could be better but from what i can remember in my first 20 hours of MotH i also didn't get any sex and i was kinda ok with that. But i think girls here are more shallow compared to MotH cast, and events with them are kinda uninspiring i guess. But maybe it's just too early to judge yet. I mainly wanted to write about two things in management part i don't like:
1. Girls on the same lvl as guest are very struggling with interactions without any traits/items/cards which increase guest satisfaction. At first i thought that girls having the same level as guests will always pass those interactions. That's why i was focusing more on other things like energy, experience and underpaid trait. When i realized that's not the case i was struggling with lvl 3 guest, now i have some bonus guest satisfaction things but im still somewhat struggling but now with lvl 4 guests. Its really strange to me that lvl 4 girl, with lvl 4 skill without any bonuses is not able to get even 50% satisfaction with lvl 4 guest. Even those girls with 10-15% bonuses are getting only 60-70% satisfaction. I think thanks to this i'm not making as big progres as i should. I can't satisfy more demanding guests so i'm not making big money which leaves me with not enough money to renovate more expensive rooms. Which directly leads to my second thing...
2. Early and mid progression being tied to some pricy room. I mostly think about Annika when i wrote this but from what i saw it also affects some guests. I'm on Day 73, hotel lvl 4, 12 hours into the game... and i still don't have pool. I just couldn't afford it earlier. Not with renovating study, massage and security first. Those rooms are just cheaper and i thought that i should be renovating next cheapest room available to me. Especially when i didn't really get many guests who wanted pool. So Annika joined me quite a while ago but i literally can't make any progress with her. I can afford that pool now but it will take pretty much all my money and i also wanted to open fourth guest room to try make more money but im still saving cash to maybe renovate both at the same time. I don't even think about renovating next rooms...
So yeah, i just wanted to write this. I don't really know if im doing something wrong or something. Making money is hard...
