what am I doing wrong? ... after receiving the 2nd guest, the 10th day has passed and the next guests are gone 
Are you assigning Julia to the front desk?what am I doing wrong? ... after receiving the 2nd guest, the 10th day has passed and the next guests are gone
Are you using a mod?
I have a little problem with Sophia Fernandez. When starting the sexual act in her room (last scene for her) the animation doesn't work, y can advance the text until MC tell her to Stop and I can't continue unless I load again.
thanks for the hint ... so far she was sitting in the kitchen but after being transferred to the reception desk the guest appeared ... thanks again

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...

Nah I have every girl, completed all guests and done all tiers and even collected all cards, and can start the ending on my save I simply don't have the general store so I can't get the fishing rod or flashlight for the cave and lake events. But it doesn't matter now anyway as I downloaded a complete save so in the end it doesn't matter

Ok.. We reach the end of another game
(Mystwood Manor) is a hit and miss for me. And this is why..
Basically this game tries to be 3 different types of games in one.
1. Management game. Running your Hotel.
2. Story and puzzle solving. Adventure.
3. Adult, Erotic.
1.
This is missing a lot. I can't hire staff. I can't teach who i want to work with what i want. They keep running out of energy and for whatever reason can't work full day shifts. I, the manager and owner, have to help all of them with the most simple tasks like telling my waiter what to bring a paying customer. (I pay my staff for this) After they become VIP my staff can serve them. Hmmm I find no logic here honestly. I give the Management a Score of 2/10.
2.
The Lore, Story and adventure part, is mostly just text and reading. Sure you have to visit the right place at the right time, but it requires no active thinking on my part except looking at the progress bars and try to be where the game tells me. I do not expect a Monkey Island. But i never got caught in the story at all. In part the User Interface/gameplay is to blame here. I will come back to that. My Score 2/10.
3. The Models are fine and as in all games i have my Favourites and others have there's. Animations don't really do much for me personally. It is still just animated and whatever Erotic feeling i may get, i have to make that mood in my Mind. So.. I liked the Renders and Models overall. I was drawn by some girls but failed to emerge in there story because of the Game format. The very problem for me i am trying to adress in this post. My Score 6/10
- - - - -
I know.. It is not Sandbox game where i can go to any girl when i want. But i felt i had no choice in anything. Every story for all the Staff and Guests was railroaded by the pre scripted story. And my biggest problem trying to follow the Story is the User interface and interaction with the Girls. I have 8 Girls i want to progress with and the only way to follow this progress is .. Click Staff, The Girl, Progress and the (!) to see what is next. Same if i want to see what gear and such a girl is using. 4-5 clicks for every thing i want to see or follow. - I miss a simple extra 2 buttons over the Portrait on screen with a P and G. Clicking it should bring you directly to the Progress, or Gear Tab. And that is obviously just about game play. I might be old .. But i forget what part in the progress i am with every girl after the last choice i made
In conclusion.. I find all the elements clunky and not working well together. In a Vanilla play through i realized i had been wasting all my time on management and keeping mood up and Tarot cards and gear in order for no reason at all. There is no reward for running your Hotel as the Hilton. A second rate Bed & Breakfast will have the same effect.
Based on the Scores on all 3 i end up giving the game as a total of 3.5 Stars.
On a Side note i can mention i gave MotH a Solid 9/10. My only regret with that game was.. It Ended
That all said i hope you understand my only wish is to give you feedback. For those who loved this game i am happy.
I can secretly wish for a MotH 2.. (Or anything similar)
I wish you the very very best with whatever your next Project may be

The Mega Windows download seems to be corrupted, with WinRAR saying "Corrupt header is found", "Main archive header is corrupt", and "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged" over and over again.
7Zip says "Data error : Mystwood Manor v1.0.1\Mystwood Manor_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\defaultlocalgroup_assets_all_226ba492fb838b244ae1fd872d627b9b.bundle"

But yeah the management aspect weren't too fun, everything is "locked", and needs to follow 100% the path that is laid out and you still need to decide the correct thing the guests want...
The story was so so, but I think that's because I played this early so I kinda forgot some minor details now that I played the ending or maybe not? The three endings you could choose felt very very rushed like they are all the same essentially except the first one? No continuation after you finished it either, no small ending events after ending the villain.
And there should've been more ways to interact with the girls and guests it was too locked(I know it would've meant more work though)
And as most games with multiple girls it felt repetitive grinding them, same path, talk > naked > touch > blowjob > sex, all the same order basically.
But this is something most games on this site do always following the same pattern, groping > handjob > blowjob/footjob > sex > anal sex > done
All in all a solid 7/10 for this game.

Playing through again now that's in 1.0, and I'm certain this question has been asked before but my search didn't show anything:
Is there a way to hide the frame effect? The thing that borders around the screen. It covers stuff up sometimes and is generally pretty annoying. Thanks for any help!

Acting lessons, Being a Dick, The Original Big Brother, Big Brother another story, Depraved awakenings, Melody, Dating my Daughter. and of course.. Man of the House. Faerins previous game. A lot of games would get higher Score then MM in my book. But some i played years back and the names get blurry. My first Adult game was "Dreams of desire" It depends a lot on what you want. Simple Visual Novel or actual gameplay.

There is my save and the history, don't know if that's what you need. Oh, I'm using the incest patch, could it be the reason?

Most likely you have the game buried in a multitude of folders so the path is too long could you move the game to your C drive so the path reads C:/Mystwood Manor that should fix the problem

Pretty much la creme de la creme games, Outstanding Renders, good Story, Solid Dev Work.
But I have faith in Faerin, once he get´s out of his Dungeon he will deliver a top game, So I´m looking forward to "Bodyguard" (hopefully the MC are not a Kevin look alike)

Thanks for your reaction. No new surprises unfortunately.
My 'guilty pleasure' for gameplaying is The Genesis Order.
The management style in MwM was new to me and I like(d) to play this type of game. Therefor I would give it 8/10 at least.

Of course these are your opinions and perfectly valid. I just want to argue a few points of your assessment specifically of your first point, the management aspect. Please understand this as an argument in the meaning of "exchange of viewpoints" not as "knock each others teeth out, even if only virtually".Ok.. We reach the end of another game
(Mystwood Manor) is a hit and miss for me. And this is why..
From a pure management gameplay perspective (and after all, this was your header) I agree. However, hiring random cooks or other personnel would in my opinion take away from the focus on the girls. And teaching girls would take away their characteristics - after all, Hana is a security specialist with experience, I doubt we could teach that to Julia. Just as cooking is an art. Serving and the bar (well, and most importantly reception) may be the two most "teachable" skills, but with other I would say it'd take too long for the scope of this game.
Since we're talking at least breakfast to night club, I'd say it's at least 16 hours of work a day. And the girls can do it twice in a row if we're not using any cards or traits, might even be more. Would be absolutely forbidden where I live. I'd say they run out of energy pretty rarely and certainly get their hours in a week (unless there's nothing to do for one of them).
Here I agree, it's not very logical. I would argue "gameplay and story segregation" here to an extent, since there would be nothing to do for the player apart from checking numbers in Excel and make the odd phonecall, activities which do not lend themselves to great gameplay. The VIP thing I could explain (we are now sure we understand the guests and their idiosyncrasies and can serve them). To me it is more jarring that some of the requests are, let's say, unusual (yes, you may want to try Czech cuisine specifically, especially if you never tried - you should by the way - but I'd say more people go for taste directions and will not care whether it's originally Czech or French).
The second and third point I understand your explanation better so won't comment (I would still score the game slightly higher, but that of course is a complete matter of taste).
Some great games, even if I am not a huge DIK fan myself. A question out of curiosity however: the full, still ongoing, DMD? Or up to a certain point? Because IMO chapters 1 and 2 were really good but chapter 3 was nothing more than banging Dee (I counted 37 times in the week) with a bit of tying up loose ends.
