Two words - Story mode. Unless you like a long grind.
Mystwood Manor was my second AVN and Faerin game. It's different from Man Of The House and for that part - comes with it's own strengths and shortcomings. I went about 80% on the normale mode, then succumbed and went for story mode. Glad I did, the grind was too much for my tastes.
Being a light-fantasy story, Mystwood draws you in on a premise of mythical hotel running. You'll be the boss of a growing crew of capable women, all who try their best to help make the hotel a great place. There is A LOT of managing going on in this game - figure out which girl works best in what room and what rooms are needed for which guests - so don't expect going into this for a wank and being done. This is Hotel Simcity with sex attached.
The game has a distinct style and great care was taken into creating a mostly believeable environment. The women and guests are about as realistic as they can be, often interacting with each other and showing their unique personalities. Some encounters are standard, but the game shines when the personality of a girl makes for a totally unique interaction you couldn't have with anyone else. That happens a lot in this game. Kay has to by far be my favorite for just being such a braveheart.
In the end, the story wraps up into somewhat of a mystery which I won't further spoil - but the ending does connect to the beginning nicely. If you pay attention to the lore you'll see lots of dots to connect and even secret events that could happen, provided you're curious enough.
There is so much in this game in terms of variety (multiple types and races of women, various styles of kinks and ways to switch between subjects) that it's easy to get lost and the grind will take you a long time, even on story mode. This wall of grinding drops the game one star for me, because having this much grind actually doesn't do anything for the story in game - it just irritates the player. I'd recommend story mode and having a fun time, even if that means you're missing out on two parts of short bonus content. It's worth losing the grind for.
If you are looking for sexual arousal around every corner, steer clear. This game will not play itself and it asks you to ease into the sexual content. When you get there, it does get interesting. But it might be too little too late for most people.
4/5, fond memories of this one.

Are you using a cheat mod?
If so, skip the rest that follow...
Do you use any of the following:
• Nahimic
• FMOD
• Citrix
• Strix
• Aegis 3
• Sonic Studio 2 and 3
• RivaTuner Statistics Server
• Apple/Quicktime products (including "Bonjour")
• Portrait Displays\Pivot Software
• ReShade
• Fresco Logic USB graphics driver
Also, there is one other thing I would like for you to check. Go into your Event Viewer and look under "Windows Logs" >> "Application". Check for any errors pertaining to the game and provide a screenshot if any are found, please (if the errors are the same, one will suffice).

No cheat MOD and none of those applications.
Didnt find any error for the game in event viewer but tbh the game does not give me an error, just a black screen with the skip button and stops responding to anything i click but if i press alt+f4 it closes with no problem.
EDIT:
Thank you for your time.

No problem. There was an error in your event log pertaining to iCUE, I use that software as well, but it doesn't run in the background (I run it on an "as-needed" basis). So I'm testing it now to see if that may be conflicting with the game. Do you know at what point in Story mode the screen goes black? Your player log indicates a crash, but it's not specific and unfortunately doesn't include a lot of detail, but I suspect that's when the screen appears black on your end and you have to "rage quit" (ALT+F4) the game.
*Follow-up*
I just confirmed there are no conflicts between iCUE and Unity games (at least, with this game) and that's using the latest version: 5.3.102.

Well, we know there is a bug in Story mode right around the ending of the tutorial but that's been fixed in a later version. Unfortunately you'd only be able to get it via Patreon, Itch, Steam or Nutaku (links available in OP). Having said that, there are no known issues in Normal mode, so if you want, give that a try and see if you run into the same problem.

I thought it might. At least you got the game to play, so that's what matters. Thanks for letting me know that worked.

I seem to be stuck towards the end of the game, no one ever uses the pool and Orville won't progress so I can't do the vault paintings puzzle...

Are you sure you set the guest level to 5 in the lobby? Lower level guests won't use higher level facilities.

The management and the game mechanic with the cards are interesting.
Graphics and animations are nice too. Good game.
