    First played this VN a long time ago, but playing it now, while it's still really good, I didn't like it as much as the top-top-tier harem VNs out there.

    The characters are cute, but kinda' one-note.

    The renders are good, but not as good as I'd remembered. Everything looks a bit faded and washed out, for some reason.

    A lot of the usual tropes. Girls falling and showing their panties, peeking, tops falling off, etc.

    But, despite my complaints, there is a ton of content here, and I did have fun.

    The dialogue is charming and both the map and cast are vast (bars) For sure use a walkthrough mod, though.

    4*

    Very well executed sandbox harem game.
    Magical races live among humans by donning a human disguise. You yourself grew up as a human but turn out to have mythic ancestry. Now go out there and get yourself a harem of magical girlfriends.

    This game never tries to establish or create any sort of story or plot. After the games introduction all aspects of story are complelty abadoned and replaced with a slice of life environment. It's a sandbox game that will have you spend time with the different heroines everyday and improve your relationship with them, eventually of course fucking them. That's about it for this game, there's nothing really past that, no linear story exists and you mostly get to choose the order of which girl's path to go down first or multiple at a time (doesn't matter). Most of the heroines aren't terrible per say but most of them do feel quite bland. None of their characters are fleshed out or devlop in any way shape or form. There's no memoriable interactions or moments at any point that will have you ever feel something other than lust lol. This definitly isn't helped by the absolute most blank slate, self insert MC I've ever seen. This guy has as much individuality as a brick wall. He doesn't even have the typical "Nice guy," "Pervert," type of "Personality," he simply doesn't have one. It's to the point where you could remove all his lines and the story wouldn't even be affected. Half the time it feels like the heroines are talking to themselves and since none of them are that particularly interesting in their own right, it creates quite boring interactions and a dull atmosphere. There's absolutely no flow of conversation, it feels as if someone threw a brick at your head and then asks you what a rhombicosidodecahedron is. ( , is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces.)
    I understand that this is a porn game at the end of the day and that it's a free one at that but for a game so popular and highly rated there's no excuse for some of this stuff. As for the h scences, most of them are extremely vanilla with a lot of exhibition and some threesomes thrown in. I really can't complain and there are some decent h scenes (Later in game) in here but most of them are extremely forgettable. The early game's h scenes animations are god awful, unfappable I tell you which is really unfortunate. The animations do get better with time and it's they've been pretty good these past few updates. However, the game's renders cannot be ignored. Simply put, they're god awful (Even by 2017 standards), they have about 5 pixels and look like something you would find on 4chan in 2010. They have not aged AT ALL to modern standards, original honey select simply isn't the way to go anymore.



    I could see why some people could like the game, it's a very lax and vanilla experience that has a shit ton of h scenes. If that's what you want go for it, but it simply has way too many problems for me to rate it anything above 2 stars.

    A not-so-awful experience saved by some good-looking characters and a pleasant atmosphere BUT downed by a way too big scale, verbose lore, run-of-the mill Honey Select staging and looks that are outdated AF!

    Be warned before heading into Mythic Manor: the graphics and animations are VERY DATED. Some environment textures even look downright atrocious. Of course looks are not everything but they still count for something and contribute a great deal to a game’s atmosphere. Not gonna lie, Mythic Manor often looks CHEAP.
    That goes on-par with animations: a wide range of common Honey Select poses. Not helped with the absence of a moving camera, panning or zooming. Overall a very static experience.
    So should we look for a good script? The story’s based on Mythics, creatures that you may or may not meet in the game. The lore is established but personally it took some effort to develop an interest as the narration is quite average.
    As for the bigger scale - and we’re dealing with a sandbox type here - the game suffers from the “too many LIs/too many places syndrome“. Some updates are entirely dedicated to side-girls when the main ones are still waiting for their breakouts (at the time of writing this, it’s been more than three years in development). The map features tons of places, most of them you won’t have access to. All in all the scale is a tad too ambitious.

    Sometimes old school looks is a good thing, and somehow features can age very well but unfortunately not here. It's a shame really, sometimes I wish this one were made later so it could use a newer version of Honey Select. Figures.

    Version Played:0.17

    A game with some cute, lovable characters in a unique world-setting, MM is also light and breezy and just makes you feel good. There are some slightly darker themes, but overall, it's a great time. The game also has a pseudo-fantasy, modern day setting that is interesting.

    Positives:
    + Great cast of unique girls. Side girl content is also hot.
    + No grinding - you can just follow each character's content route
    + Consistent updates
    + BUSH!

    Negatives:
    - Might be a little too vanilla for some people
    - Same ol' Honey Select models

    Like this? Try!: Harem Hotel
    Notes to Dev: Really looking forward to seeing what comes next!

    This review is based on .17.

    One sentence review - Get ready to get freaky with a bunch of sexy monster girls with every boob size you could want.

    Visuals - 5/5 At first the graphics were rough but the dev has really put work into them! The animations are also the best in the bizz.
    Story - 4/5 It's more like side stories rather than a general story. Some are more interesting than others
    Characters - 5/5 . You got a fetish? Find her here!
    Music - 3/5 Basic sounds and music
    Fappability - 5/5 Just play with one hand!

    Mythic Manor offers a lot of anime-style harem scenarios. One could argue it's not very original but the game pulls it off very well and not all games need to reinvent the wheel, right? There's no clear main storyline (as of now) and instead it follows the interactions with various characters. Speaking of characters, they all got their own personalities even if there's nothing too wild about them.

    What makes the game truly shine is that everything it does it does well. It doesn't try to pull of serious emotional rollercoasters and delivers a plethora of light-hearted, fun and sexy content. The sex scenes gradually increase as the game progresses which allows the relationships with the girls to feel more authentic.

    I'd give it a 4.5 but gonna round up, can truly recommend this game!

    The game has broad content,nice art,plenty of scenes, animations and sandbox tag. Overall its a good game. Currently playing version 0.16,where the main story is in development,which I think the game is lack of, a focused story given the broad content the game provide. Hope the next updates will make up for it

    I really liked this game!
    The whole Mythic Universe seems pretty nice, the individual stories are great it really makes me feel connected to the characters in way.
    I personally love Naira, Paige,Iris and Nefari.
    The mechanics is nice, it feels normal not easy nor hard. I do not mind that some small things like shower take a chunk of day ( coz I just don't shower much unless some action is need).
    The graphics, characters and scenes are very pretty and hot! I just :love: it!
    (;):p )
    I would love to see this game flourish!!

    Had high hopes coming into this game. But it turns out to be a huge disappointment. The graphics are extremely dated. Animations mediocre. And the writing just incredibly banal and simplistic.

    The game started of decently enough and seemed interesting with the variety of girls and location. But soon, it turned into a simplistic formula with no real story. And to make matters worse, the excuses to put subpar lewd animations are ridiculous. Spilling coffee on clothes? Really?

    And as you progress into the game the girls start to all sound the same and lose whatever personality they had at the start. You can tell quality starts to drop.

    I wish this was a better game but it just wasnt very good. Well at least it has some fapable scenes and decent amount of content.

    This may be my favorite game that I have found on this site.

    Tons of content already, great characters, the story and writing is entertaining, lots of diverse H-Scenes, and no grind. Definitely try this one out.

    All of the girls are great but Naira is definitely my favorite!

    Absolutely amazing!! Love how unique and lovable each individuals are, and they are all perfect in their own design. This is definitely in my top 3 of Harem games <3 Keep up the direction of this game, because it is absolutely perfect the way it's being made.

    Worth the time for sure! I was sceptical at first, but as far as sandbox games go, I have very few problems with this one! Most of the characters are great! There are a select few I don't really care for, but others grew on me, although they did not seem interesting at first. And so, a sandbox as it is, you can to some degree just skip stuff you don't care about it, or end a fair deal of the scenes early if they don't appeal to you. I ended up having a lot of fun with Mythic Manor. Even with "under construction" signs everywhere, there's quite a lot of content as it is! Leaves me hopeful for what the future has in store for this game!

    I saw a couple of people making a paralel between with Harem Hotel and Mystic Manor. Well I can seay there are some similarities, Mythic Manor is much more of a coming of age (for the MC and for the girls) story, than a "let's have a harem" type of game. The amount of content this game has (and will have a in the future) in my opinion is much more tha HH will or currently have. Don't gat me wrong, both of the games are Excelent for me in their own right. If you want a mild romance and lots of sex, go with HH, but if you want a more refined "let's build a relationship" kind of game, go with MM. Now that the comparison is out of the way let's get into it.

    As I mentioned, the characters are wery lifelike and have their own quirks and personalities. Each and every girl is different and have something different to offer, depending what kinky/romantic itch you need scratching. My personal favorite is Nefi (the egyptian looking girl). Her somewhat domineering yet leter on vulnerable and slightly submissive character gives me a satisfying story, that could be it's own game by it self. And for the others? It's the same. While I have my own likes and dislikes, I can say, without a shred of doubt, that any and everyone can find his/her/it/apache helikopter/ze/they/them/orc/nuclear material (sorry got into it) perfect waifu/main girl here.

    Now is there a downside? Yes. This game suffers from the time problem that every other game suffers from. I mean, you really will take up an entire section of a day with a simple shower? Come on... Unfortunately with the inclusin of the sunday if you want to get every scene you have to become a bit cold and calculated. With a bit of tweeking hower, this can be solved.

    All in all, this game is incredible. While the over arching story is not that important the characters and the intaraction with them and between them make it one of, if not THE best adult games out there.

    [disclaimer - this review is for the game WITH Lain's mod - if Lain makes a mod, there's usually a reason for it.]

    I think the recent reviewers have been unnecessarily harsh to this game. While it's not one of my personal favorites (it leans way too heavily into the voyerism/exhibitionism fetish, which is probably the turn-off for most folks, like me), it's still a very high quality game and definitely deserving of this rating.

    This is yet another one of the games that prove that the key to success of an adult game is its characters. The characters in this one are incredible. There's plenty of variety to them, both in terms of body types and personalities, there's plenty of personality to each of the 5 main characters, there are plenty of situations where this personality is allowed to happen, and there is plenty of character exploration and development. There are not too many main characters, so each one is given their due screen time, but there are plenty of side characters should you get bored of the main ones.

    Everything else stands well enough to let the characters shine. Sex scenes? Good enough. Grind? Very tolerable if you cheat (don't be ashamed of cheating, the grind might get to you). Story? Happily non-existent (a major drawback to way too many games is having a story, if you don't have a story you won't take away too much time from the characters, which are this game's forte). UI? Works. Everything else? Good enough.

    A definite recommend from me.

    Pros:
    • Story is great
    • Some characters look good(some look out of place or need higher texture quality)
    • Okay H scenes(averaged the rating between all H scenes)
    • Alright H scenarios(averaged the rating between all H scenes scenarios in the game atm)
    • Nice character interactions with environment(girls using bathroom, pool or doing things in their room(only seen using camera)

    Cons:
    • The Game is pretty grindy
    • Finding the characters are sometimes almost impossible to find (its supposed to give you a hint but sometimes its too vague)
    • Character H expressions aren't good (except maybe fanora for some scnenes and naira due to it fitting thematically with the character, but not good enough)
    • Disappointed in story and Hscene scenarios for Esther(Supposed mother like character)
    • Environmental texture looks like a texture from games from the 1990s sometimes
    • Some characters just look weird in some shots
    • Camera angles are bad in some places especially during H scenes to the point where it ruins it some times
    • Climax scenes feels like a real let down due to angles and H expression and body positioning
    • Alot of little annoying things like having to install the camera this should just be automatic
    • Majority of the items you buy are useless only ever buy things which the task states you need
    I've played out the whole game that it has to offer for the moment. H scenes need alot of work or be redone for some.
    Some characters just need a complete new or better texture quality eg Esther, Naira abit, Velle.
    This game is really worth playing for the story just sadly the visuals can't seem to keep up...

    [As of v0.16]


    The Good:
    - Girls are amazing.
    - Lewd and sex scenes are amazing.
    - Love the watery sounds during the lewd scenes (add some moans would be perfect)
    - Great animations (scenes during early game were bad tho)


    The Bad:
    (Maybe this "daily bases" play style isn't for me? )
    - Took too long to build up.
    - Is there even a story?
    - Early game animation is really bad (2 fps animation), glad they improve throughout the game.


    Conclusion:
    I don't think there is a story to this game. Constant clicking and clicking, I quitted after every girls achieved LV10. Too much grind and pointless.
    HOWEVER, the girls are nice and if u want to have a good time,
    Just enter the code "seenscenes" and enjoy yourself.

    4/5.

    Also, pls rework early game animation.
