Ren'Py - Mythic Manor [v0.21] [Jikei]

This is by far the best honey select style game I've played. It looks great despite the antiquated map, is sandbox with simple time management, no big grind and has cheats, and is surprisingly wholesome. The girls all have personalities, are lovable in their own way, ero scenes are hot and the player is not an asshole.

TLDR – A good harem game that has loads of content, but unfortunately shows its age in places.

Mythic Manor is a sandbox harem game with a morning-afternoon-night cycle. The girls will be in different locations at different times and if you talk to them at the right time to advance their storyline. The in game hint system is actually decent, but I played using the walkthrough and suspect most others do as well. Grinding is there, but it isn't terrible.

There's five main girls, but their storylines are independent so you can ignore them if you want. All of the plots are slice of life stuff with very little drama going on. Despite the low-stakes the paths kept my interest and the 'payoff' felt good. The writing is serviceable.

There are problems through.

While the models still hold up fairly well, a lot of the animations are simple and old fashioned. The developer is going back and updating them, but with so much legacy content to cover its a fresh coat of paint not a renovation. There's some scene composition problems as well. Honeyselect's male models are notoriously bad and the MC is no exception, but he shows up on camera with unfortunate regularity in the smut scenes.

The writing has issues as well. The 'MC' is a blank slate even by porn game standards. While the girls start out with distinctive personalities, two of them quickly converge as their storylines go on. And the dialogue falls down in places.

Still enjoyable, although not one of the top tier in 2020.

This game gives me some Harem hotel vibes so of course im going to like it. These characters however are really special, because they're Mythics and Im a fan of fantasy monster girl hybrids, So I really like how their mythic nature is mixed with their character and attitude. The story is good but the game is mostly just free roam, talk to the girls, go through their story, and there. Its pretty simple. I give it a 10/10 for good story, good unique character design, and simplicity.

An excellent game with great visuals, great diverse cast of characters that have distinct personalities and unique looks, the writing is well done with some fun and heartfelt moments as well as plenty of intimate and sex scenes, and you get to choose who you want to pursue or ignore depending on your taste in a very simple to navigate gameworld map. Some minor complaints would be that some better-detailed hints on how to progress some characters would be nice and a few events are laughably short that consist of an exchange of very few lines of empty dialogue.

Amazing game! Already lot of contents, but there's much more to come.

-Renders 5/5
-Animation 4.5/5 not the superlative quality, but much more animation scene than other games.
-Story 5/5 very interesting. remind me of X-men.
-Characters 5/5 Each main character's attractive. and tons of side characters as well

I can't believe how good this game has gotten over the many updates, the story is good and easy to follow and plenty of wank material! The Dev should feel accomplished with this, monster girls but still retains the human side of the characters. Well done in my book!

Mythic Manor is a very well made Renpy game made by Jikei, who is contributing to it non stop since the beginning. The characters are all very well written and none is boring or copy-pasted from other games. Each character-story line is on its own a VN, that's worth to play. The complexity of connecting each character to a mansion of lewd girls, each with its own personality and quirks and kinks, is a true masterpiece.
Jikei showed the community over a long period of time, that he has the breath and power to support this game until it is finished, which is sadly becoming more and more rare these days with other games and developers.

Mythic Manor and its maker are a figurehead of lewd gaming. Playing Mythic Manor was - and still is - a very pleasure.

A neat and laid back VN that you can navigate and play through at your own pace.
The girls are all pretty cute, each having their own personality and unique appeal to them. For example, I'm not really a fan of the oppai loli archetype, but Fanora's bubbly personality and... "character progression" actually took me by surprise. There's a little something for everyone here, so long as you're not looking for anything too hardcore. That being said, this is a REALLY vanilla game with a feel-good and relatively wholesome atmosphere to it, so if that's what you're into, stop reading this review and download the damn game already.
Support jikei on patreon! The dude really deserves it.

Also, Jade is a good girl.

My favorite game among the others I've played so far. Extremely cute girls with fully animated and butter smooth scenes. Characters are all so lovable, if there was sufficient content, i wouldn't need a wife. So hooked to the music its become nostalgic to me. Game play is easy and extremely rewarding. #feelingblessed Not being a generic overused school theme is a plus. First game ever to pop my patreon cherry.

Really love this one ... The story is good, have animated sex scene, have much character to fuck, good character and looks promising ... Cant say more xD
So tempted waiting a new version every month xD
Really lookin forward to it

Nice characters, decent amount of innovation when it comes to cliché stories. Not the best graphics for the environments around you, sure, but it sells the characters pretty darn well non the less.

Really solid in everything that it does, give it a bash.

This game is amazing, you want romance? It has all the romance you want. You want lewds? It can be pretty lewed. You want a dating sim? You can play this as a dating sim for days! You want action? not much of that to be honest, nothing can be perfect i didnt want to lie. BUT DO YOU LIKE HAREMS? this game WAS MADE FOR HAREMS BABYYYYYYY!! it can be super fun, super emotional, it has a few puzzles TONS of characters and its not even finished yet, i cant wait! I recommend downloading this once to see if its your speed and then resit the urge to download it at patches just to enjoy the MASTAHPIECE that this game will be once is finished.

PROS

- The girls. Especially Nefari. Very diverse selection which is unusual for these types of games.

- Animations and Renders especially in later stages of the game.

- Devs dedication to improving the game.

- SFX during sex scenes are a nice touch although they are not in sync with the action but who cares.

- Multiple viewing angles with different "Orgasm" faces for each of the girl's personality is sheer genius. For example; Nefari keeps a sultry smile the entire time you bang her while Federa winces a little and is more animated-no pun intended. THAT'S FANTASTIC ATTENTION TO DETAIL. As soon as I saw Esther smiling the whole time she was getting plowed I knew this game was a winner.



CONS

- Even with cheats there is still an inescapable grind mechanic. There is a leveling system for each girl ranked 1 to 27, 1 being the girl barely knows you and 27 being the girl wants to have your baby. I actually like the ranking system but unfortunately each girl can only increase one level per 'in-game' day. Thus, to max out a girl it takes essentially 27 'in-game' days. WTF!!? Some of the missions can even be done in the same day but are unnecessarily limited to separate days.

- Latter mechanic is a lazy way to try and lengthen the gameplay instead of just tweaking story progression.

- While each character is unique they all fall under the unrealistic premise of wanting to bang you within days. That's fine, every game doesn't have to have a slow burn but I feel the execution on when they start falling for you could have been done with better incentives.

- Dialogue leaves more to be desired although the sex scene dialogue is awesome.

- No Conflict in this game whatsoever so there's no sense of urgency and therefore no realistic elements which to me broke the immersion. The girls are HOT but why is the MC the only person in this universe aware of this apparently. Surely there must be some baddies to save the girls from and reap the sexual rewards of doing so.

-Sandbox element seems tacked on and is poorly done. For instance, the Town map GUI is awesome and easily recognizable due to labels. The Mythic house has no labels and requires you to basically memorize each door. Get rid of this sandbox element and build the game from the ground up with a more VN choice based system and it would be nearly perfect even with the weak plot or lack of conflict.

Where should i start?, this game is completely amazing in so many levels, the writing, the models, the story.

In my opinion is one of the not may games that can be so inmersive whit their characters and side stories that you would find

If i have been fallen for the characters you will too this game keep amazing me of every little detail that have like living in a manor, coking, working, etc this game is incredible in his own way, this game so far is one of the best VN games that i ever played.

MM has most of the time good renders with nice animations, only big flaw is the penis entering the vagina. It doesn't, it goes through flesh as if there is a bigger fleshcolored hole. (In such moments I even prefer it like in censored JAV.)

One of the worst renders was Flanora stuck in the window. If she would not be lying on her boobs while stuck, instead better on her stomack, it would have been looked better.

It gets sadly little boring after a while, because you need to find out where the girls are, beside where they work. So lot of searching is necessary. Some kind of appointment book in their rooms would be useful. Maybe a note on the door "Visiting the doctor." Or some kind of bulletin board.

Some keys, passwords or events I could never find out without a walkthrough. Because I have no reason in the game to shower or rest outside on the chairs. Or like meeting Jessa in the Servix Shop and so on. Even worst if it must be on a specific daytime or level of a girl.

More repair events would be nice. There is a skill for it and you don't use it most of the time. Why having a skill at all?

Giving Jade without any plausible reason several 100 bucks is just stupid.

Maybe a main story goal would be nice. Something beside just fucking the manor girls.

If the game would be more helpful to find out how to proceed (not something like maim lains walkthrough!) I would give more stars.

This game is EXCELLENT
Tried to search what to do myself with no walktrough kept me busy for a while with this game

- Good renders
- Great story
- No grind
- Sometimes hints can be confusing but i dont mind
- Lot of content to keep you busy
- love how the story of the game isnt about just normal people but about fantasy beings instead
5/5

This is one of those games that really really impress me. Dialogue is well written girls are beautiful and they even have some personalities () so far no bullshit drama and every single update is worth playing it's not just some poor excuse like we reworked this one image from a scene that we did 3 years ago and that took us half a year (I am looking at you summertime) so if you consider supporting a creator this one deserves it.

An interesting take on monstergirls in a modern setting with a nice selection of girls to pick out, all with their own bodytypes and personalities. I look forward to seeing where the game goes as it continues to get updates!

Mythic manor is a gem that stands out as an actual good game amongst the sea of shitty ass honeyselect games. The quality of renders is excellent but what amazes me the most are the characters. Every single character is completely unique in apparence, personality and story that im impressed at the fact they were all written by the same person.

Great game, great characters, great renders. All it needs now is to be completed which we might not see in a lifetime due to how ambitious the world size is. Hopefully i am proved wrong.

One of my favorite games thanks 4 the game the more story and each passing by can't wait 4 the update next. Love the mythic manor and side girls so much </3


~>The main characters and and side characters are both interesting

~> it has unique personality which is suited to one another character.

~>However I'm much more interested on side character rather than the main.

~>The story is not what I have predicted and I got mind blown of each girls personality which is interesting.

~>graphics and art is eye candy 4 my taste.

~>The music is like harmony that calms my mind.

~>The story after level up in each girl is getting more less story but it has good impact 4 my taste . However the less story will be not good better focus on story rather than sex just my opinion though.
