Flash - Completed - Zum Damenhaus [v4.1] [Randomcrow]

A porn game, which is actually a game and not a VN. It's fun to play and I like the heroines. Only downside are buggy customers and the need to reassign the girls to rooms after loading. Great game if you like the idea of running a fantasy brothel.

Hook: Another fun 2d brothel sim game with fun characters and decent animations.

Good:
+ Fun characters with complete story arcs. Dialogue pros are good.
+ Wide variety of kinks, including vanilla, bdsm, maledom, femdom, beasts, anthros, and preggo.
+ Actually decent sound effects for moaning, slapping and clapping.

Meh:
/ A couple visual bugs. A few minor QOL features missing, like daily quests persisting between saves.
/ It’s flash, so don’t expect the animations to blow you away. There is a lot of variety, tho. And an animation gallery.
/ Exploring and finding all the content is fun but has a huge in-game economic cost. The result of this is being stuck with the starting girls for about 2-4 hours (without using cheats).


Bad:
- Pretty grindy early-mid game. Late game picks up. Research and unlocking the skill tree takes a while. Leveling girls takes a while. Definitely consider using the cheats to get started.
- Repetitive music


Score: 8.2 / 10

NOTE: In order to clean the rooms you need a non-unique slave manning the 'Broom Closet' on the far right of your brothel (underground, not in your hotel). If you run into the elevator bug, you can wait until the end of the day and use the 'force day end' option then quit (not-recommended, you will gain no money) or you can immediately quit as the auto-save system is very well done and saves at the beginning of every day. Be aware that quitting is going to clear your job board however.

This is the first time I have ever felt the need to review a game. This game is easily one of the best available on f95. Granted, there are plenty of Ren'Py games that have high-quality renders and good stories, but there's a surprising lack of 'non-static' games where you get to interact with the game as the lewd actions occur on screen.

Granted, this game is definitely not bug-free, and it could definitely have more options available, but what is here (at the time of review) is definitely worth playing if this game seems interesting to you at all. I sincerely hope the developer keeps working on this game and we get more and more content.

This game is basically a management-sim with special girls/slaves that have unique occupations assigned to them, for example only one is capable of scouting slaves, another bar-tending and lastly research. The other slaves in your harem all have attributes that will make them happier or sadder depending on where you put them/what job they're assigned.

If you run into a bug (I ran into quite a few, I believe it has to do with fast-forwarding and I tend to leave fast-forwarding off now) the game has a very good auto-save system that simply saves everyday even after you make executive decisions for the day. I am not running this game on Windows and I found it to still be easily playable with a unique charm that I found captivating. If you find yourself stuck/bugged, it's best to simply restart the game and (in my experience) the only progress you'll lose is whatever happened *that day*.

As somewhat of a 'lewd-games enthusiast' who wants to make games like this one day, I found this game highly motivating and it will definitely be a reference for what's possible for a solo developer. Yes, the game has bugs and it's not the best graphics I've ever seen, but the content provided here is far more fun than any Ren'Py/VN game I've played because it's interactive and engaging.

TL;DR:
Pros:
-Interactivity/Level of Engagement
-Uniqueness
-Self-aware story snippets
-Relatively easy with difficult decisions
-Content/Races (I am an absolute pervert who'd love male-versions of slaves, but oh well)
-Potential
-Linux Friendly

Cons:
-Bugs
-Tutorial completely forgets to mention how to clean rooms
-Non-persistent Job Board, I don't mind quitting relatively often to negate bugs, but it sucks when I reload the game and a job I was working towards is now gone. That being said, the jobs rotate pretty often and you'll usually find the same job or a similar one on another day.

I like the direction and mechanics of this game. The animations are intersting and well done. I'd like to see even more depth added, more room functions and more "girls" to collect, but what is currently here is fun enough for a good play session. I hope he keeps up the work as it would be a shame to see this idea abandoned.

A very successful game which I have followed for a long time and really enjoy playing more often than once! I hope that games attract a lot of attention and that it turns out to be a very successful game!
