Sticker idea: Jin in her farming outfit

Forgot to add in the patreon personalities that Ashley wants to make a large family to show her kids the love she always wanted herself.

There's a lot that isn't included. A post needs to be digestible.

Gotcha. I guess it is like a brief synopsis.

please add spanish  language

Is it not already in game?

Choose it from the Options menu. If you play on android, you may need to scroll the screen to see all of options.

I don't understand what needs to be done at level 16 of the relationship with Lin... I've tried various things but nothing works.

You may need to build the Dungeon and wait a few days.

Like you can read above in the “Themes included” section, pregnancy is a planned feature.

It is likely years until game is complete and pregnancy is added to game.

It appears that your computer is having issues with its audio device. I do not believe this is an issue with the game. Try reconnecting your audio device.

Please add Arabic language 🙏🏻

Developer writes in English, all other languages are done by volunteers.

If you want Arabic, find out of there is already translation group for that language and offer to help in the work.

I think Im about to reach the ending for the current content.

Overall I find the game enjoyable but grindy af.

Imo I cant help but feel weird out by the android story line. Perhaps there will be an option to choose kink/fetishes and story content in the future?

Also please consider adding femboy content

(5 edits) (+6)

Thanks for your feedback.

To progress a character's story, you simply have to wait a few days in most cases (which you can do in seconds). This cooldown is intentional and pushes you to follow another character's stories. No grinding is necessary unless you are trying to unlock every outfit for every character as soon as you can. Most income is passive so you can focus on the story.

I'm quite lost as to which fetishes Android has that the other characters don't, aside from optional breast reduction/expansion. 

While there is some femboy content, I am not personally interested in it, so it shouldn't be expected.

(4 edits) (-5)

oh whoa Thanks for replying

I guess its just my weird min-max + grind the fun away kind of mindset, to never use the wait button and make the most out of each day. (side note speaking of money, the pay off debt option has the too good to use syndrome at least for me)

As for android, I feel like ally story is getting in the way somehow in my head canon. My fetishes suggestion would be (idk if renpy support these things, I'm not a dev)

  • cunnilingus/bj with detached head
  • sex with detached limbs
  • cumflation (+interaction with ash)
  • maybe impersonation (think of blade runner 2049 with the prostitute) but does not feel like a thing she would do tho but could maybe be fun for the espionage side of the story

Also my dumbass brain found hard to keep track of the timeline where some (parallel but sometimes intersecting) story are progressed further from others . I feel like having a chapter system would help but the economy balancing may be ruined?

I also wish I could auto choose what to jin grow in the garden (I guess I could sell all the other seeds) and auto renew ad

Deleted 5 hours ago

Different strokes for different folks... If you're looking for scenes with detached head or limbs.. I'd suggest checking out fap nights at frennis, since it involves possessed animatronics

I recently upgraded from 18.0 to 18.2. Since then I get an error every morning.

Harem Hotel v0.18.2
Sat Jun  7 05:49:56 2025

It happens every day right before the new day is announced. I really do not want to start a new game. (maybe when v19 is released later this year.) 

Is there anyway I can fix it?

Is this going to affect me in any way other than my garden not growing? Or possibly interfere with Jin's story?

Thanks (and bracing for a realistic answer that I probably don't want to hear.)

I recently upgraded from 18.0 to 18.2

How did you do the upgrade? Patching 0.18.0 to 0.18.2? Unpacking the full game to another directory? Where did you download them from?

That error message makes me suspect there is something wrong with the game files.

I downloaded 18.2 (the full release) from itch. I extracted it which created a new directory, Harem_Hotel-v0.18.2-pc

I then moved  the saves directory from the old version into the game folder. 

When I played v18.0, it was also a full release from itch and it was the first time that I played the game so all my saves originated from this version.

(1 edit)

That's the issue, never touch your saves. That will break them. You don't need to do anything except launch the game and click 'continue' when you download a new version.

With any luck your autosaves will load fine, but any saves you moved may be broken forever.

Scammer Bots are everywhere. Do not click to any of these links, they are Viruses.

You can check their recent post, it is easy to tell whether they are Scammer Bot or not is because they will be spamming these everywhere.

Don't click their links or images, I warned you.

I hope that no one ever fall for their tricks.

And I wish you all to have a great day.

Thank you for reading this...

I was having problem on loading save. Loading save after the game start is fine but after i load, and i want to open another load, it show these error

(+1)

If possible, click "ignore" until the errors stop. This error occurs when you load a save from a previous version into a changed script.

Save save do load properly but other show error. When i use 'ignore' it either continue my previous save or start new game if i didnt load any before.


Is there no way to fix this?

(1 edit)

Clicking Ignore shouldn't load a different save in any circumstance. 

You can also try loading an auto save.

Runey, can the girls actually get pregnant? In general. Are they and mc fertile?

(+1)(-1)

Yeah

I want MC to make all the girls dreams related to having babies come true. Each of the moments the girls have to open about that topic is very sweet.

How can I activate the 6th jin event?

(-2)

Enter the farming area behind the garden.

Thanks You 

How do I activate the 7th Jin event?, It tells me that I need a shovel.Gloves, rake And loppers.

(+1)

At the end of the event you just did, MC should have said "Now I'll head to the park to pick up some supplies"

Umm can someone help me how do you update the game on Android cuz I don't want to replay the whole game tysm

Could we pleaseee get a rough estimate on the release of 0.19?

Love you work btw. <3

(2 edits) (+3)

Devs giving a date for a release is difficult because it puts pressure on the devs to deliver. If they miss the date due to circumstances, then they have to tell the fans it's delayed which makes them look untrustworthy and dishonest. Very few devs can give a "100% comes out on this date"

(+3)

Hey, I heard that during the last two updates, your schedule has been quite unstable. Hope you aren't becoming the MC's grandfather, sapping your own life for a project to succeed you. We will wait for however long it takes. I hope you know there's no pressure of that sort. From my side, atleast...

At the end of the game.

Happy Anniversary to Harem Hotel!! I know I'm fucked in life when I'm 18 now and I first played this game 5 years ago... yeah. But the thing is, I almost never gooned on the game, I'm more locked in on the story, and I still can't believe a harem vn made me cry back then. Beautiful game.

I just wanted to say, thanks for being cool, and stay cool. Real ones always appreciate quality content, and I can tell you put a lot of yourself into this.

(-1)

Can you make the APK by itself please. This is my favorite game and I can't install it

(+3)(-3)

No.

You can read old discussions about this same subject.

To answer the question: Runey has mentioned that, based on his current knowledge, Ren'py has a size limit of 2 GBs for .apk files. The game, as of update 0.18.2, is ~12 GBs in size. Another method will be required in order to create an .apk file for the game.

I vaguely recall someone suggesting a method, but I could be wrong about that one (it's been awhile). But to reiterate: the .apk file can't be created by itself due to the size of the game.

I am just curious, what is the maximum size of an APK file that isn't distributed via Google Play?

And including all expansion files, what exactly is the largest possible size of a non-Google Play Android app?

I'm not sure about Google Play. But in order to create the .apk file, Runey has to go through Ren'py itself. If there are other methods, I'm not aware of them.

The only method i find from other dev in itch is to create separate folder for the apk data. Then user install the apk and paste the folder in to android data folder. However, recent android version has limited user access to this folder and it would be hard for user that dont understand much about this.

(+2)(-1)

Hey Runey! To enhance the gameplay experience and add more depth to certain scenes, how about adding some sound effects such as the main charact. putting it in on the main girls or you decide. I'd really appreciate if you could include this in a future update. it would even be better if some of those sounds included "moaning" for added immersion.                        

Thanks for reading my comment!                                              

(+5)(-2)

It's something I would definitely like to add, but the issue is the quality. I could find some random sex sounds on the internet, but most people would probably turn the sound off in that case. It's also not very reasonable for me to hire at least 8 different voice actresses for this, the scale of the game is too big. I think the only shot would be to generate AI moans in the future.

AI-generated moans could really work! I’m hopeful this turns out to be a success. Thanks!

Hey bit of an odd request but i was looking at my game and it is patch 0.16 i think and i would really like to avoid redownloading the entire thing so is there any place where i can find patch 0.17 and install that?

(-1)

Current version is 0.18.2, so patching to 0.17 would still leave you without the latest version.

patch 0.16 i think

To verify what version you have go Info item in the menu.

The old patch from 0.16 to 0.17 may not be available anymore, unless someone has saved that old file.

Would it make more sense to download the 0.18.2 version and play that?

You do not mention what platform you are on.

i am on pc yes i am on 0.16 just checked. the reason i dont want to go straight to 0.18 coz its a 12gb download unless i have 0.17

You can download the v0.17 patch on my Patreon. There should be patches for versions going back years.

Hey, I am wondering If i did Something wrong because i cant get the Upgrade for the Greenhouse. I am done with lins Story so far and am stuck with Jin doing basically nothing.

Do i have to Trigger a Special Event so i can buy the Green House Upgrade ?

Thanks in advance.

(-1)

So you do not have a greenhouse at all in the garden?

Does talking to Ellen show any possible upgrades to the garden?

What level are Jin and Lin now?

(1 edit) (+1)

Did you enter the farm area behind the garden? It should be clearer when starting a game from the beginning.

That was ist, sorry i completly missed it.

Great Game btw!

I can't reinstall joiplay on my Android. Is there a way do have renplay for the game? 

(-1)

What is a renplay?

Why can you not install joiplay? What happens when you try to install it?

I installed joiplay, pretty simple, and snagged the relevant ren'py plugin, but get the white screen of doom exception occurred on launch. It does say it likes 7411 plugin better but it won't let me install that one, just says invalid. 

hey im having an issue with the game, whenever i go to sleep i get an error, ignoring it or doing a rollback doesnt do anything at all it just keeps repeating every night, tried reinstalling too but it didnt change, im not sure but i think it keeps preventing me from ending jin's story so i'd love to fix that

(-1)

You should post a screenshot of the error if you expect anyone to be able to help you.

I need to see the error to offer advice or fix it.

Harem Hotel v0.18.2

Thu May 29 14:04:41 2025

[/code]

And you've already tried reinstalling from a fresh download? That would be my suggestion. It appears to be a very unique bug.

yeah, I had the bug on 1.17.2, then i noticed i am playing on outdated version so i downloaded the newest one (just 1.18.2 version, not the patch one) and it still happens

(-11)

IT IS A VIRUS!!

(+2)(-1)

Damn that's news to me.

(1 edit) (+2)

If you have a legit claim, then include your source, otherwise please don't post things like that. It does more harm than good. Misinformation is worse than no information.

(-1)

the game is saying my relationship is too high for one or more of the girls and i need to revert it or load a older file, i dont want to load an older file and start far back so is there a way to revert their relationship levels so i can continue their stories

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

Have you perhaps used a code to set relationship levels higher? If yes, same way you can maybe set them lower.

You do not need to start far back, if you did not save often there are autosaves. Try if one of them sets the game to the right footing.

I seem to remember similar situation happened to me. I think it was after using Gallery and reviewing old events. I exited game and continued from previous save.

(-1)

I can give that a shot but I do sometimes save often , I don't think i used a cheat to set them high but i can see about loading a somewhat recent one but I've been like 200+ days(game time) into the game and idk where this would've occurred 

(+1)

The level can only be too high if you've cheated it or something beyond my control occurred. This can easily be fixed by using the console and typing in the name of the over-leveled character followed by _friendship -= 1. Such as: maria_friendship -= 1

(2 edits)

Hey Runey? Dunno if you remember this (Honestly I don't remember when I posted the comment about the bug, but I know the game has at least been updated a few times since then and I don't feel like looking for the comment) but that thing where it still gives Lin a point in anal even if you tell her no on the event trigger is still there. Just did it a few minutes ago while I was replaying the game for the revamped content (Love what you did with it btw, the changes to some of the girls' earlier events were a nice touch, personal favorite being the first time you watch a movie with Ashley) Wanted to check and see if you still remembered it being there or if its meant to be that way now since if Lin doesn't experience anal and neither does Ashley then they probably wouldn't recommend it to Android later during one of her events. Still, telling Lin no to anal and then having her later act like she has done it before is incredibly immersion breaking, along with mildly annoying. No pressure or anything, just wanted to see where you were at on that particular situation. for further specification, I'm running v.0.18.2 and I'm talking about the event trigger for Lin on level 13 that levels her up to 14, denying anal for other characters usually results in a permanent lockout and inability to even see the option for the scene in the future, for reference Ashley's level 9 event in which her mom finds her, when you deny anal twice you are permanently unable to access anal with her (which, as someone who vehemently despises anal play I am very pleased by, thanks for making that a feature, Runey) but for Lin the lockout prompt does not happen, it unlocks repeatable anal anyway, and adds +1 to her anal sex count, buttslut trait, and sluttiness

Thanks for letting me know! Looking into this now.

No problem, hope it isn't hard to fix for you, in the meantime have fun with the coding, man

RUNEY! GIVE US AN OPTION TO MARRY LIN AND MY LIFE IS YOURSimage.png

Some day ;)

(1 edit)

Let's just stop this before it starts. Runey said "Some day" not next update, not next year, not next decade. The girls of HH are in no position to even ask about marriage at the moment. If you played HH then you know.

We should have that option for any of the girls at some point. Good endgame content

(+1)

How about all of them? At the same time?

I mean, it's called Harem fucking Hotel...

Very good game. the choose of a story based on events often trigger by the player give a perfect speed to the story.
The character are attaching, and seeing their pain really hurt(poor poor maria TT) proof of the quality of this game. while also bringing us joy and lighthearted moment.
The only downside I have is that the game is not over yet. something that as someone who like to focus on story-driven games until reach their end, bother me. The development speed though completely justified by the amount of work involve also makes me wonder if I’ll ever get to see the end TT. since it seem like it will take years before the story reach it. I wanna see maria free again TT.

Thank you so much! This project is my career and what puts food on the table. So long as I'm able live off of making HH, it will continue :) So thank you all for your support!

Issue with Self-Voicing in Ren'Py Games - Request for Assistance

Dear Runey

I hope you're doing well. I am writing to bring up an issue I have encountered with the self-voicing feature in the game [Game Name] (e.g., Harem Hotel), which is built using the Ren'Py engine. The issue revolves around certain dialogues, choices, and menu items not being read aloud when the player presses the "V" key, enabling self-voicing with the SAPI (Speech Application Programming Interface) text-to-speech (TTS) system. While some dialogues are properly read aloud, others are not.

Problem Description:

In [Game Name], when I press the "V" key, I expect the game's dialogue to be read out loud using the Windows SAPI TTS system. However, certain dialogues, choices, and menu options are not being read aloud, even though they are visible on the screen. This issue seems to occur in specific parts of the game, and I suspect that some dialogues and menu elements are not properly linked to the TTS system.

Additionally, I would like to clarify that the game is played entirely using the keyboard when the self-voicing mod is enabled. This means that when I press Enter, the dialogue advances to the next line, and when there is a list of choices, I can navigate through them using the arrow keys (up/down). However, the self-voicing feature does not read some parts of the dialogue, menus, or choices during this process.

It appears that the self-voicing feature might not have been fully implemented for all dialogues, choices, or menus in the game. While the function works fine for some parts of the game, other parts (such as choices and menus) seem to be missing from this feature.

Potential Causes:

There could be a few reasons why some dialogues, choices, and menus are not being read aloud:

1. 

Incomplete Implementation of Self-Voicing:

Some dialogues, choices, or menu items may not be connected to the self-voicing system, meaning they are not marked for reading aloud with SAPI TTS.

2. 

Misconfiguration in Ren'Py Script:

There may be sections in the Ren'Py script where the dialogues, choices, or menu items are not tied to the TTS system or the corresponding "sapi" voice is missing.

3. 

Improper Text Formatting for TTS:

Some dialogue or menu text may not be formatted in a way that is recognized by the TTS system. For example, text that is inside menus or quick choices might not be processed correctly for self-voicing.

4. 

Windows SAPI TTS Engine Issues:

There could also be issues related to the Windows TTS engine (e.g., a missing or incompatible voice file).

Suggested Solutions:

1. Verify if All Dialogues, Choices, and Menus are Linked to the TTS Function

The first step is to ensure that every piece of dialogue, choice, and menu item in the script is properly linked to the self-voicing feature. Ren'Py allows the developer to define a voice that should be used for TTS. If this is not done consistently, some dialogues or menu items may not be read aloud.

Example Fix for Dialogue:

To ensure TTS is activated for all dialogues, make sure the voice property is consistently applied to all dialogue characters. Here’s an example of how to define it in the Ren'Py script:

renpy

define e = Character('Eileen', voice="eileen.ogg")  # TTS voice file for the character

label start:

    e "Hello, welcome to the hotel!"  # This dialogue will be read aloud using TTS.

    e "How are you feeling today?"

In this example, the voice file eileen.ogg is linked to the character Eileen. Ren'Py will use the specified voice file to read the dialogue aloud.

2. Ensure Choices and Menus are Included in the TTS System

It's important to make sure that choices and menus are also connected to the TTS system, as these are often missed in the script. You can achieve this by adding a TTS function specifically for these interactive elements.

Example Fix for Choices:

You can define a function to ensure that choices are also read aloud. Here's an example of how to ensure that the TTS reads the choices:

renpy

label start:

    menu:

        "How are you feeling today?":

            "Good":

                e "That's great to hear!"

            "Not so good":

                e "I'm sorry to hear that."

Ensure that each choice option triggers TTS:

You can also create a function to read the menu choices aloud:

renpy

init python:

    def speak_choice(text):

        renpy.say("sapi", text)  # Forces the text to be read aloud when a choice is made

label start:

    menu:

        "How are you feeling today?":

            "Good":

                $ speak_choice("Good")  # This choice will trigger TTS

                e "That's great to hear!"

            "Not so good":

                $ speak_choice("Not so good")  # This choice will trigger TTS

                e "I'm sorry to hear that."

In this example, the choice options will trigger TTS, making sure that choices are also read aloud.

3. Create a Global TTS Function for All Text Elements

To ensure that all dialogue, choices, and menus are read aloud consistently, you can create a global function that will force TTS for every text element in the game. This ensures that even non-character specific text (such as UI elements or custom menus) will be read aloud.

Example Global Function:

You can add this function to the init python block in your script to make sure that every line of text is read aloud:

renpy

init python:

    def speak_text(text):

        renpy.say("sapi", text)  # Forces the text to be read aloud using TTS.

label start:

    $ speak_text("Hello, welcome to the hotel!")

    $ speak_text("How are you feeling today?")

This function ensures that any text you call using speak_text("Your Dialogue Here") will be automatically read aloud by the TTS system, including choices and other menu text.

4. Ensure Proper Dialogue and Menu Formatting

Some dialogues and menus might not be automatically picked up by the TTS system. You can manually force the TTS to read specific text by using the window hide and window show commands. This can be useful for cases where text is displayed outside of the usual dialogue flow (e.g., in quick menus).

Example with window hide and TTS for Menus and Choices:

r

label start:

    window hide

    e "Welcome to the hotel! This text will be read aloud by TTS."

    window show

    

    menu:

        "How are you feeling today?":

            window hide

            "Good":

                $ speak_choice("Good")  # This choice will trigger TTS

                e "That's great to hear!"

            "Not so good":

                $ speak_choice("Not so good")  # This choice will trigger TTS

                e "I'm sorry to hear that."

            window show

Using window hide ensures that the TTS system can handle the text properly.

5. Test for SAPI Compatibility

Ensure that the Windows TTS engine is functioning properly. Sometimes issues can arise if there are missing or outdated voices on the system. It’s a good idea to check that the necessary voices (e.g., Microsoft David, Zira, etc.) are installed and working properly.

You can test the functionality of Windows TTS outside the game (e.g., using Notepad) to confirm that the issue is not related to TTS itself.

Conclusion:

To address the issue with self-voicing, I would suggest ensuring that all dialogues, choices, and menus are properly linked to the TTS system. This can be done by ensuring the correct configuration of voices in the Ren'Py script and using global functions to enforce TTS for all text in the game.

Please let me know if you need any additional information or clarification. I would be happy to assist further if needed.

Very long article, it might be better suited to Discord. Developers gather there more than here.

Good points nevertheless. I have not seen the source code of HH, so I do not know how self voicing is used there. I guess proofreaders and translators need to be made aware of this so they check also correct markings for self voicing.

I play on Linux, the self voicing works, I have mistakenly turned it on a few times. I have assumed it is always the same voice, maybe that TTS only works on Windows?

(-1)

on windows they use sapy voices that are built into windows, I haven't used linux so I'm not sure how much I would read there but maybe I'll try that.

My man, don't use ChatGPT to write comments for you. And if you do, proof read it first. "In game [Game Name]"? Come on. ChatGPT is suggesting things that would take years to complete if I solely focused on it. 

In any case, I have never touched the TTS as it is something Ren'py handles and is automatic. As far as I am aware, I can't do anything to the TTS except disable it.

a couple of games are written in the same programming language, for example Secret Island, it uses everything the same but on it all the elements are visible to the automatic reader that is in the program, while in the harem hotel game one part is reviewed and the other is not, I really like this type of games and there are not many of them that are good and need to be updated, chat gpt did help me partially but only because English is not my primary language.

I see. I'm not sure why this is happening for you, or if it is an issue with the game entirely. 

Are you asking for it to be fixed because you prefer TTS or because you need to play because you are visually impaired?

(+1)

I'm blind that's why I'm most interested if tts can be fixed, because a lot of things are not read, for example to me when choosing in some dialogue, and such things, the game is very good, I can say that because I played until part while tts could read certain things

(+3)

I see, I've been getting a lot of requests from visually impaired people to address errors in the TTS. I'm quite behind on work at the moment, but if I have some spare time it will be something I look into. Thanks for the report!

No está en español

(+2)(-1)

Are you claiming this game is not translated to spanish?

Why such a statement? There is spanish available in the Options menu.

Perhaps you meant to say this about some other game and mistakenly wrote in Harem Hotel channel?

(-3)

Please add respite,thanks

(+1)(-1)

What kind of respite are you asking for? Be more specific.

In Harem Hotel, there will always be a cycle of drama and slice of life. Some character's stories are involved with drama in v0.19, while others are going on dates.

I love Runey's cast of characters. I love a good story with my adult games. You can make an entire happy game but to keep people interested you need an obstacle for characters to overcome to make themselves better. If there is no conflict, then the player just hurries through the game. Add an issue the characters need to work out and you make the player involved. That is called character growth.

Im stuck at moon 4/12... the quest doesnt seem to popup to me. anyone have any idea how to progress
