How do you best make money in this game? I need 10K Syls to free the thee elf slaves, but I burned my Trenaro money upgrading my Hotel and Android (aka Robo C*nt).
I can pull about $100/day with rent and pinups.
The bar pulls about $200/week
Do I need to upgrade the bar so it can make more money? I dont advertise much.
At this rate, it will take me over 4hrs of repetitive gameplay to got the ~8k syls I need to continue in the story.
Money is mostly passive in this game. It's extremely rare that I hear anyone have financial issues in Harem Hotel. In most cases of feedback I've received, players end the current story at around $4k - $7k extra.
It's likely that you waited a very long time before you purchased and upgraded the bar, which becomes your main source of income later in the game.
For active sources of income, you can sell pinups, which will make in a day what your other sources of income will make in a week.
Thanks dude! Consider this for any future balancing. Maybe give more incentive to start the bar sooner... have Ellen push MC more. Just a thought. The way I like to play gated/progression games is to finish the current "tier" before moving on. So, YES, I did wait... I assumed some stories may be broken/wonky if I progressed some further than others (which still happens, Android made a cameo on another girls quest-line when she was locked in her room, "splitting" and Maria just made a cameo when she is currently... MIA, in my game (no spoilers).).
i have the same problem, the game just close but if i enable the "Use Legacy Version" on Joiplay Settings > Ren'Py Settings, i can get to menu and got error report when loading saves but can play if i click "ignore", i havent tried to play for long thought
Have you considered doing lite versions? That is where it only has the changed files. So you need to have V0.13 but then there is a smaller set of files for download.
That was the focus of the 0.13.2 patch; Runey wants to make a simple update installer, but it's not at all simple. He's said before it will likely be ready in time for 0.14.
last time i looked on Patreon, there was nothing regarding the empty room on the 2nd floor (next to autumn...) hope this gets filled in the next update or 2 at most!!
Such an amazing game, one of the best NSFW VN's out there PERIOD. Honestly, it's got more quality and content than some fully completed VN's with only a TENTH of the predicted content. The time between updates is only frustrating because I'm impatiently waiting to see what you do with the world you're making because clearly there are going to be big events to come that radically alter the society in-game.
The only thing keeping me from going mad about Harem Hotel is that with each update, you *know* you'll get a sizeable addition of content that will definitely be of high quality.
Love this game, solid sexy times, great characters, and story that's ranged from humorous to making me have to stop and wait so I don't risk tearing up. Seriously, A+ work.
This is by far one of my favorite VN. I was very surprised by the story. I got swept up in the surprising political natures and enjoyed every second of developing relationships and helping the elves. 10 outta 10 cant wait for more!
No no the game says if you increase tha value you didn't experience the story so I just increase the money not the value , maybe 🤔 I just continue Lin story too much , I have to play with all the characters with same amount I guess ☹️ , so I have start with new game it's good because I love this game toooo much so I don't mind play it from the start 😋🤤
There's only one other possibility with this error other than cheats, and that's loading a save into a prior version, say, 0.13 or one of its betas or prereleases into 0.12 or earlier. The error explains it all; "Friendship is too high". Friendship is a direct counter to story events. There is no natural way to exceed the maximum for the version you play.
Yeah , 1st they say if you continue her story you need to increase Lin's friendship but after increase Lin's friendship now they say friendship is too high ☹️😑😔 I don't know what happened
Patreon users currently have the same information non-users do. It's in planning. No information is paywalled, only unfinished beta versions, which are a fair ways off. https://www.patreon.com/posts/news-plans-55852688
Edit: oh, looks like two days after making this comment there's now one piece of paywalled news xD So I guess it's "very rarely" paywalled, only for sneak peeks and whatnot.
And once the trait is gained, unless it leads to the gaining of another trait, no need to repeat it... (I'm thinking sex leading to internal and external ejaculations, the "finish" being counted as 2 different traits)
Pretty good game over all. Plenty to do. Gets to the action quick enough and keeps it going for quite a while. I love the body variety in the girls. It's not just all DD+ boob sizes and they're not all the same height!
My biggest complaint is that there are no sounds. It would be nice to at least have some smacking sound for the spankings.
The only characters that have a "bad" path are Nia and Sylvia with their slave routes. Creating a dark route for the whole game would double the work. That is also not a story I want to tell.
From what I recall of other times this was asked, it's clear the itch.io app has strange download issues. Runey is not itch.io's dev though, he can't fix that. I do recall him and/or others suggesting simply using the website itself, which works fine. Patreon links are also an option.
Hey I'm trying to play the game on joiplay and I get this error. Tried using many different versions of joiplay all of em give this error. What am I doing wrong?
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I'm guessing the "minuses" (downvotes) come from the fact your main complaint is an issue with JoiPlay's UI, which you are raising with the creator and community of just one game played on it, instead of JoiPlay's developers. As for the "lack of an official apk" part, please read the first sentence of the download section. If you have a way to compress nearly 80gB down below 2gB without noticeable quality loss, please let us know, as that's impossible.
I did not complain about the lack of an official APK, because I wrote about it earlier, so there is absolutely no need to point out the instructions to me.
And about the community of one game: I indicated above that I had already write to the author (because this problem is clearly visible here because of the choice of UI in the game settings) and asked for support so that someone would also respond and also write to him.
The last sentence of the very comment I replied to has you complaining about no apk. Also, yeah dude, I read your comment, but saying you "wrote to" the JoiPlay devs doesn't explain why you decided to make the exact same complaint to, again, *the developer of just one game that runs on JoiPlay*. Runey is not a dev for JoiPlay. He can't help you. He develops Harem Hotel. That's like complaining to the McDonalds cashier that their burgers are disgusting. The cashier doesn't make them.
I’ve always been used to answering point-by-point. So…
First of all, I didn’t complain about the lack of an APK version. There is a difference between it and stating the fact that there is no alternative (at the moment) to playing on mobile devices, in the form of using this emulator. We have a saying in our country: “I’m talking about potatoes, and you say give me some of them.” I wanted to draw attention to the fact that that program is well-known, and that mobile players use it mainly. And I personally accepted the rejection of the mobile version already when only the respected Runey wrote about it in Discord.
Secondly, a complaint and feedback are also slightly different things. I have always treated Runey with respect, as a single work of this scale is admirable. But it also collects reviews with errors. And what I decided to do: I saw a minor problem, roughly found the original source and what it is related to, pointed out to both authors (the emulator and the game) and asked for support from the game community, since the author of Joiplay is generally silent.
Third, “He can’t help you.” It’s good, but it’s not good to check for him and decide for him, too. I asked you to pay attention, and, if possible, try to do something if there is a desire (this is all about that line - or for someone to comment on why it is not needed, or there would be an alternative to it, I can’t say).
Fourth, the comparison is quite good, I laughed. But I didn’t complain about the taste of the burger, I just pointed out that they forgot to add the salad. Feedback - there is not always a complaint or whining.
I will not continue the polemic further, it is useless to cling to each other’s words. It would be better to have something about the problems. If someone sees this, responds to author of game, because one person was ignored; he will suddenly correct the situation - and it will be generally good. There is a way to solve the problem - good. There will be one less problem in the world. Can’t solve the problem - that’s okay. Love for the game will not diminish.
Perhaps the meaning of some of my phrases is distorted by the translator, but did not want to offend anyone.
That’s something like that.
My theory is that the "minuses" come from the fact that there is wild kiddo running amok minusing everything he sees. Just look at the comments, its ridiculous. its like someone wrote a downvote bot.
That one riddle girl is asking a question and idk the answer and i think its holding me back cuz i cant get the android to friendship level 26 what do i do
Kate's events and riddles are unrelated to Android. For the solution, remember the four letters you gave in her four riddle sets. Enter them and she'll give you a big hint, aka how they're arranged. She did specifically say in the last set that you've gained knowledge that would lead to a reward very soon, after all.
Right then, just seeking a direct spoiler for some fun riddles, that's fine. Itch.io doesn't seem to have a spoiler text thing so I'll just drop some lines so it has to be clicked on at least.

vore
Like I said, each letter from each set. That's E - R - O - V. Enter them and she says "You're looking at things backwards". Enter them backwards, "vore". She'll explain immediately why she chose that word.
that would be cool... but lets see... we don't even have any news regarding the last room on the 2nd floor yet. (next door to autumn and directly above maria)
I have an idea: the F&E shower scene. If one of them takes a shower, when entering the room it will show: F is taking a shower and E is in the room and vice versa, I think this way is more suitable
I love the game but when I downloaded version 13.2 and tried to unzip the folder it gave me an error and I tried deleting the folder and reinstall it but still the same error
This game is so good. After completing all the main stories, the message you give is so genuine and heartwarming. You're an amazing creator, Runey, and I can't wait to see how everyone's stories develop even further. Keep up the great work! <3
Runey this game is amazing, but im blocked in Felicity&Emma ashley event so i can't continue with the story (it require increase the ashley friendship,but i have already the friendship at Max)
At one point in the story, it's required for Ashley's and F&E's friendships to be at a certain number. This event is the vacation in the snowy cabin event. If you went passed that then you encountered a bug, or adjusted the values somehow. I don't know how this could be happening, let me know if you find out why.
Omg Runey this is amazing. I wasn't sure if I should give it a try but I am so glad that I did. I loved the emotions through the game, really well done with the scenery and the atmosphere. You'll be the first and (prop) only dev here that I'll support. Pls keep up this amazing project!!

How do you best make money in this game? I need 10K Syls to free the thee elf slaves, but I burned my Trenaro money upgrading my Hotel and Android (aka Robo C*nt).
I can pull about $100/day with rent and pinups.

Do I need to upgrade the bar so it can make more money? I dont advertise much.
At this rate, it will take me over 4hrs of repetitive gameplay to got the ~8k syls I need to continue in the story.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Maybe I will shelve this until the next update.
Such a great game; so much fun!
yea, Ive seen that when I google searched the topic... but I would rather not cheat. Thank you though!
As it is now, this seems to be a major gate/grind that I hope is balanced-out.
Fair enough...
Money is mostly passive in this game. It's extremely rare that I hear anyone have financial issues in Harem Hotel. In most cases of feedback I've received, players end the current story at around $4k - $7k extra.
It's likely that you waited a very long time before you purchased and upgraded the bar, which becomes your main source of income later in the game.
For active sources of income, you can sell pinups, which will make in a day what your other sources of income will make in a week.

The way I like to play gated/progression games is to finish the current "tier" before moving on. So, YES, I did wait... I assumed some stories may be broken/wonky if I progressed some further than others (which still happens, Android made a cameo on another girls quest-line when she was locked in her room, "splitting" and Maria just made a cameo when she is currently... MIA, in my game (no spoilers).).
Lovin this game!
If you could let me know at which friendships these events happened on and for which character, I will be able to fix those bugs.
Please do not share patron only codes.
Is it just me or is 13.2 not working on phones, I did everything properly but when i try to load it up it just closes instantly
I'm not sure why it's not working for you, but it is working for most.
would you be able to explain the exact process from downloading to starting it up, just so I can be absolutely sure I haven't messed anything up
i have the same problem, the game just close
but if i enable the "Use Legacy Version" on Joiplay Settings > Ren'Py Settings, i can get to menu and got error report when loading saves but can play if i click "ignore", i havent tried to play for long thought
I was about to ask if anyone knew about any other trustworthy emulators other than JP. Thanks for the advice, man.
thanks, this actually worked, any chance you'd also know where to put old saves?, I've looked and I can't seem to find a saves folder
maybe you have to create new save to make the folder to appear, or you can just drop the old saves folder to the new one
the same directory the .exe is in
I don't play Harem Hotel on phone, I can only trouble shooting the PC builds.
The Harem Hotel discord has a help section if you would like to ask there :)
Have you considered doing lite versions? That is where it only has the changed files. So you need to have V0.13 but then there is a smaller set of files for download.

I'm hoping it's Moon! *drools*
let's wait and see... whoever it is will get brought up to full trait stats PDQ

Damn this game for making me cry because of Lin, Maria, Ashley, and Britini (Android). lol.
This is by far one of my favorite VN. I was very surprised by the story. I got swept up in the surprising political natures and enjoyed every second of developing relationships and helping the elves. 10 outta 10 cant wait for more!
Thank you!
Game gave a warning ⚠️ that one or more girls friendship is way higher so you never continue any other's story plz load a old save file ????
What is the meaning of this plz anyone explain ???
is that mean I have to increase every character friendship not only one charecter ??? 🤔
It means you cheated or adjusted the values too much and broke the game.
No no the game says if you increase tha value you didn't experience the story so I just increase the money not the value , maybe 🤔 I just continue Lin story too much , I have to play with all the characters with same amount I guess ☹️ , so I have start with new game it's good because I love this game toooo much so I don't mind play it from the start 😋🤤

What's the song of chill city?
There should be song credits in the info screen.
So do we have any information on the next update available for non patreon users?? anticipating a good update.
Patreon users currently have the same information non-users do. It's in planning.
No information is paywalled, only unfinished beta versions, which are a fair ways off.
https://www.patreon.com/posts/news-plans-55852688
Edit: oh, looks like two days after making this comment there's now one piece of paywalled news xD So I guess it's "very rarely" paywalled, only for sneak peeks and whatnot.
Fair enough... I just hope Runey is working hard at it...
What is the max level that the stats of every character can reach? I thought it would be 100 but apparently it can go over that value.
Thats an interesting point... which stat and with whom did you push over 100??
There is no max. Stats count how many times you have done a thing.
And once the trait is gained, unless it leads to the gaining of another trait, no need to repeat it... (I'm thinking sex leading to internal and external ejaculations, the "finish" being counted as 2 different traits)
Having a slight issue with downloading the game file. Keeps stalling and failing at 7.1. Is there another option for downloading the mac version?
Yes, check my patreon.
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the "giving money to Felicia" path. It is what i've enjoyed the most in the game.
PS. Can you give my money to Felicia next time you see her? Kinda wasn't able to do it myself despite trying so hard. Ok? Thanks! Bye.
Great game, are there any plans to expand the dungeon content?
That would be awesome
You may now request fun at Ellen’s desk
Ellen's desk don't have that.
Do you have to progress with the story?
Yes
Pretty good game over all. Plenty to do. Gets to the action quick enough and keeps it going for quite a while. I love the body variety in the girls. It's not just all DD+ boob sizes and they're not all the same height!
My biggest complaint is that there are no sounds. It would be nice to at least have some smacking sound for the spankings.

Two Thumbs up!
how do I update on android without losing my progress? Im new sry
Download the new game file, move your save files over, delete the old game file.
Can you upload a game without the winer or 7zim file for android
For I can't manage to have 14gb free on my phone
Great game, been enjoying it for very long. Also make merch and I give kiss.
Thanks :)
same issue again, Cant donwload thru Itch client - says planning failed zip:not a valid zip file
but I do have 7zip installed and set as default for .zip extension.
The itch app doesn't work when trying to download.
Yes, but I was hoping for a fix.
From searching around, this looks like a common bug amongst the many games from different authors uploaded here on itch.io.
This is probably fixable, right?
Edit: I can see this error was asked before. I would suggest making faq of some sort.
From what I recall of other times this was asked, it's clear the itch.io app has strange download issues. Runey is not itch.io's dev though, he can't fix that.

I'm not sure why this is happening unfortunately. Hopefully someone else knows the answer.

just search for the riddle answer online..
but your progress with Katy should not affect android.
Kate's events and riddles are unrelated to Android.
For the solution, remember the four letters you gave in her four riddle sets. Enter them and she'll give you a big hint, aka how they're arranged. She did specifically say in the last set that you've gained knowledge that would lead to a reward very soon, after all.
what if i dont remember them

can we expect futa/trans content in the future?
that would be cool... but lets see... we don't even have any news regarding the last room on the 2nd floor yet. (next door to autumn and directly above maria)
I have an idea: the F&E shower scene. If one of them takes a shower, when entering the room it will show: F is taking a shower and E is in the room and vice versa, I think this way is more suitable
I love the game but when I downloaded version 13.2 and tried to unzip the folder it gave me an error and I tried deleting the folder and reinstall it but still the same error
What is the error? What if you are using it the wrong way to unzip it? No clue
Omg Runey, this is one of the best games I played. I LOVE the story, all the detalis.

I wanna try this game but I can't... I'm on PC but it won't let me install for some reason, something about it not being a valid zip file?
Use the itch.io website, not the app.
Did the codes change? Not able to get the spinningtv code to work in the last update. Keeps returning incorrect code.
