v0.19 has been complete, all that is left to do is fix all the bugs and polish it. I'll be adding music and remaking old content while the beta testers do their thing.
I am currently playing at mission 41 of Lin and i gonna say, she made me feel complete but the more i progressed, the story will be much less happy. It's really heavy as it supposed to be but i do wish to see more hope in the v0.19. Until then a very good with good character and story thank you so much for ur work
Each character goes through themed story arcs with breaks in between. This naturally means a build up, a peak, and a come-down. Lin in v0.18 and v0.19 is at the peak of her current story arc.
It's not uncommon for me to hear "There's too much drama right now, when will we get slice of life". But some seem to forget that they are actively witnessing me writing a story. We're not going to stay in the height of the current arc forever!
Don't worry though, catharsis is an important feeling for me.
v0.19 will most likely enter the Pre-Release phase tomorrow, if I finish this event I'm currently working on in time. This means v0.19 will be finished and play tested before it's available to everyone (to ensure there are no bugs and everyone likes the content). I will also be remaking the oldest events in better quality during this time.
The public release will always be available 12 days after the Pre-Release launches.
But where game progress info is stored? I have to download new version into same directory by replacing files? Or It stored somewhere in cache so i can download new version into separate folder and still keep my progress?
With Harem Hotel you never have to consider losing your saves. You can delete all of the game's files and resume your save years later if you would like. This is because saves are stored in %appdata%. So after updating, simply click "Continue"
i can't access the park or get any seeds for the garden on my playthrough. i imagine i'm supposed to click the ??? when in the residential area but it doesn't do anything. i have the garden set up with the plots open for plants, and i even had the greenhouse but i still can't get the park to show up. when i click "visit the ???" it just says "i should keep exploring" then takes me to old town. is there something i'm missing? is this because i didn't start a new game?
ah, i didn't revisit the bowling bar. i swear last time i tried it said i had hit the end of the content there. everything else in town says i reached the end of the content. i loaded back to try it out since i'm currently in the middle of an ashley event, and the bowling bar started a conversation with someone. so after this event i'm hoping doing that will open up the park.
i continued my save from v0.16.2 and i've completed just about everything from this update i've found besides the garden
Hey, Runey. Since v19 is close to being ready, did you ever manage to figure out that bug I mentioned? The one from Lin's lvl 13 level up event, where she triggers the "yes or no" anal prompt, and how if you say no it still gives her a point in it instead of perma-blocking it like the others. I would check elsewhere, but IDK if you have a discord or a known bugs list in said hypothetical discord. So I've checked here once in a while to see. Hope i'm not nagging you or anything, though. I can imagine a stream of "Hey! Listen! Remember that one bug I've told you about like 3 times now? and have been casually mentioning once every few months?" Is probably rather aggravating. (Bro I feel like Rani from Zelda, NGL) as a final note, good luck on the censorship war, I'm hoping we all get through this without too many hiccups
but IDK if you have a discord or a known bugs list in said hypothetical discord.
Link to Discord et al is at top of this page, under the Harem Hotel logo.
PATREON | DISCORD | TWITTER | WIKI / GUIDE
Unfortunately there is no known bugs list to my knowledge.
There has not been a new release of the game since you first mentioned that bug. It might have been fixed, those who are running the beta test versions would know.
Unfortunately the fight continues. They have still succeeded at cutting our funding on itch, and Patreon will be next. Once this happens, there will be no way for anyone to fund these projects and they will all die. So make your voice heard now!
Voices don't matter in the fight. It's already over, and you're right, Patreon is next. So what do you plan to do? Will you still complete the game, or will the project have to end? You've done a remarkable job, but of course we all have bills to pay. No matter what, of the AVN industry, HH is legend. If you do have to end it, my suggestion is to share your roadmap for what could have been, just post the rest of the story for your diehard fans so that everyone can get closure.
Voices absolutely do matter, but only when those voices are backed up by action. You are not a nobody with an inability to affect the world. All it takes it one seed to eventually plant a forest.
Most of us live in some form of a democracy, meaning the people have a certain amount of power to change the world they live in.
But here's the thing, Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal were not even aware this was happening. They repeat "Any legal content is totally fine by us." Meaning they don't actually mind that we make money. So what's going on? Collective Shout used those CEOs signatures to scare itch and steam.
So, the more of us make a stink about this and call those companies, the more annoyed they're going to be at Collective Shout for using their names to harm their own business. This only works if we tell them what's going on.
Anyway, I've been planning to release a SFW story only version of this game for years now. If that can support me, then it's easy to continue work on this version as well.
I'm a fan of the NSFW content (obviously) but I will support a SFW version if you have to go that route with my $. Great content, great story, great talent.
I don't disagree with you, but MasterCard and Visa (in particular) had been putting pressure on Japanese manga, anime and game producers ways before Collective Shout came around. It's important that people put pressure on them as well.... especially knowing how they were official partners of Roblox.
But I really love your game, so I support whatever decision you make to see it to completion.
Again I do not understand what you are asking. Communication is failing.
If the problem is english language, maybe using machine translation would help. For example Deepl translate is very useful (if your native language is among the 35 languages it can translate to and from). The link is deepl.com
If you have problems with installing the game, there are videos on Youtube on installing, Internet Search engines find several with search term
when is the next update? also I'm having a hard time continuing the Android's story. I cant continue Autumn's story till I raise Lin's relationship level and I cant raise Lin's relationship level till I raise the Android's relationship level. Ive been at this for MONTHS and nothing. plz help ive went every place I can go. Ive done every <talk> with them except for the ones locked by the fact I havent raised the Android's relationship level yet. ive tried but i dont know how. any help is appreciated
I cant continue Autumn’s story till I raise Lin’s relationship level and I cant raise Lin’s relationship level till I raise the Android’s relationship level. Ive been at this for MONTHS and nothing.
There is a point in the story like that. But it is not a deadlock, it is possible to get an event that allows continuing. Game tries to give hints on what to do next.
Continue with the girls that do have an event you can start, eventually you get to a point where you can continue with Android, Autumn and Lin.
If nothing helps, try reading the FAQ in the Wiki.
Keep it up it's hard to find a game like this with a great story eager to see how things will play out not gonna spoil anything but it gets better and better I've replayed several times
last version i played was 0.15 or so, tried to play some more in 0.17.2. but didnt finish that one.
every harem game is the same in concept, the player is exposed to emotional or psychological damage, repeatedly, but is incentivized to keep engaging with it in hopes of it paying off later with good scenes and a story. this game is no different.
i had a fun time with the game, outside of some events that happen because they hit too close to home so to speak. that is, until i encountered one specific part of the game, after which i played for a short while more and then stopped playing it because the game's developer demonstrated clearly enough what he thinks of anyone with specific beliefs who recognizes that despite having beliefs of their own, there are times when setting those beliefs aside has more value because something superordinate else is at risk.
fighting the power, so to speak, is what makes an rpg's story compelling, though it depends on what lenghts the developers go to, to establish said power. but this isnt an rpg, this is a harem game, and the “power” can be condensed down to the balding, fat, unkempt man shouting
“Make Sylanar Great Again”
sure, who wouldnt side with their harem of women over some balding fat -ist? problem is, i dont think thats what the developer is doing here. its an attempt at subversion of whoever it is that decides to play this game, an attempt to break the 4th wall. do you have any semblance of nationalism in you? are you proud of the history of those that came before you? their triumphs, downfalls, everything inbetween, and the fact that despite, or thanks to all that, your nation still exists, you are here, and alive?
congratulations! you are exactly the same as that balding fat guy!
a balding and fat counter-protester is used as a strawman to represent anyone who recognizes nuance. the world that this developer constructed is half-fantasy and half-inversion of the world we live in. the caucasians in this game (whites) are a mix of how a muslim and an african would behave toward a female slave. all the while they are portrayed as rampant ists that may or may not shout make america whoops sorry that slipped in there, lemme try again, make sylanar great again.
the player engages in rebuilding a nationalism movement for elves, trying to convince all sides that elves have learned from their past mistakes and that their race should be preserved, that their culture, beliefs and the like are worth preserving. its curious then, that the very similar real-life movement that is about nationalism resurgence, persevering of a race's culture and restoring its own belief in itself, is inverted in this game. from maga to msga.
this is the only time when i will offer you, the developer, what you havent offered me, the anonymous player of your work. a nuanced approach. i would appeal you to rethink the mockery you added to the game which is otherwise fine, but, chances are you really like what you've done there.
Harem Hotel speaks about a lot of political issues. Slavery and freedom from it is a big theme after all. Kali's Dad is a mayor, Autumn's dad is a Minister, Lin is a slave, you as the player are an immigrant, and someone else's father is planning to run for the President of Syl'anar. (spoilers though, won't say who, but he's also an immigrant)
Honestly I think it would be quite hard to goon to this game considering how story dense it is. That's one long edge sesh.
I understand that, I just found it funny how US conservatives are always spitting their agenda in every way possible. It's insane how the dude thought this up while (possibly) gooning to a 18+ harem game. The story is great BTW and I've been playing it for like 2 years at this point. I never expected this from an 18+ game, but props to you, Runey, no other game on this platform even comes close.
And what's wrong with long edging sessions? Some people are into it. 😏
Wait, the last time you played HH was over a year or two ago and you're only commenting now?
Anyway, I will only address two points for now until I know you are willing to have a discussion about intentions and what you misunderstood. If you believe you are ultimately and objectively correct, well, you've already stated your perspective. That's all that needs to be said.
But since you commented this, I'm assuming you're open to a discussion.
1. You called someone whose only character is to support slavery, be a bigot, and someone for everyone to laugh at, as being the only person who recognizes nuance. You're basically watching Herbet from Family Guy and saying "Well he's the only person with a nuanced perspective on pedophilia." No, these are bad people with bad beliefs used for comic relief. If you truly relate to the ideals of the characters I've written to be horrible people, you may need to do some reflection. Just my opinion though.
The "Caucasians" (specifically the colonists, who were not all white by the way) of this game took direct inspiration from the colonists of america, australia, and south africa. Colonists in HH are acting like colonists in the real world. They are not "Acting like muslims or africans"
2. The protagonists are not supporting a nationalist party of elves. The nationalist movement of elves would be the High Elves, who hold the same beliefs of these colonists, but for elves. Elvish superiority over human superiority. The thing is, they're also your enemy. They're also the bad guys. They would enslave humans if they could. Nia even started with some idea that humans are lesser beings because of what they did to her, but after getting to know you, she adopts Lin's ideals of equality and equity over ultra-nationalism. Lin doesn't even believe borders should exist. So how you got to the conclusion that the player and the harem are supporting an elvish nationalist movement really boggles my mind. There are no "past mistakes of the elves." They didn't do much except defend themselves from invaders (colonists). But look, if you're just a patriot, and you enjoy your community and its people, that's awesome! That's not nationalism though.
Elves are also not a race of humanity. You can think of them sort of as we see homo-erectus or neanderthals. Elves would be homo-sylius. A separate but equal genome of the homo genus with enough differences to be considered separate species. Humans (not just "caucasians") are doing the same to elves as humans did to neanderthals. Kill, rape, merge. (This isn't shown in game, but is implied to have happened)
I am not breaking the 4th wall by criticizing ultra-nationalism, that's not what that means, by definition. You've essentially stated that because Bob's Burgers has burgers in it, it broke the 4th wall. Both things can exist in fiction and reality. The purpose of the criticism of ultra-nationalism is to make you think and possibly offer you a different perspective.
World history and geopolitics are massive interests of mine and it shows in game. The idea of a "nation" only took prominent hold in our world because of Germany in WW1 (A precursor being Napleon's French Empire.) Nationalism is a very new ideology and one I critique a lot, but specifically ultra-nationalism. In short they promoted the idea that specific people belong to their nation over the idea of a community of people working together, and that the people who do not belong to the nation should leave so that there are more opportunities for the nation's people. In Harem Hotel, this means working elves until they're dead and extinct, even though it was their land to begin with.
(I'm leaving a lot of nuance out in these comments for the sake of simplicity and time)
But no, I will not apologize for making fun of bigots and anyone who supports slavery. I will continue to mock and laugh at fascists because its the least they deserve.
I even run a Cornwall parody twitter account, which mocks Trump. It's the funniest shit ever.
But ultimately your protag does support the Nationalist party of elves in way. By giving it an advantage by weakening humanity's biggest advantage a unified front/opposition. Not to mention the protag gets screwed when you get down to what his faction actually wants. They want the elves to have everything and for the human immigrants/colonizers to be gone. If this happens your protag also is affected. He would loose the Hotel as well as his spot on said island when things are said and done. Something your side of the aisle never seems to think about. The whole slavery thing is bad and I disagree with it that would be my republican side coming out(Also fun fact it was republicans who ended slavery dems wanted to keep it).However pulling a socialist move and saying you own nothing were going to give it to the elves solves nothing. Your protags faction seems to be leaning the socialist route of having the goverment come in and solve the problem(This never works no one is happy and the goverment is the only one who wins) My response to the whole thing would have been a funny nod to my favorite Warhammer faction but not feeling it now. Also no nekos,no dog or wolf girls ultimately not my thing also why on earth would anyone discuss politics on this site? We go to x or somewhere else for that I go here to escape that shit. Thanks for bringing the politics nonsense into something that was an escape typical fucking leftist.
Dude why the long rant seriously your giving us conservatives a bad name. Leave the ranting to the libs we point and laugh we don't go on rants like this brother. Besides games like this are for gooning and occasionally if its well done we take a trip on the feels train. When the developer tries to take us down the politics route we do not engage. Think like an honorable chatter brother we do not go into none political areas and add politics leave that toi the crying and clout chasing libs.
I need some help downloading the game, I go as far as clicking the + on joiplay and getting to the picture, I've tried 10 times, 9 times joiplay crashed, and the one time it didn't absolutely nothing popped up on the joiplay plugin, or on my phone, joiplay closed and took me back to RAR with me still unable to play the game , what am I doing wrong?
Hard to say. I have not used v0.19 yet since it is not published. It is a beta version now, so may have game breaking bugs that prevent some events from happening.
Anyway, if you have access to unreleased beta versions, you can access beta channel on Discord where you can ask about beta version issues and bugs.
Been following this game for so long now and when there an new update i always reply the entire game that's how much i enjoy this masterpiece, hoping for the new update coming out soon.
Hey Runey, I hope that you and your people are doing well. This might be a personal question so feel free not to answer, but I am curious as to which other game(s) besides this masterpiece, you enjoy or like? <3
I'm not Runey, but I can suggest Mythic Manor, Dark Magic and Lucky's Paradox. All are HS based 3DCG VNs, with good scenes and story (not as good as HH ofc, but they come close).
I have played Mythic Manor mobile edition once, but I had to delete it due to it taking too much space, fast forward 2-1/2 years and I got myself a good pc. Yet, I am unable to download it directly from the Itch.io for some reason, but on the Itch.io web I can, though I haven't installed it thus far. As for the other games you mentioned, I gave Lucky Paradox a try (I uninstalled it, although I forgot the reason why ), but I have not played Dark Magic. Upon closer inspection, the game seems to be quit good, and sorry for dragging you through all of these words. Thanks for the suggestion and response (;
Nah, it's fine. I don't have a 5 second gen-z attention span. xD
I suggest you to look for custom ports of MM. The version I have installed is about 3GB.
There are also non-3D, fairly popular (and a common pick in suggestion comments), but still good games.
Summertime Saga, Aurelia (absolutely stunning pixel art, not 8 bit), Four Elements Trainer (based on Avatar cartoon), Knightly Passions, Game of Whores (Game of Thrones obviously), Innocent Witches (Harry Potter universe), Sex Note (a parody of Death Note's premise).
Then there's also Akabur with his Princess Trainer (Alladin) and Witch Trainer Silver (Harry Potter universe again, Silver is a modded version).
And ofc Star Channel 34.
There's also Witch Hunter (based on W.I.T.C.H cartoon).
Sorry if you know all these and I wasn't able to uncovered something new.
Heh I know most of them , but not Akabur, Witch Trainer Silver, Star Channel 34, so I will be checking those out. Man do you have great tastes, and don't worry about it, I appreciate any info or reminders of my other lost games. Godspeed, brother!
I was really surprised by this game. Dev is only at v 0.19 and there's already so much enjoyable content. Often when you see game this big in scope, they have issues with feature creep, but here all the different elements work and are fun. Aside from some continuity issues and some small bugs, this game is definitely worth paying for, even at this early stage. This is one of my top H games ever. And the dev isn't even done yet!
Runey one of the few devs that hasn't gone for ai and is still cooking still rooting for ya runey but plz help me where's the current updated link to buy harem hotel and access patreon the links die on me but still best wishes for ya
thanks I meant to get into it I did the $10 one for now and as soon be released one that's still in the making is nice there's a few typos here in there on the wording besides from that I haven't had any issues it was great
The beta version does have cheat codes. You get to know them by subscribing on Patreon to the game and paying the monthly fee. Those codes should not be revealed here or anywhere else, they are only for subscribers.
The Wiki has wiki/Codes page that has some cheat codes.
Adding on to this, the cheat codes have recently leaked so they were changed. Leaked cheat codes will always be changed instantly. But if you're a supporter playing the latest beta build and looking for the cheat codes, they can be found on discord at the moment.
1) Writing is amazing. In fact, it's so great, that I just want to read the dialogues and sex scenes are not the main focus for me at times. All the characters so different and well written, even the side ones. And the world itself is super interesting.
2) Amount of CGs is great. Attention to details too. I love city ones! Last time I played a couple of years ago, there was no city or garden.
3) Doesn't need much grinding.
If I had to mention something I don't like.
I guess all my problems are a matter of personal preference, not a real criticism.
1) Vending machine in the lobby is useless. Or maybe I don't know what it does.
2) Ashley. If I had to choose, I'd say that she is my least favourite character in the main cast. At times I straight up hate her and avoid dealing with her. I know it's intentional, but her obsession with main character is creepy and he doesn't care?? She straight up rapes him and he's like: "Okay, cool." She constantly mentions that she wants to have kids right now.
Main character is a good guy, but from how I see it, he uses sex to manipulate emotionally vulnerable girls. Maybe it's intentional, maybe not. It's especially noticeable in case of Ashley. She's super unstable and I know that he knows it.
But he still rewards her actions. That time she pulled a knife on Maria and both her and MC simply let it slide?? Maybe it's resolved in the future, maybe it's already resolved. Don't stick your dick in crazy tho!
3) Inconsistencies in the story. I don't know what triggers the Emma's & Felicity's arrival to the hotel but in Ashley's story at the college, characters act like they don't know each other, despite them already living in the hotel.
Which is weird because they got expulsed or suspended and had to move hotel AFTER their arrival.
Anyway, can't think of anything else.
Everything is pretty much is perfect other than that.
Runey, hey there! First of all, I'd like to thank you for the game. Playing for the first time I skipped huge part of the story and now I'm playing HH again without skipping any events. It feels great though I already know last events of v0.18.2, that's obviously an achievement of you as of storywriter. I also have a question for you: due to censorship in several countries, have you considered launching subscriptions on similar to patreon websites? Patreon is unavailable in my country as well as I'm not able to pay for the subscription with my card
And for those who isn't affected by that problem: Don't forget to sign the petition against censorship https://chng.it/LrD6ymp5SZ
Hey Runey how is it going? Uh I really don’t wanna be that guy I know how devs and even players hate it but… when will the next version be ready 😭 ALSO one more time, as loud as possible.. GIVE US AN OPTION TO MARRY LIN AND MY LIFE IS YOURSSSS.
Oh one other thing is I speak turkish, german and spanish, if you are looking for translators, I’d especially like to translate the game to turkish. I recommended Harem Hotel to many people before and some of them didn’t really go far because their english isn’t that good which is… okay I guess not everyone has the time to learn a second language sufficiently well - I’m not the one to judge. Since HH is my favorite in this genre and it has a huuuge lore and character building in it. I’m sure more language means wider audience and I’d be delighted to contribute to its success. Anyway I have some free time these days and I’d be happy to help if needed. I hope you are doing well keep up the work man love you
People, English is not my first language (I speak Spanish although that doesn't matter now since games are what keep us united), but seeing what's happening with censorship in games with NSFW content, which I find ridiculous, I ask you not to stay silent and to go complete this survey, it's super easy.
If that does not help, provide the exact error message text instead of “something like”. Also what you are trying to download, from where and on what platform.

v0.19 has been complete, all that is left to do is fix all the bugs and polish it. I'll be adding music and remaking old content while the beta testers do their thing.
Lets GOOO
I am so Hyped
I hope you don't have to fix too much bugs, i know what a huge struggle that can be.🤬🙏🏻
Love your work.
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Yaaaaasss
Letss gooo
Gonna be a long few days! Can't wait
I am currently playing at mission 41 of Lin and i gonna say, she made me feel complete but the more i progressed, the story will be much less happy. It's really heavy as it supposed to be but i do wish to see more hope in the v0.19. Until then a very good with good character and story thank you so much for ur work
Each character goes through themed story arcs with breaks in between. This naturally means a build up, a peak, and a come-down. Lin in v0.18 and v0.19 is at the peak of her current story arc.
It's not uncommon for me to hear "There's too much drama right now, when will we get slice of life". But some seem to forget that they are actively witnessing me writing a story. We're not going to stay in the height of the current arc forever!
Don't worry though, catharsis is an important feeling for me.
Is the next version ready and available on Patreon?
v0.19 will most likely enter the Pre-Release phase tomorrow, if I finish this event I'm currently working on in time. This means v0.19 will be finished and play tested before it's available to everyone (to ensure there are no bugs and everyone likes the content). I will also be remaking the oldest events in better quality during this time.
The public release will always be available 12 days after the Pre-Release launches.
Huzzah!
So pleased to hear this awesome news...
下一次更新有预计日期吗？
No, there is not.
Next version is published when it is ready.
There is 50+ hours of content in Harem Hotel as of v0.18.
Hello, is there a problem with installing the game via android? The download keeps stopping at 3 GB/12GB.
When downloads stop like that, it is usually related to your device. Do you have enough storage to install the game?
I decided to download the game on pc since i didnt have space for it
Is it possible to save game progress and migrate to a new version? Any guides?
Simply download the new version and click "Continue". There are no extra steps required unless you're using Android.
But where game progress info is stored? I have to download new version into same directory by replacing files? Or It stored somewhere in cache so i can download new version into separate folder and still keep my progress?
The FAQ in Discord has info on save file location by platform.
You do not have to do that. You can, and it may work.
It is not a cache, just a directory outside of the installation directory tree.
The Wiki has a FAQ page, which nobody seems to read.
Thanks, will join Discord
Hey Runey, will we have to create a whole new save or can we continue for v19
With Harem Hotel you never have to consider losing your saves. You can delete all of the game's files and resume your save years later if you would like. This is because saves are stored in %appdata%. So after updating, simply click "Continue"
i can't access the park or get any seeds for the garden on my playthrough. i imagine i'm supposed to click the ??? when in the residential area but it doesn't do anything. i have the garden set up with the plots open for plants, and i even had the greenhouse but i still can't get the park to show up. when i click "visit the ???" it just says "i should keep exploring" then takes me to old town. is there something i'm missing? is this because i didn't start a new game?
Visit Corpus Cafe and Bowling Alley.
New game after what? Did you just upgrade from 0.17 to 0.18? Or are you playing the beta version?
The game has Wiki with FAQ.
ah, i didn't revisit the bowling bar. i swear last time i tried it said i had hit the end of the content there. everything else in town says i reached the end of the content. i loaded back to try it out since i'm currently in the middle of an ashley event, and the bowling bar started a conversation with someone. so after this event i'm hoping doing that will open up the park.
i continued my save from v0.16.2 and i've completed just about everything from this update i've found besides the garden
Buenas hola alguien que me ayude a instalar el juego harem hotel
If you have problems with installing the game, there are videos on Youtube on installing, Internet Search engines find several with search term
site:youtube.com install Harem Hotel
Ya he buscado variaos instale joipay y otra apk mas me sale pero no carga
So you are installing on an Android phone or tablet?
The instructions above on this page at “How to play on Android” should work.
Try getting both Joiplay and RenPy plugin from joiplay website.
There is FAQ in the Wiki.
Discord channel has Help room, asking there may provide faster replies.
Hey, Runey. Since v19 is close to being ready, did you ever manage to figure out that bug I mentioned? The one from Lin's lvl 13 level up event, where she triggers the "yes or no" anal prompt, and how if you say no it still gives her a point in it instead of perma-blocking it like the others. I would check elsewhere, but IDK if you have a discord or a known bugs list in said hypothetical discord. So I've checked here once in a while to see. Hope i'm not nagging you or anything, though. I can imagine a stream of "Hey! Listen! Remember that one bug I've told you about like 3 times now? and have been casually mentioning once every few months?" Is probably rather aggravating. (Bro I feel like Rani from Zelda, NGL) as a final note, good luck on the censorship war, I'm hoping we all get through this without too many hiccups
Link to Discord et al is at top of this page, under the Harem Hotel logo.
PATREON | DISCORD | TWITTER | WIKI / GUIDE
Unfortunately there is no known bugs list to my knowledge.
There has not been a new release of the game since you first mentioned that bug. It might have been fixed, those who are running the beta test versions would know.
Thx Tale, u da best
I caught your message at a great time. Fixed!
Runey, I fucking love you bro
Is there a planned date for v0.19 to be released?
No.
This game can also be filed under the sandbox tag as it does give you a lot of freedom.
Guys I think we're winning!!!! nsfw games aren't delisted on itch anymore <3
https://itch.io/t/5149036/reindexing-adult-nsfw-content
Unfortunately the fight continues. They have still succeeded at cutting our funding on itch, and Patreon will be next. Once this happens, there will be no way for anyone to fund these projects and they will all die. So make your voice heard now!
Voices don't matter in the fight. It's already over, and you're right, Patreon is next. So what do you plan to do? Will you still complete the game, or will the project have to end? You've done a remarkable job, but of course we all have bills to pay. No matter what, of the AVN industry, HH is legend. If you do have to end it, my suggestion is to share your roadmap for what could have been, just post the rest of the story for your diehard fans so that everyone can get closure.
Voices absolutely do matter, but only when those voices are backed up by action. You are not a nobody with an inability to affect the world. All it takes it one seed to eventually plant a forest.
Most of us live in some form of a democracy, meaning the people have a certain amount of power to change the world they live in.
But here's the thing, Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal were not even aware this was happening. They repeat "Any legal content is totally fine by us." Meaning they don't actually mind that we make money. So what's going on? Collective Shout used those CEOs signatures to scare itch and steam.
So, the more of us make a stink about this and call those companies, the more annoyed they're going to be at Collective Shout for using their names to harm their own business. This only works if we tell them what's going on.
Anyway, I've been planning to release a SFW story only version of this game for years now. If that can support me, then it's easy to continue work on this version as well.
I'm a fan of the NSFW content (obviously) but I will support a SFW version if you have to go that route with my $. Great content, great story, great talent.
I don't disagree with you, but MasterCard and Visa (in particular) had been putting pressure on Japanese manga, anime and game producers ways before Collective Shout came around. It's important that people put pressure on them as well.... especially knowing how they were official partners of Roblox.
But I really love your game, so I support whatever decision you make to see it to completion.
That's a good point, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info.
Love you guys for making this game! It is SO GOOD! thank you
Thank you!
how to open sandbox
Again I do not understand what you are asking. Communication is failing.
If the problem is english language, maybe using machine translation would help. For example Deepl translate is very useful (if your native language is among the 35 languages it can translate to and from). The link is deepl.com
If you have problems with installing the game, there are videos on Youtube on installing, Internet Search engines find several with search term
site:youtube.com install Harem Hotel
when is the next update? also I'm having a hard time continuing the Android's story. I cant continue Autumn's story till I raise Lin's relationship level and I cant raise Lin's relationship level till I raise the Android's relationship level. Ive been at this for MONTHS and nothing. plz help ive went every place I can go. Ive done every <talk> with them except for the ones locked by the fact I havent raised the Android's relationship level yet. ive tried but i dont know how. any help is appreciated
When it is ready.
There is a point in the story like that. But it is not a deadlock, it is possible to get an event that allows continuing. Game tries to give hints on what to do next.
Continue with the girls that do have an event you can start, eventually you get to a point where you can continue with Android, Autumn and Lin.
If nothing helps, try reading the FAQ in the Wiki.
thank you
Dang it's been way longer than I realized love the story so far but certain parts still left off where they were a year or so ago
v0.19 is 95% done.
Keep it up it's hard to find a game like this with a great story eager to see how things will play out not gonna spoil anything but it gets better and better I've replayed several times
Thank you!
18.2 full scence?
What is scence? Or rather, I understand “full” but what is “scence”?
Version 18.2 is the latest released version, and it is available for free from the Download button above.
thank you ,but I don’t know much words English
last version i played was 0.15 or so, tried to play some more in 0.17.2. but didnt finish that one.
every harem game is the same in concept, the player is exposed to emotional or psychological damage, repeatedly, but is incentivized to keep engaging with it in hopes of it paying off later with good scenes and a story. this game is no different.
i had a fun time with the game, outside of some events that happen because they hit too close to home so to speak. that is, until i encountered one specific part of the game, after which i played for a short while more and then stopped playing it because the game's developer demonstrated clearly enough what he thinks of anyone
with specific beliefswho recognizes that despite having beliefs of their own, there are times when setting those beliefs aside has more value because something superordinate else is at risk.fighting the power, so to speak, is what makes an rpg's story compelling, though it depends on what lenghts the developers go to, to establish said power. but this isnt an rpg, this is a harem game, and the “power” can be condensed down to the balding, fat, unkempt man shouting
“Make Sylanar Great Again”
sure, who wouldnt side with their harem of women over some balding fat -ist? problem is, i dont think thats what the developer is doing here. its an attempt at subversion of whoever it is that decides to play this game, an attempt to break the 4th wall. do you have any semblance of nationalism in you? are you proud of the history of those that came before you? their triumphs, downfalls, everything inbetween, and the fact that despite, or thanks to all that, your nation still exists, you are here, and alive?
congratulations! you are exactly the same as that balding fat guy!
a balding and fat counter-protester is used as a strawman to represent anyone who recognizes nuance. the world that this developer constructed is half-fantasy and half-inversion of the world we live in. the caucasians in this game (whites) are a mix of how a muslim and an african would behave toward a female slave. all the while they are portrayed as rampant ists that may or may not shout make
americawhoops sorry that slipped in there, lemme try again, make sylanar great again.the player engages in rebuilding a nationalism movement for elves, trying to convince all sides that elves have learned from their past mistakes and that their race should be preserved, that their culture, beliefs and the like are worth preserving. its curious then, that the very similar real-life movement that is about nationalism resurgence, persevering of a race's culture and restoring its own belief in itself, is inverted in this game. from maga to msga.
this is the only time when i will offer you, the developer, what you havent offered me, the anonymous player of your work. a nuanced approach. i would appeal you to rethink the mockery you added to the game which is otherwise fine, but, chances are you really like what you've done there.
🤡
dude.. get out of here with your political brainrot
dude thinks about politics while gooning lmao
Harem Hotel speaks about a lot of political issues. Slavery and freedom from it is a big theme after all. Kali's Dad is a mayor, Autumn's dad is a Minister, Lin is a slave, you as the player are an immigrant, and someone else's father is planning to run for the President of Syl'anar. (spoilers though, won't say who, but he's also an immigrant)
Honestly I think it would be quite hard to goon to this game considering how story dense it is. That's one long edge sesh.
Yes, why goon when you can just be titillated whilst enjoying the story? Lol~
I understand that, I just found it funny how US conservatives are always spitting their agenda in every way possible. It's insane how the dude thought this up while (possibly) gooning to a 18+ harem game. The story is great BTW and I've been playing it for like 2 years at this point. I never expected this from an 18+ game, but props to you, Runey, no other game on this platform even comes close.
And what's wrong with long edging sessions? Some people are into it. 😏
Wait, the last time you played HH was over a year or two ago and you're only commenting now?
Anyway, I will only address two points for now until I know you are willing to have a discussion about intentions and what you misunderstood. If you believe you are ultimately and objectively correct, well, you've already stated your perspective. That's all that needs to be said.
But since you commented this, I'm assuming you're open to a discussion.
1. You called someone whose only character is to support slavery, be a bigot, and someone for everyone to laugh at, as being the only person who recognizes nuance. You're basically watching Herbet from Family Guy and saying "Well he's the only person with a nuanced perspective on pedophilia." No, these are bad people with bad beliefs used for comic relief. If you truly relate to the ideals of the characters I've written to be horrible people, you may need to do some reflection. Just my opinion though.
The "Caucasians" (specifically the colonists, who were not all white by the way) of this game took direct inspiration from the colonists of america, australia, and south africa. Colonists in HH are acting like colonists in the real world. They are not "Acting like muslims or africans"
2. The protagonists are not supporting a nationalist party of elves. The nationalist movement of elves would be the High Elves, who hold the same beliefs of these colonists, but for elves. Elvish superiority over human superiority. The thing is, they're also your enemy. They're also the bad guys. They would enslave humans if they could. Nia even started with some idea that humans are lesser beings because of what they did to her, but after getting to know you, she adopts Lin's ideals of equality and equity over ultra-nationalism. Lin doesn't even believe borders should exist. So how you got to the conclusion that the player and the harem are supporting an elvish nationalist movement really boggles my mind. There are no "past mistakes of the elves." They didn't do much except defend themselves from invaders (colonists). But look, if you're just a patriot, and you enjoy your community and its people, that's awesome! That's not nationalism though.
Elves are also not a race of humanity. You can think of them sort of as we see homo-erectus or neanderthals. Elves would be homo-sylius. A separate but equal genome of the homo genus with enough differences to be considered separate species. Humans (not just "caucasians") are doing the same to elves as humans did to neanderthals. Kill, rape, merge. (This isn't shown in game, but is implied to have happened)
I am not breaking the 4th wall by criticizing ultra-nationalism, that's not what that means, by definition. You've essentially stated that because Bob's Burgers has burgers in it, it broke the 4th wall. Both things can exist in fiction and reality. The purpose of the criticism of ultra-nationalism is to make you think and possibly offer you a different perspective.
World history and geopolitics are massive interests of mine and it shows in game. The idea of a "nation" only took prominent hold in our world because of Germany in WW1 (A precursor being Napleon's French Empire.) Nationalism is a very new ideology and one I critique a lot, but specifically ultra-nationalism. In short they promoted the idea that specific people belong to their nation over the idea of a community of people working together, and that the people who do not belong to the nation should leave so that there are more opportunities for the nation's people. In Harem Hotel, this means working elves until they're dead and extinct, even though it was their land to begin with.
(I'm leaving a lot of nuance out in these comments for the sake of simplicity and time)
But no, I will not apologize for making fun of bigots and anyone who supports slavery. I will continue to mock and laugh at fascists because its the least they deserve.
I even run a Cornwall parody twitter account, which mocks Trump. It's the funniest shit ever.
GET HIS ASS, RUNEY, GET HIS ASS XD
But ultimately your protag does support the Nationalist party of elves in way. By giving it an advantage by weakening humanity's biggest advantage a unified front/opposition. Not to mention the protag gets screwed when you get down to what his faction actually wants. They want the elves to have everything and for the human immigrants/colonizers to be gone. If this happens your protag also is affected. He would loose the Hotel as well as his spot on said island when things are said and done. Something your side of the aisle never seems to think about. The whole slavery thing is bad and I disagree with it that would be my republican side coming out(Also fun fact it was republicans who ended slavery dems wanted to keep it).However pulling a socialist move and saying you own nothing were going to give it to the elves solves nothing. Your protags faction seems to be leaning the socialist route of having the goverment come in and solve the problem(This never works no one is happy and the goverment is the only one who wins) My response to the whole thing would have been a funny nod to my favorite Warhammer faction but not feeling it now. Also no nekos,no dog or wolf girls ultimately not my thing also why on earth would anyone discuss politics on this site? We go to x or somewhere else for that I go here to escape that shit. Thanks for bringing the politics nonsense into something that was an escape typical fucking leftist.
Many words, my head hurts reading them all...
Dude why the long rant seriously your giving us conservatives a bad name. Leave the ranting to the libs we point and laugh we don't go on rants like this brother. Besides games like this are for gooning and occasionally if its well done we take a trip on the feels train. When the developer tries to take us down the politics route we do not engage. Think like an honorable chatter brother we do not go into none political areas and add politics leave that toi the crying and clout chasing libs.
I need some help downloading the game, I go as far as clicking the + on joiplay and getting to the picture, I've tried 10 times, 9 times joiplay crashed, and the one time it didn't absolutely nothing popped up on the joiplay plugin, or on my phone, joiplay closed and took me back to RAR with me still unable to play the game , what am I doing wrong?
I take it you are installing on an Android phone?
Did you install both Joiplay and the Renpy plugin from the joiplay website, joiplay.org ?
The Wiki has FAQ, some info on Android and downloading there.
Youtube has videos on installing Joiplay and Renpy games on Android. Consider comparing what you did to the videos.
Why can't i play nia's new event in v0.19
Hard to say. I have not used v0.19 yet since it is not published. It is a beta version now, so may have game breaking bugs that prevent some events from happening.
Anyway, if you have access to unreleased beta versions, you can access beta channel on Discord where you can ask about beta version issues and bugs.
Are you a Patron? Issues regarding the beta should be posted in the appropriate discord channel.
Been following this game for so long now and when there an new update i always reply the entire game that's how much i enjoy this masterpiece, hoping for the new update coming out soon.
Thank you so much <3 v0.19 is very close to being finished
Cant wait!!!
Hey Runey, I hope that you and your people are doing well. This might be a personal question so feel free not to answer, but I am curious as to which other game(s) besides this masterpiece, you enjoy or like? <3
I don't play NSFW games myself, but there are many who can give you recommendations in discord.
Interesting, thank you for the response.
I'm not Runey, but I can suggest Mythic Manor, Dark Magic and Lucky's Paradox. All are HS based 3DCG VNs, with good scenes and story (not as good as HH ofc, but they come close).
I have played Mythic Manor mobile edition once, but I had to delete it due to it taking too much space, fast forward 2-1/2 years and I got myself a good pc. Yet, I am unable to download it directly from the Itch.io for some reason, but on the Itch.io web I can, though I haven't installed it thus far. As for the other games you mentioned, I gave Lucky Paradox a try (I uninstalled it, although I forgot the reason why ), but I have not played Dark Magic. Upon closer inspection, the game seems to be quit good, and sorry for dragging you through all of these words. Thanks for the suggestion and response (;
Nah, it's fine. I don't have a 5 second gen-z attention span. xD
I suggest you to look for custom ports of MM. The version I have installed is about 3GB.
There are also non-3D, fairly popular (and a common pick in suggestion comments), but still good games.
Summertime Saga, Aurelia (absolutely stunning pixel art, not 8 bit), Four Elements Trainer (based on Avatar cartoon), Knightly Passions, Game of Whores (Game of Thrones obviously), Innocent Witches (Harry Potter universe), Sex Note (a parody of Death Note's premise).
Then there's also Akabur with his Princess Trainer (Alladin) and Witch Trainer Silver (Harry Potter universe again, Silver is a modded version).
And ofc Star Channel 34.
There's also Witch Hunter (based on W.I.T.C.H cartoon).
Sorry if you know all these and I wasn't able to uncovered something new.
Heh I know most of them , but not Akabur, Witch Trainer Silver, Star Channel 34, so I will be checking those out. Man do you have great tastes, and don't worry about it, I appreciate any info or reminders of my other lost games. Godspeed, brother!
I was really surprised by this game. Dev is only at v 0.19 and there's already so much enjoyable content. Often when you see game this big in scope, they have issues with feature creep, but here all the different elements work and are fun. Aside from some continuity issues and some small bugs, this game is definitely worth paying for, even at this early stage. This is one of my top H games ever. And the dev isn't even done yet!
Runey one of the few devs that hasn't gone for ai and is still cooking still rooting for ya runey but plz help me where's the current updated link to buy harem hotel and access patreon the links die on me but still best wishes for ya
Look at the top of this page, under the Logo.
PATREON | DISCORD | TWITTER | WIKI / GUIDE
Thank you :) I didn't know so many devs were using AI so much.
Harem Hotel will always be free, but if you're looking to gain access to the pre-release builds, that is available for supporters on Patreon.
thanks I meant to get into it I did the $10 one for now and as soon be released one that's still in the making is nice there's a few typos here in there on the wording besides from that I haven't had any issues it was great
Oh thank you so much!

It's a common issue on Mac that is usually fixed by restarting the computer
I did. issue's still here
Do the beta version has cheat codes ?
The beta version does have cheat codes. You get to know them by subscribing on Patreon to the game and paying the monthly fee. Those codes should not be revealed here or anywhere else, they are only for subscribers.
The Wiki has wiki/Codes page that has some cheat codes.
Adding on to this, the cheat codes have recently leaked so they were changed. Leaked cheat codes will always be changed instantly. But if you're a supporter playing the latest beta build and looking for the cheat codes, they can be found on discord at the moment.
Still one of the best HS based games and one best 3DCG VNs ever, in my top 3 for suuure.
Thank you so much :) What do you like most? I love feedback and criticism.
Oh, I can share what I like and what I don't.
1) Writing is amazing. In fact, it's so great, that I just want to read the dialogues and sex scenes are not the main focus for me at times. All the characters so different and well written, even the side ones. And the world itself is super interesting.
2) Amount of CGs is great. Attention to details too. I love city ones! Last time I played a couple of years ago, there was no city or garden.
3) Doesn't need much grinding.
If I had to mention something I don't like.
I guess all my problems are a matter of personal preference, not a real criticism.
1) Vending machine in the lobby is useless. Or maybe I don't know what it does.
2) Ashley. If I had to choose, I'd say that she is my least favourite character in the main cast. At times I straight up hate her and avoid dealing with her. I know it's intentional, but her obsession with main character is creepy and he doesn't care?? She straight up rapes him and he's like: "Okay, cool." She constantly mentions that she wants to have kids right now.
Main character is a good guy, but from how I see it, he uses sex to manipulate emotionally vulnerable girls. Maybe it's intentional, maybe not. It's especially noticeable in case of Ashley. She's super unstable and I know that he knows it.
But he still rewards her actions. That time she pulled a knife on Maria and both her and MC simply let it slide?? Maybe it's resolved in the future, maybe it's already resolved. Don't stick your dick in crazy tho!
3) Inconsistencies in the story. I don't know what triggers the Emma's & Felicity's arrival to the hotel but in Ashley's story at the college, characters act like they don't know each other, despite them already living in the hotel.
Which is weird because they got expulsed or suspended and had to move hotel AFTER their arrival.
Anyway, can't think of anything else.
Everything is pretty much is perfect other than that.
BRO THE DOWNLOAD KEEPS STOPPING I'VE BEEN TRYING TO INSTALL IT FOR 2 DAYS AND IT STILL KEEPS STOPPING (I accidentally turned on caps)
There is FAQ in the Wiki, it explains some problems seen with downloads.
If you want help here, please tell what you are downloading, from where, on what platform and the exact error message you get.
There is help channel on Discord, that might give faster replies. Maybe ALL CAPS caused post to be delayed, it shows now as 5 days old.
This game is amazing.Stories about elves are intriguing.
Thank you! :)
Came for and to the boobs. Stayed for the uncanilly interesting story and characters, am fully invested in to this.
I'm happy that you're enjoying the story!
why does this give me a similar vibe like Sexus Resort? looks cool
My device is Android and I followed the instructions you mentioned above but "joiplay" says it does not support this type of games
Which says that? Exact error message would be helpful.
Try following the instructions again, carefully and meticulously.
There are videos on installing joiplay on Youtube.
Runey, hey there!
First of all, I'd like to thank you for the game. Playing for the first time I skipped huge part of the story and now I'm playing HH again without skipping any events. It feels great though I already know last events of v0.18.2, that's obviously an achievement of you as of storywriter.
I also have a question for you: due to censorship in several countries, have you considered launching subscriptions on similar to patreon websites? Patreon is unavailable in my country as well as I'm not able to pay for the subscription with my card
And for those who isn't affected by that problem:
Don't forget to sign the petition against censorship
https://chng.it/LrD6ymp5SZ
Look up the Patreon link at top of this page, below the Harem Hotel logo. Also Discord and Twitter. There is also Subscribestar for Harem Hotel.
Thank you so much! Yes, I have subscribestar already. I am also working towards releasing a SFW version of the game to avoid censorship.
Hey Runey how is it going? Uh I really don’t wanna be that guy I know how devs and even players hate it but… when will the next version be ready 😭 ALSO one more time, as loud as possible.. GIVE US AN OPTION TO MARRY LIN AND MY LIFE IS YOURSSSS.
Oh one other thing is I speak turkish, german and spanish, if you are looking for translators, I’d especially like to translate the game to turkish. I recommended Harem Hotel to many people before and some of them didn’t really go far because their english isn’t that good which is… okay I guess not everyone has the time to learn a second language sufficiently well - I’m not the one to judge. Since HH is my favorite in this genre and it has a huuuge lore and character building in it. I’m sure more language means wider audience and I’d be delighted to contribute to its success. Anyway I have some free time these days and I’d be happy to help if needed. I hope you are doing well keep up the work man love you
Also for players, don’t forget to sign the petition fellas: https://chng.it/LrD6ymp5SZ
Bro i need you to....SAY THIS ONCE MORE FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACKKKK
People, English is not my first language (I speak Spanish although that doesn't matter now since games are what keep us united), but seeing what's happening with censorship in games with NSFW content, which I find ridiculous, I ask you not to stay silent and to go complete this survey, it's super easy.

Which exe file do I open with the joiplay thing???
Can someone send like a video tutorial or sumthn (I'm on an android tablet)
Either one should work.
The *32.exe is 32 bit version, it might use less memory.
Look up installation videos on Youtube.
i can't download it, like its stops after 10gbs is complete out of 12.5gbs. says something like "failed-forbidden".
Read the FAQ in the Wiki
If that does not help, provide the exact error message text instead of “something like”. Also what you are trying to download, from where and on what platform.
