I've completed all the content up to the patch, it's all very good and all and Runey is a super talented writer and dev. however it's mentioning the fact i've completed all the content (as in the message from Runey) nearly every interaction with anything (doors characters etc most dialogues end/start with the thank you message)
not sure if there's something i can do about this lol
That's the first time I've heard of this bug, it's strange that this randomly occurred. The easiest and simplest solution would be to install a fresh download.
Damn i love the game , so much content but yet im still not fully satisfied . I wish i could help you creating this masterpiece but im no programmer lol . I think the thing that bother me te most for now is that fact that android keep switching back and forth from phase one to phase 2 and vice versa .. i prefer phase 2 but she's always in phase 1 in the hotel .. also i have a suggestion.. would you consider adding a trans into the pool of character? She could be an Elf that they try to transform into the ultimate sex/maid or something and even an other android . Thanks for the game runey and cant wait for the next uptade
Thank you so much! I'm not much of a programmer myself either, most of my time goes into storyboarding and scene creation.
Yeah, Android is lagging behind with outfits. It's on my to-do list!
I try to only include things I'm very interested in within HH, it helps avoid burnout and keeps me motivated to create. I don't always strictly stick to this rule, I love to make the players happy, but this is why there hasn't been much queer content. However the situation you brought up does sort of happen at The Beach.
You provide very little information, I can not guess what could be wrong. Just pressing the Download button works for me. Developers Patreon page has the download links too, you could try there but they should be the very same links.
If you have another PC you can use, download there and transfer to your PC using memory stick or other portable storage.
Hey Runey! I just wanted to say what an amazing game you have so far! Like most I came for the... fun... but stayed for the story. Being someone who has gone through some trauma younger, I found myself deeply connected to a few of the main characters. I wasn't expecting to cry for some of these scene's... That's for sure.
Thank you for such an amazing game, I'm probably 3/4ths through v19, and look forward to v20!
Yo, Runey, i have a question mate, about the age of the game, do you have something in mind for the 10 years? i know i'm getting a little bit ahead, but you know, the time fly. Another thing i would like to see its... a elf, a gray elf, or maybe not because you have map route about the developing. So, thx mate for this game, its making my vacations more funny, bye lad
tried a fix for the error with the garden when going to sleep that a commenter suggested, replaced my garden.rpa file with the one from the 18.2 update. just getting a new error now
EDIT: just realised its probably v18.rpa, gonna try replacing that too
Strange errors. I can only suggest, like developer wrote originally, to download the full v0.19.1 zip and extract it to a new directory. Then try starting that and see if these strange errors disappear.
That should get a fully working game, unless files have been modified or cheat codes have been used to mess up the old saves.
after completing lins new story event you cant explore the city anymore because its on lockdown. i never did the new events around the city before this so is there any way i can do them now? or do i just have to reload a save
Because all explore content is early game content designed to introduce you to this world, it is intended that you will lose access to it after a certain point. Any story content from the city will be lost if you decide not to do it by this point in the story, as it would not make much sense. But the explore content is planned to return with a whole new set of events, re-introducing you to a world that has changed.
how to get cheat code actually ? i just want to skip content that i already play before and reinstall it back , i already try makeitstorm but not valid anymore , can anyone help
If you just want to continue from where you last played the game, that works without cheat codes. The old save should work and you can continue. To be sure, make a save in main characters room and continue from that in the new install. If you play on Android, see Discord channel FAQ on how to copy save files.
This is from FAQ page in the Wiki:
Some published cheat codes can be found on the wiki’s Codes page: Codes.
Other cheat codes do exist, but are exclusive to patrons and should not be shared anywhere. If cheat codes you have stopped working, it is because codes where changed after they were leaked.
So, how did you get the cheat codes you have now?
Joining Patreon or Subscribestar as subscriber allows you to get the cheat codes that work.
I actually realized something that works easily if you have your previous save in your system. It's worked with every RenPy game I've played. What you do is:
Step 1: Open the old version's folder, and enter the "game" folder.
Step 2: Copy the "saves" folder in the old version's "game" folder.
Step 3: Open the new version's "game" folder.
Step 4: Paste the "saves" folder into the new version's "game" folder.
Only on Android is it necessary to copy save files.
On other platforms the save/ -folder contains copies of the save files that are store elsewhere. On Windows it is %APPDATA%, on Linux ~/.renpy/Harem\ Hotel-<random-number>/, on Mac something similar that I do not remember. All versions of game use that same place.
Installing new version of game to a new directory and loading save file from old version should just work.
I have to say that I'm enjoying this game more than expected and it's because of the world building and the characters are very compelling. I love the idea for the new update since it currently feels a lot more like an apartment rather than a hotel. Please tell me that fourth room on the second floor will eventually be filled by a new main character? Eris maybe. I would also love some more Kate, Nia, and Sylivia. Anyways, keep it up. I'm looking forward to the update
Thanks for the question, the next update is currently being worked on. I unfortunately had a very brutal bilateral ear infection which caused both of my ears to explode and deafened me for two months, so that knocked me out a bit, but work is being done!
Ah this one, this seems to be a very odd and specific bug. You should only need a full fresh install to fix this. One of your scripts may have been corrupted during an update.
I think that bug happens when version v0.18.0 or v0.18.1 is patced to v0.19.1 with HH v0.18+ > v0.19.1 PC Patch
It still says above on this page that patch applies to v0.18.0 or later, but it only works for patching v0.18.2 to v0.19.1.
For original poster: If my guess is correct, you can fix your setup by getting the HH v0.17+ > v0.18.2 PC Patch and copying only the garden.rpa file from that. Or installing the full v0.19.1 like developer suggested, but that is 13GB download instead of 1GB.
Things like growing pumpkins to make pumpkin pie or even with the addition of hotel guests you can stockpile ingredients for a food menu. Or perhaps growing spices and other toppings to enhance meals for guests, Or maybe make jams
To reach level 4 with Moon, visit the bar on a monday. Maria must be available. If reaching this event is too confusing, let me know, and I will work towards making it clear in game.
So, I can't update the game anymore... it was already in my library when the most recent update was released, but whenever I try to update I get hit with a "title hosted on an incompatible third party website" error message.
Seems Itch App does not allow downloading from third party sites. Error message is “This title is hosted on an incompatible third-party website”. Game can be downloaded manually from the Download links on game Itch page.
Game can also be downloaded from Patreon and Subscribestar.
Hi, whenever I play, I like to use the money cheat, but I changed devices and my game was deleted. I downloaded it again and it tells me that the cheat is invalid. Is it still the same or did they change it?
And to be honest, you can have great fun in this game without using cheats. The bar and garden make decent money and I love replaying the game when I finish it.
Hey there, I have a question. Ive been playing this for a while now (patch 0.12? dunno, when Autumn only had 1 chapter), but I believe I have a bug happening.
When I bought Lin's sister, she had her addiction going on. I know I could have had sex with her and all, but I opted to have her go cold turkey. However, after that her dialogue has been entirely the same through all the updates; I talk to her, ask how shes doing, and shes hanging in there. Nothing else. No other available actions either. Yet her story currently is on 5/9, and I havent been able to make any progress on this.
hell, on playing it yesterday I accidentally hovered over that tiny gate and noticed you can go to a new area. Didnt even know about that damn garden since I thought the ONLY part of the garden was the place with the pillows. Well... more chapters to go then :D
actually, uh... since I finished Lin's story, the city is now permanently under lockdown, so I cant go into the city to buy utilities/seeds and advance Jin's story/the garden's passive income.
Kind of strange how everything is restored in order to continue playing the game, but the lockdown is permanent until the next update <.<
I'm troubled with the direction you're taking the android. being so naive with life and her social skills just doesn't feel right. with the access she has to the internet she should be able to master any social interaction, read into any social situation. hell, she could be a therapist, a doctor, a master of all trades. she would know bragging and showing off would be the wrong way to go. she could understand every awkward situation and avoid it. she could easily be the life of any party. i feel you made her character weaker than she should have been when she could have been your strongest and most supportive. the one everyone went to for support, advice and encouragement. i love your game and i'm not saying i have all the answers with how you should tell your story. it just seems weird making her so smart and so dumb.
oh yeah, plexiglass insulated circuitry with double aluminum or copper plating is EMP proof. all of our military equipment has it. you can also protect against lightning, tasers, even solar flares. she could have the sociology degree of Maria only better, the computer skills of Kali only better, the vigilantism of Nia only better. a beautiful, sexy spy/super hero of perfection.
Great points, I would love to explain, but the goal is that it should be clear in game.
When it boils down to it, Android is a human in a (mostly) metal body. But how do I explain that she has human issues when she's capable of much more? It's tough, but this is how she works:
She is a very new soul, still discovering how the world works. She has all the capabilities of an adult if an adult was dropped in a completely unfamiliar environment and had to learn everything from the start again. Nothing in our reality comes natural to her, so she must discover what reality is. And her whole world has been the hotel, and the people in it. Naturally her first priority would be to protect them and interact with them. Protection is easy, it's a science, but socializing is an art, and that's what she struggles with specifically. Anyone with autism like myself knows that these things don't come so naturally to us, and it's almost impossible to learn how to be social from someone else, you have to actually practice it and discover what works.
Android absolutely has the capability to do all of the things you mentioned, she would just need to practice or download the information, of which she has limited storage. So she must prioritize the memories and feelings of her loved ones.
Regarding her EMP protection, most of her parts especially early on are ancient technology in the context of this universe. It's 30+ years old. But you're right, that is totally a possibility, and a great idea for an upgrade.
Hi, firstly, I'd like to say thank you for making this game. It's honestly one of, if not the best VN that I have ever played, and recently I have been on a bit of a VN streak. :D everything from the story to animations to the gameplay has been great (though the opening cutscene does need a remake, as it's a bit stiff)
secondly, if it's okay, I'd like to give a bit of feedback and report a few continuity errors.
(1): The game does need a way to allow you to earn cash a bit faster. As the elves were to expensive to buy while doing the story, and having to spend an in-game month or two just to collect cash was a bit tedious.
(2): The bowling tournament would be quite interesting if it wasn't just a dice roll. having some input, if that is possible in ren'py, would be nice.
then for the continuity errors.
(1): Felicity got taken away, yet she was still in Ashley's story to search for Ren.
(2): Maria got taken away, and before she got back, there were two cutscenes where she was still in the hotel. one with Felicity and Emma (if I recall correctly, it's the naki one, but it was because the scene for Maria's return played after that one), and the another one I don't recall exactly, but they were in the lobby.
(3): The noodle shop guy doesn't recognize us during Ren's search, even though we meet him in the slums exploration in the city.
(1) I feel game does allow earning money at a comfortable rate. But earned money must be invested in profitable upgrades, that way money flow continues.
Problem is, first time playing it is hard to know which purchases make more money than they cost. Or which are proritable now instead of some time in the future.
Moneymaking activities were added in v0.18.2 and seems v0.20 is going to add some more.
Game could have a bank that loans money at 10% interest.
(2) Bowling tournament is a dice roll, but player wins more than loses, so it is a way to make money in the long run. It might be more fun if some skill was involved.
The Pre-Alpha is a very unique build which includes only the new mechanics coming to v0.20. These additions make big adjustments to the core of the gameplay and how you progress the hotel.
Yo, Runes. I've been playing for more years than I can even remember at this point. I love the game and I have a couple minor ideas you could easily throw in.
-A meta joke where someone asks why everyone finds the main character so appealing. "He has such beautiful eyes". Obviously
-I assume you have the 3D models you used for the figurines still. It'd be kinda neat to see them in game. Maybe as decorations in Kali's room.
-An arcade box in the lobby. Port some generic Atari clone code as one of Ellen's upgrades. You could then go further and tie some minor content to beating the roster of characters on the leaderboard. This would add substantial gameplay with minimum effort and add life to the world.
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to playing for years to come.
Human-to-human conversation is still very valuable and easier in most cases. If someone is nice enough to respectfully ask a question, then we can respectfully answer it.
Hi! Good game u re developing here. One pint of criticism if i may add, as a personal opinion (and i guess spoiler?), considering the direction of the quests, I guess u plan on abolishing elf slavery for the end game? I was more inclined for the game to focus on consolidating the bussines or bussineses, growing the harem and strenghten the bonds with big shots in the city, all in all to grow in power and influence, not to put everything and everyone in danger cuz we cant say "no" to delusional requests like "lets abolish slavery" (Lin quests, Maria quests), like we re not in charge of the hotel (story) anymore, the girls are :)) No hate, just an opinion..
That's right! This story is focused on abolishing abusive power structures rather than taking advantage of them.
This story takes inspiration from historical events, such as abolishing slavery and monopolies. As well as goals such as abolishing poverty and corruption.
The main cast are abolishonists. Not strictly in the freedom from slavery sense, but the literal definition "To do away with". In the context of this story that means to do away with the laws, institutions, and governance that has personally affected their freedoms. Change and hope for the future are big themes here.
So I think I continued Jin's story too deep into the lore and now the city is in lockdown without me being able to buy the gardening tools for her. Is there something I'm missing or a solution to this? Love the game btw!
Currently there is nothing that can be done about the lockdown once it has happened. The farm is content that was added recently, but it's designed to be experienced early on a new save.
The shitty thing about reports is that they're sent to me, not directly to itch.io staff. Even when I report the reported content, it goes straight to me haha
Itch.io staff does seem to become aware of accounts with enough reports though, so it's a team effort. Sometimes accounts do get globally banned before I have the opportunity to ban them here. If I were to guess, one person reporting all of their comments does more than mass reporting one comment.

I've completed all the content up to the patch, it's all very good and all and Runey is a super talented writer and dev. however it's mentioning the fact i've completed all the content (as in the message from Runey) nearly every interaction with anything (doors characters etc most dialogues end/start with the thank you message)
not sure if there's something i can do about this lol
Thank you!
That's the first time I've heard of this bug, it's strange that this randomly occurred. The easiest and simplest solution would be to install a fresh download.
Verify what version you are playing. I think there was that kind of bug in v0.19.0, which was fixed in v0.19.1.
Heya, turns out it was the difference between .0 and .1
Cheers
Damn i love the game , so much content but yet im still not fully satisfied . I wish i could help you creating this masterpiece but im no programmer lol . I think the thing that bother me te most for now is that fact that android keep switching back and forth from phase one to phase 2 and vice versa .. i prefer phase 2 but she's always in phase 1 in the hotel .. also i have a suggestion.. would you consider adding a trans into the pool of character? She could be an Elf that they try to transform into the ultimate sex/maid or something and even an other android . Thanks for the game runey and cant wait for the next uptade
Thank you so much! I'm not much of a programmer myself either, most of my time goes into storyboarding and scene creation.
Yeah, Android is lagging behind with outfits. It's on my to-do list!
I try to only include things I'm very interested in within HH, it helps avoid burnout and keeps me motivated to create. I don't always strictly stick to this rule, I love to make the players happy, but this is why there hasn't been much queer content. However the situation you brought up does sort of happen at The Beach.
hi, i don't know why but i can't download it, someone can help me
You do not say how you are trying to download.
Try reading the FAQ page in the Wiki.
If that does not help, tell how you are doing the downloading and what happens when it does not work.
when i launch on mediafire it keep reseting and it dowload so slow and with the google drive i just ca't even launch i
I just tried Mediafire, download is very fast and works.
Google Drive tells me there are too many downloads and I need to wait 24 hours.
Are you sure you have more than 13 GBytes free space on the device? Can you download successfully from somewhere else?
Perhaps show screenshot of the failed download, that might give clues on what is wrong.
well yeah i know there is enough space on my pc and it keep reset itself, so i can' really give a screen with that
So it is a PC, running Windows?
You provide very little information, I can not guess what could be wrong. Just pressing the Download button works for me. Developers Patreon page has the download links too, you could try there but they should be the very same links.
If you have another PC you can use, download there and transfer to your PC using memory stick or other portable storage.

I will never get over starting a game like this and love just getting lost in the plot
Same.
Came to blow me load, stayed cuz it blowed my mind
Yo, Runey, i have a question mate, about the age of the game, do you have something in mind for the 10 years? i know i'm getting a little bit ahead, but you know, the time fly.

So, thx mate for this game, its making my vacations more funny, bye lad
Right now it's too hard to even plan my next week, life is hectic right now.

Yes absolutely, that last door has big plans!
Hey.
When are you planning the next update?
You can read the FAQ page in the Wiki.
Thanks for the question, the next update is currently being worked on. I unfortunately had a very brutal bilateral ear infection which caused both of my ears to explode and deafened me for two months, so that knocked me out a bit, but work is being done!
Thank you for your personal answer.
I hope your ear is good again. Get well soon!
I dont want to pressure you, but do you have an estimation. I wouldnt nail you on that. Just so I can get a feeling for it.
Thank you for your hard work.
getting this error when going to sleep, seems to be something to do with the garden
Ah this one, this seems to be a very odd and specific bug. You should only need a full fresh install to fix this. One of your scripts may have been corrupted during an update.
I think that bug happens when version v0.18.0 or v0.18.1 is patced to v0.19.1 with HH v0.18+ > v0.19.1 PC Patch

EDIT: just realised, its probably v18.rpa, gonna try that
EDIT 2: didnt work lol
With all the new stuff in 0.20 does that mean more garden stuff for ingredients? The garden is very fun, and I would love to see more added to it.
Maybe! What would you like to see
Things like growing pumpkins to make pumpkin pie or even with the addition of hotel guests you can stockpile ingredients for a food menu. Or perhaps growing spices and other toppings to enhance meals for guests, Or maybe make jams
I really loved the update Ellen received. I'd been dreaming about it. I also loved the new interaction with Kali's college friends.
I really hope Autumn gets some spicy news in the next update. Giving in to the pleasures of the flesh.
I really wish the game would receive the PT-BR language update. I'm eagerly awaiting it.
Regarding Ashley's fairies. I'm very curious about them. Will they receive anything interesting.
It would also be great if Juliet received some attention. She's beautiful.

So, I can't update the game anymore... it was already in my library when the most recent update was released, but whenever I try to update I get hit with a "title hosted on an incompatible third party website"
error message.
That is explained in the FAQ page on the Wiki:
I will be uploading this version directly to itch soon!
Hi, whenever I play, I like to use the money cheat, but I changed devices and my game was deleted. I downloaded it again and it tells me that the cheat is invalid. Is it still the same or did they change it?
Cheat codes were changed after they got leaked.
Subscribers on Patreon or Subscribestar get new codes.
Yes, sorry for the unpleasant surprise. When cheat codes get leaked I make new ones.
And to be honest, you can have great fun in this game without using cheats. The bar and garden make decent money and I love replaying the game when I finish it.
How do I progress after I've fully upgraded the garden? The wiki says I can buy tools and seeds in the Park but the city is under lockdown.
In that case you can’t, not until next version.
Game warns to not start last event for Lin until all other activities are completed. The Lin event causes the lockdown.
You could go to a save before that last Lin event starts, then you can go to garden supply seller.
what is the code i have to tell the girl at the school
Are you stumped by the riddles Kate asks? She has quite a lot of riddles, so hard to say.
The Wiki page for Kate has answers to the hard riddles. But if you think hard enough you can figure out the answers by the responses Kate says.
yah i did all the riddles and theres a wiki fuck lol

Anyone with autism like myself knows that these things don't come so naturally to us, and it's almost impossible to learn how to be social from someone else, you have to actually practice it and discover what works.
Android absolutely has the capability to do all of the things you mentioned, she would just need to practice or download the information, of which she has limited storage. So she must prioritize the memories and feelings of her loved ones.
Regarding her EMP protection, most of her parts especially early on are ancient technology in the context of this universe. It's 30+ years old. But you're right, that is totally a possibility, and a great idea for an upgrade.
Hi, firstly, I'd like to say thank you for making this game. It's honestly one of, if not the best VN that I have ever played, and recently I have been on a bit of a VN streak. :D everything from the story to animations to the gameplay has been great (though the opening cutscene does need a remake, as it's a bit stiff)
secondly, if it's okay, I'd like to give a bit of feedback and report a few continuity errors.
(1): The game does need a way to allow you to earn cash a bit faster. As the elves were to expensive to buy while doing the story, and having to spend an in-game month or two just to collect cash was a bit tedious.
(2): The bowling tournament would be quite interesting if it wasn't just a dice roll. having some input, if that is possible in ren'py, would be nice.
then for the continuity errors.
(1): Felicity got taken away, yet she was still in Ashley's story to search for Ren.
(2): Maria got taken away, and before she got back, there were two cutscenes where she was still in the hotel. one with Felicity and Emma (if I recall correctly, it's the naki one, but it was because the scene for Maria's return played after that one), and the another one I don't recall exactly, but they were in the lobby.
(3): The noodle shop guy doesn't recognize us during Ren's search, even though we meet him in the slums exploration in the city.
Windows v0.19.1
You did not reveal which version of game you are playing. Also good to know would be if you are playing on Linux, Mac, Android or Windows.
You're right, sorry, added that info to the end of the post :D
(1) I feel game does allow earning money at a comfortable rate. But earned money must be invested in profitable upgrades, that way money flow continues.
Problem is, first time playing it is hard to know which purchases make more money than they cost. Or which are proritable now instead of some time in the future.
Moneymaking activities were added in v0.18.2 and seems v0.20 is going to add some more.
Game could have a bank that loans money at 10% interest.
(2) Bowling tournament is a dice roll, but player wins more than loses, so it is a way to make money in the long run. It might be more fun if some skill was involved.
Agreed, skill input or progress would be nice.
Harem Hotel v0.20 Pre-Alpha has released!
The Pre-Alpha is a very unique build which includes only the new mechanics coming to v0.20. These additions make big adjustments to the core of the gameplay and how you progress the hotel.

Yo, Runes. I've been playing for more years than I can even remember at this point. I love the game and I have a couple minor ideas you could easily throw in.
-A meta joke where someone asks why everyone finds the main character so appealing. "He has such beautiful eyes". Obviously
-I assume you have the 3D models you used for the figurines still. It'd be kinda neat to see them in game. Maybe as decorations in Kali's room.
-An arcade box in the lobby. Port some generic Atari clone code as one of Ellen's upgrades. You could then go further and tie some minor content to beating the roster of characters on the leaderboard. This would add substantial gameplay with minimum effort and add life to the world.
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to playing for years to come.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Is there an ETA for 2.0 for us poor folks?
Gotta complete Harem Hotel 1 before work starts on Harem Hotel 2
I meant the next update, not #2 lol
Thank you!
Does this game involve pregnancy or filling the belly with semen?
You should read the FAQ page in the Wiki.
Human-to-human conversation is still very valuable and easier in most cases. If someone is nice enough to respectfully ask a question, then we can respectfully answer it.
I don't speak English very well, so please forgive me.
No pregnancy (yet) but certainly creampies!
Thank you

Im once your fans but nowadays I can't download the new version cuz my phone don't have storage for it I hope I can play this master piace again
In this case you would need to erase data to make extra space, or purchase extra storage if your phone allows that.
I see tkx for the advice
Hi! Good game u re developing here. One pint of criticism if i may add, as a personal opinion (and i guess spoiler?), considering the direction of the quests, I guess u plan on abolishing elf slavery for the end game? I was more inclined for the game to focus on consolidating the bussines or bussineses, growing the harem and strenghten the bonds with big shots in the city, all in all to grow in power and influence, not to put everything and everyone in danger cuz we cant say "no" to delusional requests like "lets abolish slavery" (Lin quests, Maria quests), like we re not in charge of the hotel (story) anymore, the girls are :)) No hate, just an opinion..
That's right! This story is focused on abolishing abusive power structures rather than taking advantage of them.
This story takes inspiration from historical events, such as abolishing slavery and monopolies. As well as goals such as abolishing poverty and corruption.
The main cast are abolishonists. Not strictly in the freedom from slavery sense, but the literal definition "To do away with". In the context of this story that means to do away with the laws, institutions, and governance that has personally affected their freedoms. Change and hope for the future are big themes here.
I'm having trouble unlocking Lucy's mission. If I'm not mistaken, you need to enter a code, right? What would that code be? Does anyone have it?
What mission is that? I do not remember any mission with Lucia Trenero that would involve a code.
The FAQ page in Wiki mentions one set of Cheat Codes.
So I think I continued Jin's story too deep into the lore and now the city is in lockdown without me being able to buy the gardening tools for her. Is there something I'm missing or a solution to this? Love the game btw!
Currently there is nothing that can be done about the lockdown once it has happened. The farm is content that was added recently, but it's designed to be experienced early on a new save.
oof i didnt interact with garden and didnt plan on it either cuz it aint my thing
It's optional, don't worry! Jin's side story does require it, but that's optional too.
ok, will you fix the gardens bugs? i get a lot of errors when sleeping with the ladies while the garden is up and/or stuff is growing.
I am unaware of any serious bugs at the moment. I'm sure there's some, but they need to be reported.
On an unrelated note, is it just me or have all the scam profiles finally f'd off?
If so, I can finally stop mass reporting them lol
There was scam links posted yesterday.
Today no scams on this channel anyway. I do not have high hopes the problem is over.
Bugger...
The shitty thing about reports is that they're sent to me, not directly to itch.io staff. Even when I report the reported content, it goes straight to me haha
Itch.io staff does seem to become aware of accounts with enough reports though, so it's a team effort. Sometimes accounts do get globally banned before I have the opportunity to ban them here. If I were to guess, one person reporting all of their comments does more than mass reporting one comment.
Oh... well... Uhh... Well Damn...
What should i do after Jin reach 5/10 of her quest?
You can read the FAQ page in the Wiki.
Hello, if I already have the file, if there is an update, I only need the patch, so I don't need to download all the files.
That statement is true.
You can read the FAQ page in the Wiki.

Absolutely! The instructions are on this page.
But i can see everywhere pc zip

Hmm.
That's correct. You must read the instructions.
