I don't know if the authors intended to do this, but they have deconstructed a problematic thing that, I and many other furries romanticized in leo's route, and showcased how fucked up the thing is.
This is an intentional thing the author's intended for, right?

I'd like to ask the devs something regarding this game. I think that minotaur hotel touches on a subject that is interesting. The subject of a half man half bull who has to live in eternity living basically as a slave to humans and they are pressured into torturing him in a way. But what I don't find interesting at all are the choices given. You can be a good person to him or bad, which is fine. but those choices aren't engaging or interesting. Asking me whether or not I want this innocent person (spoilers: i know that the story right now is hinting that Astorion might be lying, but regardless, i don't think there is a crime worthy of eternal enslavement, end spoilers) to be tortured or to be treated as equal isn't an interesting moral question. Maybe we can do things that are meant to help but end up harming Asterion in the long run.
I'm not a writer and my opinions should probably not be taken seriously, but I really love this game and I would love it if it keeps on improving. The main star of the story isn't just Asterion, at least to me, it's helping him and nourishing him into a healthier person. the best parts of the story were the beginning, seeing this broken almost dead person and reaching out was a highlight and I hope new updates will have more of those highlights.
i checked the last update and something got into my mind. when you tell Burry about teak's treatment of you, he doesn't take it seriously and blames you for feeling that. but in the new update, he was upset a dog peed on the guardian and is willing to give them a very strong firm talk.
i thought the talking about teak is about how the dogs don't take your concerns seriously, so i am bit confused.

I've really liked this game, to the point where i am recommending friends to play it. I've noticed few themes that i thought were really cool and i do wish they will be expanded upon. And this is just stuff i interpreted, it could be i took them the wrong way.
I personally really like the theme of disempowerment and disrespect towards the human. From tweak overt hatred (i do know that tweak cries when he beats you up, i don't think it matters a lot, it just means he is just not a complete dick), to rune not caring about the player consent and doesn't take a no for an answer when you go upstairs with him, the same happens with that dream sequence with Burry, it does imply that the main character doesn't consider the dogs as people who require consent from him. Burry also chastises the main character for being upset with the mistreatment he faces from tweak, saying he is upset from his bruised ego.
I do know some of it is intentional, the MC mentions that they don't refer to him as one of his own but as the "other", "the human". He also fears that he will stop being useful one day and they will kick him out. Ironically, alon is the only character i felt gave some respect towards the human, although that sex scene did make me question it.
I really do wish the author would expand to those themes as i think they are really cool to explore in such a world where you are the only human available.
