Developer is more active on Patreon and Discord.

Latest post on Patreon was on Valentines day.

On Discord there are posts from last Thursday.

I read rumor developer had issues that prevented working, and is back developing game in May. I can not verify this is true.

I realised developer wrote here on Itch.io 13 days ago:

It is indeed. I am in the middle of moving countries. Apologies for the delay, I was not planning on this.

Wasn’t the game about 12GB for Android? Or I was hallucinating?

There is no Android version of this game. There used to be, when it could be made smaller than 2GB. Currently game is 13GB. Game can be played on Android with emulation, see above on this page “How to play on Android” and FAQ page in the Wiki.

Or now it’s a browser?

No browser.

i dont now wher can i fond Face Sitter

Cultivate relationship with the girl, that will be available eventually.

OK, now it is clear.

You can not remove any of the .rpa files. When doing the update using the patch .zip, the new files overwrite the old or it is a new .rpa. The .zip has README file inside that tells how to do the patch.

Version v0.19.1 has 17 .rpa files in the game/ subdirectory. They are all needed.

If your current version of game is v0.18.1 or older, you must install the older patch files first. Patch files for v0.1.16 and older are available from developers Patreon, just scoll old messages until old enough items appear.

Quick question if I have a updated versions RPA do I need the old versions still?

Maybe too quick, since I do not understand what you are asking.

I guess it is about updating game. There is FAQ page in the Wiki and faq channel on Discord.

Have You met the android?

It seems downloading this large game is problematic for quite a few users.

Perhaps offering a Torrent link for download has been already considered and rejected? It would help if net keeps disconnecting, I believe it can continue from where download was interrupted. It would also scale when new version is publised and umpteen thousand gamers download at the same time.

One hack I invented myself would be splitting game to smaller pieces. The big pieces of the game are the .rpa files in game-directory. Offering them as separate .zip files would mitigate the problem of one huge > 13GB file and interrupt during transfer. The largest .rpa is v09.rpa, 3.2 GB. Putting the > 0.9 GB files each to its own zip and collectin the smaller .rpa files to about 1 GB files would make about 10 .zip files, and then the rest of the game the 11th. So user would need to do 11 separate downloads and unzip them manually. Maybe this could be tried and see if it helps gamers with slow of flaky connection.

There is also Itch app, which no longer can download HH since version 0.19, when game is only on third party websites and not on Itch.io. This is a hurdle for those accustomed to the easy game install and update using the app. I do not know what to do about this except upload game also to itch.io.

I do not find 25 Mbit/sek slow. That is plenty fast and should download Harem Hotel in an hour and a half.

Plug in your laptop when doing a long download. Have a nap while the download happens, read a book, watch a movie or go for a walk.

Anyway, I still do not see how transfer.it would help.

This is quote from FAQ page in the Wiki:

Paid Patreon or Subscribestar members of at least Supporter tier get the current cheat codes.

could you please upload the game to transfer.it for download? my internet is slow

From what I can find out from the Interwebs, transfer.it is a service provided by Mega. But I do not know in what way it differs from ordinary Mega.

But I do not see how it would make your Internet faster whatever it is that transfer.it does.

How slow is it? With 10Mbit/sek bandwith, your download would have finished by now if you started when you posted your question.

Have you tried both of the download sites from the “Download” -section above?

You do not say on what platform you play.

If you are on Android, you must copy the save files somewhere, and then copy them back to the new version.

On other platforms continuing just works unless you go and delete the save files yourself.

For more info, see FAQ page in the Wiki and FAQ channel on Discord.

Last news post was oct last year.

Last update on Patreon was on Valentines day.

Seems you are writing spoilers on this channel. Please do not do that. Players may want to find out the secrets and lore in the game themselves.

At least hide them as

Adding Spoiler Text to your Game Description

Find above on this page “How to play on Android”.

could you just make it a seperate download

There is info on the FAQ page in the Wiki.

It was 4 months ago

It was answered then, situation is unchanged.

What is the error message when it crashes?

Verify you have followed the install instructions for Joiplay from the instructions above, under heading “How to play on Android”.

Verify version of Renpy Plugin is 7.7.1.

Developer writes here regularly, a month ago the message was

It’s too early in development to give a proper answer. The only one I can give is unsatisfactory.

When it’s ready.

You promised

I am not going to debate this further after this,

No. Quote from FAQ page in the Wiki:

There is no Android version of the game. However, it is possible to play on Android using the PC version under emulation. Instructions are in the itch.io page, under the heading “How to play on Android”. It goes the same way other Renpy games are played on Android using joiplay. Youtube has videos showing how it is done.

Download the zip with Windows logo (or Penguin Logo if playing on Linux).

The problem is explained in the FAQ page in the Wiki:

There is no Android version of the game. However, it is possible to play on Android using the PC version under emulation.

how do i play this on the android version it keeps giving me the pc ve

This is from the FAQ in the Wiki :

There is no Android version of the game. However, it is possible to play on Android using the PC version under emulation. Instructions are in the itch.io page, under the heading “How to play on Android”.

If Mediafire is slow, try downloading from Mega.

For me Mediafire has been very fast, under 25 minutes for the full 13 GB game. There have been previous discussions where it is apparent Mediafire is very slow in some countries.

Maybe you just need to be patient, if the download continues it will finish eventually. If there is a daily quota for fast download, trying tomorrow perhaps is again fast.

he city is under lockdown… What can I do now?

You need to wait until next version is released, as the story progresses in that version the city lockdown is removed.

If you can not wait, restore a save from before you did Lin’s last event, then you can visit the City.

Yes.

I remember this was asked before, quite some time ago.

Developer wrote that would mean redoing most of the images and animations. Maybe story would need changes, too. All of that is too much extra work.

There is FAQ page in the Wiki.

It might be Ocarina of Time.

I think OP means Itch app no longer works for Harem Hotel, since it can not be downloaded from Itch website since version v0.19.

This problem: FAQ page in Wiki

Have you tried a save that is made in the managers hotel room? Those tend to work best when used in a newer version of game.

What was version of game before the update? If it was v0.18.1 or older, you must first install patch HH v0.17+ > v0.18.2 PC Patch. That in turn needs version v0.17.x as base. There are older patches available from developers Patreon page.

If you can not sort it out, easiest way may be to download the complete v0.19.1 game, 13 gigabytes, and unzip that to a new directory. Then use a save made in tne manager hotel room.

Choose Chinese from the Options menu.

Spanish translation is known to be incomplete. All translations are done by volunteers, since the developer only writes the English original.

There are rumors a new volunteer team is redoing the Spanish translation, but I do not know anything more about the state of the work.

There is a FAQ page in the Wiki.

You can pay on Patreon and Subscribestar.

Paying on Itch.io is not possible anymore since last summer. That is due to campaign arranged by Collective Shout.

You must use the versions of Renpy Plugin and Joiplay instructied. From the “How to play on Android”:

Download Joiplay 7.7.1 and the Ren’py plugins,

Although I have read from discussions on Discorc that Joiplay can be latest released version but the Renpy plugin must be 7.7.1.

The FAQ page in the Wiki has some info

You did not write what version of game you are playing, and on which platform.

Can you show screenshot when interacting is not possible? That might help finding why it does not work.

I just want to ask when the new version will be available on Android.

Quoting the FAQ page in the Wiki:

There is no Android version of the game. However, it is possible to play on Android using the PC version under emulation. Instructions are in the itch.io page, under the heading “How to play on Android”.

So you can play on Android the same day the PC version is released.

How does Lin’s story begin?

Visit the Kitchen while Lin is there.

If that does not help, the Wiki has more info.

I try to progress with the character with lowest level. That way one story does not get too far ahead of some other.

This at least works better than concentrating on progressing with one character only.

Translations are done by volunteers, if French players produce the translation then it can be included in the next version.

To my knowledge the translation teams status is not public information. There is a greyed out French menu item in the Options menu, so presumable there at least was a French translation in the works sometime.

I’d like to be able to set it so that grotesque games are hidden.

I believe there is no setting on Itch to filter out tags.

But Useful Answers pinned message has this trick: Useful Answers

the option to exclude certain tags in my filter

There is none.

Characters in game are busy with important work to be done.

Maybe at end of the game story the world is a better place to have children.
