I remember this game. There were tens of hours of content in it already with cool models and interesting characters. Thank you !

The models are cool until the player discovers DAZ models are cooler, sexier and waaay more realistic than those of HS1/HS2.

"Boy meets girl,
Girl leaves boy,
Boy meets DAZ models,
End of story".

I just caught up after leaving it for a couple years. There is definitely some good content in these updates, and the story is getting progressively more interesting but at what point have we lost the plot. I can see how each character is going to wrap into the overarching story and I will wait to see how it ends before I overreact about the newer additions to the story.

I heard a rumor that this game might be on hiatus for a bit. I hope it comes back. I think it was probably the first game I played. Perhaps the developer is taking a few months out to redo everything in HS2.

This was the last info posted to Discord:

@Annoyed Harem Hotel is not abandoned.

We have been made aware of the decision by F95Zone to apply the “abandoned” tag to the Harem Hotel thread. Rest assured, that is simply not the case.

Developers are human too. And with that, real life happens to them just as it does for the rest of us. As some of you may know, Runey is solo developer. That means that there isn’t a team to absorb the workload in his absence.

We know that other games have gone on hiatus or have slowed down production due to “personal reasons,” and that term is sometimes met with skepticism. Those of us who speak with Runey routinely can attest he would love nothing more than to work consistently on the game and publish regular updates. That just isn’t feasible at this time.

I, nor does any of the moderation team, speak for Runey. Furthermore, he did not ask me to post this. If he decides to address the matter directly himself, this post will likely be removed. If not, that is his decision as well. However, due to the tag being applied on F95Zone and repeated questions posted by users here, I felt it was imperative to provide a modicum of reassurance at this time. All we ask is patience and understanding from this game’s incredible fans and supporters for the time being.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the information. I don't know if that should make me more or less concerned for its future. I guess I'll just have to keep fingers crossed and hope that it's coming back eventually.
Might have to join their discord in hope.

I was a bit suspicious at the start but it surprised me with lots of renders and nonstop grinding mechanic. I found myself grinding money to buy everything. Definitely satisfied but ngl close to the end it bored me.

An oldie but a goodie. Definitely a good game if you are looking for something to sink some time into
