*This page is about the game and its mechanics. If you are looking for information regarding the setting and the game's canon, see Harem Hotel (location).*

Harem Hotel is an adult visual novel developed by Runey.

## Plot

The game centres on the player character (also referred to as the MC, Player or Manager by default) recently moving away from their home in The Capitol to move to Syl'anar, where they inherit an out-of-the-way hotel from their recently deceased grandfather.

Though the hotel starts out with just one maid, Lin, its receptionist Ellen and a singular resident by the name of Kali, the hotel has a way of attracting various girls from all walks of life. As you manage and grow the hotel both economically and in number of residents, you also bond with and follow each girl's story.

## Mechanics

Harem Hotel is primarily a dating sim and management game.

### Girls' Stats

Each main character you meet in Harem Hotel has 3 main statistics: **Relationship** (or Friendship), **Affection** (or Obedience for Maid characters) and **Sluttiness**.

**Relationship** is a determinant of how close you are to a girl. It is increased exclusively by triggering and playing through character story events, which are usually accessed either through the "Talk" option when their hotel room door is clicked on or by entering a specific location in the hotel. Raising Friendship is required to access lewd options with characters and progress their stories, and sometimes pursuing one girl's story requires a prerequisite level of Friendship with a different girl in order to proceed.

**Affection** is a measure of how much a girl likes you. Taking them on dates, spending time with them casually and choosing certain dialogue/action options will raise Affection. Inversely, some dialogue choices and actions can decrease Affection, and if it reaches 0 the girl will refuse to interact with you. Using the computer to buy them a gift will set their Affection to 1 if this happens. Obedience functions similarly, however it is only applicable to the Maid characters (Lin and Android) and is raised by the same means as Affection but also through disciplining them such as spanking.

Affection and Obedience are sometimes prerequisites to certain character events.

**Sluttiness** is a measure of a girl's sexual openness with you, as well as desire for you. It is raised by engaging in sexual acts with them. Sluttiness also has its own sub-categories which have two variations: Non-vanilla and sex acts. Non-vanilla is represented by the **Exhibitionism** and **Submission** stats, which represent a girl's willingness to be sexual in public and willingness to be dominated respectively. Raising these non-vanilla stats requires a certain Relationship and Sluttiness level as they represent a more unconventional and risky genre of sex.

Sex acts are more straightforward - It is a measure of how many times you have done any given act or position with a girl. While some events require a minimum number of a specific act to be performed, it is largely inconsequential. Characters will also occasionally reference how many times you've had sex in a certain position during story events. For example, Ashley refers to how many times she and the player character have had vaginal sex when complaining that she's not pregnant yet, and the player character finds it odd that she kept track.

Most acts will be available in a girl's room, but specific acts for some girls may only be available somewhere else, such as in the hotel lobby, at the beach, or at the cafe.

Lastly, each girl has a set of Traits that they can obtain by performing individual acts (or in the case of Lust, a series of acts) 10 times. Unlocking certain events may require further stat increase after earning the trait; game dialog will indicate which stat, if so. Kali's unique Thighjob has no Trait associated with it, but does apply to Sluttiness and the generic trait Mega Slut
