==================
About the Game
==============
✦ Simulator of a real hotel
---------------------------
*   Manage your time: plan shifts, complete tasks, and choose who to spend the evening with whether it be the goddess of war or the ghost lady at the bar.
*   Mini-games for servicing guests: from check-in to... punishing rule breakers.
Improve your relationships with characters to unlock exclusive erotic scenes, secrets, and even new quests.  
✦ Social exploration and intrigue
---------------------------------
*   Sneak around, eavesdrop, and analyze. Every character has weaknesses, fetishes, and ulterior motives.
*   Collect “Key Phrases” from dialogues, events, and situations — use them to unlock unique lines, seduce, provoke, or blackmail.
*   Special “night events”: caught a guest performing a ritual, saw a portal under the bed, heard strange noises — you have a choice: intervene or... watch.
✦ Branched romantic arcs
------------------------
*   4 love routes with the main cast of characters and 4 relationship arcs with mysterious guests: from cute and awkward dates to domination, submission, monster girls, and forbidden pleasures.
*   Interacting with female NPCs affects the story — each one can be a lover, ally, enemy, or curse.
*   Bad decisions can lead to breakups, cheating, or even unique dark bed scenes that aren't available with the “right” gameplay.
❖ 12+ animated H-scenes with voice acting, smooth animation, and different emotional tones  
❖ Days and events system — every day brings new scenes, random encounters, and plot twists  
❖ High replayability: different choices lead to different scenes, relationships, and endings  
❖ Black humor, erotic, moral ambiguity, and a bit of horror  
❖ Full freedom of role-playing: if you want to be caring, authoritative, or indifferent, the game will adapt.

- Hardware Profile:
  - Summary: For the Windows <8GB VRAM cohort, the single included hardware-tagged review recommends the game but notes stability caveats.
  - Sample size: 40 (7% coverage)
  - Audience skew: Review sample is mostly Windows-based.
  - Windows <8GB VRAM (positive, 22 reports): The game is recommended on this setup, though players report background processes after quitting and occasional crashes.
  - Caveats: 40 of 547 reviews expose hardware metadata.; Review sample is mostly Windows-based.
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $8.00 - $11.00
  - Reasoning: The strongest concrete anchor is a positive review saying around 10 euros is worth it, which is roughly 10-11 USD. Another review accepts full price, while others call the game overpriced and say it is only worth buying with a 10-20% discount, and one says even a low price does not feel worth it. This places the community's fair base-game value below the current full-price level, with $10-11 as the upper anchor and discount-based fair value around $8-9.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 10.0h
  - Story completion: 7.0h
  - Session length: 1.0h
  - Endgame: 5.0h
  - Reasoning: A Japanese review reports clearing one playthrough in about 7 hours, supporting storyCompletion at roughly 7 hours. A Chinese review states that unlocking all CG takes about 10 hours across two playthroughs, supporting gameCompletion at roughly 10 hours for full/100% completion. Reviews mentioning playing for about an hour and refunding after that hour support a typical sessionLength of about 1 hour.
