好玩，爱玩

I originally wrote a review at just under 4h of playtime and said I was probably barely scratching the surface of what this game had on offer. I now have 26h of playtime, and that includes save-scumming for endings and various achievements, without having even touched New Game+ for the achievements I'm missing yet. I can therefore say I was definitely right in my initial thoughts. Now, how you feel about that playtime is going to depend heavily on how you regard both visual novels and management/simulation titles, because this game is a blend of both. Large chunks of VN content, especially in certain chapters, followed by large portions of managing the hotel and your Action Points. Personally, I am quite surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this title. It definitely has flaws, but I was invested throughout. The story is very much catered to those interested in the supernatural, featuring many different culture's mythologies, along with a huge serving of Lovecraftian elements, and some science-fiction thrown in too. There are a lot of names and terms used in this game, where it does mostly expect you to know what they are before-hand. Some more niche things do get explained, and the English localisation does have some notes about certain Chinese proverbs and sayings, but if you go in completely blind, you will likely have a very hard time understanding what is actually going on or being said. I will also say that the pacing at certain sections is a bit off, with huge chunks of VN content into a Carnival, into another huge chunk of VN content. Save whenever you can, especially towards the end of each in-game week. Note: I know a lot of people will be put off by the (clearly) MTL English localisation, but it didn't bother me, given I'm kind of used to it from much bigger Chinese devs (*cough* MiHoYo). Haa Lou Ying does stand-out here, but that's more an issue with English not having regional dialects in the way China does. Personally though, I loved it, and I also loved how each of the 4 main girls were not only wholly unique in visual style and characterisation, but also tied in to various different mythologies and aspects. This even extends to some recurring NPCs and other story characters. In regards to the girls, all of them were great, although Yevna did take a while to grow on me. I was also surprised that their "affinity invitations" did not wholly focus on romance, but also delved into a whole myriad of topics, with the game not shying away from the dark or macabre. Some of them were quite shocking, yet done in a way that fit the girls' personalities. By the way, if you're expecting R18 in this game for the romances, it does not have it. Like with other elements, each romance/affinity with each girl fit their character, and felt believable. A lot of the endings will also depend on your affinity with each girl and whether you've played more into their traits. Moving on to the other core gameplay, which is the hotel management, it honestly surprised me with how in-depth it got later on. You only get 1 Action Point to use during the day, and then again during the night, with certain activities being locked to specific times of day (mostly night-time). You can get "Oracles" later on, which give you 2 AP per day and per night (so 4 total), and some Energy Drinks that can be used for 1 extra AP, but those come later and are not guaranteed. You then have to decide on what to do. Do you raise affinity with the girls? Do you create or upgrade new rooms? Do you go exploring or mining? Do you rest to regain Sanity? Do you clean the Hotel? Depending on how you play it, will lead to different outcomes and endings in the story. You then also have Alchemy and Cooking mini-games, with Alchemy playing a huge part if you want to progress through certain story elements, or participate in the monthly Carnivals that sell Extra-Items (that provide passive buffs). Definitely get a grasp on Alchemy and Soul-Gathering early on, as it will potentially save you a lot of hassle in the later sections. There are also mini-quests from various guests that visit the Hotel, whether selling them Alchemy ingredients, Food, or Materials in order to receive Gold or extra Oracles on-top of the daily one. There's also a handy shop that you will want to upgrade as soon as you can. Overall, this is a gem of a game, and I kind of feel bad waiting for it to go on sale to save that £2-3. It's more than worth the original asking price in my opinion. Great main story, great side stories, interesting characters. Least regrettable Steam purchase.

玩完了人生第一款galgame，应该算是galgame吧，感慨还是良多的，先说缺点吧，后期有点太过无聊了，角色好感全12后我直接休息餐厅也懒得管了，前期缺资源，后期完全不缺资源，行动力1感觉玩起来有点难受的，虽然后期喝饮料后完全不缺。再说优点，作为国产算是非常好的，虽然我玩的不多。玩到后面结尾的时候有点伤感的，毕竟第一款玩完有点怅然若失的。（我本人玩游戏只玩好结局，所以玩之前会特意查下攻略，感觉还是比较好入手的）（为特里波卡，零，小叶子，耶芙娜献上心脏，我大概一辈子都不会忘了这款游戏吧）

院神牛逼

太好玩了你知道吗

玩着玩着突然就被抓走做咖啡店猫去了，我还没存档，一晚上的进度就这么没了。。。

院神牛* 23个小时打完一二周目全成就，分享一下个人体会： 一周目除了图鉴开不齐全是可以全收集的，第三页第四张零的cg要26周前过好感5的剧情。 游戏比较简单，犹格索托斯的炼金工房，拿到 1星的炼金术士之骨 就可以电表倒转，不缺炼金沉淀物和材料，用餐厅和炼金撑住前期收入，拿 5星群山的赠予 保持全程探索，很缺诅咒木头，商店赎罪卷屯够六张刷结局即可。开了嘉年华后拿 多产 和 伊欧德的复眼 去物理宰客，另一张5星伊欧德的神谕让每次灵魂炼金的产量从2990升到5000+，拍品最终成交价普遍是底价的3到4倍，拍品从300的底价到3000。5w左右的灵魂就可以换完全部拍品，最重要的是翡翠手链和无限泡沫，神谕看到泡泡和大象直接选，缺钱选达贡，屠杀拿伊欧德，12种类之后就拿不了只能升星了，至高神谕关于餐厅拍卖挖矿san值的全不用选，结局刷结局可以顺带刷至高神谕，会保留二周目的图鉴，至高神谕关于行动力的首选，夜晚的行动力比白天的更珍贵，其次是选多产和加楼层，空余的行动力可以扫地，休息，拿去拉好感，开幻境泡。等到40+week，多产，5楼和幻境泡，经营策略选有道具的客人，白天用炼金沉淀物召唤术和餐厅拉客，晚上一轮就能让前台小妹突突几百人，宰出十几点行动力，一堆材料，一堆家政卷，一堆圣水，庭院数值就爆了，想要什么自己填，这时候用行动力刷好感完全够，这个过程可以适当提前，从掉出7到8瓶行动力的时候就可以开始了。 白天：召唤术拉人（一次最多不超过1000人） 晚上：先屠杀，用行动力，然后山地探索和挖矿开幻境泡 从0开始开幻境泡要不了2个week。 我是从45week开的幻境泡，5f和幻境泡不开满没成就，呱！特莉波卡救我呀！ 总之院神很牛*，我喜欢大团圆( •̀ ω •́ )y
