Bug fixes. Also, I think, upgrades related to crops grown in garden.

Is the text machine translated to English from some other language? I find the text quite hard to understand.
I’m just guessing you downloaded the new version of game and want to know how to continue from the save made in previous version? If so, you should say what platform you are using and what is the old version and new. I play on Linux, and unpacked the new version to new folder, then copied save files from game/saves from old directory to new to the same place.
Dates on the files on Harem Hotel v0.18.1 Patch Notes are old, from 2018 and 2021.
There is Patch 0.17+ -> 0.18.1 (Requires 0.17+), that seems to apply to patching 0.18 to 0.18.1, but the patch note says nothing about how to apply the patch. I play on Linux, is the patch only for Windows?

OK, I downloaded the patch file and in the zip there is file READ_ME.txt that tells how to install the patch. I think that works also on Linux.
Is the game mostly free
Game is completely free. You can read the game description above on this page, developer writes game is free. Developer accepts payments to fund the developmentm, though.
is it just a demo?
Game is not complete yet, but it has content for 100 hours of play time. You might consider current game is a demo. It probably takes years before game is complete.
Testing on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.
The extracted script file “Wicked Maidens Linux.sh” needs setting it executable.
chmod u+x “Wicked Maidens Linux.sh”
With that starts OK. But it might be good if the file name had no space characters, so WickedMaidensLinux.sh or Wicked_Maidens_Linux.sh.
Is there intro or something when starting new game? It seems to autoplay and texts go so fast I do not have time to read them. Setting Auto Speed to larger value does not help.
I quit that game and started new game again. This time it seems better. Seems the Auto Speed did not take effect until I started again or maybe not. And now game goes to next scene only after I click, this is much better.
I spotted typos, “i can finally check” should be uppercase I.
The .sh file is OK, it just sets some environtment variables, sets executable bit to the game file and starts the game file, so it is very small. This seems to be 64-bit version, so it does not work on 32-bit Linux, but I guess not many of those around anymore.
Is there a hotkey that starts autoplay? I got it going again, but do not know how.
I played around for half an hour, game seems OK on Ubuntu Linux 24.04 except those little issues I mentioned above.
Nice work.
Also Can I continue story without leveling Maria or characters I don’t like up ?
Not really. The girls stories are dependent on each other, so at some point you can not progress story unless you level up the others.
You seem very eager to play this game but dislike it profusely. Seems something a masochist would do.
What version of Harem Hotel are you playing? On which OS?
Did you start a new game with 0.18 or continued from save made on older version?
Did you play beta versions before official 0.18? That messes old save, I have read on Discord and this forum.
What is this door glitch?
Have you played the game far enough that Ashley and Maria have moved to the hotel? They are not there at the beginning.
If you have only 4 rooms occupied, you are nowhere near finishing the game.
I don’t use Windows, I play on Linux but here are some suggestions:
Download again, make sure downloaded file is complete and error free.
Remove the current installed files and unzip the package, watch out for any error or warning messages displayed.
Try starting game.
Windows users have had problems with antivirus or some such preventing game running, but you got it started so maybe that is not the issue. Some have reported it matters in which directory game is installed, but I do not know Windows stuff.
Testing on Ubuntu 22.04, works but video is not shown.
On version 0.18 Linux version just displayed “Now Loading …” and game was stuck there when video should start.
Windows version 0.19.4 works a bit better, game is not stuck but instead of video playing there is just what looks like test pattern. The GUI is shown and works, I can “progress” in the video and the bar goes forward. Game does not get stuck, but test pattern instead of video.
I have Steam installed on this host, I start the game with proton-call –proton 8.0 –run Harem\ Party\ Adventures.exe
The console windows shows lots of messages like these:

Could the problem be the space character in the pathname in “/Proton 8.0/ part?
Perhaps players on Android read this page without images or are otherwise constrained so it is hard to find the instructions for Android. Now it is marked only with the image, which is very prominent. Maybe it is not visible always?
Anyway, to perhaps make it easier to find, I suggest adding line zero with text “How to play on android”. Then text search finds it, at least.
I read above on this page:
NOTE: Please note that, due to file limitations on itch, the online version won’t have any media displayed on sex scenes. HOWEVER, the files are in the offline version, so for the complete experience I recommend to download the offline version.
Funny how much it is possible to learn by reading.
Testing again on Linux, Ubuntu 22.04.4.
Works OK, except video sequences. When video should play screen shows “Now Loading…” and game is stuck.
I tried running windows version under wine and Steam client, videos do not work but maybe useful info gained.
Running under Steam client with
LANG=C proton-call –proton 8.0 –run Harem\ Party\ Adventures.exe
when video should play there is what looks like test pattern and the GUI is shown and works. Music plays.
On console there are messages about Failed to load plugin. But those plugin files do exist. And are readable by user. Maybe the problem is space characters in directory name?

Or maybe problem is 32-bit Harem Party executable and 64-bit operating system?

I believe this is not about missing decoder, I have installed all video decoders in Ubuntu.
