Homebody Hostess

Great art, love the game-play mechanics, cant get over the story and how much ugly bastard there is and abuse. nonredeemable abuse, and very linear story, even if you earn 1.5m in a single night the game acts like you didn't do ♥♥♥♥.

I really enjoyed the art style on this one and hostess character for this H game. Also really surprised with the game. While I have burned out of most roguelites, this one had a new 'wheel of fortune' twist that made it enjoyable. That being said I barely understood how it works and just kept taking positive cards for the my plays. There is some strategy but not a lot is required to win rounds. I usually say get it at a discount but this one is worth it at full price but even more on a discount.

Homebody Hostess is an intriguing blend of visual novel storytelling and roguelite card-based gameplay that explores a setting rarely used as the foundation for a game. Developed by Maker製造機 and 樹懶叫工作室 and published by Mango Party, LewdLoco, and Mango Party News, the game follows Aki, a 24-year-old woman who has unexpectedly become one of the leading hostesses in an upscale club despite her naturally reserved personality. Forced into the profession by severe financial problems and family debt, she must navigate a demanding social environment while trying to secure a better future for herself and those she cares about. The game's narrative immediately stands out because it focuses on the emotional and financial pressures behind the glamorous image of nightlife entertainment. Aki is not portrayed as someone who effortlessly thrives in the spotlight. Instead, she is a character constantly balancing personal discomfort against professional expectations. This creates a compelling foundation for the story, allowing players to witness the sacrifices required to maintain success in a profession built around charm, conversation, and emotional intelligence. Her journey feels more personal t…

Not bad, kinda cruel... but the animation artwork is amazing.

The character is very beautiful and the gameplay loop is very fun and interactive, but Ugly Bastard and a ton of abuse? No thanks, I absolutely HATE the way the "antagonist" behaves and honestly it ruins everything knowing it has to deal with that character. Can't even enjoy the scenes because if you're a story enjoyer you HAVE to deal with that. What's worse is there's no redemption and there's no support for the MC.

Spoilers ahead. My opinion is very mixed on this game. As the gameplay goes I found it very fun and I wish there was an endless mode or more levels to play. The story on the other hand is very..bad. I enjoy my share of these games and come across a lot of just ridiculous content and this is very high up there. The best thing to happen in the story was probably Wade buying Aki from her parents and you think he'll redeem himself as a character but that doesn't happen and you just have Aki somehow happy as just a sex toy. Not to mention her voice lines during the abuse its just cringe. Other than that I enjoyed this game a lot and I really enjoyed the artstyle, minus the breasts the size of planets. If you do not mind the story I highly recommend this game to anyone looking to buy it.
