A short look at Male Doll’s new project in progress, Cumming Hotel - A Gay Monsters’ Life.

Cumming Hotel - A Gay Monsters’ Life is slice of life RPG involving the life of two monsters in an open relationship. After getting married, Bruce, a gray wolf man, and Kyle, a purple spider man decided to manage a hotel near Horny Tower, which is a dungeon, cursed with perverted enchantments on each floor, that adventurers come to explore. They’ll need to earn 500,000 rupes by the 31st day to pay for the hotel’s installments and they’re willing to provide naughty services for hotel guests and monsters within the tower to get the job done. The game is still in development, so you only get to play up to seven days in this build.

Compared to Male Doll’s previous RPGs, such as Yuki’s Tale and Agent Lovesdick, Cumming Hotel - A Gay Monsters' Life has mixed gameplay and losing conditions that you can choose. Near the start of this build, Kyle will ask what negative affect in their relationship is completely unacceptable. Three options will appear: “Burnout at Work,” “Break the Trust,” and “Repress the Desire.” These are the losing conditions that you can choose from. The Burnout at Work condition ends the game when couple’s stamina reaches zero. Breaking the Trust occurs when then their trust in each other is below twenty points and desire is above five hundred points at the same time. Repress the Desire condition ends the game if the couple’s desire is over a thousand points. If you want to increase your difficulty, you can also choose more than one losing condition. You can find the stats for your conditions in the menu.

Instead of playing as a single protagonist on an adventure, this RPG will have you swapping between Kyle and Bruce. During the day, Bruce will be in charge of hotel management. Bruce’s part of the game will involve you hiring hotel staff, choosing the dinner menu, expanding the kitchen, and providing services for guests. Expanding the kitchen will give you new recipes to prepare for your guests. The dishes can only be made if you have the right ingredients.

The the services you give are just scenes, but you need to fulfill stat requirements to accept them. Each needs you to have a certain amount of points in desire, stamina, and trust. After completing a part of the person’s request, you’ll receive a reward and stat changes. Services are available on specific days and during specific times. Each request has three parts, with each part more sexual than the last. The first part is meant to be tame, but the second part gets more erotic. Only the first part of services and the second part of Kyle’s massage service are available to play.

At night, Kyle will go to Horny Tower to fight monsters and find ingredients. When playing as Kyle, the game becomes an RPG with turn-based combat and no random encounters. Both Kyle and Bruce start at level fifteen and have their own abilities, so they are fairly strong. Kyle can get ingredients by finding them in small bushes and gardens or fighting enemies.

In Horny Tower, orcs are the only enemies available as of right now. They are visible while exploring the dungeon, so they are avoidable. However, since some areas are very narrow, the orcs can sometimes be near impossible to avoid. Defeating them can be easy with skills, but not with your regular attack. Grinding levels off of them is very time consuming.

Besides fighting, Kyle can also go to the village at night. As with any RPG, you can buy and sell items at the shop. You can also get items that will increase or decrease certain amounts of your desire, stamina, or trust. Using these can help you reach service requirements much easier. While, Bruce’s services stay within the hotel, Kyle’s can be found in Horny Tower and the village bar.

Cumming Hotel - A Gay Monsters’ Life is currently a bare-bones slice of life RPG in progress. It looks similar to Male Doll’s previous games, but the slice of life aspect and the hotel management mechanic makes it less linear than other works. It is far from complete and there are only five scenes available at the moment, so there’s not much content. It may help the game if there was a section to keep track of services in the menu, since the only way to know about its requirements and availability is by talking to the NPC making the request. A bigger variety of monsters more space to move in Horny Tower would also make exploring the dungeon a better experience.

You can play the unstable demo build of Cumming Hotel - A Gay Monsters’ Life on Itch.io.
