Harem Residence, Android and JoiPlay


How to play Harem Residence in your Android phone/tablet using JoiPlay.

DISCLAIMER: Harem Residence wasn't built taking in consideration mobile platforms, like your phone or tablet. I can't guarantee that the game will be fully playable using this method, but it's the second best alternative for the time being.

Also, it is important to say that I personally didn't knew of this app before trying this. If this method doesn't work for you, try again. And if it still doesn't, then I'm sorry to say that there's not much I can do about it.

1. Download the current version of the game for WINDOWS/LINUX. You can do this either in your phone or PC.

2. Extract the game files somewhere.

3. Copy the game files to your phone's internal storage.

4. Go to the Play Store and search for the app JoiPlay (by JoiPlay) and install it.

5. Open the app and go through it's welcome screen. Accept it's Terms & Conditions, their Privacy Policy and give it permission to access your phone's storage.

6. Press the (+) button and input:

Game Name: Harem Residence

Version: Current version of the game (Example: 0.05)

Executable File: Go to where you copied the game in your storage, and select "Harem Residence.exe"

Icon: Leave it be

7. Press the "Add" button.

8. Attempt to launch the game using the icon above, it'll tell you that you need a Ren'Py Plugin to play the game. Hit "Install" and install the plugin from the Play Store.

9. Attempt to launch the game again and give Ren'Py Plugin for JoiPlay permission to access your storage.

10. Close Harem Residence through it's "Exit" button.

11. Attempt to launch the game again.

12. ?????

13. Profit!

I have tested this with my Moto G4, which is a pretty old phone already, and seems to be working relatively fine.

Something that I have noticed, however, is that it moved the Quick Menu to the center and it automatically skips transitions. Transitions make the game a bit more visually attractive. For the time being you'll have to play without them.

Also, I recommend closing the game through it's "Exit" button just in case.
