We can no longer receive payments directly through Itch because they banned us from using this feature, so the way we found it was to sell on Patreon and generate an Itch download key for you there.
Wow! I am surprised they do this to their developers and community. Itch seems to have a resurgence of adult titles being sold. They are also a leading platform for this content. I have paid direct before on here. Seems like they need to offer their own payment processor like Steam/Gog. They still batch process there.
Will do! Was hoping to support Itch, but this was not nice. Great game btw (based on demo). I also hear Patreon is going after adult content. This is probably BlackRock etc inc. trying to kill small guys (and alternative revenue streams).
I'm not a professional VA or anything, but if you want I can help you out with a males voice. If you like my work you can pay me whatever you want. That's not what I am most concerned about. I can do several different voices, though I'm not really good with a British accent yet, still working on that.
Thank you for your interest in helping us. We consulted our patrons and they decided it was best to leave the voice acting for a later time. For now, let's focus on developing the next version. Keep following our project, we hope to continue bringing you good content. :)
Awesome! If you ever change your mind and decide to go ahead and do the voice route, I hope you keep me in mind. Keep up the great work making a great game!
When I first read this I thought "no need to be an ass about it", but considering I didn't mention that I read that post already and managed to skip over it because "oh yes, download page, ah okay" and stopped reading... fair enough and sorry for the inconvenience.
Sorry if the answer sounded rude, that wasn't the intention. I told you to read it because it's well explained there, including images showing what you should do. Reading the tutorial will help you much more than any answer I can give you in the comments.
Hello! I would like to ask a question, I bought the game quite some time ago and I understood that I could have access to version 0.3, is this correct?
I also wanted to know if those who bought the game before it came out on Steam have to buy it again or can some type of request be made? Thanks. Greetings!
Of course you can have access. v0.3 is available to everyone who purchased from Itch.io.
Due to some setbacks we had with Itch some time ago, we had to only make the demo available on our game's public page. But everyone who purchased is entitled to receive a download key that will take them to the paid version of the game. Here is a brief tutorial on what to do to gain access, if you haven't done so yet: https://masturbar.itch.io/living-in-a-brothel/devlog/519670/well-no-longer-sell-this-game-at-itchio
The version available here and on Steam is the same in terms of content, with slight modifications due to some Steam restrictions. The only difference is Steam Achievements, in case you are an achievement hunter.
I'm wondering if you've considered SubscribeStar as another outlet point?
I don't know the details of why Itch started blocking your payments, & you may well have your needs covered by Steam & Patreon, it just happens personally my (new since Itch did what it did) go-to for adult stuff is the aforementioned Subscribestar & they do seem really interested in catering to adult creators moreso than the other venues
Not the biggest fan of 3.0 so far with the long as backstory from the random bar dude. Other than that loved the previous two chapters enough to actually purchase this way back when it was still available on itch
Because Steam blocked the store pages of adult games in Germany but allowed to activate a Steam key of these games, is it possible to get a Steam key, when I pledge on Patreon?
really leaving itch? downside is I dont have a patreon account, luckily I see it will be available on steam. a bit of a bummer since itch is where I collect titles. regardless I bid loads of luck and no malice ;-)
dont have a patreon and no offense but I dont exactly trust it. I have itch and steam. I shall make due somewhere lol. I have been royally worked over a couple times with sites that dealt with adult game titles and it has costed me dearly. but I thank you grantly for informing me!
7/10 so far, I'd say. The English translation is bearable(which is more than I can say about some games I've played), but definitely needs a touch up. The artwork is pretty decent. There's something annoying about the page transitions, like unnecessary pages or how they transition... I can't quite put my finger on it. A way to know, like an icon or something, that you're on a portrait/poster picture the you can scroll on would be a nice addition. I like the aspect of the replay gallery and the songs with the option to turn the notification off. I think it would be better if there was a normal photo gallery and then a bonus photo gallery for the "secrets" found and such. A 'hide text' button is always a great feature to add. The idea of the plot regarding telling your story is intriguing. Kinda excited to see where that goes. The tutorials kinda seem like common sense, but would prob be really beneficial for someone playing their first VN. Although, I think some may need moved or re-implemented later in the game, i.e., the 18+ item tutorial since right now you don't even get close to that. Definitely has potential, though.
We are working on improving the English translation bit by bit as there is a lot of text to proofread. In the next update, some improvement will already be noticeable. As for the transitions, if they bother you, you can disable them in the options menu. As for the idea of including an icon or caption during the posters, that's something we might include in the future, thanks for the sugestion. As for the idea of separating the image gallery into two, it's something we've seen in other games, but we chose to leave them as one, due to lack of space in the menu. We're glad you enjoyed the other aspects of the game and hope you had fun with it. Thanks for the feedback, it helps us to improve. :)
So to clarify. If you bought the game from Itch.io, that you only get up to the version released on this website? Any further updates you have to signup to Patreon or buy from Steam?
EDIT - Just noticed the whole of Itch.io has essentially banned adult games! Sorry to hear this.
People who purchased from Itch.io will continue to receive updates as normal.
The only issue is that Itch has blocked us from taking payments over here, so we're taking payments through Patreon and generating a download key for the game here.
In short: Pay on Patreon, download on Itch.
The release on Steam is scheduled for September 12th.
It will be released together with the new version of the game.
Versions that were released after v0.2.0 brought several fixes and improvements to the game, if you don't have it yet, feel free to download it. Version 0.3.0 is currently in development and is almost ready to be released, it'll bring a lot of new content, so stay tuned.
When it is released, it'll also be available here for those who purchased it through Itch.
Anal is a fetish that is in the plans, feet worship is not planned yet, but we can think of a scene to include it later. As for the sideways doors, some renders were made to be viewed vertically, so just turn around your mobile 90º to see it in the correct perspective.
oh ok, i thought the doors being vertical were a bug in the game, i mentioned it cuz it just makes more sense for it to be horizontal rather than vertical on mobile, as for anal i would like if you can have anal sex with the black lawyer, or any other girl
hello developers! I have to tell you that your game is amazing and I look forward to every update. However, I must ask you the following, I currently have android version 0.1.6, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get the most current version for said platform, if I'm not mistaken it's version 0.2.1, correct? which has "day 3" which is not in the version I currently have. The download links always take me to version 0.1.6, could you update the links? Thank you!
I must have missed something in the tutorial or don't understand where to put the size that the owner bought for the bar. After coming back to the bar, how & where are you supposed place the sign? I have been all over that area and don't get any interactive red arrows on where to place the sign. If it is supposed to be put on the outside of the bar above that door, how do you get to the street since I have not been given any window to click on?
I have your game wish-listed on Steam but would like to play your demo to see if I want to purchase when it is released. Thanks for any help
That's weird! It's a completely unexpected behavior.
There's no error screen or something like that? Does that just send you to the title screen?
If so, it could be that your download got corrupted. This is the first time that any user has reported something like this and, in our tests on Android, we did not detect any problems like this.
Could you try to download it again and try to install using another apk installer app? We really don't see any reason why the game wouldn't work on your mobile. Is it a very old device?
I'm not sure what the problem is but my phone is only a model from 2020 and I fully deleted and downloaded it a few times before I said something also it kicks me all the way back to the home screen of my phone
The game is great. No doubt on it. However it can be improve. Although I want the Ep2, we can improve it right devs? For the next update. I suggest that make it like a real video. Not like a moving pic or something. Just keep improving. There's always room for improving. But we need the update ASAP. I appreciate this game. It's great.
Also, the issue on android. The screen's kinda on the horizontal at some point. Work that on one alright?
If you have a sex scene that occurs vertically, just use the same mechanics of rotating your mobile 90º.
Did you have problems with RAM use in your mobile? Or did you mean disk space? We optimize the game to run smoothly on mobiles, with low use of RAM. If you have referred to disk space, there is not much what can be done, as the game has plenty of content.
Awesome game! Would i have to join patreon in order to get the full game or is there a one time payment and if so how can I buy? As i currently play it on android I've only done the demo but definitely want to keep playing and would like to have access to the full game. Also planning to buy it off of steam as well once i get the chance.
Unfortunately, we no longer have ways to receive payments through Itch. However, we have come up with a way to continue offering the one time payment for the full game deal.

Bought the game ~1 yr ago, but when I click on my download link it just shows v0.1.7? Shouldn't I have access to newer versions?
Your question is already answered in the page.
Read it and you'll find out.
Thanks for the quick answer.

Good sugestion.
We will study the platform's criteria and see if it would be viable for us.
Thanks for playing!
just wondering if the full game will be released for free to public
Unfortunately not.
Only episode 1 will be made available for free to the public.
Is there futa or femdom in this game? thanks!
Futa is not planned, femdom is not there for now, but it'll come in the future, as some of the characters will be more dominant.
Not the biggest fan of 3.0 so far with the long as backstory from the random bar dude. Other than that loved the previous two chapters enough to actually purchase this way back when it was still available on itch
Because Steam blocked the store pages of adult games in Germany but allowed to activate a Steam key of these games, is it possible to get a Steam key, when I pledge on Patreon?
It's not implemented yet, but patrons will soon receive a Steam Key as well.
For now, we are waiting for Steam to approve the keys to give to our patrons.
Expect news on this very soon.
Hello 73red,
The Steam key has already been implemented as a $10 reward for our patrons.
You can follow this tutorial to gain access to your Steam key: https://www.patreon.com/posts/75512700
We hope you have fun! ^^
Thank you very much,
TOMORROW'S THE BIG DAY!
TODAY IS THE BIG DAY! 🍻
really leaving itch? downside is I dont have a patreon account, luckily I see it will be available on steam. a bit of a bummer since itch is where I collect titles. regardless I bid loads of luck and no malice ;-)
We're not leaving Itch.
The platform has blocked us from receiving payments, but you can still get a key to the game here by sending us payment through Patreon.
Have a look at this link if you are interested: https://www.patreon.com/posts/75512700
Thanks for playing! :)
dont have a patreon and no offense but I dont exactly trust it. I have itch and steam. I shall make due somewhere lol. I have been royally worked over a couple times with sites that dealt with adult game titles and it has costed me dearly. but I thank you grantly for informing me!
If you don't trust Patreon, you can buy it on Steam.
The game will be released there on September 12th, and the business model is similar to Itch's.
Thanks! I'll hunt it down and add it to my wishlist!
the first episode definitely makes you wanting more cant wait for the next episode to be released! standing ovation here
We're very close to the release of v0.3.
It'll be released on September 12th.
Stay tuned! ;)
Eu aman este jogo
Thanks for playing :)

Understandable. I know there's loads and loads of text to look over when it comes to these games.
At the end I couldn't remember what it was that bothered me, but I'll keep note of that option when I continue.
You're very welcome. I think something like that would be really helpful.
That makes sense. What about having separate tabs inside of the gallery itself, instead of the main menu?
I definitely did. The games potential is massive. excited for the completion of it.
So to clarify. If you bought the game from Itch.io, that you only get up to the version released on this website? Any further updates you have to signup to Patreon or buy from Steam?
EDIT - Just noticed the whole of Itch.io has essentially banned adult games! Sorry to hear this.
Time to create a second Steam account.

Hello I bought the game before like 5-6 months ago and I don't receive any updates
Hi vaggelisker,
The last released version was v0.2.6 and is available for everyone who purchased it.
Take a look at the paid version page: https://masturbar.itch.io/living-in-a-brothel-download-key
Versions that were released after v0.2.0 brought several fixes and improvements to the game, if you don't have it yet, feel free to download it.
Version 0.3.0 is currently in development and is almost ready to be released, it'll bring a lot of new content, so stay tuned.
When it is released, it'll also be available here for those who purchased it through Itch.
will you include anal, feet worship, also why does the hotel show the doors sideways b4 exiting a room
Anal is a fetish that is in the plans, feet worship is not planned yet, but we can think of a scene to include it later.
As for the sideways doors, some renders were made to be viewed vertically, so just turn around your mobile 90º to see it in the correct perspective.
oh ok, i thought the doors being vertical were a bug in the game, i mentioned it cuz it just makes more sense for it to be horizontal rather than vertical on mobile, as for anal i would like if you can have anal sex with the black lawyer, or any other girl
I bought this here awhile ago been several months. Just curious, you have release for steam i have wishlisted
We haven't released there yet. We'll release on Steam along with the v0.3.0 update.
nice ok
Hi JuampaPasternac!
The current version is v0.2.6 and, yes, it's the one that have "day 3" in it.
Previously, we sold this version directly on this page through Itch, but we had a problem with the platform and had to stop selling it here.
If you want access to it, just support us on Patreon.
Please follow the steps explained on this page to gain access to v0.2.6:

Hi, BubbaJ98!
You have to hang it just above the bar's entrance door.
First, you should click here:
Then, you should click here:
Thanks for playing! ^^
Thank you very much. I appreciate your fast response...
The game seems amazing but every time I click to start the game I get to the mature content warning and then it crashes
What platform are you playing on?
Do you have a screenshot so we can better visualize the problem?
Right after I tap the screen it completely kicks me out back to my home screen every time Im on Android
That's weird!
It's a completely unexpected behavior.
There's no error screen or something like that?
Does that just send you to the title screen?
If so, it could be that your download got corrupted.
This is the first time that any user has reported something like this and, in our tests on Android, we did not detect any problems like this.

That's weird!
This could be some unknown incompatibility with your specific device.
The only suggestion we can give you is to try to play on a PC, if that's possible for you.
Sorry for the incovenience.
The game is great. No doubt on it. However it can be improve. Although I want the Ep2, we can improve it right devs? For the next update. I suggest that make it like a real video. Not like a moving pic or something. Just keep improving. There's always room for improving. But we need the update ASAP. I appreciate this game. It's great.
Also, the issue on android. The screen's kinda on the horizontal at some point. Work that on one alright?
Hi, Vinbermudez!
We're already working on the development of version 0.3, at the moment this is about 50% complete.
Could you explain better about the Android issue you mentioned?
What do you mean by "screen on horizontal"?
Thanks for playing! :)
Well on the fridge area on room 206. Also some bathroom as well.
On room of the girl need a cat girl cosplay as well. Not much info but let me have some rooms as well.
Also in the s* scene, improve it as well.
It was intentionally meant to be that way.
Some renders are best seen vertically, just turn your mobile 90° to see the scene as it should be.
Ah. I thought it was a bug or something, but thanks for explaining it. However if there's a s* scene on bathroom, how it will come?
Anyways, keep the work up. And atleast make it memory friendly. Meaning atleast smaller memory capacity needed. If you got my point.
Keet it up guys.
If you have a sex scene that occurs vertically, just use the same mechanics of rotating your mobile 90º.
Did you have problems with RAM use in your mobile? Or did you mean disk space?
We optimize the game to run smoothly on mobiles, with low use of RAM.
If you have referred to disk space, there is not much what can be done, as the game has plenty of content.
Hey amazing devs, are we going to see more characters in the future? (please say yes 🤩)
Sure, but we'll explore more the characters that already are in the game.
Probably they'll be just NPCs in majority, with some nsfw gallery images featuring them to unlock.
Awesome game! Would i have to join patreon in order to get the full game or is there a one time payment and if so how can I buy? As i currently play it on android I've only done the demo but definitely want to keep playing and would like to have access to the full game. Also planning to buy it off of steam as well once i get the chance.
Hi TlalocKing!
Unfortunately, we no longer have ways to receive payments through Itch.
However, we have come up with a way to continue offering the one time payment for the full game deal.
Follow the steps below:
By doing so, a Download Key will be automatically generated, which will give you access to current and future versions of the game.
Thanks for playing our game! ^^
