I love the concept and the initial build is rather well done! I'm excited to see where this goes in future builds. Some advice, watch put for implementing too many "time wasters". My only real gripes came from the morning routine of putting clothes on, eating breakfast, and stopping to hear the front desk say good morning. On day 1 these things are fine, but by day 25 they are very annoying. Take getting dressed for example, there isn't any change of outfit I can choose and no repercussions to walking out nude so having to get up and hit the dresser every morning is just tedious for the sake of being tedious, same with eating breakfast every morning, same with stopping to hear the front desk send me off. None of those things add any real substance to what the player is doing other than to stop the game for a moment to pad the runtime. If there were changes of outfit, or a punishment for leaving my room nude then that would make sense. If there were buffs or choices I miss out on for not eating breakfast that would make sense. Even if the front desk just played the heart emoji as I walked out instead of a full stop dialog its understandable and doesn't require the player to stop.
On the flip side, I actually enjoyed the grind and tediousness of handling my staff. Coming in for the 4th day in a row to find that 3/4 of them royally screwed up felt fine. Yes it was repetitive, but it felt like every time I disciplined them there was some kind of progression. I just wish that after catching Vivian sleeping on the job for the 5th day in a row, I didn't get in trouble for absolutly blistering her ass.
On that note this game offered a rather interesting and unique experience I haven't felt compelled to do in any other spanky game, and that is to turn it into a "drinking" game of sorts. Whenever you get punished for overstepping your authority or Messing up court judgments, self spank irl to the tune you get it in game. It was surprisingly entertaining, I used my wooden paddle to do it. It's only like 20 swats every time and there's enough time between punishments (of you try at all) that it's not crazy. Honestly if you play this with friends you can tie each person to a character and when they get punished, the person gets the same irl. Would be kind of a fun party game especially once you really develop the court system to be more difficult and expansive.
