Helping The Hotties - a new game
Hey guys! We have a special announcement to make. Remember the surprise we hinted at? It’s finally here!
We listened to your feedback and took your suggestions to heart, fundamentally rebuilding the narrative and improving the overall experience. Because of the amount of changes, we realized that this new experience deserved a more fitting name.
That's why we're proud to present our new game, the labor of many months of hard work - Helping The Hotties - a harem game where you play as the only male character in a camp full of curious, seductive, ladies. Will you find the right one for you or will you be able to handle all of them? Play the game to find out!
We want to give you the best experience possible, so here are some of the new features that have been implemented:
NEW 4K Visuals
All the original and new renders have been rebuilt from the ground up, re-rendered specifically to improve the visual fidelity of the game. All our focus went into the attention to detail needed to improve all renders and enhance the game's atmosphere with improved lighting and textures, and we hope you'll enjoy the huge improvement.
Mini-Games
If you’re feeling extra playful, try out some mini-games to play the scenes out in a more unconventional manner. If mini-games aren't your cup of tea, you can turn them on or off in the menu at any time.
Free Roam Mode vs. Visual Novel Mode
Another big feature we've added that changes the way it feels to play the game is a free roam mode toggle. If the sandbox type experience isn't how you like to play, and experience our games, then you can turn off free roam mode at any time from the menu–changing all free roam segments into multiple choice buttons that will skip past all the walking across camp.
Missions and Achievements
How attentive are you to your favorite character? Are you a good guy, or a bad guy? Complete all story missions to enjoy the rewards of your efforts. During the game, you’ll be making decisions which affect story outcomes and directly affect the achievements earned throughout the game. You decide what type of player you want to be, and unlock some hidden renders and animations.
In-Game Collectibles
Wanting to make the game a truly layered experience, we've added collectibles, in the form of panties, to the game! Of course we added panties! What else would you be collecting?Are you an expert panty raider, a completionist, or all of the above? Then you'll definitely find the in-game collectibles to be a welcome addition to your game, and be rewarded with special gallery image for each pantie you find.
Sounds and Music
Sound effects, as well as music, have been added throughout the whole game to make it into a more enjoyable experience. Maybe you'll even find something more than sounds and music we've been working on.
User Interface
New and improved interface to better suit the game’s theme and optimize player experience. It’s a fresh-looking, modern, just like our girls.
Other Technical Features
Apart from these major changes, many more smaller features have been implemented and more will come with each next update. We hope you like it as much as we do!
Bug Reporting System
Sure, it's not a part of the game itself, but to create a great, bug-free game, we need to have a system that will help us solve all the issues even faster. As we want to give you the best gaming experience, even with the game still in development, we take long and detailed testing of our games before they come out. For this episode of Helping the Hotties, we managed to prevent more than 300 different bugs from escaping into your playing experience. We are all pasionate gamers and we know how frustrating it is to be interupted in the middle of the game and then wait for some sort of a fix for a game that was supposedly ready for release. I hope I didn't just jinxed myself, but even if I did, be sure we will fix the problem as soon as you report it and we will release an update right away, so you can continue where you left off.
We've created multiple new channels for you to report any bugs you may find while playing the game. One of these new systems is a bug reporting (ticketing) system, integrated into our Discord server, while another is the support page of our new website which should be fixed in the coming days! You can still use Patreon to report bugs, or message us directly, and we'll do our best to help make your experience better.
New Patreon Tiers and a new 4K SPECIAL OFFER
We got a ton of questions following our "4K random renders" if we could make the whole game in 4K as well. That got us thinking, because that would really be a big challenge. We didn't want to just fake it with some Photoshop artificial upscaling, because that's not it. The difference is just too big. So we made a difficult decission and we create and rendered all of our images and animations in 4K. A whopping Terabyte of RAW files adjusted and made almost without any loses in quality, to create this 10 GB 4K beauty.
To share it with you, we created a new $25 tier that will feature our all new 4K version, and to celebrate everyone that contributed, we also created a LIMITED SPECIAL OFFER where you can get your 4K versions of a brand new Helping the Hotties with a 25% discount for as long as you stay. If you combine it with our yearly pledge disscount, you get a great deal.
$10 Patrons, we haven't forgoten about you. We managed to get you even MORE NEW STUFF, FOR THE SAME PRICE! New UI, minigames, Freroam ON/OFF button, Minigames ON/OFF button, panties collector, everything is also coming to you guys! And you know what? We'll even let you download the 4K version for the next 24 hours and then we'll release the FullHD version.
Oh yeah, and did we tell you that you can now find us on our webpage? It's xred.games so go and check it out.
The whole team did an astonishing job, especially durring the past couple of months. In my eyes they moved the mounain and I'm soo proud and happy to be working with these amazing hard working professionals.
Important Notice about SPECIAL OFFER: When the duration of this offer ends (on June 3rd, 2022), those who are or have entered this $20 tier will be locked in for good at this discounted (promotional) price of $20 and will receive all benefits as if they were a $25 supporter. If for any reason you leave this tier, you will not be able to rejoin this tier at the discounted promotional price.

Could somebody finish the mini-game with the sunscreen? It's impossible for me. Playing on Steam btw in case there is an update or something.
Hey Herpeton, we will be releasing an update on Steam sometime later next week. I do recommend checking if there's an update and also to check for file integrity inside of Steam properties just to make sure you have the latest update.
isn't this the same exact game as RedFalls?...... I'm confused lol
Well it's not exactly the same...
Same happens to me:(
Hey Jimbo, did you try the latest download links which should have fixed "maximum recursion" issue?
I cant really seem to play the game, no matter what i do i constantly get the "An exception has occured" Maximum recursion depth exceeded. Is there a fix to this? i cant even get past picking a cabin at the start of the game due to this happening
Hey Z, did you try the latest download links which should have fixed "maximum recursion" issue?
Hmmmm..... I didn't enjoy this. You have serious story issues now simply because a handful of people have a delusion of NtR because of a relationship between a man and his wife???? This feels like 1 step forward and 6 back simply for the sake of "Because we can". The renders and lewds are, and *ALWAYS* will be secondary to the story. The story MAKES the game. I hope you reconsider.
Thanks for your feedback Maabuss. We believe Paul was taking too much focus from the story and what the game is really about. We also believe this decission gives us more oportunities for the further development of the game in the direction we want, without an anchor like Paul in it. Paul is not the main character and the game is not about Paul. Our vision and plan is clear and we do hope you or anyone who may not like how the story looks at this moment, will give this game another chance once the story unravels.
Finished my playthrough, the additions of the diary and minigames is a nice step foward. The removal of Paul is a step backwards IMO. The begining of the game is especially boring compared to Red Fals where there was the immediate tension on the MC from him busting his balls. It doesn't help that Eve's writting is very boring. I'm no marketing genius but Helping The Hotties is a cringey title to me, Red Falls was a better title IMO. And just delete Janes voice acting, the recording is horrible and most of the acting is bad. AVN's don't need it.
Thanks for your input Dave! We'll make it better
Well after playing some I stand by my previous statements about the game. Where you used to have a well crafted story which was very engaging. We are now left with well for lack of a better word amazing art. Though without the story the art falls flat. Funny I went from being thanked on your supporters page to being given a big middle finger, and a FU for my trouble. I will be cancelling my pledge, and I only wish I could be reimbursed for the extra months I probably have left.
Hey Scott, sorry you feel that way. That certanly wasn't what our goal is or ever was. I hope you'll give the game another chance once it's more developed.
I'm waiting for Steam update to try it. I hope you right and being a better game. I was upset for 2 things: Thinking "Helping the Hotties" was a new game so I lost my money (I was wrong) and not knowing the rest of the story of "Red Falls". I hope loving the new game as much or even more as the old one.
Great animations and everything looks great. Problem is story feels off without Paul. Want to remove all NTR go for it. Though i dont think its NTR if he was the one fucking eve as it is his wife but i get some people want to ignore that and make fantasy thru the eyes of MC. But without him there is no tension or decent story. Changing camp from all boys to girls seems odd now. I assumed Paul made swap because eve fucked one of them. would that be the dreaded NTR sure, but it adds more to the story and makes it flow better. I mean yall understand she isnt a virgin and got drilled by another dude long before mc right. NTR or not was a much better game with paul in it to drive plot forward. Little unfortunate that it feels the devs caved to the people that cry cuck if god forbid another man makes an appearance in a game.
Thanks for your feedback Alll. All the decisions and changes we make are because we believe they will make the game better. That's why there is no Paul. Also, nothing good last forever, so MC will get some new challenges in the upcoming episodes which, from your perspective maybe makes no sense, but it will once you see what will happen.
I think I prefer Red Falls to this. So much so that I am thinking of cancelling my pledge. Maybe create both games
Hey Scott, thanks for your feedback. I suggest giving the game a try. Today we will finaly have a FullHD version out and I suggest you hit me up once you play it. I think you'll understant then why we wont be continuing with Red Falls. But whatever you decide, I'm definetly interested in why you don't prefer HH.
did you disable the roll back for a reason or is mine just bugged tried to roll back a scene to get the collectible and it did not work
some scenes (mini-games) are blocking rollback, other are not. There is a bug with jumping around when returning to the game which we found and fixed, but it's not yet uploaded. I will let you know once it's up. Sorry about that
I think there is a bug in the mini game of creaming Violet. Even if you make it to the end, you don't score because the time just keeps running.
I'll give it a look
What happen to the steam version i mean is it gonna be update into the new game or we have to buy it again?
Steam version of Red Falls will be updated to Helping the Hotties this upcoming week
It me it a big FU to the people that liked red falls like me
Yeah, I feel the same. I loved Red Falls.
so i'm confused will Red falls no longer be available on the patreon page ?
and if not is it ONLY going to be available at the 20$ rate ?
Very surprising. Red Falls was my favourite erotic game at the moment. I'm sure I will love the new version aswell though, so no complaints from me.
sure get back to us once you give it a run ;) would love to hear if it lived up to expectations
I am stunned. In itself, I didn't think the story was that bad, but of course I'm not averse to old ideas being thrown overboard in order to form something new out of what already exists. I am curious and look forward to the new.
Thanks Mostacho :)
Is this replacing Red Falls?
Red Falls is no more. Helping the Hotties took and changed a ton from Red Falls and I believe improved, so yeah, no more Red Falls, Helping the Hotties is here!
I just finishing playing a new game, catching up all my old saves from previous version up on Red Fall Ep6 while waiting for the new EP. I don't mind playing all over and look there I am in the " Thank You "
Thanks you Jonathan. It was a ton of work and there is still a ton of work in front of us. Did you notice anything new at the beginning of the game with Jane?
So how about Red Falls?
Red Falls is discontinued and replaced with Helping the Hotties. The changes to the game are so massive that we felt that it makes no sense to call it something that is not. Story-wise this is a new game and game-wise I believe as well.
Is this a new game that will replace Red Falls or you'll continue with both? Will this game include the same girls than RF or will be more? Will it be on Steam?
Red Falls is discontinued and we will only continue with Helping the Hotties. Currently the girls from RF are here, but more girls will come.
downloadin right now cant wait to see all the new stuff!
please do tell what you think about it once you're done with it
