The Headmaster: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
(Updated 2025-10-31)

It’s becoming noticeable that we have a lot of people posting in this thread with the same type of questions. In an attempt to help these people (and also to help the sanity of everyone who keeps trying to help them ), I’ve tried to create a basic FAQ. Hope it helps!

What is the current version?

The current version of the game is 0.16.4. This is a small update to the previous version (0.16.3). It includes a new outfit for Sally, another punishment level (Level 4) for Liz, and a punishment scene with Liz, April, Alice and Cass. It also include additional lunch events in the cafeteria (with the girls wearing the new cafeteria uniform), 2 new Celebrity Love Archipelago episodes, and an extra scenes with Lucy in the Headmaster's house.


When is the next update? / What will be in the next update?

The next beta version (0.17) will be released on December 12, 2025. This will be followed by the main (patreon) version a week later, on December 19. The public release will be on January 16. (See below for the difference between the beta, main and public releases.) This version will continue the staff training storyline, another punishment level and public punishment for Debbie, and the start of the punishment systems for the Twins and Faye.

Note on the different releases: There are 3 releases of each new game version. Firstly the beta version, which is for higher-level patreons and (like all betas) usually has bugs in it. This is usually followed a week (or two) later by the main (patreon) release. The public version is made available a month after the main release. The public version is usually the same as the patreon version: there is no new content, but there may be bugfixes or UI improvements.

Updated 2025-10-31: updated with release dates for 0.17

I'm playing the game from the very beginning and the first interview with Mykock brought up a name: Rebecca Grant. I wonder if we ever gonna see her. Mykock also stated they wanted to bring more teachers (faculty member actually). I wouldn't mind seeing an art teacher, for instance.

 

[Haley Smith]

Oh I love new people because they are a source of support. But I'm going to beat MotherFuckers real quick.

If you are new I know this thread is long but would you please search for answers before asking them. If you are having issues with the RUTH and SALLY requirement please refrain from asking. The only way to fix that is to pay for the official package and wait between 30 to 60 days for the dev to implement the next update. Elsewise (someone please back me up) you will be muted.

 

[Dunfred]

I just found this out by trial & Error...

i thought that you needed to get a influence point from Sally to be able to remove the skirts.
You don't! Get the points from the Math, Science, & English teachers.

It was a major irritation for two day's, trying to get the key's when it was impossible because the skirts needed to be removed first.

 

[Havik79]

So with 0.6 it will let us spank the girls, so will that then fix the Sally 3 influence bug at that time or are we stuffed and need to redo the game.

There is no bug. If you made debbie a Prefect then you got all three points from Sally. The board meeting will update next update and the rule will unlock.

will the next update be out before Christmas

 

[AltosandHerdone]

Christmas?! I would love to take that long. My biggest gap between updates so far has been six weeks.

 

[ltpika]

Appreciate that. Hey, any chance we can have "open lake" and having possession of the keys to the cheat menu? I think it'd cut down on questions in the thread from people having trouble with those steps.

a link in the op to phil's excellent FAQ post would be great, too.

 

[Havik79]

OK cool, just wanted to check so I had time to redo if needed.

 

[yuserneim]

A lot of fun ideas crossed my mind when I read the words "Christmas" and "update"

Take all the time you need, this game is awesome!

 

[jamdan]

So, some general questions. This is what I have done so far.



I know the Staff Quests are Mr.Wilson and his pills.
One of the patrol events is the new one from this update with the maid girl.

Are the part 2 of Emily Lost Skirt and Maxine Protest in the game yet?

I did the Twin quest from this update, but its doesn't show that on here.

 

[yuserneim]

I know the Staff Quests are Mr.Wilson and his pills.

The 4 staff events are related to Priti and Wilson, yeah.

One of the patrol events is the new one from this update with the maid girl.

The week patrol event is the one you mention (with Lucy) She needs to have seen your D when she ran you a bath.
The weekend one is the water fight with the girls (you need 25 popularity and it has two parts)

Are the part 2 of Emily Lost Skirt and Maxine Protest in the game yet?

Yes they are. You unlock the first after you're able to confiscate underwear that it isn't white. Make Em lose her skirt when she asks you for help then teach a lesson. The second is unlocked once Debbie becomes your prefect.

I did the Twin quest from this update, but its doesn't show that on here.

You need to click on the parts.

EDIT: The student quest you're missing is Amy's magazine pictures. The Others are : Drama night (go to the gym on wednesday nights) and the first dance lesson (gym on wednesday morning after you've named Trixie as a dance teacher)

 

[Haley Smith]

Stop.

 

[jamdan]

Yeah, those patrol events and the class one are just taking forever to trigger I guess. I meet all the requirements, but I keep getting other events. Thats one of the problems IMO, too many events makes it hard to get the ones you want. The chances of getting a specific event are quite low. I also think I've done the water fight, but it isn't showing as unlocked. The same thing happened with the drama night and I think the Emily one did too, Debbie has been my prefect for a while and I have all the rules unlocked.

 

[Dunfred]

i know that you want people to think and discover stuff but in your quests lists, when it tells you the "next step", its not really the next thing you need to do and that's confusing people.

For example

Spoiler: if a headmaster falls in the woods

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

and this is what i have

Spoiler: in the morning at the lake

in this case i am missing a step, and your quest notes are being misleading.
the next step is to try and pass corporal punishment allowing you to punish the girls. Then Ruth becomes available to talk to which you have to do before going to the lake and talk to the grounds keeper.

 

[bolenart]

So are we able to hold the vote on spanking the girls ourselves yet? I read about the bug in the FAQ above, but in what order am I supposed to do things to not cause the bug to happen? Should I max all the teachers before taming Debbie?

 

[Dunfred]

i did a lot of things out of order because i did not know that you do not need an influence point from sally to vote on removing the skirts, and spent HOURS trying to get that blasted key before it was available.
I did paper work one time and that was after i talked to Lucy, Then i held off doing paper work again until Debbie was lvl 4.
Because of that i completed things as soon as they were supposed to happen...again out of order. like Debbie being 4th lvl and she had not yet molested that girl. so only the one speach from her

As for us being able to spank the girls...next update...or so the text say's.
