Ren'Py - The Headmaster [v0.15.3.1 Public] [Altos and Herdone]

Ohy I can't believe I hadn't left 5 deserved stars right here, love the style of this game, and while the gameplay is simple and basic the whole context of it makes it work better than usual, for the simple fact that you're a literal headmaster and certainly that doesn't need much of it. Favourite art style so far, keep it up devs!

w0w never expect a game like this hooked up I love the game looks like I found another favorite game.

~>The story is interesting and eye candy 4 my taste.

~>I didn't expect that this kind of fetish is my cup of tea. (bloody hell looks like I found my another one of my fetish )

~>Each one of the students is definitely my cup of tea because it has unique personality and problems to solve


~>I love the music,background, and art .

I believe this is the best "MC is the Headmaster of a school" game out of the whole lot. For me the only two slightly negative things to say about the game are the current lack of anal and the outdated artstyle. Like I said those are my personal negatives and I'm sure the lack of anal content is going to change in future updates.

It is a great game. Usually I do not prefer this kind of graphical appearence but in the world of this game is authentical. There are lot of girls in this game. Story's main focus about punishing school girls and manage school but daily student life problems also fun.

Interesting experience. Normally I don't like sadism but I confess that I found the fusion of psychological interaction, investigation and punishment for "educational" purposes very captivating. The game offers a fair choice of roaming locations and a good number of random events which make the story more interesting. Animations of good level, the characterization of the characters is well cared for and allows a good identification. Insignificant little bugs that I think will be fixed in subsequent updates. Pleasant and quite varied music. The only negative note in my opinion is the cost on Patreon. $ 5 for the latest update seems excessive unless the target is only players from nations with high economic levels. In many countries today, 5 dollars is not a shortage.

V 0.6.2

I'd rate it 4.5 probably, there is a some content already but few real sex scenes so just check the tags to see if it's worth your time.

Good art
Very good scenes
I like the settings & fetishes
The story isn't prominent but just right
Good use of the engine, easy enough to navigate

It's softcore for now and the tension builds slowly, unlike most games with the same fetishes.

I have had so much fun with this game, and the most recent update I played with the "GoldenEye Watergun fight" was absolutely hilarious and an absolute blast to play through. This game has a lot going for it, and you do have to have some suspension of disbelief when playing as obviously the game setting/scenario would never happen in real life (but aren't most porn games like that?)

You take the role of a headmaster in a new school for women who have done some sort of criminal act and have been delegated to your special school in order to 'correct their behavior' and 'help them pass school'. The game at it's core is definitely a visual novel, but it's very well done in the way that it doesn't feel like a visual novel. Giving you several prompts on an overview of the school grounds, several choices that affect stats of your school overall, and different storylines between various characters.

There isn't a ton of 'penetrative' content, I believe there may be one scene if my memory serves me correctly, but the majority of content available is in my opinion very kinky/fetishy and makes up for there not being insane amounts of intercourse throughout the game. Punishing girls by spanking them, humiliating them, or 'pleasuring them' (lol sounds weird, but play the game and you'll see) is a fun and interesting way to develop an adult game and it's definitely unique in it's own way for this approach.

This is one of those games where I patiently await new updates because the story (while very unrealistic) is very fun, interesting, tongue-in-cheek, and most importantly self-aware.

I personally think this game deserves a playthrough for the 'GoldenEye WaterGun fight' alone. I don't think I've EVER laughed so hard or enjoyed an adult game for content that actually wasn't lewd in any way, ever.

If this game looks interesting to you, you should definitely try it, but be careful, it's definitely a time-waster in the best way possible and is easily one of my favorite games hosted on this site.

Ah yes, the game about a headmaster molesting disciplining his students....

It might be in the early stages of development, but this game has some serious potential.

(+)
-There is a unique backstory to the setting and all characters (which tend to get way to quirky sometimes)
-MC is quite likeable and humerous
-The game presents you with some (moral) descisions
-Lots of freedom and choices
-Babes and NSWF content are hot and don't fall short despite the story focus
-The game can be expanded easily, e.g. in terms of girls, which should ease development in the fuiture (despite its free-roam nature)

(-)
-Many core game mechanics, like the disciplining function are unfinished, the placeholders serve to give good impressions though
-Because the game tries to give players lots of freedom some events often repeat, which is inevitable in early development

One advice for the developer:
Please don't go too overboard with the quirkiness.
If game is just too ridiculous it breaks immersion for many people. Best try and appeal to a wide audience

Far as I know, that was a nice game to play. 3D rendering is awesome and I like the 2 main girls Debbie and Rachel. Obviouly, punishing progress are limited to those 2. I hope to see more soon. I would like to create a game like that myself but I don't have any programming knowledge.

The creator shows their love for this with every patch and it just gets better. Proud of be supporting this.
Even though the area isn't going to change, there is more then enough characters to have content going for ages. Each one with their own style.
I'm glad the updates aren't rushed.

Look forward to every update as I thoroughly enjoy every aspect from the excellent and intuitive gameplay with an easy to use interface, refreshingly original and immersive content to the beautifully modelled characters with well developed backgrounds/bios.

As of v0.6.1 Beta

So, fair warning, the game is silly. It knows how silly it is, embraces it and runs with it for a full marathon.

The Good.
A very decently looking Honey Select game. I admit I was impressed, the devs know how to use the platform.
The UI is clean and easy to use, you don't need to go through idiotic loops, just to check some minor thing.
The game is lighthearted and fun. Every time it goes full comedy it's hilarious.
The characters are nicely written. It won't be long and you will know them and what to expect of them.

The Bad
Most of the quests are very linear, forcing you to do specific things to progress. There is some variety, but as a whole, despite it's free-roam nature, it's a damn linear game. I'ts actually my only complain about it.

The Ugly.
The story is... well, the story is ok, but the premise of the story is something you come up with while drunk. It would have worked much better if it was just an unnamed country and not so obviously England.
Don't get me wrong, it's a functional premise and once you get past the fact, that the MC should have been jailed from the start... it's not that bad. I'm actually curious about what exactly is the organization that hired me and about everything else going on in that world. But... "Ain't enough students graduating, so we will strip them of basically all their rights..." just didn't work for me.

Conclusion: Barring the premise of the story, the game is fun, enjoyable and interesting. A little grindy at the start, when you have to do your damn best not to get a game-over and almost trivially easy after that. Still, it's a good game and I recommend it.

I was hesitant to try it first because this kind of art (anime like) didn't appeal to me, but I'm happy I gave it a try. I have found a game with good art, very well written, good interface and an interesting story where each character has each own personality.

One of the best games out there.

This is going in a great direction.
One of the best looking Illusion Models ive seen so far, the animations are nice and the writing is good.
Gameplay is engaging and it makes actually fun to find events and new information about the characters. There are a good amount of characters but not overwhelmingly many, like in some other games.

So far a excellent game, i do hope that the devs keep this great foundation and focus on content rather than try to make the game more "deep" with tons of new gameplay mechanics, noone needs in a porn game

I first tried this game with version 0.5.4

It has a lot of potential. I was expecting more content regarding the punishing aspect of the game but I got satisfied with all the side stuffs.

I can't wait to see how this game is gonna evolved. A strong base has been set and I can see all the signs of an awesome game, with interesting mechanics, and story that you actually want to read !

PS: omg Amy, what an angelic sexy face !

Not convinced

Well, to be honest I did not understand the hype around this game.
I almost gave up after 30 minutes, I didn't like it at all at first for many reasons. I gave a second chance the following night, it was sligthly more interesting...but still not convinced, I played like 2 hours in total, I have no idea how far I am in the current game, but anyway I will stop here.

--- Chara Design :
HS design and not even improved. Kinda Basic. A lot of variety of girls though. Their personality are quite stereotypical. We are supposed to see some character developpement, well... nothing striking so far.

--- Story/Background :
Ok let's put aside the setup of this game. It is just a weird excuse to put some spanking. I don't see what is great about that.
However, the story do progress more or less in a sensible way, with some side stories, and objectives to accomplish. The writing is ok.
The music is nice, probably the best feature of this game.

--- Animations/Sex Scene :
HS animations, plus some renders there or there. Maybe interesting for people who never played Honey Select...otherwise...

--- Gameplay/Contents :
Easy everlasting sandbox kind with some VN at times, it might become more complex at some point. I don't really like sandbox games, but here it is ok, I have seen worse. You have objectives to accomplish in whatever order you feel, it will take you weeks of spamming the same action at times, but thanks god sometimes the main story does interrupt your boring week with some scripted event.

I don't know if it is because I had the chance to play to much better games before this one, that I have a very different point of view than the majority of the people who rated this thread.
Or maybe the strong fetish and sandbox aspect was the appeal for those who rated it 5 stars. Anyway, it is not a bad game, but I don't really like it, I can't get into it.

Postive things about the game:
+Good variation of characters
+Good charecters
+Good history
+Regular scenes
+Good grafics
+Have cheats if you get stuck
+Good explanation of the missions
Negative things about the game:
-Short like 1 hour or 2
-short of erotic scenes
-For be on half made i think is short
-For now you only can punish 1 character that is a boomer
Personal opinion about the game:
I like alot this game bee like a person ho wants to do a good thing or a bad thing i like it.the problem for now is the lack of erotic scenes and the puinshments that this game is about..... . the erotic scenes for now they are good . the history is very good bee a profesor ho wets spoiler spoiler .... and then gets that oportunity for try to do it in the direction he likes .
i give him 5 stars for now for the good history if this game is abandonet i gona change for 3 stars
but i give him the 5 stars becose is my personal likement

Personally i don't like Honey Select based game, but i read the description of the game decide to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised.
The beginning of the game must seems ridiculous and absurd at first look , but then after we meet our employer and get a job, the plot will become really interesting.
First of all, i want to write positives sides of this game.
What i really like in this game is that it provide realistic corruption. The algorithm (pain+shame+pleasure=submission) which our MC discovered, of course may seem debatable , but if you think about it, it might work even in real life, maybe not on all people but on some people for sure. Because this algorithm includes real mechanisms from the basics of psychology, what makes story of the game believable. And is really cool, if you remember that it just a porn game. I really don't like most game of such genre where you get stupid cheating mind control powers or boring blackmail and this game resists these rooted cliches except training idea, I guess.

Characters of the game feels alive, some of them have touching backstory: Excellent student girl who was framed and could not finish school , or girl who haven't enough money for training for olympic game and forced to make photoshot for adult magazine. And after you will hear their story, game will give you morale decisions like make this excellent student girl take nude photos for old perverted math teacher or don't harm girl and solve situation in other ways. I think is also cool that game give you opportunity to solve situations in different ways, i hope dev will continue to make more such decisions in future.

MC grow adult with scientific degree, cunning mind and acceptable level of perversion (He have not nose bleeding after every panties or boobs he'll see, what for me is breath of fresh air)

Game also have really good humor and scenes staging.

Animations some good, some are not. In the beginning most of them not very long and interesting. But in last update dev did decent one, i hope he will improve further with it. Oh and there is non sex animations, like dancing or showering which are really GREAT. I wonder, why dev don't spend such effort on sex scenes?

About cons, i don't see much of them, maybe just lack of sex content for now, there is so much updates already, but not so much of that you want see.

The writing is what really makes this. Most of these Ren'Py games are absolutely ridiculous and have no sense of realism. Though the premise of The Headmaster is a little silly, and there's silly moments, it's played straight enough that it works. If the writing is this good going forward, then I look forward to future releases.

Kinky and enjoyable


The good

• Overall ambience and style (I'm a sucker for immersive VNs - and this one delivers).
• Characters are very attractive, but also well written and show distinctive personalities.
• Animations (some are "just" okay while others - like the dancing or shower scenes - are truly great).
• Facial expressions and animations
• Fitting subtle music and ambient sound
• Thanks to the superb writing, story and setting - despite their absurdity - feel coherent and plausible.
• Believable and witty dialogue
• The humour is hilarious.
• I've never been into spanking, but The Headmaster made me enjoy it - as long as there's a reason for punishment.
• Apparently, a lot of love, passion and thought went into creating this VN (magazine story, water pistol fight).
• There's already a good amount of content and a couple of very hot scenes.
• Event log, which lets you replay key scenes to... erm… improve your educational skills.

The so-so

• Free roam mechanics (the devs managed to keep the "grind" bearable, but it still gets a bit tedious at times).
• The character biographies and quests add to the immersion, but aren't always accurate (characters showing up as "not introduced" or quests as "not finished", even though they are).
• Controls could be a tad more intuitive (like skipping "do you really want to spend the morning doing x?").

The improvable

• Unlike the other characters the MC doesn't look very appealing - and his dick looks like a strap-on.
• At times the story gets a bit too dark, especially when people get overly mistreated - like Ruth being humiliated despite her grief, Mr. Wilson almost getting killed, Debbie being forced into a hand job even though she's a lesbian or the twins being punished until they cry. Some of these scenes made me feel uncomfortable. It’s a thin line and I hope the devs will stick to the light-hearted atmosphere instead of walking down a darker path in future updates.
• Sadly, at the end of the current version all potential antagonists (Ruth, Debbie, Maxine) have already been silenced - I think especially Ruth has been "sacrificed" too early.
• Some minor bugs like missing animations in secondary camera angles, the "detect-o-meter" still displaying during scripted scenes right after spying on the girls - or the whole image being shifted during the second dream sequence (at least on Mac).
• Quite a lot of spelling errors, missing words, double words, etc.

In my opinion The Headmaster is among the best adult VNs, especially if you enjoy attractive & believable characters, witty dialogue, a good laugh and... spanking of course.
