    Wow... Just... Wow... I can't freaking wait to see how well and thorough this game ends up playing out, amazing job! One of my top favorites for sure. I love the point system, the gradual escalation of events, the pervertedness! I love 'hot/pervert-teacher-rules-them-all' games, and this is a very clear explanation as to why!

    It's a realy good game with a lot of fun while playing it.

    Good animations and graphic. No question, seen better but here it would be nice but no need for. Works very well just like it is.

    Good and even functional menu for stats and tasks. No walkthough needet, you get all informations you need.

    Grinding is part of the game, but in a very good way. Not too easy, no messy grind - thats very well done.

    And the story? Funny, sexy with lots of believable characters you have to discipline most of the time.

    This is a game where i don't miss anything.

    I really like how the protagonist isn't overly perverted like it's very often the case in other Ren'Py games.
    I think graphics could be improved, although its cool that the game works on weaker computers too. Overall it's a great game. I'm looking forward to new updates!

    Good:
    - Very unique and different from others with punishment system aswell as MC perspective. Not your usual MC. Has his justifications and thoughts for his actions.
    - Slow burn of finding out the world and characters and there is a clear character progression. Not just straight jump on dick.
    -Very psychological rather than visual.


    Cons:
    -Abit clunky
    -Poor graphics.
    - Poorly designed girls.
    -Much more can be done even with honey select engine.

    But of course, the gameplay and story can make up for bad graphics. Definitely not asking too much from honey select mods but there is plenty of room for improvement.

    Really good game. The story is funny and interesting, sex scenes are hot. Some things can get a bit buggy but nothing too bad. Can wait for new updates of the game, there is so much that could be added on.

    This is a web page turner. Good story and plenty of action to keep one hooked. I love the creativity and art. I can't wait to see what updates Altos and Herdone are cooking up. I will support them where it counts with donation.

    - lots of characters
    - a nice progression system for the main "romance" characters
    - also a sense of school-wise progression
    - great art
    Cons:
    - a bit grindy
    - easy to mess up the start if not careful

    This game is great. If several months ago, when I discovered this site, someone had told me that I would become Patreon of one of these porno games, I would have laugh at them.
    This game is truly a gem, which changes my opinion about paying for content of this type. What does it have that other games don't?

    + Very slow pacing. Yes, I know, to many people this is a flaw, especially for these who expect sex in first 10 minutes of game, but for me slow pacing adds a believability to story progression and when you get to a certain point, you feel much more satisfied.
    This problem is not restricted to the games from this site. In almost all games you have to be a hero, capable of defeating an army almost from a start, or else majority of today's players would say a game is dull. There is very few games like Gothic where for a very long time a simple wolf can kick your ass.

    + Believable characters reactions within borders of some unbelievable assumptions (like existence of this kind of school)
    + Dialogs
    + Plot
    + Humor
    + Lack of the usual disadvantage of this type of games, in which you can learn that 90% women have ZZZ cup and want almost immediately have sex with you.
    + Lack of incest (I don't understand why it is so popular)
    + And of course spanking, if you have fetish for that (but this is requirement to play this game).

    One of the games where the realism - or more accurately, the possibility that the methods preached by the MC it can actually be implemented with real results in real life - actually made the game so much more interesting that it should've been. There are some segments that in other games I would've skipped, but here I carefully examined them because I sincerely want to understand the mad but logical methods the MC employed to train his students. It also helps that he's both incredibly charismatic and confident in himself, a trait that every person would like to pretend they have and thus wouldn't mind their MC to have at all.

    I give it a 4 star because I ran into a bug that was probably a year old, which seriously annoyed me. It the one where you're tasked to discover Amy's pleasure/humiliation/pain source, and the one where you're supposed to conduct a web search to find the porn magazine she mentioned just wouldn't trigger for me. As a result I was locked out of one of the most promising characters in the game unless I redo the game exactly the dev wanted so that the bug won't repeat itself, or unlock the gallery scenes to watch it, which completely misses the point of playing the game. And even then my save file is useless because it's bugged and, assuming this game reaches completion, I'll almost certainly be locked out of a true/harem ending or something. This is A YEAR OLD, it should've been fixed a long time ago.

    Besides that, there are some continuity errors where certain events were implied to have happened, but not really I did them the other way around. I'd rather the dev impose a hard lock on certain content if that's the case, because it would be REALLY confusing when the rest of the cast gets their individual scenes.

    All in all it's a great game, and despite how I made it sound halfway through the review there are barely any bugs at all, much less gamebreaking ones. But the dev definitely needs to pay attention to the continuity problem or similar bugs will definitely happen in the future.

    Sincerely impressed with this. I remember playing Harem Hotel a few months ago and thinking it had potential, but that there were issues with the mechanics and the premise that was holding it back. The Headmaster improves on all of Harem Hotel's weaknesses. The replay menu alone would have been a massive improvement, but the writing of both the subplots and the overarching plot are greatly improved as well.

    The headmaster and Ruth in particular are great characters. The problem I have with most games on here, especially corruption-based games, is that they're kind of soulless, with main characters who immediately start manipulating the women around them the minute they get any sort of power. And the game always cheers them on blithely for being terrible people. Here, you have a protagonist who's in denial about the nature of his actions, working against a woman whom the game admits is a good person with good intentions, in the service of powerful people who are using him to his own ends. It's a nice change from games that correlate any amount of prudishness from a character to being the spawn of Satan. It also means that doing assholish things, like blackmailing Ruth into your service or accusing Priti falsely of a crime, actually has ramifications for the protagonist. It's just refreshing.

    I normally avoid unfinished games, or at least try to, but I saw all the reviews on this and had to at least check it out.

    Boy, is this game worth 5 stars. Not all the games that get high ratings on this site really represent the peak of what it really has to offer, but this title is definitely something special.

    I have to imagine pretty much everything I could say about its quality has already been said in the 100 other reviews, and by the fact that it was good enough to motivate 100 other reviews, so I'll just say that it's definitely got some serious content already, definitely has a good deal more to go before it's done, and is fun to read even if your pants stay on the whole time.

    It's been awhile since I've been this invested in the story and the characters (especially the characters).

    The MC is a sadistic (yet likable) asshole that I just can't help rooting for.
    Many of the girls (including the teachers) have varying, but rich personalities where some characters even have solid backstories.
    The more I play, the more I feel like I'm being drawn into the story, and a great sense of progression comes with it (via unlocking sex scenes).

    I really hope this game gets completed and gets the recognition it deserves. The way the game is progressing, it's be a crime to give it anything less than a 5 star.

    I like 2dcg games more than 3dcg usually, but this one is a good 3dcg game.
    Let me explain why I really enjoyed it:
    1) MC is morally right (at least he thinks so lol)
    2) School with hot girls and teachers
    3) You can easily use cheats without console if you want
    4) Catchy plot
    5) You can spank girls + light bdsm and submission (you decide the exact punishment)
    6) Nice graphics and animations

    I am really fond of this game, as can hopefully be evidenced by the following, it is the introduction to the game re-imagined as the first portion of an epic poem, created as a thank-you for the creators, @AltosandHerdone.

    Off in some vague island nation,
    The youth is cause for frustration.
    They behave badly, it is said,
    And so the country moves ahead
    With plans to address youth misdeeds,
    A law is what the country needs!
    The future nation's on the line,
    So new rules they have to define.
    They'll strip these young adults of rights,
    And draft them into armies' fights.
    Across the land, the word is sent,
    Allowing extreme punishment.
    But questions still exist, indeed,
    What is the best way to proceed?
    Spankings are viewed as out-dated
    How to get them reinstated?

    Our hero soon is called to speak,
    "I'll demonstrate my new technique
    The government funded a test
    How punishments could work the best
    So I'll share now, what I could find
    Apply some swats to those behind.
    We'll spank away young attitudes
    But spankings fade, except on nudes!
    For in my studies, I have learned
    That spanked cheeks heal, but cheeks shame-burned
    Leave a more lasting impression.
    Trust me, this is my profession!
    So strip the girls! Make them undress!
    And they won't forget this duress.
    While effective, this plan has cost,
    With shame and pain, our trust be lost
    To reclaim trust, and mend that chasm,
    Nothing can beat a good orgasm!
    So with spanks and humiliation,
    Apply sexual stimulation.
    And then, when it is least expected,
    Delinquents will be-cum corrected"

    And though we feel our speech went great,
    After we go to demonstrate
    On young Sarah, our test subject,
    The gathered guests mostly object.
    For they ignore the benefits,
    And think that we have lost our wits.
    Jane Curtis demands we desist,
    And puts us on a "spank" black-list.
    She calls us "unfit perv," and then
    Says we will never work again.
    So, we get fired after our talk,
    Until we meet Mr. Mykock.

    Mykock knows you are not a fool.
    He invites you to run his school,
    For doubters will have to believe
    When these youths don't underachieve.
    You'll make the students into pearls
    At his Academy for Girls!
    He just wants you to do "your thing."
    (While all his donors are watching)
    Our hero, soon-as-you-please is
    Headmaster of St Louise's.
    Just dole out spanks even-handed.
    (What a cushy gig we've landed.)
    Along with teaching some classes,
    We're paid to swat grade "A" asses.

    And then we're on to the hard part,
    'Cause prologue done, the game can start.
    Going forwards, there will be spanks!
    Altos and Herdone have my thanks!

    I don't know how anyone who enjoys adult games could possibly rate this game any lower than a four and to me a four is harsh. I don't think I have played a game that has gripped me as much, not since I got my first games console which was an Atari 2600.
    I have completed the game and now I'm desperately looking forward to the next updates. I think there is real genius in this game.
    The MC marvelously intertwines his own scientific theories with his own predatory urges and his isatiable need for control and order. I also think the characters have real depth and a uniqueness that goes beyond their basic physical appearance.
    The gradual crescendo that builds provides the perfect balance between short term gratification and longer term rewards that come about through anticipation and occasional failure.
    The opening scenes play an important part and provide a glimpse of what the MC can achieve if he can convince those around him to buy in to his vision. Even now there is still so much to achieve so many girls to punish and mould into the better version of themselves that only the MC can bring out in them.
    My hope is that the Headmaster gains approval to extend his influence into a post-graduate scheme that allows him to keep his most favoured students for longer. Keep up the excellent work. You have gifted us an awesome creation!

    The Headmaster created by a Wife and Husband team who go by the name AltosandHerdone it is a unique take on the school girl genre that will titillate your funny bone as you gleefully spank not only the girls but your monkey as well.

    Set in the not to distant future, The Headmaster takes place in Engla... Err A distant nation island as AltosandHerdone puts it. In this future according the the government and the adult population children have become out of control and undisciplined; causing massive failures in the education system and great social unrest. Draconian laws have been passed to deal with this issue, and new institutes have been founded (thanks to the help of several private and wealthy individuals) to deal with this problem. You are a young male psychologist testing and developing a new method of discipline. After some let's say unforeseen setbacks you have been given the opportunity to prove your method is the right one...

    And Boy is this method fun! The Headmaster is in full development right now and is constantly and consistently being updated with new content. What content you ask well. as the Headmaster it is your job to develop and prove your method of discipline is the right one. By handing out the right balance of Pain, Humiliation and yes Pleasure you will be able to bring this group of troubled girls to heel. I won't go into detail because it's far more fun to experience it then read about it.

    The story for The Headmaster is one of a battle of wills between you and the students, between you and your staff and of course between you and self righteous government agents. But fear not you have allies with the school sponsors and if you play your cards right you can even get the staff and better yet the students to help you. What could go wrong?

    The graphic of of The Headmaster are what you would expect from a Ren'Py game but AltosandHerdone have worked hard to make the girls and characters fan favorites. And the setting are well crafted.

    I personally give this game a 10 out of 5 but the rating system only goes up to 5. Play this game, you will not be disappointed. And if you have the cash become a Patreon.

    The characters are well developed. I like the approach the dev has taken by focus on single characters for a given update. The foundation here is solid and I'm looking forward to where the dev takes the interactions between the girls.

    The mechanic of corrupting the school rules, finding the girl's kinks, and exploiting those insecurities and desires is a good game loop. The actual punishment system is fun and well thought out.

    Great animation!

    Furthermore, the included debug menu, and quality of the in game guide is a nice touch. Not too much info, but enough to get you to the next place.

    Generally i'm not one to review a game that i don't like, i'm of the mindset that you should only decide if you like a game or not after playing it. I guess that the reason why i'm writting this review is because the game is a clear example of "good/interesting concept, poor/lacking execution".

    It's sound really tantalizing the idea of being the headmaster of a school, specially one of bad girls, the problem is that all the girls feel very bland, or they are all really pieces of shit or actually really nice and left you thinking why should i punish her so hard?

    Still the main problem with the game is the grinding, grinding in itself is not bad (i like it, but i can understand why other don't), the problem is that you grind and grind for hours to unlock really little content making the reward really unsatisfactory and pointless.

    im giving this game 3 stars because i'm on the fence, i think that if the game gets more polishment and deep it can be quite enjoyable but as it's stands it's a unsatisfactory grindfest.

    I dont know man... this could be good game but it aint for me at this moment.

    The idea of school where you can punish girls for their bad behavior is intriguing but all i was able to do, after several hours of playing, was spanking. spanking, spanking and again spanking. you can spank them in few different poses but its still only spanking. I dont mind spanking but its nothing that i would be interesting in. Same for the anime/japanese wibe. The meeting where you can change rules for the school appeared maybe 6 times but i was able to make changes only once and they werent great or anything. i guess its just too soft game for me, i would need something more to be interested in.
    good luck.
