Ren'Py - The Headmaster [v0.16.3] [Altos and Herdone]

I'm a huge fan of honey select games ngl. But this game left me conflicted. Great writing, awesome characters, decent character progression, everything a perfect game need is here. Albeit I have only one bad point to complain about and that is number of sex scenes. I for one can't fap to the blowjob and other foreplays. I need real action which it's lacking.

As many said below, it is slow paced (Reminds me of midnight paradise). So dev is really taking his time. Hopefully the wait will worth it. May have to continue next year i think. Thank you anyway for sharing such a good game with us dev. Wish u good luck.

Great ideas.. Influence stat should be more detailed imho for better realism. Some short tips in which order gaining influence would be helpfull. Nevertheless superb game. Cheating red buton is fine but demo mode would be even better ( self playable demo until stats reach demanded levels )

This is my first review after being on this site for over half a year. Felt like I had to write one seeing that this is the BEST game I have played currently out of dozens of games that I've tried on this site.

The way you slowly & gradually corrupt the girls and try to get the staff onboard is amazingly well done, combined with solid writing and nice animations. All the girls are pretty in their own unique way and everyone has their own fully-fleshed out personalities & kinks/fetishes.

I actually consider becoming a patreon as this game completely blew my mind. Can't wait to see this game receive more updates in the future and also keep playing more after a good night's sleep! Already spent 5 hours or so and there is still more content to be "explored". Seems like there is enough content for those of you that likes to wait until a game is more fleshed out (I am one of those people, which also made me reluctant to try this).

Be aware that there is quite a lot of grinding in this game, however in my honest opinion it is well worth it! For those of you who wants to cut to the chase there is always cheats that you can use to unlock all the scenes immediately, however I am taking my time with this one as this game has such amazing gameplay that I believe that cheating is NOT worth it at all.

A very good stab at the porn teacher trope. With an ambitious setup and a professional work attitude the developers have already made one of the best porn games out there, and there is still much more to be expected. A wide variety of girls with actual personalities, a decent storyline with a no nonsense focus on arousal, a sandbox that keeps you engaged: there is a lot to love about this game. The biggest achievement is the balance between realism and fantasy that is held very skilfully throughout, allowing for a real sense of power which is the core of the trope.

Just a lot of fun to play.

Just great well thought out and hilarious.... wish I had a Rachel of my own. I'm hoping the emplimenting debbies "test dummy" for the teachers happen in the next update.. and im surprised no one else has mentioned it but wassup with nurse kate? She's hot as fuck Lol easy 5/5

Among all those adult games available on the internet, The Headmaster is the one that I love most.

The story is original; no cliche.
Female characters are all sexy and adorable.
Around 20(?) female characters in the game.
The developer releases new update regularly.

This is a masterpiece in the adult game genre.

This is a game I broke my "wait till after the 0.07(or after the seventh release) update" and tried early, and liked what I saw. I just finished the 0.11 version and while I like the mechanics and tone of the game, it does seem to have a little bit of scope creep. There's a lot of students in the game already, but I think more girls were added recently which adds more work and spreads the content thin. I really hope the dev just fleshes out the current story lines before adding any more. Overall I say this is worth your time and at least a try.

After thought: This is one of the few games that doesn't just use default RenPy buttons and layout and that really tickles my fancy.

The unique way you interact with each of the students and staff honestly surprised me. The dialogue and writing is actually good to make the gameplay enjoyable, while the art and animations are great and dispensed with in a reasonable pace. Though it's not fully developed yet, some of the choices also seem to hold promise for different branches and endings.

A very, very thoroughly designed game with great attention do detail.
A talented writing - both the concept and the execution.
A bit grindy if you want to see all the scenes or complete one of the main objectives.
A bit dated graphics do not spoil the experience.
A very wide range of girls to everyone's taste - both in terms of looks and personalities/kinks.
A lot of content available for a decent playtime even though some parts and paths are still under development.

Quality Stuff! MC is quite convincing lol, I'd agree to be spanked if he convinces me xD
Game is sexy, educational, funny and addictive as well. Rachel is a cutie <3 Debbie, a badass.
Learning life lessons from it. The Pain, Humiliation and Pleasure formula for punishment is perfect lol .
Lastly, the game is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh btw, Humiliation is my fav kink!

As someone that has been playing adult/lewd games since the birth of the internet, 'The Headmaster' is easily the most creative, story-driven, and enjoyable one I've encountered. It's simple to play yet challenging enough to warrant a couple playthroughs to get all the scenes unlocked.
Normally I would minus a star(and a half?) for it being incomplete, but in this case the game is steadily receiving updates and the developer(s) seem to be really in-touch with their fans/players!

Very promising title. Not perfect by any means but it combines good writing with interesting characters and situations.

Good stuff
Good writing
interesting characters
fun management
lots of events

Meh stuff
Visuals are a bit dated
Sandbox and management aspects not very fleshed out(yet)

Bad
Still early in development
No one has a completed storyline yet
a bit grindy in the beginning

I will be watching for updates, it's great so far but it doesn't feel like the finish line is anywhere in sight as of now.

Masterpiece. Full of variety. All of the girls are beautiful. All have their own personalities and speech patterns. All have their own sexual psychology. The headmaster is a convincing character in his own right. The renders and beautiful. The animations are great. Masterpiece, masterpiece, masterpiece.

Hands down my favorite game on this site. every character has their own personality and issues that you "as a psychologist" helps with with , albeit via sexual punishments.. The art is average but the writing.. my god the writing is 10/10. half of the writing makes me laugh my ass off.. but in a good way. I can feel the writer is TRYING to make me laugh as apposed to your laughing because the writing is bad. The other half of the writing is like if there WAS a person who was trying to help women though issues via sexual punishments and was serious about helping them.. THIS is what that person would say. theres plenty to do in the game and several scores to keep track of but its pretty easy. I love how everytime i think i have a favorite girl.. the store goes into more depth on another one.. then i change my answer.

This game is very promising, looks like it could be a close to perfect harem builder in the future. The biggest downside are the previous generation (and dated) illusion graphics. Looking forward to updates because as things stand there are only very few sex scenes, but it appears as some could be added very soon.

Story very interesting. anyway, of the characters cards for the girls are taken from "playhome", I can send those that I "created". I am waiting continue.
Good luck.
P.S. interesting plot, the main character is a cool crazy psychiatrist.

One of the best games on this site. I'll get the nitpicking out of the way first, s the visuals are a bit dated. That being said they are still very nice looking and well done and the sexy scenes are all very hot. The main attraction here is the story and the writing some absolutely hilarious scenes and dialog and the characters are almost all well written and nuanced. The cream of the crop though is the MC, without a doubt the most well written and compelling MC i've seen in an adult game of this type. He's charismatic, interesting, funny and maybe probably at least a little bit insane. There are some things that may hold some people back from giving this a try, like the visuals, the sandbox or the BDSM but if you think it is at all possible for you to deal with those things you should give this game a try because it is wildly entertaining.

Pros

• Excellent writing
• Excellent story
• Good sandbox and free roam elements
• Good characters
• Good character development
• Good balance of story with grind
• A fun and enjoyable game

Cons

• Outdated character models
• MC uses the same character model that you see in most Illusion games
• Slow burn - a bit too slow for my taste
• Too many developer notes (in game) explaining that parts of the game are still under construction. No ones wants to see this. Finish the content or gate it off until it is ready! Stop advancing the story until you finish existing paths and content. It feels like the developer starts dozens of new paths and then leaves them all unfinished.
• The MC is very limited on what he can do with the girls and for most of the game it is limited to very specific activities (most being non-sexual in nature).
• Very few sex scenes in the game
• Sometimes you have to do things in a very specific order in order to progress or complete a specific event. A couple of times I had to refer to a walkthrough in order to progress. I strongly dislike games that require a walkthrough. In my opinion, games should be intuitive enough to not require one. It is a bad design if most players have to use one in order to finish the game.

Overall, the game is well done and fun to play. It does take a long time to progress in the game however. What few sex scenes you'll find in the game are very rewarding once you get to them.

If you are looking for lots of porn or a quick fap, look elsewhere. Just to be clear, the game is more like a M (mature) rated movie or show and not an XXX title.

The writing is excellent and keeps the player engaged. Overall, the game is very well put together and everything fits together well.

I seriously debated on giving this game 5 stars but I wasn't quite there. I rate the game 4.4 stars out of 5.

If you don't mind a slow evolving story with some adult elements mixed in then I recommend giving this game a try!

A very niche game and I believe one of the few of its kind that has been polished to a great extent. The story itself is interesting and the sex scenes are good and varied. Quite a decent amount of content in the game with good replay-ability, however it should be noted that there currently isn't a completed path for any of the storylines so far, so I would say that's the only downside I've seen so far.

I would be straight forward: this game is one of the masterpiece out there.

Usually, I'm not fond of RenPy games using models from Illusion games. I'm not also into BDSM, spanking, domination, etc.
However, I absolutely LOVE this game. So why?

Short answer:
Everything is very well written and the gameplay is both fun and challenging. The art is also very good.


Longer answer:
(not in a particular order)

- The global story: BDSM stuff is not gratuitous and is well introduced (country politics, special schools, etc.). The world and the explanations of what happens in the game seem believable.

- The main character: Here, we don't play the nominal pervert who wants to bang everyone. He's still a perv (that's a porn game afterall) but with a noble goal. He believes to his "science" and help other people. Again, BDSM and sex is not gratuitous.

- Other characters: Most of the girls feels true and are well written. They have their own story. They also look great and in different ways. As their personnalities, they have different body shapes.

- The gameplay: As I said previously, it is fun and challenging. It is also original and varied from time to time. There is almost no "grindy" feeling, which is quite exceptionnal for this kind of game.


For those who wants to invest themselves in a game where there is a real step by step build up and which is not the classical and easy "speak / touch / fuck" genre. This is for you.
