About The Headmaster

In the not too distant future, on a small island nation, a crisis has arisen. The number of students graduating from school has fallen sharply and university places are going unfilled. Faced with the prospect of mass unemployment and potential economic disaster the government is forced to introduce emergency measures. All students over eighteen who failed or were expelled from school are to be forced back into education at a number of special facilities.

    I really hope this game continues updating I love it, also just a little update on the console codes, those are not input by console codes but by going to the replay thingy on the game and clocking on the button 3 times

    Really good game. Not sure I’d qualify it top tier but it’s definitely up there.

    You’d think from the Illusion anime rips that it’s not that good, just derivative and cringe, but it’s all the opposite.

    Huge amounts of freedom, engaging gameplay (the discipline sessions), engaging story that actually seem believable (as far as it can go for porn games)

    Only downside is the british expressions lol

          Try another browser. The error has been fixed. It is your dns cache that is causing the problem I guess. You can use proxy for testing. https://1.1.1.1 is free.

    How does one update from version to version? Just unpack over the old files?
    Delete the old folder and unpack the new folder in the same place?

    Thanks

    (sorry for newbie question)

      Games are in *development*, you usually download whole game with new progress every time (exeption are patches, they are added to folder with old game). If this is too much, look for ‘compressed’ variant of game, way smaller. This game has one.

      Before you delete old game (folder and archive), unpack new game folder to same loc (not needed but prob best), start game executable – right then look for your saves!

      RenPy games create saves either in *user settings* in their own folder, OR in *game folder* itself. If in settings, saves should show up in ‘save/load’ screen (usually button on main screen leads there). If in old game, copy saves over to new game folder.

      Read infos + changelog carefully – sometimes devs mention ‘older saves are not compatible’, bc something has changed in game code. Then you *should* delete saves in ‘save’ screen or old game folder, bc they can mess up the game when you continue. Sometimes devs offer saves in this case, as extra download, so you dont need to start anew.
