The game has been updated to 0.16.4.4Public. Check out the changelog on our Patreon page. The current version has approximately 16,000 images, 1000 videos and over 35 hours of gameplay.

About the Game
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.

In The Headmaster you play an expert in psychology with some unique ideas about how to tackle the crisis. After a demonstration of your theories at a teachers conference, you are approached by the agent of a mysterious organisation. He invites you to interview for the position of headmaster (principal) at one of the newly founded schools for over eighteen-year-olds. Keen to prove yourself and your theories you gladly accept.

Using your unique disciplinary methods you must turn a whole school of delinquent young women into hard-working and obedient students. Things will not be easy for you. You must win your colleagues to your side, cater to the unusual demands of the school's owners and deal with a troublesome government inspector.

N.B. This game contains explicit sexual content and is for adults only (18+). All characters portrayed in this game are over the age of eighteen. All acts protracted in this game are between fictional consenting adults.

how close are you from the free update on itch.io?

Expected in may I think

(+1)(-2)

有中文吗

(1 edit) (+1)

没有 (Apologies if this is bad Chinese, I used google translate
(+1)

How bad could 'No' be translated tho.

(1 edit)

Idk man I don't speak chinese

any game similar to this game?

(+2)

That new teacher is somewhat similar but not a sandbox

(+1)(-3)

does anyone know a game that can rival Eternum,i'm struggling to find something similar.

if just about graphic, it can be city devil: restart or My bully is my lover (i think city devil: restart is dead but worth a shot)

I wouldn't say the following games can exactly rival Eternum but they are good. No sandbox and honey select games only. No specific order just what came in mind:

- My Bully is My Lover (I remember I didn't like the very beginning but then the game becomes pretty good)
- Sicae (the same creator as in MBML but story is more fast paced and many characters are shared)
- Ripples (updates are small but it's good)
- Cross Realms (kind of new but I'd place my bet on this game)
- Cosy Cafe (not many choices (if any) but it's just good)
- Por(n)tals (not exactly as good as the others but it's definitely inspired by Eternum, you could try it)

If you want to try sandbox with a completely different style, I'd suggest Witch Hunter. The drawings are very hot.

I'd suggest Astreonby Noglory for graphics and the story

(+1)

I recommend City of Broken Dreamers, Being a DIK, and Once in a Lifetime.

(1 edit)

Try Waifu Slut School its Really long and good

(+1)

Wild Cats for sure, it is a story rich game, and i couldn't even begin about the graphics, although, if ur just looking for the "Adult" part of the AVN then try other games instead, it has a slow progression for girls so yeah, and its quite new (I think) and only has 3 chapters for now

I know you mean The Headmaster's great for you to remind of Eternum. It depend on genre. but above all i give to "Superhumen"  

(+4)

Do we know when itch.io is getting an update?

I think the next free version will be in May?

(-1)

Nunca habrá una versión para Android?

what happen to the cheats

(+1)(-2)

Plzzz make a Android version of this one

it would be great if they did it again (cause before there was one) but now we have to use joyplay ( but joyplay don't work on my tablet snifff)

(+1)

can we get a date for the next update?

(+1)

supposed to have been last month

(+8)

There is a new version out for subscribers. The next public release is likely to be May 2nd.

(1 edit)

This is without a doubt my second favorite game on itch (close first being "Price for Freedom: Avarice" (absolutly amazing btw check it out :) and an equally close third being "The Forest of Love"). Its fun and it just does the gameplay better than other similar style games on here. The non-linear (or at least your not forced to do things in a specific order without freedom to poke around) progression/open world-esk nature works really well especially when paired with the masterful story telling and character development. The scenes are also well made and amplified nicely by the story leading into them. You can tell that the dev has put a lot of care and effort into the story and the scenes as well and  cant wait for the next update. Heres hoping we get more with Debbie and Maxine (sorry if i butchered the names its been a bit since i played). Those two are my personal favorites although you cant not love a cute little helpful pet ;3 .  all in all 10/fucking 10 absoutly fantastic considering its a free game on itch (and in general) I would absolutely recommend it. Great job and keep up the great work <3

hey Just started this after plating cosy cafe, and a brunette names lucy fletcher is just too big of a coincidence lol.

Lucy here isn't brunette, Lucy there isn't named Fletcher yet, and probably won't be until the endgame

(+1)(-1)

It's just what some people do... If I were making these games my go-to names would Rachel, Tiffani, Heather, and Jessica, others would vary, but those would definitely be seen in most or all of my games...

How exactly do we start the Holiday Specials ?

The guide only tells us how to unlock them, not how to start them.

I did get the messages that says I unlocked them.

(+1)

Go to the replay menu / event log. Top right button in the main map.

(+2)

AH ok, the only way is to go through the replay Menu, gotcha. I found them there, but thought they were triggered somehow in-game.
Thanks AltosandHerdone !

(+3)(-7)

I downloaded the game and it won't launch. What should I do?

(+3)

I'm looking forward to the next update, I hope we'll be able to "play" with Cheng, Ada, Maria Consuelo, and Patricia 😋😋😋

(+5)

So when are we going to get another update? It's already been over a year.

(+9)(-4)

There is a new version out for supporters. I just haven't released it publicly yet. 

(+1)

Is there a new version for those who donated?

(+2)

Yes, it's currently available for $1. Or you can wait a bit longer and get it for free. No date set for that yet though.

(1 edit) (+5)(-48)

The number of people asking for free things is insane. maybe they're from a third world country.

(+30)(-3)

Or are under severe budget restrictions. Don't assume things.

How do I become a supporter, I see no link here on itch.io ?

(1 edit)

There is a Patreon Link at the top of the page.

Is it the 1$ membership, does it include the newest updates?

That is weird. Because I donated $1 and there is no new upload available for me.

(1 edit)

is there an estimation on when this game will be done? I figure a year or two?

(+1)

oh definitely not, the game has been out for years if you look at the updates on itch there's only about 1 update per year and the game is still missing a lot, but don't worry it's not been abandoned or anything

Why can’t i download pc pac it’s fails every time after getting 7gb

(-1)

I'd recommend using the Itch app to download.

I had an issue trying to download it to a brand new 60gb USB drive - seems there was some weird issue with the default format (exFAT 128kb) - kept telling me the file was too big; reformatting as NTFS 512b seems to have cured the issue.

(1 edit) (+5)

This is gonna be so good when it comes out fully. 


I mean its great now but when its finished it will be magnificent

35 hours? Challenge accepted.

(+10)

Love the game. It has been a year since the last public update. Looking forward to the news scenes. 

(+2)

Amazing game so far.  This is one of the only games I've ever played that doesn't just put different heads on the same body architecture.  The creator understands that not all bodies are built the same and that they all have beauty.  I truly hope that there are more scenes with the slightly larger girl that is teased in the shower.  I can imagine quite an amazing storyline with her.  Thank you A&H creator.  You do amazing work and I look forward to the next updates.

She will appear, but I would not bet on a story arc in the main game. Maybe a special? Dev has said that he no longer names the side girls, as there are already 23 with various size story lines, which is a lot, especially filling them in by individual story, not by time (which is really fucking hard, and the best thing about this game is making that work without the writing being compromised). 

This is fallout from people (myself included) wanting to know more about Tia, who was the first side girl named. Turns out Tia is a reskin of Rosie (from dream sequences) and dev was a bit surprised that people were asking, as she started as a throwaway Amy plot device, and he didn't want to raise expectations. 

So, while some of the other girls do have names, they will either never be mentioned, or will only be added in final release. The girl in the shower you mention is named Helen.

This is a classic.

so we have to wait another 3 months for a public update ... its a great game but the updates take forever

(+28)(-2)

Yup. It's almost as if speed and quality had some sort of connection...

(+2)(-16)

good for you pal

(+3)

which area do you believe is the highest quality part of your game?

(+6)

I put the effort in for every aspect of the game. Although the writing is where I think I stand out from the pack. Admittedly the graphics are a little dated at this point, but the art and animations still get better with every update. 

(-7)

Is there a Chinese version of the game?

(-3)

how do i run the game? i am new and on laptop

(1 edit)

I could run it using the itch application (install + run)

(-3)

I played this game 8 months ago, it's amazing. The only downside is that there's no sound in the intimate scenes. You need to learn how to add sound. It's like playing charades. Is this game finished? Is there a sequel? If anyone knows, please let me know.



(+3)

There is sound, and the sequel is delayed but will be available for free in approximately 3 months (see below and on their Patreon).

(+3)

Are we there yet?

(+1)(-1)

可以翻译成中文吗?

(+6)(-1)

I'm bilingual in English and Chinese, if you want support with adding a Chinese translation to the game, I'm willing to help

(+1)

I can’t run the game for some 

Is there a walk through? I'm having a hard time getting Rachel to lv 8 (and I see she can go up to lv 10?) Very frustrating. 

Looking forward to the new update! 

Just switch to easy mode under preferences and restart the punishment. You'll have the option to be guided through automatically.

You're awesome. I didn't even realize you could change it mid game. Thanks!

(+30)

FYI - The public release is being delayed while I work on some extra content for version 0.17. I've posted about it publicly on my Patreon page. 

I can't post the link though. It seems that Itch doesn't allow developers to post links to their own Patreon, even though I have to delete several fake links from scammers every day.

(+1)

Chicanery!

(+2)

Your Patreon is linked to in the description

(+1)

TY for the update note. 

(+1)

没有中文的吗

暂时好像没有.

How do I unlock Amy's student quests?

(-2)

我们需要中文版🙂

We need Chinese version.

Do you know the author?A lot of people in China are sinicized, but it's very bad.

hey does anyone have a save file from around day 30 or something like that ? I lost all progress when i had to reinstall windows unfortunatly :((
