Yes, we're picking ourselves up and working to release Eric's route this year.

Hi Juice2015,

There have been major delays because, despite COVID-19, our programmer's main job had extra work due to our pandemic. But we are still working on Maid for You.

Thank you for your patience!

Hi El.Seth, 

Glad to hear that you're enjoying Prank Masters! Thank you for reporting the sprite mistake. We'll get that fix!

Hi valandra,

Yes! We're still working on Maid for You. We've finished writing all routes. We're now proofreading the routes. We've also finished Eric's CGs, so we're now onto Austin's CGs.

We don't know when the exact date would be yet. But when we do, we'll be sure to let you know!

Hi ArisaLilac,

Due to some personal reasons, we had to delay the release for James' route. But it should be out next month, which is May. Thank you for your patience!

Hi fairfaxleasee,

Since you've asked, we'll compile a demo for Maid for You next month.

Thank you for your support in advance!

Hi Bootie-Pup,

This is not based on the novel Maid for Me. This is an original English visual novel with it's own storyline and characters. We weren't even aware there's a novel called Maid for Me.

Thank you for reporting these! We'll be sure to fix them up in our next update.

Hi MoonlitWind,

Have you tried reading through the walkthrough for Romeo's subchoices yet? Here's a link to it: https://itch.io/t/268242/extras

Let us know if you still need help.

Hi ayakomarie,

The "Claim Steam key" section should come up before the official Steam release date. Please send an email to lockviastudios[at]gmail.com with the email address you've used to purchase the game and we'll manually send you a Steam key for Prank Masters.

Sure! That's fine. Send us an email here: lockviastudios[at]gmail.com

Hi Becca0825,

There seems to be a small bug somewhere in Romeo's special gallery, so firstly could you update Prank Masters to at least v1.05?

Romeo's route is the most complex compared to Kadin and Richard's. In terms of choices and variations, Romeo's route has many choices within a choice. So here's a list of choices within a choice that will help you unlock all other choices that exist in Romeo's route.

Romeo: Double Trouble

• Should I tell her the truth?
  • Yes, this is the last straw. 
• Do I investigate?
  • Of course! What if he bailed?

These two choices will lead you to a choice within a choice in the next variation and this choice will come up:

• I can extend his detention until tomorrow, or to infinity. I just need to add a few more books to his trolley. Should I?
  • Yes! Serves him right.
  • I might have to take over his area later.

Romeo: Bonding Session

• Am I hungry?
  • Yes! Watching them fight made me hungry.
• Okay. Can you get me...
  • Hash browns, chips and water?
  • An egg salad sandwich and cookies?
  • Cheese pide and lemonade?

Play all three of these choices to unlock Romeo's Special gallery. After that this choice will come up:

• Do I want pizza?
  • Yes! It’s pizza!
  • No, why should I? Stick to my option.

If you choose:

• Do I want pizza?
  • No, why should I? Stick to my option. (from Romeo: Bonding Session)

It will lead you to this choice in Romeo: It's a Trap:

• Is this a good time for ice cream?
  • Anytime is ice cream time.
  • It’s still too early for ice cream.

If you choose:

• Do I want pizza?
  • Yes! It’s pizza! (from Romeo: Bonding Session)

It will lead to this choice in Romeo: It's a Trap:

• Is this petty race worth anything?
  • It’s worth nothing. Nil.
  • It’s worth a free ice cream!

Romeo: He Said What?

• Should we join them?
  • Eww... Not another romantic movie.

It will lead to this choice later in the same chapter.

• Sounds like you had fun. Do you want dinner?
  • Not hungry.
  • I can go for dinner.

Romeo: Surprise Gift

• So, the question is: should I stay for dessert?
  • Yes.
  • No.

If you choose:

• So, the question is: should I stay for dessert?
  • Yes. (from Romeo: Surprise Gift)

It will lead to this choice in Romeo: Who Am I?:

• Should I tell him?
  • Sure. He can’t make the situation any worse.
  • I’m not telling this nosy ‘friend’ anything.

If you choose:

• So, the question is: should I stay for dessert?
  • No. (from Romeo: Surprise Gift)

It will lead to this choice in Romeo: Who Am I?:

• Did something happen over the weekends?
  • Nothing happened.
  • The pedigree happened.

Thank you for reporting these bugs. We've fixed these bugs in Prank Masters v1.04!

Hi dahanavar,

There are some choices that only appear in a particular choice (a choice within a choice), so you'll also need to go through those choices and variations. Once you've tried all choices and variations in the route, Richard's special CG would be unlocked.

If there are any other questions, feel free to let us know. And thank you for reporting that bug.

Hi Txara,
