Maids & Masters Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Does my save from Arrival carry over?
A: Yes! This only applies to v0.10 and newer, but there are detailed instructions in the README for both Arrival and the main game with instructions on how to carry over a save from Arrival.
Q: Is there an Android version?
A: Not an official one. Emulators like JoiPlay may work, but I have not tested those solutions and they are not officially supported.
Q: Is there a walkthrough for the game?
A: In short, no.
The long answer is that there was a spoiler-free walkthrough in the README, but that has been converted into the Task List in the in-game menu.
Q: I'm stuck and the Task List doesn't help. What do I do?
A: Talk with NPCs. Look at the maps and see if there's anywhere you haven't gone yet. Check the Estate Info; the Locations tab includes region maps with location names.
You're smart. You'll figure it out if you put in a little effort.

Q: Where is the key in the uncle's Estate?
A: Talk with NPCs. Talk with your Maids on the 2nd floor. Pay attention to what they tell you.
Q: Which trophies can be missed?
A: Trophy 2, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 20, and 21 can be "missed" in that there are specific conditions to get them or ways to prevent access to where you obtain them. The non-seasonal trophies that can be missed can also be obtained at Big Dick's Estate. Trophies 12, 13, 21, and 22 are seasonal, and can only be obtained during the Haunt (12), the Freeze (13 and 21), or the Grow (22). Seasons repeat, allowing those trophies to be obtained during those seasons even if they're missed the first time through.
Trophy 4 and 16 are the only two that you only have one chance at. If you complete the part of the game they're available in without obtaining them (recruiting Phoebe and the Amaira Estate), they cannot be obtained later.
Q: How do I get through the mind maze?
A:You need to satisfy the two larger flames. There's two ways to get past them. One is with Trophy 19 (which removes the orbs blocking the path). The other, you need to use cancel to make a hidden choice (when choices are presented, hit X or Num0), but you need to make a choice before the hidden choice works.
