VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Acting Lessons [v1.0.2] [DrPinkCake]

This game has been enjoyable, with some surprises and unexpected turns. Of course, this review contains minimal spoilers, but as an older game, occasional spoiling seems unavoidable.

The initially buildup of the story can feel a bit forced, but personally these are acceptable breaks from reality for the sake of experience. Sexual contents are fun, and some can even be emotional, since the story itself can sometimes serve as foreplay. I also like how sleeping around will have consequences in your relationships with the central love interests, but I'm certainly not a fan of how it was executed (you will know why if you played through yourself).

The central love interests didn't feel equally fleshed out and ultimately, I only found two as viable choices. However, the side girls had enough coverage for some to become red herrings. Overall, the central love interests were enjoyable and realistically likable, which makes the final curveball a bigger gut punch than expected. I must also give compliments to Dr PinkCake for MC's best friend, as he has a nice enough subplot that feels natural and makes him less of an obligatory male friend but a functioning part of the story that provides extra emotional weight.

In conclusion, Acting Lessons was a pleasant journey. Since I began playing Being a DIK before I even heard of this game, this game also makes me look forward to how Being a DIK will develop.

I'm usually quite critical of games so when i say this is a complete masterpiece you can believe it, a rival of any book, movie or tv show you have ever seen.
I like most people here was expecting a simple porn game with the same old choices that dont matter in the slightest like so many other games but by the end of this masterpiece i am feeling genuine guilt for what i did, which is something no other game has done.
The game crashes often but stick with it as i doubt you will find another game with this much depth in story(given how long it is, which is quite long for these types of games) for a very good while, really one of the top games you will ever play.

the game has some fun characters and sceens were well made but i found the story too dark for my taste its like every bad thing that can ever happen to people crammed into one story. To be honest it felt like i was watching a daytime soap once you hit the halfway point.

I can't count how many crashes I received for wich there is no excuse in a renpy game. Started off as a generic game, after 2 episodes had some story potential, but of course someone had other ideas about episode 6 with no imagination results in taking a decent game down to dirt in just 1 choice, I never got my path with everyone together, but I got instead some cheesy chick horror dead end with no salt to it, with no other choices in a so called final game. Can we get some great content next time someone wants to please ?

It's a fun game, and it's complete, which is a huge plus.
Pros: Pretty good graphics and renders, good consequences for your actions.

Good game, good scenes, decent buildup to scenes. Only complaint is the ending goes from 0-100 and the illusion of choice is pretty strong in the beginning not affecting the endings as much as you'd like. Good enough for a porn game so I'll take it as it is. Also not that big of a fan of the episodic style games, but I understand that some people like it

An outstanding game, loved the characters and it hooked me on the dev. Look forward to playing everything DrPinkCake creates. First of these games that actually evoked an emotional response.

Pros: Great renders, well written characters, some actually funny moments

Cons: The ending was a big downer, no harem ending, leaves you depressed.

A very replayable game even with the sad ending.

Amazing and simple writing. Reminds me of a good soap opera, with a ton of great twists and turns with genuinely lovable characters and an ending that varies greatly with you feeling wholly responsible for the outcome

Simply a great game! So well written and engrossing. The characters all look great and not the same renders you see used over and over again on this site. This is probably the deepest choose your path game I have ever played, dirty or not. Well done!

This Visual Novel is written so well that it had be tearing towards the end of the route I was doing, I thought my choice dont matter that much BUT IT ACTUALLY DOES MATTER. From the start to the end I enjoyed this

Most emotional and choice driven game I've ever played. I urge you to try this, without hints, and enjoy the storyline. Congrats to the creator, and many thanks to the uploader for giving us the chance to enjoy this game through it's core!

This game is so freaking good and I really recommend it. Let's see

1. Story & Plot. I don't know where to start cause it is so epic. I don't want to spoil it too much, but this must be the game greatest feature!
2. Sexual scene. It was ok, not so fantastic but not bad either. It is still enjoyable.
3. Graphics. 3DCG & Ren'Py, I think we all know what to expect. That does not mean it lowers my judgement. I really like the design both the environment and the characters.

Personal experience
I really enjoyed this game, I ended up not fapping at all and shedding tears literally cause the feel man, damn the feeling. I'll give this game 6 stars if I could. Really looking forward to your next game!

I've been thinking about my review text for a long time, in the end I can't possibly add anything more informative to the detailed 11/10 ratings that many other reviewers have already given.

So it's two statements:

1. I don't see this as a simply excellent "se. game" but as a guidebook for real life: You make choices, you'll get consequences. You might not see their impact at the moment of deciding, but you will see their causes at the moment of happening. So please, think your real life actions through.

2. After many years of reluctance this one finally made me subscribe to Patreon, to support the outstanding work of these devs and all the other creatives out there (be it on F95 or anywhere). If their work does have an impact on you, tell them and show them. Even if it's just one word or even 1$ for one month.

Many thanks to DrPinkCake!

This game has left me... speechless and sad and a whole 10 other emotions. Im not rating this game because of the porn, this game is so much more than just a porn game... Its a complete masterpiece. Choices really mattered in this game... If you want this game just for the porn then don't get it, because it will just leave you emotional in the end, enough to make you just completely forget about the porn. Without a doubt an 9/10 Story wise, 9/10 character wise, 8/10 porn game wise.

Absolutely Refreshing to see a game which establishes a narrative so well.
The characters are deep, and the situations and choices really go to show how consequences work and how different choices lead to different circumstances. Really love this game, and hope to see more of this dev!

10/10

Definitely did not expect that, would recommend, great story with amazing characters. 5/5 As for the ending I feel as I got the one I'm comfortable with, probably won't be coming back to not destroy that feeling.

This is less of a porn game and more of a choice driven journey.

I love everything about this game starting from the renders to the characters to the overall story. While the later part got dark and made me really sad, I still enjoyed playing nevertheless.

Never thought I would say this about a porn game, but this is a masterpiece.

This was one of the first games that I played...and damned, it hit me hard.

I was expecting a casual fun, some blood pumped in my dick. But what I recieved was a well made game with a storyline attached. The choise hit me like a train, I did not expect it and I had to stop for a moment and see what I want further.

It is a good game and I will someday come back to it for the discussions that are after the choise. It is a word of wisdom there.

I write it already after I finished the game and seriously don't know what to say.Firstly when you start playing game with sexual content you are thinking of relaxing,having fun or just fap(propably some people).Of course everyone like a good story,but noone is thinking about something like we met in Acting Lessons.Its sad,tragic also dramatic with a lot of fun,sex and love at the begging.As a fun of drama films/anime/games I'm really happy that i found game like that and praise a lot to the developer and his co-workers.
Overall this game is fucking great.Its like series when you choose what happen there
