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

Very complete game, the story from the beginning is interesting, the relationship between the characters is very pleasant and you feel that each has its own character, the branch of options that provides for the different endings is good even though the last two I leave a bittersweet chapter because there are several endings but they are very similar or you do not see that great weight in the actions as you should, which is a pity.

The characters, visually are quite unique, which is appreciated because lately a large majority recycles characters, the scenarios are according to the situation and help what the game wants to show, in the hot scenes, at least Half of these scenes lacked diversity and that feeling of reward.

Even as I said at the beginning, it is a very complete game, with unique characters both visually and in character, a game that must be played if or if.

The game has actual story. It has nice renders. It's a simple visual novel with multiple story paths. The story is split into chapters, at the end of each you get nice summary of your choices. The game feels complete and well thought. It's not like your typical nsfw-game, the sex scenes make sense in regards of the story, they don't feel as forced as in the other titles you may have seen here. It is much more a game then a porn.

Damn! i wish there was another ending posible for this game. it was quite surprising, but not necesarily unpleasent. Great storry line and very beautyful graphics. looking forwad to playing the dev's other game as well.

What can we say about 'AL'? As his first attempt at game development, Dr PinkCake did a well-above-average job at creating a unique and polished story with a diverse cast. Now for all its praise, the game does have its fair share of flaws which we will go further into the review.

In the first place, let's talk about the story and the MC's background. You take reins of a middle-aged man (his age is never specified),
who in the past earned a satisfactory amount of wealth from the crypto-currency trade. Proceeding from there, you choose a trait among three (athletic, charismatic and well-read); these defining traits don't have any substantial influence over the story. Further, into the story you are given a party invitation by Liam, from said conversation comes to light that the MC was in a damaging relationship. Throughout this, is where you are introduced to the Main protagonist's best friend, Liam, a character that shows friendship towards the MC, and who goes against the skin-related-character-archetype, which some adult game developers tend to use and perpetuate to respond for a certain fetish. The story from there kicks in, once the MC is dragged into a grocery shop's robbery were he meets the main heroine and as a result, ends in a hospital.


There's not much else to say, besides that the renders, animations and performance were great and that the sound/music accompanying them was sufficiently adequate. The game is overall a good experience, but one who makes the player agency feel non-existent at points and which faults the player with hidden plots of conflict that can't really be solved or meddled with (forced into a relationship, forced poly relationship, cheating and some illogical character decisions). I would rate this game at 3,5 but since I can't, I'll rate it 4 since it is still a great game.

I have nothing more to add, this game is excellent - The characters are compelling and likable, the story is well-written and enjoyable on all levels., even with a little twist at the end (which i can't say i enjoyed but it truly caught me offguard). 5/5

In standard Dr. PinkCake style, this game is well made. It has a well written story (yes it actually has a story). The characters are well thought out, each has an identifiable personality they are faithful to. It has a mild branching story system, where you will always get the majority of the same scenes (possibly with different text) that might lead to 2-3 extra renders for the "better choices"

This is amazing! Dr. PinkCake is one hell of a story teller. This game has drama, meaningful choices, romance, plot twist, sexy scenes and will get you emotional envolved in the story. Only a true story teller can pull all of this off. This deserves to be a best seller and I couldn't be happier to rate this at 5 stars! Bravo

I've just recently come around to playing this game, so let me preface this by saying this game was very hard to rate properly. After finished I was fiddling with the idea of giving it a 4/5 or a 5/5. I couldn't decide. I've come to the conclusion that any faults I found with this were just some slight nitpicks of mine that overall did not take away from my enjoyment of this great great game.

Without any spoilers, this game is definitely a roller coaster of emotions for an erotic game and more times than not that's extremely rare. You can tell DrPinkCake is passionate about his story and creations. While there are definitely your typical fuck buddy sluts in this game, you'd be surprised to find that there are very nuanced characters as well and a comedy gold character in Liam, your black best friend. (One of my favorite scenes comes from a campfire where the character plays truth or dare. I've never laughed so hard from a porn game in my life)

The story can often times feel melodramatic, but that's not necesarily a bad thing. This story presents to you a passionate heart with plenty of feels ranging from the fluffy, cloud 9 feeling you get when you've actually conquered the crush you thought you'd never have, to a deep and hopeless tragic feeling that almost forces you to stop playing. Sprinkled with stomach cramping laughter all over the place.

The only negatives I have with this are at times the character expressions just don't feel right to me. It's part of why I don't use preset expressions for my characters either. They appear too stiff at times. But that's about the only thing and it's just a nitpick.

All in all, this was a great game that I should have played sooner, (but I'm sort of grateful that I waited so I wouldn't have to suffer from those suffocating cliffhangers like everyone before me did. Jesus Christ them cliffhangers...)

If you're someone like me who values story in these games, I 100% recommend this one. At the very least, you should be entertained.

Now I'm off to play Being A DIK.

The game is just perfect, one of my favorites. Each character has its own character, stories, the game is interesting, addictive and at the same time moving. For me the best game that has ever been created. I will not forget about it and I will come back to experience these beautiful moments again by playing it. If someone has not played this game yet, I heartily recommend it.

I apologize for the mistakes if they appeared. I am writing through a google translator.

Amazing game. Choices definitely carry over. Animations aren't the tip of the iceberg, but the characters (those of which can be romanced) are all very lovable and endearing.

Definitely one of the best games around. Captivating characters, tight plot with choices that make it twist like you'd never expect, amazing graphics and music. Huge amount of love was put into this game, that's easy to see.

This game is great! I've just recently started getting into playing adult games, and this is one of the most realistic ones I've come across so far. The characters and dialogue are very believable and there's some insane twists.

This game is basically a must play in terms of 3DCG games.

Pros

- The girls are generally just awesome (especially Rena and Melissa)
- Single best wingman/bro character in the world of adult games
- The plot is quite good, with several twists

Cons
- That one thing
- I dislike that Rena's path requires you to cheat on the other girls.

I mean, just play it, its all around a top tier game.

Final Rating: 5*

I started playings these VNs just recently but this one is by far my favorite, especially with Liam and Megan. It's the first time a character feels like a real friend and Megan is a really interresting and kinda naive character, that's what made me like this game so much. And it's one of the rare times i haven't fuck all the girls I met in the game

Great game. Characters are three-dimensional with believable personalities and histories. Your selection of models and the renders are great. The dreams and flashbacks, an outstanding way of adding background and personality. Luv that cake thing between the episodes. Hope to find other games you worked on, both new and old, in the future.

My top one of a short list of VN that a keep saved on a external drive.
Like i have said in a post, renders are good, seen better but they're good, the story is amasing, every time a play, i get so much in it that it feel like i'm the MC itself and it's the only game that got me to shed a tear, made my laugh, basically live a roller coaster of emotions, hell i even had a taste for murder cause of Leah and Melissa step dad.
About the caracters, they were well defined, each one of them had there own personality that made them likable or willing to kill then.
DrPinkCake, please keep up the good work and most of all, do what your own brain tell you to do and don't listen to much those who criticize you on how you laid your story and your caraters, you're the artist not them, fllow yout hearth and head and come back to us with another game like this one.

Definitely one of the best games around. Captivating characters, tight plot with choices that make it twist like you'd never expect, amazing graphics and music. Huge amount of love was put into this game, that's easy to see.

i love it!...it has romance, comedy and sadly tragedy as well...but overall i had a blast! hmmm....it would have been perfect if no one "you know". The characters look great and beautiful. Not so with the mc though. I bet you can do better with the animations but satisfying enough.

11/10 Absolute masterpiece. Stop reading reviews and go play the game, and please don't skip the text, this is not your average adult game and shouldn't be played like that, just take it seriously and make your choices like you would in real life.

Visual novels don't get much better than this. What really sets it apart is the variety of entertainment this gem can offer. All models & environments are highly detailed, character personalities/interactions are superb, and the story is very interesting. The jokes can be pretty hilarious, there are engaging plot twists, very tense moments, and the presentation overall is top notch.

There is an option at the beginning of the game to enable hints about character reactions to dialogue choices. This is a very rare but useful feature that I wish more VNs would use. The game is also split into separate chapters with relationship recaps that allow you to see your standing with each person. These features give the game a very polished and organized feel. On that note, no bugs or typos that I noticed.

5/5 and an absolute must play, even if you don't usually like this type of game.

Devo dizer... Eu enrolei para experienciar esse game, sou um grande fã de jogos com ótimas histórias, mas esse em especial me trouxe muitos sentimentos e momentos para refletir sobre a vida e as pessoas à minha volta... uma verdadeira obra de arte!


I must admit... took me a long time to try this game, i'm a huge fan of games with great narratives, but this one in special brought me a lot of feelings and time to think about life and people around me... a true piece of art!
