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

Wow. I just finished playing this through for the first time.
I saw it on a blog post of someone's "top five' games and figured why not ?
I was not expecting a story that actually made me feel something. This is not your typical half finished attempt at a game.
This is Art !
I want to play through again and make different choices because they are significant in this game, but i don't feel like i can do it right now, i'm still too attached to the story i just lived.
Not everyone will have the same experience i did, but that is part of what makes this one special.
If you are looking for more than just pics to click through you have to try this one. Do not be fooled by the less than 1.0 version, there is already a substantial story to be experienced.

The writing is excellent and the jokes are funny. The pacing is great. I *really* appreciate the "Telltale-style" confirmation notifications.

I know people who behave *just* like Liam and some of his things legitimately made me laugh out loud.

Good Story
Good Character Design
Really Love this game
Play Only 3EP but i really Enjoy it
and it have both on PC and Android
Game play style like The Walking Dead had a choice to make
different consequence

really a fantastic game ...
DrPinkCake leads with a light hand and a lot of heart and mind the plot.
There is no lack of fun and humor and some surprise - sometimes pleasant,
often dramatic, and sometimes hellishly evil.
Technically A1 - HD resolution - the best game so far!

If you want to play a game to get into a depressed mood and not for sexy times this is the game for you. Everyone in this either has tons of life problems or is just a soulless asshole. Constant tension and drama is not what Im looking for.

Quite possibly the best game I've played in a while. Tells quite a good tale, and the "no game over screen, things can come back to bite you" really gives playing a unique feel instead of trying to 100% horndog into every sex scene possible.
Really recommend this to anyone, it's amazing.

Excellent Story. Author really gets you to invest in the characters, and the story takes you for one ride after another. The sex is good, bad, and sometimes very ugly. The worst of it is, I could see this actually happening to someone. This story embodies secret hopes and fears that everyone must face in life. as such this is far more than spank bank material. Well done indeed.

So, I do not often write comments. but fuck, this game is something. I waited a long time for the enough content, just hoping for a good game, but how could I be wrong. This game is not just good, it's a fucking masterpiece! Maybe it's an emotion, or just not enough gaming experience (although I do not think so), but it seems to me that this is the best game in the genre of erotic novels.
There are a lot of good games on this site, some are very popular, but none of them compare with this one. Firstly, characters, they are prescribed so well that you begin to see in them real people, with their own feelings, and individual traits of character. Some of them you like (not in the sense that you want to fuck them ... well, that too but this is not the main reason), and some of you hate it and it's real feelings.
The second is a plot, not that he tore templates, but for an erotic novel he's pretty damn good. The best thing about him is Liam, he's a fucking generator of excellent, funny and sad situations. Probably this is the best male character I've seen in games of this type, a real bro, which is too ideal for real life (I wish everyone such a bro as Liam)
And of course renderings and models, they are excellent, just fucking excellent ... nothing more to add.
DrPinkCake, if you're reading this, then you should know ... You're damn talented (really, have you made a deal with the devil?). I wish you progress and creative development, success and desire to make such excellent games.
I would like Acting Lessons to live for a long time, but this is your creation and you better know what to do with it. And yes, you are a drama master, but do not overdo it, okay? I certainly love all the gloomy shit, but still ... I hope you know what you're doing with us))

Great storrytelling, fantastic renders and animations and choices that really make a difference throughout the game. In addition one of the cutest main characters i've seen. Regular Updates, thx DrPinkCake

If your looking for your typical sex-fest porn game, look elsewhere...

This game has an amazing story ! and tons of likable characters, but it also doesnt skip on the naughty, plenty of scenes with just about all the girls for your fapping needs.

Story - 5/5 - A story of a man who seemed to have gone MGTOW due to a previous experience that you find out about, meets a young girl who is down on her luck and decides to help her. Along the way you meet other people who each have their own side stories that may or may not entangle with your own.

Characters - 5/5 - From the Main girl, to the bitch of an ex, all the characters are wonderful and fullfill their roles to the max. The highlight of the game is Liam your best bud, who is using one of the stereotypical black models that in any other game exists solely to NTR you, but here, he is a total Bro, cant say more than that, you have to play the game to experience his awesomeness.

Graphics - 4.5/5 - All the models are attractive (some are downright amazing), the renders are very good, and the variety of locations is well utilized.

Ok where do I start - this is an exceptional piece of writing - the story and character development raises the bar significantly for an adult visual novel ( only a couple of other writers can compare) the general layout and game interface are simple and easy to use , renders add to the whole immersive experience that is this game - the story has everything romance,laugh out loud comedy , tragedy and passion as well - something for everyone. The writer has an innate ability to draw the player into the story and invest in the various characters depicted. All in all a fantastic game

Well written. I felt anger, sadness, even love and hatred in the writing. Combine that with plenty of choices, and gorgeous graphics. You get a game worthy of my top 5. I've played a lot of similar games in the past. Never have i felt the need to write a review until now. This is worth it.

Great writing, great characters (all well characterized and coherent with themselves), great way to build scenes (does Dr Pink work as a movie director?), sex is the consequence of your choices and not just something that happens and has to be justified.

While the art is good and the porn is fun, it's genuinely the story on this one that draws you in and hooks you. The characters are all marvelous, and it's nice to see a One True Threesome setup if you pursue that path!

Really great writing. Character you grow to feel for. Story twists you do not expect. Girls that are well rendered and sexy. Good fun and serious situations all throughout.

High production values too. One of the best I have ever played.

Never before has any of these games prompted me write a review. Most are, meh, some really make me laugh. This particular game drags me into the whole role and really establishes sentiment for all of the characters. The narrative and decisions are brutal, and the last few chapters are HUGE cliffhangers, but the suspense is something straight out of a best selling novel. I've never read or watched anything before that had my heart pound so hard and actually stir out tears of sorrow.

This game increase the quality of the porn games and put them on another level because the lack of the movies is sex scenes which in 21 century shouldn´t happen but it does but then 95% of porn games have the problem of lack of quality stories, however 'Acting Lessons' are the opposite, is a game where you can have sexual thoughts but you will think about the story and about the characters also, you will love them and will understand why they are acting like that.
It´s so mature and it´s and improvment for the industry that we can be very proud about it.

The story is fantastic and really engaging. I feel like the choices really matter, especially towards the latest updates. You really develop some attachments to the characters in the store, whether it is with your best friend, or any of the potential lovers. I feel like there aren't any fillers and the story progresses with each choice. Also, the humor is great and really adds to the story.

Was a favorite but this tragic, depressive stuff is not what I play these games for. If I want this I would watch movies or TV-shows that have it, and I barely watch any of those. So just disappointed in the direction.

One of the best written games out there... Heavily influenced by TellTale's games visual novel style.

The 3dcg renders are on par with 'Big Brother' but there is none of the grinding and repetitive 'game-play' from that game. This game actually features a narrative that feels that is going somewhere.

Story isn't boring and you really do feel like your choices have some impact on the plot (albeit only minimal impact, though it feels like a major impact.)

This adds to a replay value, where you want to play again with different choices and see how things turn out.

A huge plus: In a sea of games with incest there are non of that in this game.
