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

I really liked the story! Really did! It took me through the whole range of emotions in a very fluent way.
Graphics and animations were also extremely appealing to me.

Only reason I gave four instead of five stars is:

The choices are meaningless for the endresult. I mean... I REALLY tried to get the game to end in a different, less soul-crushing way. But it seems in the end you absolutely HAVE to make that damn choice . I would have appreciated to be warned...

A cut above the rest of the other games. Not to downplay any other creator but this actually made me like the characters enough to make me feel bad when I made bad choices that lead to them being hurt. It made me approach the girls of the story less as onaholes and more like people.

Should I take advantage of the obvious power disparity between me and this girl, even if they appear to want me? Should I rush in to have sex with the girl with serious personal and family problems? Is that healthy for them and for me?

5/5. A must-play for people trying visual novels. One of the few I've not deleted after playing around with it.

One word: PERFECT

It had happiest moments,funniest moments and soul crushing moments. In the end I didn't care about graphics or animations, story took me in great journey and rub beautiful characters to my mind. I think I'm not gonna forget them.

Surprisingly a very well written game with great characters. Enjoyed the art, music and dialogue. The game is so much more than your average porn game & you can tell a lot of work has been put into it.

Keep up the good work!

All the compliments listed are right. This game was great. It is so very well written. It probably has my favorite, "MC's Best friend" in a game. Also this game has quite a twist that I did not see coming. Kudos and thanks for a gem.

I Got totally Caught Up in the Story. Story is Very Captivating. It is Not Often That I Wind Up Staying Up all Night Playing a Game. This is One Exception ! Wow, Fantastic Story and Characters. Everything was Amazing.

I'm going to rate this game as a person who sits down to play a game and not as a person who sits down to jerk off.
This game was as wonderful as it was difficult to digest. I really don't want to spoil much, but it made me feel so deep inside the story that I think it ended up hurting my feelings. Still, I have to rate it 5, because I really enjoyed that a game gets you so into the story that it can even make you feel bad. It really hurt.
I played Acting Lessons after playing BADIK and maybe that also affected my perspective on this game.
Dr. PinkCake, as I said in BADIK, here you have another fan. Your stories are fantastic, and the graphics and design team are too. Thank you.

This feels like a proper visual novel game. Great story and writing. Actual choices and consequences. Really good characters and dialogues. Really nice music. Real emotions. All of this is great and because of it the game is really engaging. You really want to play this more to find out what happens next. Definitely main focus of AL is story. It's a story driven game and it's really good in what it's doing. It's amazing VN experience. But it comes with the price.
This game is not a very good fap material. Renders, characters and animations are all very good, but they're not that many scenes in the game and sometimes story is getting so intense that you're definitely won't be thinking about getting laid. This game for sure can use slogan: i came for sex, stayed for the story. This is not a bad thing. Game is still excellent but for a porn game, porn here is definitely not the main thing. And this could be a little disappointing.

Alright game up to ep 4 or half of 5th, just do yourself a favor and stop playing there. Better to leave it in the middle then see it endings (no difference witch one)
Up to ep 4 Game deserve a solid 3+ or 4-

Edit: swaped rate from 2 to 1 cous i take in consideration the fact it supose to be a "pron game" and such plot twist destroy any even the slightest pleasure leaving you with just sadness or rage instead

I wanted to give four stars to this game because it's well-made, but this game is simply not "good porn" for me.

Ever heard of the difference between an eroge and a nukige? Eroge is a visual novel where sex is there but might be not the main focus. Some games even remove the sex scenes for a mainstream release. It's an extra, not the main appeal. Nukige is a subgenre in eroge where sex is the main focus and a central element.

Acting Lessons feels more like a traditional eroge. The story takes itself seriously. Very seriously. It gets very, VERY dramatic, especially towards the end. It almost doesn't want to be a porn game. It doesn't try to turn you on for the most part. The characters look great, but that's about it. It's not a pervert experience.

The story centers around you, a middle-aged man with a background in cryptocurrency trading, telling the story of how you met a girl named Megan during a life changing day. Megan is a young aspiring actress down on her luck and in desperate need for help. Will, you be there for her when she needs it the most and help her turn the tide? Will you be able to win her heart?

This is my first playthrough, I got an ending i consider good for me. From what i learn from reviews and other posts in this thread, there is no all happily ever after for everyone. From what i know, the developer achieved what he/she set to do with this without compromising his/her artistic direction. The endings and gameplay might not be for everyone in this forum. If you are looking for just a good fap, this game is not for you. If you want an amazing Renpy game with funny lovable relatable unique characters, good laughs, unexpected plot twists and heart wrenching endings and tragedies. You found the right game.

Gran gioco
Davvero emozionante
non credevo di trovare una storia cosi ben scritta in un gioco di questo tipo

Great game

Really exciting

I didn't think I could find such a well-written story in such a game

That ending was fucking great (I never saw it coming). The development of each of the characters was amazing, it shows that the developer was careful in this regard. The story always kept that intrigue that keeps you going until the end (a little cliche but different than usual for the most part). One of the best games I've come across so far, i was very impressed (can't describe it). 10/10

Renders were nice 5/5
Story 2/5

Had to give my two cents on this game.

Seeing as how good the ratings was and looking at the tags, I gave this game a go!

Unfortunately, this journey of a roller-coaster ride was a road to never-land. The game added in elements of real life consequences and action/reaction moments which was totally cool and realistic but I think that there has to be limits.

The result of no limits is the addition of the ugly human nature; which made the story go downhill.

I wanted a 2nd, 3rd play-through to see what other consequences I might have but upon thinking of making a choice about human life; this game is not for me.

Animations - 4*

Story - 2* (5* for the early episodes)

Gameplay - 4*

Total - 3*

this was my introduction to VN's and now I'm hooked, but this set the bar waay too high. I found nearly all the characters extremely endearing which was a huge surprise considering what I thought this would be so the writing is pretty great!

The good: Great characters and visuals, awesome writing and engaging story. I love that so many of your choices have major impacts on the story. 2/3 of the game was amazing and I was really excited to play it through multiple times and explore the various options.

Then shit fell apart. I don't want to spoil things too much but the story takes an incredibly dark turn and hit me with gut punch after gut punch. This is not what I want from a porn game. I couldn't finish it.

I know many people admire this game. But for me this is even not a porn game. No matter how good story is. Playing this game makes me feel uncomfortable. total boner killer. I couldn't complete this game and deleted.

Story= 4/5
Sex Scene= 3/5
Animations-Image Quality= 3/5
Gameplay= 2/5


TOTAL= 3/5 (AVERAGE GAME )
