I went for Mel and Meg in my main playthrough, ignoring/rejecting all others.
SO I went ahead and played this, things was all and good and THEN THIS HAPENS...

Yep, guess I'm done with this game; don't get this wrong, it's a great game and it's pretty well written, but I don't like at all the tragic turn that it started to take; some people compared this game to Depraved Awakening (one of my favorite game) but to me they are nothing alike: DA is dramatic while Acting Lessons is just depressing; every update piles up tragedies on top of tragedies and ultimately playing games for me must be an enjoyable experience, something that AL is not anymore, I mean

And this is only episode 6 of 8 XD. As I said i have no problems with people liking this kind of story and I respect the author decision to stick with it but this is too depressing for me.
Yeah it's a great game but i will just depack and check renders without reading text for the next updates to not depress myself to death.

I compared Depraved Awakening to Acting Lessons in the sense that they both provoke feelings and emotions out of you, have you connect and feel for the characters and make you feel a certain type of way when whatever happens, i.e. many got upset when Stella got shot to death and there was nothing to prevent it, and she was the favorite of many. But when it comes to the story elements, yeah they're very different. But these 2 are TRUE novels respectively :p

I agree with that, however DA is a noir thriller game that was pretty dark to begin with (murders, rape, sex slaves trafficking etc.) while AS started as an adult romance novel and later turned into a full blown tragedy; I almost expect a classic rocks fall everyone dies ending at this point :coldsweat:.

I composed myself and will give my thoughts about this game and update:

Totally Agree !!!

The fact that you emotional react of the story and the choice, show that you're in the story.
By the way, as the dev said, it's more an adult game than a porn game. And the porn part is just a "plus". I feel the game this way.
So I'm not in great mood today, I'll way to play (or not ;).

But all these things and reactions show one thing : people are emotionally catched by the story, and that's a great success for the dev !

Well, perhaps all these tragic events are happening at a too short of a time span, pretty much all at once, that's a bit much. It could even be better if after every tragedy there was something good and lovely in between before new tragedy, or something along those lines. But seeing as this is only an 8-episode story, that can't really be done. So we start good, head toward bad, but who knows how it ends, can only hope for the best. Seems to me that we will have an unavoidable death here, just like in DA, but, well that's life unfortunately, can't save everyone I guess.

Damn, I kind of hate that I respect this so much. I haven't quit, but at times I was tempted to.

But that being said, nothing justifies any shit being thrown pink's way
No, but it's the same problem for eatch writer I think. How many people complains about this guy or this girls that dies in Game of Th*** ??!!
It's the same, it's just a sad way that show you that you're story and character bulding are a success. (I think)

The simple answer is, for the most part, it's not what people come to these games for.

It's like questioning why you wouldn't want blood and gory horror elements in a porno movie. Nothing wrong with that slasher stuff, but not often what you're looking for in the genre.


People complaining about the game and demanding changes and doing anything other than just silently stop playing is annoying. But all the people acting like there's no reasoning behind people wanting to stop playing are also being pretty disingenuous IMHO



And on another note. We all love Liam, but how sad is it that his character model immediately makes you think "cucking/competition/ntr" so the dev literally gives him DICK LIMPING CANCER to make it 100% clear that he's just there to be your friend. Damn :(
Right, but don't you think that episodes 1 to 4 were more overwelming welcoming from public audience?
Then how the problem would be the lack of porn? And not the direction shapshifting where the game is going toward, from hapiness utopia from a more sober reality?

The vision of the author was to give a adult experience with a different range of emotion from it. You said yourself that you liked Liam, why is that? If he was this goofy person that would act on your back, would you feel the same? If he didn't portrated both a friendship connection and showed that he needed your help in a deep level that he won't have trusted to no one else, would you actually care as much as you do claim, about this character?

In life one cannot always win. Some times it's required to lose something in order to appreciate and love how wonderful one thing really is/was. For instance, Ana had to lose MC to value him, however both MC and Ana both suffered a great deal of emotional stress and pain, that's life. Experiences are bond with emotions, some times they weren't always pleasing.

The real problem here is that these recent events are so tragic that no amount of good will ever be enough to compensate

; to me the difference between a dramatic story and a tragic one is right here: in the dramatic one shit happens but there is a chance to get a happy ending, in the tragic one things are so bad that the possibility of a positive ending is not even there.
