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

Loved this game. The art looks great and the story was very compelling with some great characters. The theme is an original one and the way your character comes in contact with others seems natural. At very few times I didn't really care for the dialogues, but most of times they were fun and with a good variance in tone.
In terms of porn content, I didn't think it was very spectacular but certainly above the norm. Interesting that the developer went for the more real look. Not really my thing in these kinds of games, but in this case, it was a welcome change, Although I still had the hots for Smurf . Didn't go for her though, since the game was interesting enough to go for something else.

The animations close to the best what you'll find and I didn't run into any bugs or language problems.

Very interesting musical theme at the end btw. Never expected that.

The Good
-The rendering is the best I've seen.
-The story is great.
-It does branch but not too much to break the game.
-The gals, the girls in this game are pretty great all around.

The Bad
-The story is somewhat too real and it seems that it forgets what it is trying to be.
-The MC is very bland, not in great shape, not packing any heat, and no personality traits.

Overall I'd recommend to anyone who is interesting in a somewhat vanilla story with great renderings.

My opinion about Acting Lessons

Pros:
- Great story with great characters
- Good renders
- Soundtrack and SFX is on point
- Choices matter

Cons:
- Animations could have been a little better

Rating: Top tier VN. Play it. 5 out of 5.

Love this game. It emotionally got me connected to the characters to the point I was crying and getting mad in some scenes. Excellent story where the twist at the end totally took me off guard. The character animations were awesome.

This is a beautiful game. I never could have guessed how much I would actually enjoy playing it. Beautiful renders, great pacing in the story - and what a SURPRISE the story was! I enjoyed it 100% and will probably go for round 2 right after this review to complete the gallery.

As always, I appreciate the effort anyone puts toward making these games for our benefit. That said, the story is completely absurd, pointlessly violent, with deeply unlikable characters. Especially for something that is made for sexual content, it is bizarre the level of silly, distractive elements there are. The art is okay.

One of the best games on this site. Everything is perfect in this game. I love every character in this game. The game also has some kind of twists. Also every character feels realistic, their body and personality is another level. It's hard to find a game with such a great story. Do yourself a favor!

First of all - rich and engaging plot, and it's not a ligh-hearted game - story is emotional, so if you're ready for the "feel ride" then it's your best bet

There's obviously some adult content (duh!), but to be honest - this game would be perfectly fine without it. Don't get me wrong, renders are great, but the main value of this game lies within its story, and let me tell you, it's a story worth your every minute. On one hand you have streamlined plot that won't change THAT much based on your actions, but on the other hand you have over 20 endings... So find some time (like quite a few hours) and enjoy this without interuptions, it's like reading a great book or watching an amazing movie, that you can shomewhat shape to your own style. And even though it may not seem like it at first - overall story is really motivating to think and care about life and enjoy it, even if it would be easier to blissfully give up
Also - it's on Steam! if you enjoyed it as much as I did go there and spend these few buck (if you can afford it) to show some support for DrPinkCake

Cheers!

Somewhat overrated, there is only one route with 3 endings and a fistfull of optional sex scenes. The ending abandon the romantic comedy genre and shift to thriller with the introduction of a villain and some drama but it's on the level of a cheap telemovie. Characters psychology is sometime a bit off with for exemple the protagonist having some kind of serious PTSD because his fiancee cheated on him.
Lastely, there is little choices, for exemple, you can't refuse to romance Megan, being rude to her change nothing, she'll still fall for you.

Just wow, best VN i ever played. For better experience disable hints e play like what u really do in those situations and be prepared for strong feelings and lots of emotional stuff. This is the point, cuz adult games is pretty boring if is all about sex scene, like porn intro that u dont care what is happening.

Dr PinkCake made a masterpiece here, really thank you.

This game is absolutely off the charts good. I mean AAA 10/10 GOTY exceptional. The story, story-telling, writing, characters, graphics, pacing.. the lot are so good I almost feel bad that due to it being an adult game it probably will never get the mainstream recognition it deserves.

If you are strictly looking for a sex game / fap-material then look elsewhere. Don't get me wrong there's plenty of sex and hot scenes but sex in my opinion very much plays a secondary role in this game... and in the case of this game, rightly so.
However if like me you are an avid gamer outside of adult games then you are in for a treat.

Genuinely one of the best games I've played regardless of adult or not.

Amazing game. Honestly, I could have a blast just reading the screenplay of Acting Lessons. The characters are beautifully animated and fleshed out. (Literally). Everyone has a distinct personality. I genuinely cared about each of the characters, which I had expected going in (I had read the reviews), and by the end of the 5-hour journey they felt real to me. Dialogue is snappy, laugh-out-loud at points, and the drama never feels overwrought.

Tightest writing in the Adult VN circle.

Last but not least, Megan is adorable and best girl.

The story was phenomenal. I actually felt the emotions through all the characters. The characters also have great depth and backstories. The choices truly left an impact. Even choices at the very beginning changed the whole story.

The story is an unexpected emotional rollercoaster, without using cheesy plot twists, having lovely characters, really hard to forget after you finish it.

Overall an amazing work done by one person, totally deserve praise for it

Being able to create something like this shows the tough experiences the creator must have gone through. But he has managed to turn them around into a enjoyable experience for the world to understand.

Best game i have played since 4 years playing erotic games, nearly 400, from here.
After completeing this game i was so impressed that i bought it at steam to support the developer.

Dont know what i should write more, i am even flashed.

Ok wow played through this the first time 30 mins ago and this was something else, like a really good book or a movie that really sucks you in, once you start playing you really cant stop until you have to, infact i got emotional and i dont get emotional often, a few movies or series' make me go over the edge but this game was the first one to do it to me i really felt like i was in the game, i felt like i was the one talking, felt like.. i dont even know.

If you read this and are thinking about playing this, i dont even know just play it this game is a work of art

While I am not a fan of the "nuclear option" that the dev went with at the end of C.6, there is no question that this is a superbly well made adult game.

Renders, h-scenes, story-telling, soundtrack choice are all top notch. Attention to detail was also amazing, from initially concealing the MC's face in the photo to the really sweet epilogue for the maybe 2% of people who'd actually choose to explore the "going back to the old girlfriend" route. (I played to 8 endings - there's actually 22 possible in the game).

Special mention goes to the editing. It isn't just best in class, it's actually better than many Hollywood movies. The jump cut from Megan talking about Liam to Liam at the night club, for example, was better than any transition Znyder could pull off in his $250m budget BvS, heh.

Easily 5/5.

I loved this game. It had great characters, a nice storyline. The characters did not feel forced upon you like most games. However, the game was ruined at the ending. I lost all interest after chapter 5.

This is the first review I've ever written, because I feel that this game deserves it.

Up until now, this must be the best VN I've played. The strory kept me interested in the game until the very end. While in many games, I tend to skip dialogue, that was not the case in this one.

Choices actually matter and can change the outcome significantly. The plot twists keep the game very interesting.

Characters are well designed and before you know it, you start to relate to them.

I'm not one for many words, but I recommend to each and every one of you to give this game a try.

Many thanks to the developper for this awesome experience.
