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

Absolutely brilliant game, I believe it is the best one on the whole site, no other game hits you in the feels and makes you care about the cast like this one does, the game is a real gem, great writing, great renders, great female characters, and of course Liam .
I did not expect much going into it, yet it somehow brought me through a full emotional spectrum, from laughing out loud, to holding back tears, and when the game was over I had to process it all, in order to move on, which is quite a peculiar feeling in this kind of game, I do not do emotional, yet the writing, and the endings really touched me, the end poem was actually quite beautiful .
I really cannot recommend this game enough, this raises the bar very very high for any games that follow, and hopefully will become the new standard when it comes to making a VN, just wow, DrPinkCake you have delivered something truly special, and in so doing have taken the genre to a whole other level .

(Copied and paste from my post in the thread, almost the exact same thing)

God damn this story, I wasn't going into it thinking I'd be feeling this, crying over it, but here we are and that's how I am about it.

I don't really know why people are talking badly about the ending to be honest, it might not have been the happiest of endings, a somewhat sombre but happy ending if anything, but it wasn't bad at all, it was handled decently enough and gave enough details about how things panned out, I think emotions are getting in the way of what people thought about the ending.

But god damn if didn't bring out some emotions in me, things really got to me as it was playing along, from one specific point onward; I enjoyed it despite not really knowing what to expect, I went in mostly blind, I was just going into it thinking it was just something else to get off to, it still is mind you, it has good content for that purpose, but also a level of seriousness to it that not a lot of other adult visual novels have.

One thing I will say however, if you follow the story and feel emotions to it though, I don't know how many sex scenes there are after a certain point in the story, I can see 2 things in Episode 7 and there's 3 in Episode 8, the problem I'm having is, they're placed very strangely with regards to the story, I mean say you're getting emotional about it, maybe crying too, then all of sudden, sex scene, it's a bit jarring, feeling one thing and then being hit with something that makes you feel something COMPLETELY different, besides that the rest of it is fine, but those last parts seemed out of place.

I don't know how the other endings pan out, whether certain things are different with the characters depending on choices earlier on, like how it ends with one of the girls depending on how you approach the whole thing, what happens if you choose to just sleep with anyone and not really care? Do you end up being in relationship with one of the girls by the end or does it end with you being on your own? I think I could replay it from a solely objective stand point, playing it out a specific way to see how events pan out without letting my own feelings get in the way of the decision making, as I'm interested to know "how deep the rabbit hole goes".

It's a mostly solid story and I commend the writer for writing it as they have done, there's enough choices (though how many of them actually change anything is a question to be answered) to come back and find out what you could do differently, answer a question differently or choose another action, that kind of thing, it's enjoyable.

This is my first review on this site!
A well written storyline, this is the first game in which I have not missed any conversation with the characters.
Good rendering of characters, and the main thing is that they really have their own character.
















Sorry for my english, she is not my mother tongue.

Great story and full respect to DrPinkCake. He stuck to his guns and delivered what he envisioned. Caused a hell ofa lot of emotion and will have people talking about it for a long time to come.

Good work!

Best Game I played here.
This one hit me in the feels.
Made me cum, made me smile, made me laugh and made me bawl my eyes out.
I feel in love with Melissa (so well written and so fucking beautiful), feel in bro-love with Liam (lovable and so funny).
Some of the horrible things that happen in the game kinda feels like they come out of no-where, but they sure are effective.
When you play it, play it like you would in real life, not the way porn games are usually played, just some advise.

The author probably has some real-life problems it he let the story to develop into one particular ending. You can't even control it after the 1st or 2nd chapter!
One of the endings is so awful and un-controlable, that I hated this game after finishing it.

This games hits me hard, as i was also cheated by my ex. This is the best game I've ever played in my whole life. Not the best porn game, but the best game. EVER. So emotional. Never in my life would I thought that I will cry myself while playing A PORN GAME. Thank you for this wonderful game, DrPinkCake. You made me believe in life again. Will definitely become a patron. You deserved every single penny that you make and more.. Thank you thank you thank you

One of the best VN I ever played. Really good plot and nice girls. Renders of the girls are really good. It's fascinating what happens at the end of the game. Worth playing for all different endings. Thanks a lot!

this game is good and some scenes are hot and all. but i think it is a bit over dramatic for a h game.
props to the artist
i am looking forward to play his other games in future.
keep up the good work

Holy shit this game was a major downer. I came here for the lewds and spent the last few hours bawling my eyes out. The fuck man? You ain't supposed to be able to do that shit with a porn game.

Acting Lessons hit me square in the feels, hard. DrPinkCake has some magic scriptwriting skills. I cannot wait for whatever comes next.

10/10

I love this game so far. I played this all day long. This game filled with charming characters. At first I started this for jerking off, but how lovely the story is. Despite I'm not good at english(because I'm korean), but I couldn't help keep playing the game all day.

Incredibly compelled by the story. While the renders are beautiful, I see this game as more than something for you to get off too. I have never felt so much playing through a game like this. I recommend this game to anyone (that is 18+ obviously )

I junped in to this game hoping it was a porn game where you bang chicks per say... But it gave me so much much more. This game is truly a masterpiece, oscar worthy. I am know to be the one who doesn't cry at these petty things, but this game ...aww man .. I can't believe it made me cry. Amazing just amazing. Bravo!

If you want to see amazing 3d models, if you want to see really well animated sex scenes ... and if above all else you want to FEEL. Play this game. Now!

This game is awesome, playes in another league. Graphics fantastics and a deep story with a heavy emotional ending. Congrats to the dev. Love all the caracters, Lovely Rena and Mellissa and Megan but speciially Liam that is a God.

Realistic dialogues, awesomely written characters, beatiful art, difficult choices.... Downloaded the game because of Melissa's looks. Wasn't expecting what I got... It deserves 7 stars (1 for Liam alone) but loses 1 star for not offering one specific option, and 1 more because the rating only goes up to 5.

Superb game, nice dialogs, nice pace and nice story, great models and good sex scenes, incredibly complex also, with many ways to play it as you prefer. Unfortunately (for me) the last couple of updates kind of derailed it all with what I felt was unnecessary and forced drama, which is a bit of a turn off, until then the game was almost perfect.

Absolutely loved my first playthru, even with the heart wrenching way my ending played out. I wish more adult VN's could make me laugh and punch me in the feels this hard. Hands down the best adult VN i've played through, I hope DrPinkCake hits a home run with the next game as well.

The story in the Vn is epic, and keeps you invested through out, its a emoitnal rollercoaster. At times you almost forget it's a game and feels it's real. And Liam, man, Liam is one of the funniest and best jiminy cricket esq Wingmans I have ever seen in a book, movie, or game. The end credit scenes, and his stunts and jokes through out the game/Vn, had me actually laughing out loud.

This is a great game and I really like it but I'm quite disappointed because it forces me to focus too much on Megan
and I can't have a choice with other girls like Rena, ex Ana, Hedwig and Angle and finally Leah. I really like Leah, I hope the developer will make more opportunities with other girls
