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

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

Great game, though a bit sad.

Everthing should be like this...

Say 5% of the VN's here are could,
count this to the top of that 5%
The only thing that can really tell how good this game is, is trying it out yourself.

Wow, amazing
i've played many many adult games for the past 10-12 years, and this is definitely a top 10 for me - twists turns and honest to god funny, went directly to patreon to support - and i suggest you do the same if we want more content like this.

What I like:
This is a joyride. The story - and at least its main characters - are exceptionally fleshed out for a "kinky game". I personally have discovered 3 of the different endings so far.

What I don't like:

TLDR: If you're looking for a kinky, dramatic rom-com this will totally be your thing to have fun with.

It is difficult to find a story so curated in the structure of the situations (which are wonderful). The characters are extraordinary and give a lot of depth to the game. I can only recommend it, and it is worth playing.

Great drama story, nice soundtrack, awsome renders and characters! Was just expecting a bit more sex action and diversity.
I take my hat to you sir, i think the game has the perfect legth, and on top of that you actually finish it, wich is very rare looking at all those unfinished, abandoned, and money sucking vampires some Dev. become.

Soundtracks in games take the experience to another level, theres only 2 titles that acomplished that, you made 1 of those.

Looking forward for more of ur work

Played up to 3 episodes so far and wow! I loved it. Are you a psychologist? Man you know how to get relationships right! Just love it, the friendship, romance, sex, everything about this game is fantastic.

I would like to specially mention the graphics, the renderings are mindblowing, its amazing, clean, high quality show through and through.

I love every bit of this game, hope you keep creating more such games in future
A big Thank you from my end for this

This VN is not one of those "Bang anything that moves". It's a genuine journey of friendship, happiness, sadness, hope and despair. The game is riddled with meaningful choices in how the story unfolds for the player and the character. Also immaculately selected songs and sounds that makes the whole scene feel more real and impactful.

This game has ruined me. I'm one of the assholes who think along the lines of "I hate NTR, but I want to bang all the chicks blah blah". I can't do that in this game.

The character designs, the writing, the backstories, personalities all of it makes me not want to cheat on any of the girls. I have a serious love/hate relationship with this game. On one hand I want to play how I enjoy it, at the same time my pesky conscious is telling me "no."

I don't mean any negatively about the game. On the contrary, it's too good for me. If I could cheat, turn my character into a God with all three traits without worrying about breaking the choice system, I would have no issue my normal playstyle.

Male characters, the moment they're introduced into the game my first instruct is along the lines of "gotta take this fuck out." the friend in this game is legit. He's definitely a bro, and a God amongst wingmen. Most adult games I feel would be better for me without a side male friend/sibling/father/nefew/whatever character. Yet he somehow makes the game better.

Overall, the game is great. I suggest anyone play it. It might very well be one of, if not the best vn I've played.

Warning: Lots of spoilers in this review, be warned!

Pros:
Acting Lessons is a good visual novel with a deep and compelling story. There are a lot of surprises and tragedy in this game. The author was successful at making the player care and feel deeply about the characters. The story is well done and interesting. The game keeps you hooked the entire time. You will feel a lot of different emotions as you play through the story. The renders are amazing and the animations are well done.

Cons:
Aside from the dream sex scenes, the game actually has very little sex in it (if you stay faithful to Megan at least). After playing through the entire game (version 1.0 with extras), the player only had sex three times (two of those were with Megan). If you are here for the sex and not for a great story you will be disappointed (this isn't the game for you, look elsewhere)! I was hoping for a lot more sex in the game. It is possible to have both - a great story with lots of sex events (there are plenty of examples on this site).

The ending wasn't very believable at all. Leah being a psycho killer freak isn't that believable. Nurses spend most of their time helping others. This is one of those cases where the author wanted to totally catch the player off guard but it ended up being a bit far fetched. This happens all too often in movies as well, "Take the person you least suspect and turn them into the villain." This tactic has been overused so much (especially in TV and movies).

It also wasn't realistic to have the player be in intense therapy for an entire year, yet Megan (who experienced nearly all the same things), was apparently unaffected and went on doing movies while the player was pretty much incapacitated for an entire year.

Several other things bothered me also like being forced to get a tattoo. It has the common visual novel mechanics of having a lot of choices being made for you. The player is often given the "illusion" of choice where many of the choices have the identical same outcome.

Conclusion:
Great story and visuals with very little sex. Play it if you enjoy a deep and engaging story. If you are here for the sex look elsewhere.

Story rating: 4 / 5 (one star removed for the far fetched ending - Leah)
Characters: 5 / 5
Visuals: 5 / 5
Adult / Sex rating: 2 / 5

The best plot that i have played in this kind of games, nice story with various choices and endings. Five stars for this game
DrPinkCake rules, i wish he makes more games in the future with the quality of these one

The best damn game I have ever played.
The story is brilliant and the characters are beautifully modelled and Liam is the most well developed character I have ever seen. He's truly a bro.

Melissa best girl!
