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

If your looking for your typical sex-fest porn game, look elsewhere...

This game has an amazing story ! and tons of likable characters, but it also doesnt skip on the naughty, plenty of scenes with just about all the girls for your fapping needs.

Story - 5/5 - A story of a man who seemed to have gone MGTOW due to a previous experience that you find out about, meets a young girl who is down on her luck and decides to help her. Along the way you meet other people who each have their own side stories that may or may not entangle with your own.

Characters - 5/5 - From the Main girl, to the bitch of an ex, all the characters are wonderful and fullfill their roles to the max. The highlight of the game is Liam your best bud, who is using one of the stereotypical black models that in any other game exists solely to NTR you, but here, he is a total Bro, cant say more than that, you have to play the game to experience his awesomeness.

Graphics - 4.5/5 - All the models are attractive (some are downright amazing), the renders are very good, and the variety of locations is well utilized.

Ok where do I start - this is an exceptional piece of writing - the story and character development raises the bar significantly for an adult visual novel ( only a couple of other writers can compare) the general layout and game interface are simple and easy to use , renders add to the whole immersive experience that is this game - the story has everything romance,laugh out loud comedy , tragedy and passion as well - something for everyone. The writer has an innate ability to draw the player into the story and invest in the various characters depicted. All in all a fantastic game

Well written. I felt anger, sadness, even love and hatred in the writing. Combine that with plenty of choices, and gorgeous graphics. You get a game worthy of my top 5. I've played a lot of similar games in the past. Never have i felt the need to write a review until now. This is worth it.

Great writing, great characters (all well characterized and coherent with themselves), great way to build scenes (does Dr Pink work as a movie director?), sex is the consequence of your choices and not just something that happens and has to be justified.

While the art is good and the porn is fun, it's genuinely the story on this one that draws you in and hooks you. The characters are all marvelous, and it's nice to see a One True Threesome setup if you pursue that path!

Really great writing. Character you grow to feel for. Story twists you do not expect. Girls that are well rendered and sexy. Good fun and serious situations all throughout.

High production values too. One of the best I have ever played.

Never before has any of these games prompted me write a review. Most are, meh, some really make me laugh. This particular game drags me into the whole role and really establishes sentiment for all of the characters. The narrative and decisions are brutal, and the last few chapters are HUGE cliffhangers, but the suspense is something straight out of a best selling novel. I've never read or watched anything before that had my heart pound so hard and actually stir out tears of sorrow.

This game increase the quality of the porn games and put them on another level because the lack of the movies is sex scenes which in 21 century shouldn´t happen but it does but then 95% of porn games have the problem of lack of quality stories, however 'Acting Lessons' are the opposite, is a game where you can have sexual thoughts but you will think about the story and about the characters also, you will love them and will understand why they are acting like that.
It´s so mature and it´s and improvment for the industry that we can be very proud about it.

The story is fantastic and really engaging. I feel like the choices really matter, especially towards the latest updates. You really develop some attachments to the characters in the store, whether it is with your best friend, or any of the potential lovers. I feel like there aren't any fillers and the story progresses with each choice. Also, the humor is great and really adds to the story.

Was a favorite but this tragic, depressive stuff is not what I play these games for. If I want this I would watch movies or TV-shows that have it, and I barely watch any of those. So just disappointed in the direction.

One of the best written games out there... Heavily influenced by TellTale's games visual novel style.

The 3dcg renders are on par with 'Big Brother' but there is none of the grinding and repetitive 'game-play' from that game. This game actually features a narrative that feels that is going somewhere.

Story isn't boring and you really do feel like your choices have some impact on the plot (albeit only minimal impact, though it feels like a major impact.)

This adds to a replay value, where you want to play again with different choices and see how things turn out.

A huge plus: In a sea of games with incest there are non of that in this game.

All around great game! The story and character dialogue is great, the renders are superb and there's LIAM! Never thought i would want to have a beer with game character. (maybe I identify with him because I'm the funny bald black guy in my circle of friends...) The game is very well put together. There are so many paths to take. The choices you make do not always have an immediate impact, but it will down the line. Choose wisely (or not) and save often.

I tend to stick to playing "completed" games, but this is one that wanting more. I love the progression!

This is definitely one to try (if you haven't done so already)

That was a one deep story, I like it. Most choices also gave results that I can enjoy. Every emotion felt natural. Despite it's not really my fap-able VN, I'm still going to follow up this one. Thank you for your effort in making this.

Dev makes a great game. The main character Megan is especially good in my opinion. I don't care if he uses standard models in his game, because he reveals them in his own way. I also like rendering and music. Separate credit goes to his hard work. Not everyone can release updates every month with so many new pictures. In the end, we have a great game with a detailed scenario and a great main characters, which also comes out very often. I would like to wish the author success and further development in his work. And good income from the game too.

Acting Lessons is the best VN I have ever played, and I am not just saying that. Too many VNs try too hard to make everything sexualized, and very few create a true love story. Playing through Acting Lessons made me feel as if I was watching a tv show, and at times I even fell in love with some of the characters, especially Megan. I cannot thank you enough for putting your heart and dedication into an absolutely amazing game that fully immersed me. Good luck in the future and keep creating amazing content!

Good scenarios, believable situations and characters, I got to a point where I don't just want to see the sex scenes, I want to see what's going to happen and I really feel worried when I hurt some characters like Liam, Megan or Melissa.
And damn Liam made me laugh out loud more than once.

Maybe I'm doing a little too much but I just feel like playing a Telltale game.

Great game DrPinkCake

Tried this game first time when it came out and shrugged it off as an okay game, nothing spectacular.

Tried it again last weekend as I noticed it was getting quite a lot of good reviews. As of v0.5.0, this is hands of the best visual novel on this site, both storywise and visually! Never thought that an erotic visual novel could make me feel.

Truly deserves a spot in "Popular Games" so people find this gem more easily.

If you want to see a realistic story(besides one plot point which reduce the game from being ''awesome'' to ''it is really nice but I wish that plot point wasn't there'') then you should play this game.

It makes you feel that you are watching and interactive drama-comedy series than playing an adult game. And I am saying this in a good meaning.

Liam is the MAN! And fucking bitch Ana!

----------------------------------------

After the Chapter 5, everything went donwhill. Stay away!

A really good game. Everyone seems to have their own personality and it's not just "Harem girl#1, #2..." And I love that there's a friend, that's just a friend, but is also well written and not just a random person appearing, to fill the game.

Great game, it has everything i look for in a good read With the bonus of T&A lol, comedy, drama, passion even some action and I have to admit it here, when Liam told his health secret to MC it really got to me, I actually felt sorrow for the guy lol. Overall Great game & can't wait for the next content, Kudos to your work into this little gem
