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

v0.5.0

- Graphic section - 6/10 - Fair - It seems the dev uses default models for his 3D graphic design program, without major modifications. It means that the characters have been seen already in a hundred of games: Liam's 3D model is "Darius 7", Melissa's is "Rossalind for Genesis 8", Ana's is "Mckayla HD", there are also "Vivienne for Genesis 8", "Jolina HD for Victoria 7", "Robert for Genesis 8", etc. etc. etc.
So, the 3D design of the characters lack of personality and uniqueness. The worst one is the main feminine character, Megan. His face is pretty bland and her facial expressions reminds me a Muppet, for some reason.

Also, using default body models, all the bodies are similar and already seen in a hundred of games: siliconed pornstars or perfect slim top-models. There is no variety.

- Story, characters and dialogues - 8/10 - Good - The premise is a classic fantasy for any middle aged man, already exploited in "Dating My Daughter", for example (except the incest): The MC is a guy wealthy enough, but in the middle of a crisis of the middle age after a toxic relationship with a bitch. One day, he finds kind of a young damsel in distress, helps her and becomes in her protector, so the girl falls for him and he feels young and attractive again. And that happens not once, but three times so far in the game with three different girls.

About the girls, most of them have "daddy issues" and/or problems facing real life, and are most than eager to find a paternal figure that protects them. Obviously they fall for that substitute daddy. Neither the mature man nor the girls realize that that's not true love, but neediness and gratitude, but somehow the man finds himself with an harem of young women in his bed, so, good for him

Also, there are two classic party girls, the kind of character to spice up the plot, and an older and independent woman that actually is the unique suitable romantic partner for the MC because she likes him just because she finds him attractive, not because she needs his protection or financial help.

Last, there is Liam, the funny and a bit childish sidekick of the MC. The classic comic relief.

So, the premise isn't really original, but it's OK, it's interesting. The dev. achieves the goal of making credible characters and the dialogues and interactions are good enough to make the player bond with the characters and actually care for them. It seems that the dev knows how to write a script, since he uses some of the tricks and resources to maintain the attentions that can be seen in TV series, comics, etc.

- Eroticism and sex - 3/10 - Fail - Actually, it seems the eroticism and sexual scenes are not really important for the dev. Pretty vanilla all of them, nothing really kinky. I have skipped fast most of them, since seeing the umpteenth image or animation of a 3D default character performing a blowjob or a lesbian kiss in a game doesn't catch my attention.

- Playability - 4/10 - Fail - This game is a Visual Novel, actually pretty lineal. That would be OK if not because there is a system of decisions that gives the player points of friendship and relationship if chooses the right one. But actually, this is a fake, at least for Megan, the main feminine character.

It's suppose the main goal of the game is to "win the heart of Megan", as the dev says. Well, Megan is going to fall for the MC no matters what, even if the player chooses all the wrong decisions and doesn't get any point. So all the system of points and decisions, at least for that character, is just a trick to create in the player the fake sensation of being in charge. I´m sorry, but I think the dev shouldn't "cheat" the players that way.

I don't know if that happens with other characters too. I have not played trying to mess up the things with Melissa, for example. Maybe the decisions about other characters actually mean something, I don't know.

Global grade - 8/10 - Good game after all - I know that the grades of most of the previous sections were way lower, but in spite of its flaws, this game has certain charm that makes the whole better than the sum of its parts. It's pretty rare to find an erotic game that is not asking for skipping fast most of the dialogues and scenes.

This story is very beautiful, never thought i could feel really bad for cheating in just a game like this.
Liam is a best bro. He made me laugh countless times, but also tears in my eyes when i saw him suffer. Its so sad too see him in the situation like this. Really hope he can get a happy ending.
It was very emotional when i followed the story of Mellisa. I probably like Mellisa the most among of those girls atm.
It very rare to have a game when you could feel emotional attached to the characters like this. Very well development, well done.

This game quickly became my favorite and i've played alot of games from this site and this one just beats any other game by far, The story is just outstanding the characters are amazing and the quality is very good as well, and in my opinion this game is just THE BEST! there will be hardly any other game to beat this one.

Easily a top 5 game. Raises the bar on all fronts. Honestly the only thing I can think to complain about is the hair. The model's hair could be better. But I've seen much worse and it doesn't detract from the experience at all. Some of the best writing I've encountered in any "adult" product.

excellent game. great job.
sensational and engaging story.
The transition from one chapter to another is very good, always giving the next one a hook.
All the girls are hot. Even Ana that sucks.
waiting for the next next chapters.

super good writing. the girls are really hot. i am really into this game and cant wait for more!

its not often that theres a game with polyamory being a main aspect and i just really enjoy that. no ntr, just a fun game however you wanna play

also no game overs is awesome. too many games these days seem to be like 'nope, wrong, you lose' and that shit is lame. this game doens't have that. you pick wrong? you just don't get the highest score. thats perfect

Really enjoyed the story. Also the engine choice to have a "Your Decision will have consequence" added at certain points. Love it. Was easy to get into the characters and 'root' for the couple (oh, and completely hate Anna).

Absolutely great job (but could have used some more 'fan service'..just saying)

Holy Shit. I came here to feel up my dick, but ended up feeling my emotions. This game is a fucking soapbox opera disguised as a simple erotic visual novel. Well written, and surprisingly thought out story that forces you to make hard- ass decisions and see them all the way through. There's no "game over" like in most other things when you do something morally wrong. You gotta stick with that shit until the game ends, and see everything change from a single yes or no answer. Probably one of the best visual novels I've ever played - which is really odd considering the pornographic content of it.

Great storyline, nice rendering, many choices to make and best of all each character mood is affected through the choices you make almost like virtual dating side in it without time spent too much into it as it is visual novel after all.

Probably The best story-telling I've ever encountered in an adult game. The characters and their interactions are realistic. Although the sex scenes are spicy, it is one of those games that you play really for the story and the characters, not just for its sexual contents.
Recommended for anyone looking for a good story rather than just a material for masturbation.

For me the best game on here. Really good writing. Each of the characters has a distinct character and character development. The art is really well done as well. There even is a gallery for replaying scenes. The game has a nice structure and of course I like games were choices matter and they really do here. I like the concept of episodes. Excellent game.

I just completely fell in love with this VN. The writing is both comedic and very serious at times. But in my opinion, the best part of this game are the characters. They all have their own feel to them, and it seems like the creator put a lot of time into them. This game is worth a try!

wow just wow!!!!played for the first time and completely hooked to this game.id say this game is on top 3 right now on my list.story and bgm plus renders are captivating and felt so real.the girls are hot,but my fave is megan ofc.well done DrPink

Just done with playing episode 5

This game is great, enough content, enough sex scenes(if you allow it) I was following the story and noticed how good this game is, also the music in the background is good even during some scenes the music change to better suit the scene you're in which is nice.
Also very nice to see is that your friend is actually a good friend and not someone who wants the girl for themselves,
I even laugh with some of the jokes he makes.

Extra add since the game is finished

Loved it the whole way, best VN game ever, this game is worth it to be in the popular games section, loved every portion of the game, there are some choices which you need to choose, and some choices are hard to think about but in the end it all works out(but depends what your choices are)
Thank you dev for making such great wonderful game, I even got a bit emotional once again very good game, it is worth it to play it through.

thank you very much
Excellent game!
With super sexy girls!
it's just that the animations are a little basic but I loved playing it!
I expected the result with impatience!
Good luck and keep it up
Sorry for my english, i'm french and i use google translate

Great game with a multitude of options that all lead down fairly different paths. Great comedic writing. Great writing in general, one of the few games where dialogue very rarely feels stilted. Quality system in place for tracking the status of your relationship with all of the characters as well.

Very well crafted storyline with multiple story arcs and quite an original concept. It's not grind based, has some scenes that genuinely made me laugh and others that made me relate to them. Renders are very well done, the game isn't based on the mindlessly repetitive grind. It does have animations, but in all honesty, they could be better. What I really liked about the game is that you aren't forced to be tethered to a single main female character, you have the option to develop the story towards another one you may like more. And another thing I respect is the amount of work put into the updates. Long story short, this game is worth your time.

Great game and and an imersive story excellent renders and very good job, by the developers, really enjoyable game characters are very interesting and sometimes very funny. can't wait for more episodes.

The comedic value of Liam(the black guy) coming out from the side of the presentation photo is off the charts.

Definitely the most enjoyable story around here. In the grand scheme of things it's not necessarily original but it is well rounded and the characters are mostly believable, the author did a good job of humanizing them.

The author also did great with the dialogue options, giving the player the impression that the story can go in any direction, which is fairly amazing, that said once you replay it once you realize that it can't go in that many directions though it's still above average in replayability.

If it has any shortcoming it's probably the traditional "all the female characters want to fuck you", that said most people like this and I usually don't mind it either as long as it's entertaining or interesting or if the game offers a different challenge and it does do a little of all those.

At last, a truly Adult game/VN in the fullest sense of the word, not just a collection of sex scenes. Highly involving grown-up script with proper adult situations, great characters, excellent renders (Leah's lips possibly excepted but that's a very minor point), a plethora of choices all with consequences. Utterly fascinating, a story that engenders strong emotions from its audience. If only there were more to this high standard. Enjoy the ups and downs just as you would a decent (if rare) movie.
