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

At its halfway point, Acting Lessons is already a fantastic game featuring well-developed characters with distinct personalities/poisonalities and top-notch artwork. The game features a beautiful balance of raw emotion, romance and sex rarely seen in Adult Gaming. Nice soundtrack as well.

Those are just words. Compliments. So what do the words mean?

Oh, my dear reader, Acting Lessons is one of those 1 in 500 Adult Games, when, after downloading, you should remind yourself, "its good to be alive!" and you give a wad of cash to the significant other and send the s/o away for the day and empty the house of kids and other distractions. This is because Acting Lessons is a game of immersion to be enjoyed only by you, your favorite liquid refreshment, and Megan and the girls (and Liam, too). You won't be sorry - - and you know what, dear reader? The game only keeps getting better and better...

Easily one of my favorite games on F95. Great choice of models, decent writing and perfect pacing. Not chaining sex scene after sex scene as a fan service, but no grind either.

Damn, i cant even decide who's my favorite. Melissa, Angela Rena are all hot as fuck. I also love that the story is created without all those deus ex machina gimmicks like demons, magic or mind control.

I applaud you, DrPinkCake and you're the reason i'll create a patreon account.

Had to add a review for this great game, to hopefully recommend it to other people to try out. Great story, visuals, music, animations, characters (Liam is hilarious!), and it even teaches you a bit about the acting profession if you're at all interested in that. The only minor downside is that the sex scenes are fairly vanilla so far and sometimes feel a bit short, but that will likely improve as the many various relationships progress, so I'm willing to be patient on that front for now.

This game is awesome.
The writing, the arts and the story are top tier.
all the characters are interesting and seems humans.
this is probably the best porn game i played.

P.S sorry if my english is bad

Renders 5/5: Probably the game with the best renders I've ever seen. So 5 stars just for the renders.

Story 3/5: The story is MEH, the whole acting theme is reather irellevant. Also it tries to be more a visual novel than a sex game, I feel really bad that Liam got cancer. Most of the girls want a relationship instead of having fun.

Sex 3/5: Looks good but it is rather vanilla, almost no kinks. Also no sex sounds and almost no text. Megan who the game forces you to foucs in doesn't give up the goods (lame).

Girls 3/5: The girls are very pretty, they have a very natural look to them. It would have been intresting to see more variety in the body shapes, biggest boobs are C cup. Also I kind hate Megan she is boring AF and I am way more intrested in any of the other gals.

TLDR: Great graphics, kind of vanilla. Still one of the best games I've seen, the developer clearly knows what he is doing.

Finally a friend who I'm actually caring about. I actually felt that I disappointed Liam by going for the douchy cheating route and fucking the blue-haired chick. Good dialouge, good sex scenes, great job with the game so far! Really hoping there is a possibility to get a "harem ending" with at least two of the characters.

Excellent game, i would definitely recommend this game. I would say this game is in my top 10 adult games i've ever played. The story and characters are really believable.
also the rendering is really good, the characters make me feel as if im actually there, i really wish most games that are on this site and patreon had this level of detail, unfortunately alot of them are gold diggers and are releasing sub standard games just for money (i have become a pledger on patreon for this game)

My Rating for This game is:
Pros:
-Great Story
-Story makes Sense
-Lots of Different Sex Scenes (No Boring Spells)
-Fantastic Renders
-Toke a long time to Complete (No little Update)
Overall I fell in love with this Game,and i,m burning for the Next update,and that doesn't happen often....
Cons:
Nothing whatsoever

I love this game! It's really complex. You can do this or that, and it's matters. Every update is just full of story and beautiful renders. This game is 10/10 for me, even will be good if there are some real animations! Good job dev, you are amazing!

Wow. I really like the way this game is going. Not only are the graphics great and the animations well done but it has started to add some some very REAL LIFE situations that are totally believable. Great job dealing with the emotions involved with disease, physical abuse, unfaithfulness and forgiveness are elements I haven't seen in any other games much less having all of them in one game. It is beginning to explore both the compassion, hurt, disappointment and other emotions that would exist in real life situations while giving us at least some sexual situations that work well within the overall plot of the story and not just to throw them in as an aside.

Only one thing lacking which is the inability to use previous version saves. I had to play this from the beginning.

A solid 5 even though previous saves don't work. But that could become an issue if that keeps happening as the game gets larger. The size of the download is somewhat concerning for how new the game is but the content is there.

Have to admit Ep 6 gave me a gut and heart check. Having lost a son to sids (crib death then), two grandaughters in a fire and recently a brother to cancer this VN hits home but in a very well crafted way. Aside from the great graphics and above average animation the story draws you in and makes you feel what the characters are feeling. Would have been great if all came out of the fire but they didn't.

Another real life event is brought out in ep 7. That of survivors guilt for 2 of the characters as well as the support of friend(s). Yet another unexpected, although not totally so, at the end. I am very curious to find out how the dev with finish this VN in the next and last update.

The story is excellent and alot better than what you would expect from a porn game. The way writer fleshes out the characters and make them not only likable but even believable is a testament of the talent he has. Its well written novel with erotic scenes here and there as far as im concerned and im eager for more.

Had to make a break from the Game just to rate it and give full points. Its a great game and makes so much fun to play. Best sense of Humor from all games i had played. Keep up the good work and please take your time

If you want a long well written and realistic story..Acting lessons cannot be beat..i'd go so far as to say in terms of the story and such this is as satisfying as anything the "bigname" companies put out..if you just want sexsexsex..theres alot here..BUT..if you want to feel immersed in a building longterm fantasy relationship..this is the number 1 game out there

Great game. More than just sex. It has in depth writing to get your immersed into the story and characters that feels so real you may feel that they are your real friends. I would love to have friends like them. The choices you can make are great but as the story is so strong it makes me put away my sexual inhibitions and go with what I would personally do in real life. Way better than DMD or any other adult game I've played. Cant wait for next episode!

OMG... i can't even write. All those overwhelming feelings. BRAVO! One of few shining start among adult games. It has everything - laugh, wisdom, sex, love... Liam MUST survive, do you understand? Or I will find you and I will kill you

Pro: Good writing, meaningful and plenty choices, great CG, acceptable amount of grammar errors, animated, Liam
Con: Animations could be smoother, weird faces in some situations, Player character could be more interesting in his answers
Note: As a VN 4 stars, compared to the vast majority of games listed here 5 stars

Come for porn , left with unexpected amazing story !!!
just random searching for game to **** off , instead found my new favorite game !! this game is unpolished gem!!
deserve popular games section in f95zone!!

Art 6/10: I think art is the Achilles' heel cause it lacks in many aspect like posing, (liam sometimes has girly poses, people move in the front and in the background they are freezed on spot and the rest is pretty standards premade poses).
Most of the Renders are from different version of daz and sometimes visually clash with one another.
Last of the downsides, sometimes the we have a series of pictures with one on focus, the other is out of focus and again the next one on focus (like when the Mc and Megan try the script after amish one, when they kiss for the first time)
On the plus side i really like the use of real pictures (like the park and some other) that really looks better than old renders. A big plus goes to the animations cause are simple but a good good compromise between a simple picture and a complex animation that makes the game feel alive and allow the developer to not spent too much time on them (and I didn't forget about the slow/fast button, where is the thumb up emoji when you need him?).
To be fair and square most of the problems with the art exist cause of 2 problems most developers have to deal with: time and money, so it's not really dev fault, but I cannot put them on the same level as a lily of the valley, dream of desire or other works.

Story 9/10: As many of you already now my despise for the "one dick to rule them all, harem shit" goes beyond human comprehension but i was baffled by how well this one is made. I will be really short here cause i don't want to spoil anything to anyone. The good writing is what the game really shine on, it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me angry, sad, horny,pissed, confused, amazed and sometimes it really hit near home. another strong suit of the story is that is has so many branches that replay the game at least 3/4 times is a must and probably you don't see the whole of it.

Sound 6/10: A good background music that accompanies you throughout the game

Overall 8/10:I want to start by saying it without delay that is the best new game the I played in the last six month. It really hard for me to have a connection and dive in a game, but @Dr PinkCake did a wonderful job and should be proud of it. It pains me to say that there is no NTR:test2: and the bromance with Liam will definetly end in a gaymance:tf: ( a couple of times I just want to yell " just blow him already!!".
For those who like other game like "melody" "life with Mary" "Dreaming of Dana" etc... it's the game for you & for those like me, who are degenerate pervert who likes weird shit, i'll say to give it a try & I hope it will be a pleasant surprise like it was for me.

One of the best-written erogame I've ever played. The story is interesting and funny without the need of grinding. You have the chance to bang all the girls when the story goes on.
All the renders and characters are gorgeous especially Liam. Each character has unique look that fits with their personality so well.
Most scenes with Liam is hilarious. The talk scene between Liam and MC beside the lake gave me chills, which is something I didn't even look for when playing an erogame so I believe this is a great game so far.

First off, the writing in this game is bloody fucking brilliant. Honestly, truly, it is HILARIOUS. Liam is the best goddamned character in the game. It takes some work to get me to laugh at a VN, not once but three times, laughing out loud, with a couple of chuckles along the way. The comedic timing with the super quick scene changes reminds me of archer's comic timing. Liam is best girl!
