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

Bro!!!! I only had the courage to make one ending, and I will never play this game again!
Man if it was to end like this more before the MC morese. Because this is what he deserves,
What were the producers of this game smoking, to put a damn choice like that in the game???
I felt like the worst person in the world when the game ended I was literally devastated with the choice I had to make!!!
If it was for one of the two morer It doesn't matter if it was Melissa or Megan I would prefer the MC to lose both of them and just stay as good friends!!! Never thought a game more VN would make me cry!
If you can call it an erotic game, because to me it looks more like a story from a book, a novel worthy of Shakespeare!
I'm speechless and I feel sick just thinking about that point in the game!!! Despite being a game, it's a lesson in friendship, complicity and loyalty, it sure manages to bring tears to tears, exciting and at the same time really funny, Liam is definitely the best, very funny, I laugh a lot with him and I cried too, it will be hard to find a beautiful one well done game like this i was..

Oh boy, a classic, totally recomended, the story was not what I spected, specially at the end, all in a good way and hey we have a varied cast with some sadly unaboible missteps that just help ultimadly to better shape the tell, so nice .

Great start with high potential, but heavily let-down by forcing Megan onto you all of the time (can't remain faithful to others if you want a different heroine), and the later third of the story suddenly becomes a mess.

Liam's a great character. One of the best bros on this website.

I played this after playing BAD so I have high expectation when coming to this game and it really nails it
Great story, in-depth characters, and beautiful renders (for that time and even now).
All and all, good game indeed.

One of the first games I ever played. A beautifully heartbreaking story about life.

I remember binging through this game and not stopping, I wish I could stay more about the story specifically, but it would just spoil things too much. What I can say it that's the most spectacular part of the game for me.

The visuals are good, not great. I realize this was a few years back. In my option this game of far superior to the creators second game. That's probably a minority option, but it's how I feel.

Please give this a try, it take you through such a range of emotions.

A kind of sweet man-whore simulator where simulator.

PROs:

• The throuple path is done surprisingly well.
  • The reveal is especially good and feels almost realistic.
• The dialogue can be pretty good.
• The writing is properly proofread and edited.
• Very character driven.

CONs:

• The creepy kissing faces. The renders don't look good enough for faces to look good that close up. Also, people tend to close their eyes when they kiss…
• When you meet each new girl, it does that slow pan thing.
• Clichés: “oops, the shower door is open”, says MCs name out loud while masturbating.
• MC is a bit lacking in personality, he is just this nice guy blank slate.
• Couldn't be bothered to play through multiple endings because some branches are too far back, and I just wasn't that invested in any of the characters.

TL;DR: Worth a try if you are into the tags, whether you like it will depend on whether you kind the characters interesting.

I had trouble getting into this game after making their game more recent than everyone knows, because I was afraid of being disappointed. Frankly the mistake of not having done it earlier. I was very surprised. It is now in my top 10 favorite games.
- The story is very touching and can make you cry. So it’s a young story a little remodeler but it really does the job, and the ending of the story is nice and we don’t expect it.
- The characters are endearing, I really liked almost all the 'main' characters
- The scenes of legs in the air are (if I remain objective because the game date) very well done and pleasant despite it dates a little.

I am close to the studio that realizes the beauties of this genre, and I am really looking forward to discover other games.

J'avais du mal à me lancer dans ce jeu après avoir fait leur jeu plus recent que tout le monde connaît, car j'avais peur d'être déçu. Franchement l'erreur de ne pas l'avoir fait plus tôt. Je fus très surpris. Il est maintenant dans mon top 10 des jeux favoris.
- L'histoire est très touchante et peut faire en sorte de vous faire pleurer. Alors c'est une histoire de jeune un peu remodeler mais elle fait vraiment le taff, et le dénouement de l'histoire est sympa et nous nous y attendons pas.
- Les personnages sont attachants, j'ai vraiment aimé quasi tous les personnages 'principaux'
- Les scènes de jambes en l'air sont (si je reste objectif car le jeu date) très bien réalisé et agréable malgré qu'il date un peu.

Je suis de près le studio qui réalise les beautés de ce genre, et j'ai vraiment hâte de découvrir d'autres jeux.

Acting Lessons [v1.0.2]

What the actual fuck is this art doing here? Like, I can't even believe I experienced that... I want to recommend it to so many people, but like, can there be a censored patch? Successful mastrubations = 0, Successful emotional investments = 12/10. Just fuck man, please make more of these? Maybe a lighthearted ones between these emotional beatings... but also some more emotional beatings please. Going to Patreon subscribe outta pure obligation.

This is a lovely game. I could never have predicted how much I would like playing it. Beautiful renderings, amazing tale flow, and what a SURPRISE the plot was! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now to move on to Being a Dik!

Great story, though warning that there is some emotional damage to be suffered. Soundtrack was well picked to match throughout. Most animations were great but there were a few rigid ones. All main girl routes turned out really well. Definitely one of the better VN's I've tried.

The story telling in this game is pretty good and i wasn't able to just guess everything that would happen in the story.

I had heard a lot of good things and the ending was somewhat spoilered for me on this so I couldnt ever be fully objective on that bit. However my opinion is that it is actually a pretty good ending, with an interesting twist that most stories wouldnt even attempt.


With all of that said I must say that this game will absolutely 100% rail road you into a specific relationship, no if's ands or buts. You can try to show no interest and pick every option that is just friendly and not flirty and you will still get the same result. MC and the character in question will somehow always end up with the feels. (AKA if you want a different LI you are gonna have to go the scumbag cheater route)

play 1.0.2 with a french trad (which explains my poor written English, sorry)

story: 5/5 pretty good story
characters: 5/5 They are all very well brought up and we can't wait to get to know them better
sex scene: 3/5 I found that sometimes it takes a long time to get a good one and they are pretty fast
renders: 3/5 in the average
animation: 4/5 Very uneven, some are really beautiful and others are really "rigid"
sound: yes! very good!
gameplay: 4/5 Many choices

What the fuck man? I had not planned on using these tissues to dry my tears.

I downloaded this game to beat my meat, 3 hours later I haven't even started to jerk off.

This is one of those games where you end up skipping the sex scenes to get back to the story. At first I was crying with laughter, by the end I was straight up sobbing.

Very good game. I played this after Being A DIK. I can see that the author has come so far.
The graphic is good, Game has a perfect length and good replayability.
I really like the story as well. WARNING BITTERSWEET STORY.
This is a finished game so I highly recommend trying it out.
I was prepared before going into the game because I hate sad and tragic story.
I am impressed by the foreshadowing and the mystery.
The biggest lesson I learned from this game is to WORK OUT get that freaking muscle on and also to learn about what to do when in a crisis situation, you never know when you might need it.

Simply fantastic, a story that makes you emotional, sad and happy at the same time. The characters are also well developed, with their own motivations, and I really liked Liam, he symbolizes what true friendship is. It's not just about happy or sad days, it's about lifting your head and trying to move on.

Yo wtf is this dude? I play these games to get my jollies, not to have the biggest breakdown ive ever experienced from any movie/tvshow/game. Seriously I was crying on and off for days after playing this. I didnt even think that was possible for me. Which speaks to how brilliant and well done this game is. And you will still get your jollies as there are plenty of steamy scenes that are just enhanced by the phenomenal writing and character development which makes them feel like real people. But I will say if you're in an emotionally vulnerable place and want to avoid anything that could potentially upset you, steer clear of this game. If you get emotionally invested, which is very easy to do with how well written this game is, it will tear your heart out. With that being said its definitely not a game for everyone, but for me I consider this nothing short of a masterpiece 10/10

I am really impresswd of ghis game. Obviousley the Dev DrPinkCake is a real professional writer and passionate artist to deliver such a outstanding game with really great story and twists. I never experienced a more engaging and exciting story yet as VN. I know that the Dev is also doing the high ranked VN Being a DIK which i didnt had the time to play yet but if it is as good as Acting lessons i am grateful to start it soon from beginning. It is rare that a game is in that quality available here without any errors or bugs. Now i will try some more playthroughs with different choices to get all endings. Really a great game what i can reccomend to everyone who wants go enjoy beautyful character designs and exciting storytelling with remarkable decissions.

I just have to review the first ever Ren'Py adult vn I ever play. This game also jump-starts the dev fame and career of adult vn with highly successful DIK. There is nothing particularly special about the game story other than competently written. It is a decent game after all compare with so many trash out there. I'll give it 5 stars because thanks to this game I fell into the deep rabbit hole of porn games.

I expected a lot more from the way it was hyped up. It wasn’t bad but the big ending seemed contrived and unnecessarily forced also it didn’t make sense if you played the way I did. Maybe it was better if you played differently but since I didn’t it didn’t seem good. Minus 1 star also for being way under the hype.

Damn, I thought that Being a DIK was a rollercoaster of emotions. I have so much to say but I don't know how to express it. Seriously, I've never thought that this type of game could make me so emotional and attached to other characters. It's a shame this game is short and that you can't get a perfect happy ending, but it's also nice to finally see something realistic, not a game where you just build your harem and fuck everything that walks. I've finished this game about 20 minutes ago and I feel like I'm going to start crying again. Fuck you DrPinkCake for being so good at this. You definitely set the bar very high up for other devs with your fantastic games.
