Ren'Py - Lessons in Love [v0.46.0] [Selebus]

As others have said, high quality game with a well written, engaging storyline. Characters are unique and realistic, you will really care for most, if not all of them. H-scenes are great too.

This is the first review I write on this site because I finally feel that a dev really deserves praise for his work. In just 7 months, the amount of high-quality content created is quite impressive. Twice per month updates without ever any delays or excuses is a refreshing pace!

Not many devs can boast about all that and so I would encourage you all to help fund Selebus so that he may continue full-time work on this superb game!

Wow! I have played quite a bit of adult games since I found out about f95, but I don't think theres a single one I would've played if it wasn't a porn game. This is actually so good that I literally could play it without the porn. Idk what else to say, everything about this game is phenomenal from the characters to the story to the setting. Even if you don't like some of the tags ( I think horror scares off alot of people), trust me this game is worth it.

Also this game has a shit ton of content for only being 6 months old. Definitly a dev worth supporting (actually created a patreon cause of this game lol).

This game is frankly way better than it has any right to be as a 'porn game'. The writing is great, the characters are awesome and I really enjoy how the game makes me happy, it's a nice way to spice things up and keep me interested.

I feel like it's worth mentioning that this game had me hooked enough to keep playing it far later into the night than I was planning to on multiple occasions.

I'm not great at reviews so I'll keep this short and just say: I'd play this game even without the lewd! It's so well written and funny and thought provoking and exciting and fucking horifying and the girls are so cute and interesting and yeah! Selebus is a pretty cool dude too. Ok bye

Have you ever wanted to have sex with cute young girls, but also feel the call of the void while doing so? This is the game for you. Not only does it have great, fleshed out characters with deep and sometimes rather depressing backstories, but the writing and time put into the game is apparent in every scene. Over time you actually get to feel for the characters and care what happens about them. The mystery and secrets in the game leave more to be desired and known. The story only adds to the sex scenes and makes them 10x better then they would be on their own. So if cute likable characters, feelings, and the sense of dread of the unknown is your thing, play this game.

Lessons in Love is a game that you can lose yourself in. The characters are charming and unique, and the story is engaging and well-written. The character models are also very different from each other, which separates this game from a lot of the others of its kind.

There are elements of intrigue as well, and a mystery that encapsulates not only the protagonist, but also Kumon-Mi. The horror aspect of this game is not done cheaply, and it is not without purpose. Every scene that can be identified as 'horror' has an underlying meaning that helps you further understand everything that is going on.

And for those looking for fap-material, look no further. This game offers that as well

Highly recommend anyone to check out this game who is browsing F95. The creator, Selebus, updates often and every update is full of great content, so I also recommend that you support the official release so we can see even more greatness in the future.

This is probably the best indie visual novel I've ever read. Barely slept since I started, that's how good it is.

Characters design are unique, dialogs are often hilarious, and the writing? simply amazing. Came for the cutie stayed for the story.

Give it a shot, you won't regret it.

Story is different/good. The humor is pretty funny. The weird is pretty freaky. The grind is a grind. I like the many different personalities/characters, the only one you may have missed is the cool chill chick, but Rin might fill that role. The animations, once you get to them, are well made. The scenes are well thought out. The art is decent, good for this style.

Civilians dont say "roger that", unless they just got out of the military, especially not high school girls. Must have seen that a dozen times, made me flinch every time. That said, it is obvious the writing could use some editing.

The events menu is a good start. If you want to attract those that hate the grind, be more descriptive on what the next needs are, colors are hard to follow.

Thank you for letting me enjoy your hardwork.

This game is without a doubt one of my favorite hentai games. The story is well written and thought out, most of the time happy and light, but it also has a psychological/existential side which hints at something larger than just being a lighthearted isekai harem romance, which will keep you guessing/theory crafting on end.

Now on to the girls themselves. with 12 currently, (more to come) there is a girl for you, not to mention all the side characters, bringing you an enticing variety to choose from (or just choose them all.)

All in all, this game is well worth to invest your time (and in my opinion, your support on patreon.)

In conclusion, my dick hard.

After playing for over a year and being a patreon much of that time, I feel it is time to update this post. Selebus updates frequently and fairly regularly, which is to be commended. The discord and patreon community for this game can get a little... fanatical, so I would stay away and avoid subscribing to Sel. The game is obviously quite beautiful, and has a really great story. Major qualms with the game include the somewhat lazy grammar (purposeful choice by Sel, as it apparently gives a more "realistic" feel) and random "puzzle" sections that were put in the game simply to gatekeep (you have to memorize certain codes throughout the game, and enter them in a text entry system... I have spent hours on them personally, and would recommend looking up answers in the f95 thread as the Discord will not provide them explicitly). The game is overall really great regardless of its flaws and ego-inflated author, so please try this game out!

I'm not gonna waste too much time arguing over what makes this game great because all the other reviews have done that. I'm instead going to make a point that is important to make.

Just because a game is good, doesn't mean you'll like it.

Let's summarize everyone's review as neutral as possible. The story's good, the character's fleshed out and the music fits every scene. Not to mention that the horror scenes are pretty good as well. All those are good on their own, but with how well the creator did in bringing it all together, this game is a shining example of a whole being more than the sum of its parts. Overall, this is a great game.

And I personally hate it. The MC is a bit of a creep by VN protagonist standards, and a potential pedophile by normal standards. This isn't exactly far-fetched with how the story is progressing, showing the MC to be a straight up sociopath and/or psychopath at times (e.g. or ). Then there's the whole power dynamic between a teacher and their students, which has always grossed me out. Because of all this, I just can't like this game.

Now, someone hating something doesn't mean that it's terrible. But it does mean that as much as I think it's great, I can't just recommend this to anyone. And I think the people reviewing this either don't point that out or just go with the ol' "It's not for everyone". Like no shit it's not for everyone. Nothing's for everyone. But I feel like it's more important to let everyone know that the glowing reviews alone won't guarantee that they'll enjoy it. I think it's important to make sure that they don't waste their time with something they won't like from the jump, which I think is usually a forgotten reason people read reviews.

So that's why I'm writing this review. I'm not writing this review to tell you how good this game is. I'm writing this review to let you know whether you'll like the game. So, if you want an MC to be on the morally straight (BSA not required) and you don't like horror or disturbing rape, then no, this game is not for you no matter how good it is, and it is good. If you don't like it, then you won't like it. Period.

TL;DR *game exists* Thanks! I hate it! 4.5/5 IGN Not rated E for Everyone.

The game is still a WIP but its content is already pretty good. Selebus do regular update which are (or should be if there were no leak) accessible to his patreons a week before being released to public.

The porn scenes are good but aren't the main reason why I like the game : each girl story feels different. They all have issues and a different progression.
When I think about "Lessons in Love", my first thought is about the personalities of the girls, the second is about existential dread then third comes the porn.

The horror tag is still important tho : some scene can be pretty weird and a feeling of existential dread could appear during some dialog.

Downloaded for porn, found HOPE
Gib Selebus money

When I found this game, I thought it was gonna be another goofy nukige hentai game that I could occupy myself with for a few days. So, I downloaded the free version (at the time, 0.4.0) and started playing.

I was wrong about the game. Instead of a normal nukige, I was treated to a rich world filled with many diverse characters of all personalities and handled very maturely, as well as some interesting social commentary on Japanese culture and attitudes toward things like mental health and appropriate actions.

As well, the sex is handled very maturely and you actually have to put the work in to dig into these ladies' characters if you expect to get between their legs.

While the horror scenes aren't exactly my personal fancy, they are handled well, and definitely add to the feeling that something isn't right in the city of Kumon-mi.

TLDR; came for the porn, stayed for the characters

The char designs looks like from Aura Kingdom or is it just me?
Can't flirt with HOPE and whoever that code person is (totally not ****)
Dialogue is probably my favorite as I haven't seen dialogues like this, story is kinda similar to that certain litera-

No H-Scenes for some chars but then again,'tiz not the full yet so I'd gladly wait for the updates.

Fav Charas: Maya, I just love it when my MC suffers from her *looks at trash* gaze, Miss Yakuza will prolly get f-ed by our MC snapping again like when he ****** in her event and Rin for 2 reasons heh, I said Rin not Futaba right?

This game is a bit sca- IT'S..A...WHOLESOME...GAME...PLAY IT....

Very good game. it's a hard line to walk when mixing horror with porn because it's very easy to make it silly or take you out of it, but in my opinion it works suprisingly well in this case. the girls are very interesting, and the story elevates this game rather than gets in the way. also the dev is incredibly consistant and open.

As long as you're smart enough to click buttons and have basic reading comprehension you really can't get stuck either. there's even an in game event tracker so you know when to not bother with a character between updates.

This game might actually be interesting if there was less boring grind between places of note or some form of direction on what to do. Also, the horror aspects could be with being a little more subtle, atleast at first. It goes 0 - 100 really quick.

2 stars, but with some polish it could be 4 quite easily. The grind is utterly pointless.

Very quickly became one of my favourite games featured on this site. The daily slice-of-life harem story with solid amounts of absurdist comedy, absurdist tragedy and absurdist horror make for an experience not unlike that one visual novel you remember playing in your teens when you pirated a Japanese game (torrent or kazaa or other… depending on how old you are) hoping for a wank but unexpectedly got swept up by a story.

Highly recommended with the small caveat about very rare instances of flashing images — usual warnings apply.

So get the game now, start your teaching career in the hopes of dicking as many teenage girls and their moms as possible, try not to fantasise too much about rape, dismemberment and/or suicide and make sure to vomit all your theories about what the story is really about in our discord. And above all else remember to be happy.

This game gave me the feels. In a good way. It's mostly a typical corruption/harem game but then it breaks the fourth wall or gives a character a fucked up and real story line and then - I mean, there's boobs and all, but this is...

This is awesome. This is my first review of a game because it follows all the conventions enough to fuck with your sensibilities and emotions. Is good.

But maybe you're not sure. Are there sexytimes with cartoon ladies? Yes, and they're hot. Are there grinding affection bits? Yes, and every now and again they flip the script and make it all weird and good. But there's a lot of games on here that are sexy and well written and weird and all.

So here's the quote that got me to write this review:

"There are three things you never ask a lady, Sensei! Her age, her weight, and where she got her automatic rifle."

The context for that quote is more fun than you might think. Play this game and give the dev your money.

This game.. Is really something amazing. If I believed in God I'd say that it's a little bit like a good Sermon. It'll make you laugh, make your curious, and maybe even make you cry. Then again, I'm kinda a crybaby at this point for some reason, but the game does have touching moments. But it also does something that a good sermon can't. It can scare the shit out of you if you get too comfortable. And it'll make you cum. If there is a church where the sermons make me cum, let me know, I'd like to go there, but I digress.

For a little while, when I was playing the game, I was actually, unironically, playing for the plot. So much so that I think I skipped an H scene just go get on with the story. Maybe I'm different, but if you want a game that'll make you actually think, that will reward you for paying attention and appreciating little details (like a clock and smiley face for a certain individual's room) then this game is for you. This game isn't scared of shit, which makes it one helluva thing to experience. It doesn't shy away from the shitty parts of life. It's not fuckin' around.
I just wished that there was more to it, but I've only played version 0.5. I honestly can't wait for new versions to come out.
I do feel that the story is a little underdeveloped in some areas, namely the MC, and I'm really fuckin' curious about the MC, because I have a feeling the sekai has a lot to do with what brainfuckery is going on.
If I wasn't rationing my finances due to this pandemic, I would give money to the developers patreon faster than my heart rate when spending time in a certain room filled with time-telling devices.

Be warned: this game contains kernels of truth and reality.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I feel that the writer (who might be the developer?) is on to something here, and I think they're trying to speak about something bigger than just a porn game. You know how Harry Potter was so good because it was a mystery series disguised as a magical school / magical adventure book series? Yeah, I feel that this game is a different type of game or story disguised as a porn game.
10/10, 5/5, FINISH THE GAME FASTER PLEASE AND THANKS.
The characters are realistic, to say the least, and the decisions you make are impactful as all hell, sometimes. It's a surreal experience.
There are plenty of H scenes, and there's even one pretty close to the start just as reward for reading the start. This game is deep. Or I'm just a dumbass who's reading too much into it. I just hope the author knows what they're doing and where they want to take the mystery aspect. If they play their cards wrong, it could end up being another "could have been great" situation. But I have faith that it won't end up being a total fucking disaster unlike some other games , that i shall not name..
Anyways, here's hoping to my review not getting removed for some bullshit like "too much opinion."

You play as protagonist man who has become teacher man and doesnt know why - the reason is revealed bit by bit and you must "guide" lovely schoolgirls on the path to enlightement and fun. This usually involving some form of INterACTION with said schoolgirls, also one is your niece.

The artstyle is aesthetically pleasing and the humor is periodically fairly dark and still entertaining, without becoming edgy - which is always a plus.

All you need to know is that someone here describes her father as "Basically Satan" , why you may ask? All he does is drink and listen to smooth jazz - it is literally hell.

Then again, I might be easy to please - but I had a lot of fun with this so far and I imagine I will have a lot more.
