Ren'Py - Lessons in Love [v0.48.0] [Selebus]

Honestly, this game is just really surprising.
When I went into this one I was kinda expecting it to be, at best, a fun, sexy time with likable characters. But it's got that alongside so much more interesting things going on, even beyond the horror/existential/denpa stuff going on. The writer does such an excellent job of giving a voice to each character and giving each of them interesting and compelling circumstances; which is impressive considering it's got upwards of 10 main girls.

The game is also pretty f'in funny so it's got that going for it too.

Just wanted to say the neon pink color on the choices for things like where to go after school and during the weekends is a bit hard on the eyes (especially when you're playing in the dark haha) maybe consider changing it? Unless it was a very specific design choice and intended, if so, then sorry for mentioning it.

But let me just say this game is AMAZING, a genuine 100/10, a home-run-out-of-the-ballpark game. Definitely one of my favorite games I've ever played. The characters are each in their own way so interesting to get to know and grow closer to, the humor and witty conversations the MC has with other characters are so entertaining to watch. Also, I'll admit the horror parts are genuinely unsettling but I really like the underlying feeling of mystery and creepiness they add to an otherwise cutesy game about trying to have sex with all your students. Constantly looking forward to your updates, keep up the good work!

Rating it like this almost solely for the plot, like the actual plot. The characters themselves are fun and quirky, but holy shit one of the horror scenes actually got me. It felt legitimately unsettling. 90% of this game is fluffy and nice, but the other 10% can feel incredibly unsettling because of that. Basically, I got boomed.

I really enjoyed this. It's very much in an anime style with certain inside jokes and satirical plays on the medium, so if you're not into anime you might find some stuff cringy. Its v lighthearted and I enjoy the humor(the phoenix wright bit was callout was cool). I do think the characters look a bit young, but that might just me the anime artstyle. Overall I liked it a lot

Lessons in Love is genuinely one of the best games i've played on here.
Other games may have more realistic graphics or higher budgets, and while they are good in their own way Lessons in Love has it's own unique charm, from the extremely likeable and well written characters to the over arching story surrounding this game.

Many other games like this have fallen by the wayside for example A Town Uncovered, a game that has been all but abandoned with the few updates coming out being extremely lacklustre, many games with this type of problem is said to stem from their creators, either wanting to milk their patreons or moving on to another game they won't finish.

Lessons in Love doesn't have this problem, with dedicated developers who actively engage with not only their fans of their game but make an effort to actually listen to them and take their advice to heart, on top of the fact that they release consistent updates each week with palpable changes be it bug fixes or new content, luckily with Lessons in Love these two come hand in hand.

So to make it short, Lessons in Love has amazing characters, a unique and immersive story and a immensely dedicated developer.

This is a special game so far, i've never dived into anything in this style, never watched and anime or read a manga, yet i decided to try this one out. I am very glad that i did.

The girls in this game are written well and are rememberable which is hard to do. A lot of VN's feature characters that i end up forgetting so i am glad to say that this isn't the case here. Theres only one girl that i dont really care for and thats honestly down to personal preferences other than actual flaws in the writing.

The scenes are very pretty and the lewd animations are done very nicely, honestly no complaints in that department.

The story itself is an interesting one so far. It definitely has a shock factor especially when a person like me doesn't expect it. I'll have to revisit this review once the story is actually complete but so far i'm hooked for the most part.

Overall i recommend this game to everyone, even to people like me who usually don't care for anime-like content. Well done to Selebus for creating something that even appeals to a "non-weeb" (no offence to people that enjoy anime of course).

cute girls with distinct personalities, lovely graphics, music fitting the given setting, sound effects, story progression determined by affection (later lust too) points, which prevents you from getting lost. beside all the positive things i can say about this game, there is one aspect that stands out big time: it's the writing. i have rarely played a game, even by anglophonic developers, with such flawless and contemporary english. several hours into the game and i have not encountered one single grammar mistake and only one spelling mistake. this shows how much the dev cares about his game, his patreons and eventually all players. another thing that has to be mentioned is the level of humor, which is up to par with the very best games out there. i have laughed many more times than my general mood would normally allow me these days.

The tone is all over the place and not in a good way. Even ignoring the frankly random edgy dream sequences of "everything isn't how it seems," scene by scene there's a whiplash between serious, somber moments and fouthwall leaning random yucks constantly, with the voice going all over the place. The main character is also written in a rather slapdash manner, going from a rather mature, sensible person to "Mmm put this dildo in your mouth" or "I will continue to endlessly harass you for kicks." Even from the perspective of it just being a porn game it's all over the place.

This is a very enjoyable game. There are many characters each with their own personality and quirks. There are secrets which are very fun to find. And being able to tell what your affection level is at is great as well as the ability to see what events you have left to do. It's one of my favorite games of all timme and i can't wait for the next update.

I'm going to have to begin my review with saying that this is currently my favorite game on this website.
The characters are well written and feel like actual people in their interactions with each other. The comedy in the interactions has made me genuinely laugh out loud which doesn't happen often when reading visual novels. The dialogue evokes emotion and doesn't leave you sitting there in boredom waiting for the next interesting thing to happen.
The story itself is an interesting mystery and each update leaves you with a burning desire to see what's going to happen in the next. As of the current 0.5 version there's about 8-10 hours of content if you actually read and that doesn't feel like nearly enough.
The character themselves are all cute and some of the best work I've seen done with the Koikatsu engine.
I will say however if you are looking for a quick fap, this is probably not the game for you. It's very much a story focused game and while there are some fantastic lewd renders and animations in there if that's all you're here for there are better places to be.

I played a shitload of renpy VN's and Lessons in Love is one that stands out for me in more then one point.

The Girls are loveable and unique in there character traits, as well as the humor of the writing itself is very pleasing.

All and all a super nice game that i only can recommend playing and let yourself be consumed by this Universe Selebus has created here.

Nicely written characters, not too much grind, and a intriguing small little world. The horror is present in many small little things designed to make you feel uneasy, several deliberately confusing and uncomfortable scenes, and the world setting (and the MC's place in it) itself.

Great potential to become one of the great harem games like Harem Hotel and Mythic Manor.

I really like this game, like seriously like it.

I think this is the first time I've genuinely liked all the girls in a game. Of course, there are some common tropes sprinkled in with them, however, I feel like the author has done a wonderful job making something different from the tropes you do see, and creating some unique characters that don't fit the typical moulds.

I think the dialogue is great, and I'm actually happy to read through new scenes as they come instead of skimming through like I find myself doing in a lot of other games.

I appreciate that it isn't just an instant sex gratification game, but you aren't left completely dry either.

I was a little hesitant with the horror tag, but I've been pleasantly surprised thus far. I would say that my only concern is the author going like super-horror in the future which would, in my opinion, ruin the great balance the game currently has.

Characters that you'll live laugh love to
The pacing is good, it doesn't blast you with meaningless sex right out the gate but doesn't blue ball you either. Characters are thought out and well written!
Excellent game please download

this game has a nice steady pace and not too many sex scenes. I love the fact that each have their own separate personalities with the horror tag people might think its like Doki Doki but it's not. #team sana

Amazing story writing. The gameplay plays like a normal dating sim but the writing takes the cake. I know some people are scared how to horror tag on a romance game and expect it to be like doki doki but this game simply isn't. The game has variety of girls to choose from that are different from eachohter and feel like they are a real person whit real problems,

It was very enjoyable. It has a lovely balance between lewd scenes and story. I love the characters and enjoy how each one has their own quirks that make them special. I'd love to see a little more lover for Futaba, but i can't complain. One of the best Visual novels i've ever played.

let me just start off with the simple fact of the matter that i have not finished the game in its current state. this game is one of the better Adult VN you'll play, while most of the other stuff focuses on the part that makes them Adult i.e sex scenes and pornography this one goes towards the more VN road. instead of talking with a girl once and POW your sexing her you've gotta "work" for it i say it like that because the work consist of just talking to them a whole bunch but for most games thats considered working lol. Also the Horror aspect is definitely a thing in this game. ive only seen one scene but it scared the shit outa me when i first saw it. the one Con to this game is that if your looking for Adult material this one probably isn't the best seein as its more story driven but that shouldn't mean the game is bad that just mean the creator actually cares about his work and doesn't want to overload it with Porn. i Highly recommend this game if you want good characters and a good story. #TeamFutaba

Dev probably played doki doki and wanted to make his own story afterwards, but he didn't understood what made that game good. The psychological horror aspect of Lessons in Love falls completely flat because there is no buildup or immersion. Characters and the narrator already break the 4th wall on every occasion and the comedic attitude of the dialog makes you not take the "darker" plot seriously. Also, the whole existential bullshit that is talked about in those "happy scenes" isn't scary nor thrilling, it just makes the player roll his eyes and press skip.

Lewds are a bit lacking but I guess its only version 0.4 so I won't complain as much. I hope we'll get more characters, and that the moms won't have the same "neglected milf wants some dick" scenario repeated over and over.

The best part of the game are the characters, because they're not as one dimensional as it first seems. The comedy is okay too.
