A Heck of A Ride
I had heard that Acting Lessons could be a darker visual novel and luckily it lived up to it’s reputation. I had some feelings during it that some bad things were coming my way but I didn’t see the twist come near the end and was taken by surprise. It has some great characters worth caring about and a decent story. You get to make a pretty great selection of choices. My one issue with that was that part of the story revolves around picking between two friends who you want to be with but to be fair I was never interested in one of them and have to listen to her get angry with me over stringing her along but the game never gave me an option to date the other one. Overall though there is drama; love; sex; friendship; murder and more. I played Acting Lessons on Linux. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any spelling errors. The game uses version 6.99.14.3.3147 of the Ren’Py engine. It uses the OpenGL API. I played version 1.02 of the game. It uses up 3534 MB of disk space. It allows for manual saving any time and has 54 save slots. Alt-tab works just fine. The game does open on the wrong monitor but that’s a known bug with the Ren’Py engine not the game. During game play my GPU usage was 0-13%; my VRAM usage was 582-907 MB; my CPU usage was 1-5% and my RAM usage was 2.6-4.7GB. If you enjoy games like Being a Dik or Depraved Awakening this has a lot to offer. I paid $11.49 CAD for it and finished my first play through in 4 hours 40 minutes. That is great value, I’d say the game is even worth $20. Dr Pink Cake continues to impress me with their visual novels.
