VN - Ren'Py - Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

nothing really to say that hasn't been said already literally everything about this vn is perfect I really cant find any flaw about it no matter how hard i look.
graphics 10/10
story 10/10
pacing 10/10
writing 10/10
animations 10/10
so many choices THAT ACUTALLY MEAN SOMETHING, you can replay this game so many times and keep finding new things drpinkcake is one of if not the best developers in the vn scene he is doing all of this by his self which is one of the reasons updates take so long to come out, and every update/episode that's released is top notch the newest episode(episode 9) that just came out was amazing and had amazing animations. its definitely going to take 4-6 replays to see everything in this vn which is what i love about it.

Epic game! Worthy of support. Even though the waits are long between updates, the quality makes it worth the wait.

If I could break down my rating:

Renders = 5 stars

Characters = Most characters get 5 stars

Story = 4.9 stars, only because of a couple missed opportunities by the writer, or maybe time constraints.

Easily the best game on this site.

By far and away the most immersive story, characters and branching give almost unending options of character behavior and growth. Renders are absolutely amazing, one could spend a few minutes just rewatching the animations, but out of all, choice of music is the best aspect of the game, creating perfect atmospheres for different scenes and moments.

In a nutshell, on a league of its own, the one to rule them all.

Great renders and solid characters/writing. But honestly the story is pretty uninteresting, and the game is bloated with a lot of extraneous stuff I don't care about at all. I absolutely do not want to click through a boring free roam event for an hour. I know everyone thinks this is the greatest thing ever created, but it always just feels like kind of a waste of time to me.

Haters gonna hate, but i'm going to review a whole game!


Being a DIK - is completelly and totally best AVN on f95. If you didn't play this masterpiece jump straight away!

Story about a college life so expect a lot of sex, alcohol and rock-n-roll here There are couple of plottwists here and there that keep you playing that game (and wait for updates!) Some storylines are straight hillarious, some are dark.

Girls are totally great (Not all though xD) Everyone willfind himself a cutie (maybe more). All with different needs, different personalities. Nice

Next on my list - technical part. DPC is coding genius. MC's phone is MASTERPIECE. Mini-games - a lot, some are fun, some are not so fun. But there are different kinds of them and all of them are well coded.

Music. If only i can rate higher then 5 out of 5 i'll rate music in BaDIK as 199/5. Every update there are tracks which go straight in my playlists. Classical, Rock, Club music - all here, all fit perfectly into a game, and are total bangers.

Gameplay - straight VN with some sandbox elements - FreeRoams, which are good ones. I can't consider myself as sandbox fan, but these are well done. Sometimes you get tired of simple space-clicking, free-roam helps a lot with this. There are a couple of tasks which you can do to proceed next. Probably some minigames here and there. ANd again straight VN.

So 5 out of 5, must play!

P. S. Guys chill, don't rate VN for one episode, which isn't as bad as you think, cause of your high expectations)

10. Update.

Took a while to chew through most of it. There was a lot of stuff this episode for sure, and the game is as pretty as ever and as much as I love how many branches and subbranches that are active in this game, the mini game hassle is just too much.

It feels fine when you're doing a single run, and will create a nice break/flow from the game when you play it like it's meant to be. However i can' really blame the dev for making something that's nice to play when it's finished and significantly less so if you're powering through run after run.

Since the game is now at a expected one per year update, I think the right move for me now is to simply wait it out and not pick it up again until it's finished. Make saves at various branching points which will reduce how much you have to replay parts you've already seen.

Season's 1 and 2 of this game were the unquestioned best AVN out there (5 stars)... but the interlude and episode 9 just feel like filler (3 stars). It's like watching the Friend's reunion show, it's nice because it's nostalgic, but it's just nowhere near as good as the first game.

If you haven't played the game from the beginning I highly recommend you play it, it's amazing... the MC is super cool, the girls are hot and the renders/scenes are some of the best out there, and the story is great.

If you've played seasons 1 and 2, lower your expectations and download the gallery unlocker mod, there's no point in re-running the entire game to get the extra scene or two that applies to the story line you followed.

Greatest Visual Novel ever written, and still being written. If there was an award season for VNs, this would take all Emmys, Golden Globes, SAG, WGA, PGA, and freaking Academy Awards. Nothing really comes close to the level of WRITING this has. I don't even care about the lewd scenes. They're here, and they're masterful. But the story and the characters, they are the ones that truly make you stay. DPC is an absolute savant.

What to say man, Dr. Pinkcake is the standard in AVN making. CHOICES REALLY MATTER. The only downside of this game is the wait time between seasons and episodes. There are minigames which satiates your completionist hunger with sweet renders. There are minimum 3-4 playthroughs worth of content. RESPECT.

Best VN I have played, great renders and amazing characters. Anticipate every update and enjoy playing through every story point. Josy still the favourite after 9 episodes but Zoey might be a contender.

Overall the best VN on the site. Its not my favourite game, but everything in this one is a solid 5*. Really good pacing , excellent visuals/music, good adult scenes, a big variety of great characters .
Most of the mini games(like party planning) was fun for me aswell. Did not feel like a chore but a good addition to the game.

This is just my quick review on episode 9

I think this work as a whole really sets the standard on what is possible with time and dedication to your work, the visuals look incredible, there is good audio and the attention to detail is incredible.


However I felt in this episode that besides the visuals and attention to detail, everything just sort of felt, flat.
-The big dinner at the burke house was a complete nothing no matter what playthrough you have.
-MC speaks like nothing I would have seen him speak like before
-Story is...well in my opinion I really dont care for the whole "drug" side plot that seems to just be me so take that as you will
-MC no matter how tough you are got treated like a total bitch even if hes full dik, crying about wanting to call the cops after his confrontation like what the fuck?
-Dany/Jamie/Leon plot just seems to be the most boring thing I can imagine and quiet frankly wont be surprised if Leon comes out of the closet for Jamie.
-The haunted house took about 5 minutes, was a complete waste of time with a really bad torch effect

I need to get this off my chest
THE GAMEPLAY IS TOTAL ASS WHO THOUGHT THAT DOING AN EPISODE IN FULL FREE ROAM WAS A GOOD IDEA, ITS NOT ITS BORING AND HONESTLY SUCH A PAIN ESPECIALLY FOR MULTIPLE RUNS.

Look being a dik 1-8 *chefs kiss*
being a dik episode 9....ill pass

All this being said its important to note that DrP has been making home runs since acting lessons so its only fair that he has one bad episode to prove hes only human.

This is my first ever review so bare with me if it isnt as professional or good as some of these dudes..

But the game is great and it'll take a lot of hours away from you. If you're looking for fap, this isn't it though. It's a lot deeper and has a really good story, the scenes when you get them are great though. I really enjoyed this game for the more serious aspect and the choices matter. If you play this game you're going to need multiple saves to see everything you'll need to say the right things to girls and gotta choose from being a DIK (being tough) or a chik (Literally a pussy) I would personally morph about both because sometimes the DIK choices are way to douchey, but CHIK choices are also a way to pussy. AVs are my guilty pleasure I'm a married guy who enjoys this sort of escapism but I will say this game changed my views on anything AV and now I won't look at anything that isn't as deep as these. or has choices like this one does (example acting lessons) I like how this game makes you work for the females, and no one is just thrown onto you.

TLDR

If you want something with lasting consequences great music, great animations, and a great story you should give this a try.

Good story, interesting characters, fleshed out well.
Great renders the girls are beautiful and you want to go out with all of them.
It's a sizeable download but well worth it. Updates are regular and identified issues are regularly rectified, obviously a project dear to the heart of the developer so likely to be continued unlike so many projects.
Well worth the financial support if you can afford it, but certainly take the time to review.

In terms of quality easily the best adult visual novel still, and though the update cycle is long, it's well worth the wait with the quality you get. I do prefer quality > quantity. From the animations, art, writing, and story. It's truly a masterpiece and I'm always left wanting more at the end of each episode.

this game is very good make me cum a lot i love redheads and sage is one so i love sage and dream about having sex with sage but i dont want to cheat on the sweet girl i forgot her name she is busty white girl

DPC is the GOAT! Genuinely, I don't think I've ever played an AVN that I would compare to a AAA game, but this might be a contender! Beautiful renders and animations, various girls to choose from, and minigames, sandbox exploration, great music, and more! Say what you want but Maya and Josy are my favorites. Throuple or nothing!

Hands down the best AVN ive played and the best game on this site.
Legitimatly good writing. Renders, models and animations are all high quality and i don't even mind the minigames. Many of them are actually quite enjoyable IMO.

This game is just ... wow. The biggest problem is, it raises the bar so high that other VNs are just less enjoyable to play, honestly. The depth of the characters is amazing, they are likable, unique, not stereotypical and have personality. The music is fantastic. You can really see how much of a great storyteller DrPunkCake is when looking at small details such as a change of facial expression of a character which gives you the message without needing any additional words. What I especially appreciate is that choices do matter - a lot. Your actions determine which girl you get. So this makes you stop and think about which path to take, as opposed to other VNs where you can essentially proceed by just thoughtless binge clicking. H scenes could be more natural, but are definitely enjoyable. Did I mention the game is also funny, sometimes quite subtly so. Just play the game ... but be prepared to take a long time to find another game afterwards that can compete.

The best game in the AVN genre.

Every game will be compared to this game, and come up short.

The game just does everything well, the story, the sex scenes, the free roams, the minigames, the branching, the dialog, the characters, the visuals.

And the quality is only going up as new episodes are being released, DPC is already at the top and continuing to innovate.
