    Imagine the game that other games ban from talking about in their forums because the hype is real.

    This game is another level of awesome. Take all of the sex out of it and it would still be a solid story. Characters have depth, interactions feel real, god tier music choices, jokes that land perfectly, and drama thats interesting without being preachy. With every season when you think you have a handle on who the main love interests are, side characters get more depth and more screen time. It actually feels like multiple seasons of a show and not breaks just so the steam release can get updates.

    If you haven't tried it, ignore the reviews and just play it.

    It feels overhyped and overrated now.


    Personally speaking, I think a lot of people gave this game 5 stars because it was their first introduction to porn games and its usually what people recommend to first timers who are new to the genre.


    Story (6/10) [contains spoilers]: Initially, I think the start of the game is incredible and I still hold Season 1 with very high regard. The atmosphere is great and it feels immersive. You actually feel like you're a new college kid on campus getting into fights and enjoying great parties. The MC is a new college kid who gets to the campus and after some shenanigans happen, he ends up at a frat house known as the DIKs. There is some initiation process called "Hell Week" where he is hazed from his seniors into doing various challenges, but eventually, he joins and has fun at parties. Speaking of parties, the party atmosphere and the free roam sections is so good that it actually makes me feel like shit because I didn't experience anything like that in college, and maybe that holds true for a lot of players. Then in my opinion, the story just goes downhill pretty fast. For me, this happened around Season 2 when the alphas destroy your frat house. The tone of the story quickly shifts from a carefree fast paced porn game with alcohol and fun into somewhat of a serious tone where you have to act like a responsible adult fixing everything around you. Not only fixing your frat house, but also solving other character's emotional issues. In other words, it just becomes boring and melodramatic in my opinion. Eventually, out of nowhere, the MC wakes up one day in Episode 8 and decides he wants a serious relationship even if you've been sleeping around the campus with 10+ women and you're a DIK aligned MC. You will be forced to break it off and choose one of the following girls: Maya/Josy, Bella, Jill, and Sage. If you don't choose any of the above, you are forced to break it off with all of them and stay single for the "Others" path.

    After that, the story transitions into Season 3 and introduces Zoey as a character who is the MC's ex girlfriend, who you are forced to play as. Thankfully, it was only a 20 minute read because I didn't find it that interesting. Also you can skip the interlude after you've read it once on subsequent playthroughs.

    Season 3 begins with the Halloween Party and eventually another outdoor party. And to be brutally honest, it just doesn't feel the same anymore and it's not as fun. If you already decided on a love interest in Season 2, then in the Halloween Party, you are basically walking on eggshells if you try to flirt with other girls. There is some sort of hidden "cheating" meter which we don't know what impact this will have yet, but suffice to say, it probably isn't going to be good and it will most likely get you screwed over later on. The outdoor BBQ party in the latest episode felt ho hum and didn't really move the story forward that much.

    There's a lot of side plots going on in the background. Quinn's drug dealing background. Vinny is introduced as some sort of pseudo antagonist. There is also probably a traitor among the DIKs. You try to help Maya with her daddy issues. But to be honest, I don't really know how much I care about all that because frankly speaking, I think the story peaked very early on in Season 1 and it's just been meandering through ever since. I just want to party, have fun, and have sex with girls. I know, maybe I am just simple minded but thats just the truth. Maybe some might argue and say that if you stay single and are on the "Others" path, you can still do all these things, but the truth is, even the writing and tone of the story shifted a lot from Season 1. You kind of just get this feeling that the MC himself is looking for something serious now, and he is not really that much into partying anymore.


    Music (10/10): I unironically think the music in this game is God tier. I was blown away by it, especially the party music which helps you immerse into the atmosphere. When you compare it to other porn games on this site, I don't even think its a competition. Suffice to say, I think the music is the best part of this game. It's probably the only game on this site where I actively sought out some of the tracks for my playlists.


    Gameplay (3/10): There's an alignment system in the game. CHICK and DIK. CHICK is generally when you act more polite and passive. DIK is when you act overly abrasive and mean. There is also a Neutral alignment if you can maintain it, but this is realistically only achievable with experienced players who already either played through it once already, or they have mods installed. Why the low score for gameplay if it sounds like a standard VN? The mini games are just out of control now. At first, they seemed okay and simple enough. It wasn't that bad. You are just doing simple English and Math tests and a memorization test with Gender Studies. Also there is some simple mini games where you move your mouse within a boundary. Then later on it just gets ridiculous. Fixing up the mansion was the first confusing one. I actually dropped this game for a year or two because of the mansion mini game. It just seems overly convoluted. Then years later, I pick the game back up again and just power through it with a guide. And then what happens in Season 3? More annoying mini games. Planning a party is now a mini game, and then the dev decided to put another annoying Chemistry and Minesweeper one.

    Okay, so people will defend the mini games and tell you that they're optional and they can be turned off which is true. So I ended up doing a playthrough with them turned off. Then I realized that I failed to fix my mansion because if you decide to pick the VIP Pass to the stripper club, Rusty will tell you that you failed to fix the Mansion because you had mini games turned off and the game auto fails you because you picked the VIP Pass. What??? How is that even remotely fair? And how would I have known that??? If you have the Mini Games turned on, you can get the VIP Pass and still pass the Mansion Fixing section if you manually go through with it. So the dev just punishes you randomly if you decide to have his mini games off. And I don't know if hes going to do that with other ones, so I ended up abandoning that run.

    Overall, when I look at this game and the lull between new content, I get this feeling that the dev spends way too much time on these random mini games and not on actual story content that people want. I guess so he can cater to his Steam audience??



    Animations (9/10): The sex scenes are pretty good and look hot. Very high production value.

    Characters and Girls [contains spoilers] (4/10): The characters are the meat of this game, but I really can't say that I enjoyed most of them unfortunately.

    Maya - She has a lot of issues with her religious father because it turns out that she's bisexual and this doesn't bode well for their family I guess. She doesn't tell you this until later on which causes some melodrama. I think she is probably the worst character in this game and its killing my interest in the story honestly. She doesn't like partying and only joined the female sorority for "free tuition" which ended up being a lie, so then she cries about this later on because her father isn't funding her. Overall it's a mess, and I was rolling my eyes a lot.

    Josy - In my opinion, she is probably the best main female love interest in the game because she has the least baggage. She was your girlfriend before you entered college. However, the problem is that she was also in a secret lesbian relationship with Maya. You eventually reconcile this into some sort of "threesome" path which doesn't make much sense. I am guessing the author will eventually put you into a situation where you have to choose one or the other, but considering that I already hate Maya, its already a done deal for me. I don't really get why you couldn't just convince Josy for a solo path to begin with. It feels railroaded and dumb. So unfortunately, her path isn't even that great either because Maya ruins it. There are some hints that a solo path is opening later on, but its not confirmed and just rumors.

    Bella - She is the librarian at your school and is much older than you. Has a big bust. She looks good, but I think her personality is kind of bland. She has an Ice Queen cold personality which slowly melts over time. Then once the story transitions into down to earth serious relationship business, its hard to take it seriously when you consider the age gap.

    Jill - She is a naive innocent princess type. She looks pretty good and hot, but her path is kind of tricky to open up unless you play as a pure CHICK MC or at the very least a Neutral one. Which means you're probably skipping a lot of sex scenes. And then once you actually end up reading her path, she's just not that interesting of a character. Her route is something you would do if you're going for a True Love and innocent type of route, which doesn't seem that appealing in a porn game.

    Sage - There's a guy named Chad that cheated on her. Then for revenge, she basically starts sleeping with the MC to cheat on Chad. As far as main girls in the game, personally I'd say she was the 2nd best option. But the relationship has some pitfalls. Considering that she already cheated on her bf to begin with, she probably has some mental issues which could play a role later on in future content. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she ends up cheating on you. I don't think there is any NTR content yet in this game, but I wouldn't rule it out.

    Zoey - She doesn't have a path, but she will probably get one in future content because she seems like an important character in the plot. She was only introduced recently, so there's not much to say about it. You can potentially let her sleep with one of your frat brothers, but I don't know what the benefits or consequences are yet. Basically there is almost no content, and whats there isn't very appealing. The interlude was kind of a time waste.

    Quinn - She doesn't have a path, but considering that shes a major character in the plot, she will probably get one. I just don't really like her character personally. Looks wise and personality wise.

    Side Girls - There's lots of other side girls in this game that don't have a "main path" yet. But ironically, I find that I actually end up liking the side girls way more than the main ones anyway because the main ones have too much emotional baggage. Though that could just be because the writer hasn't given the side girls proper character development yet. Honorable mentions go to Lily, Rinoa, and Sarah.

    Derek - He's the best character in the game and the comic relief. He helps you get through some of the boring parts because of his comedy.


    Overall Score (64/100)

    tl;dr: Overall the game has its ups and downs. It's still a game worth playing through once because the beginning is really good. Season 3 just feels extremely meh and I'm not that excited about future content.

    The big guy, making a review about BaDIK is just boosting the algorithm, but since im reviewing some games, why not, what needs to be said was already said by others, you can yourself see the quality of the renders, so making 200 characters is either repeating yourself or going into a tangent.

    I do admire his view, he decided to up the patamar even beyond what most people wanted, better animated scenes, 60 fps, after 9 chapters still learning and adding more "realism" to the characters, like how to deal with jiggle physics in sages ass.

    I get why people get pissed, this shit is already good, why would you take longer between updates, to make something that is above most a LITTLE better?

    Well, it is where it is exactly because this mindset. Little by little, brick by brick, he made a tower that stands tall, towering above most, and he didn't stop trying to improve, that's why it gets harder and harder to reach it.

    It's good, not for us, sure, but for the future. It is elevating the standarts of porn games, showing how much more they could be than just some generic shit. It was good, and it still gets better, and if this inspires at least 1 creator to try and do something similar, even in different formats, that's already another godly game. And thats enough.

    played quite a lot of porn games in last couple of months, many of them were really fuckin good...as porn games. like eternum for instance. truth is i only ever judged them as a porn game, never was compelled to compare them to my actual favorite games. but this....this is something special. this has ascended beyond the qualms of just a porn game for me. it's up there with my fav narrative driven games. the writing in this is actually phenomenal. the perfect balance of comedy, drama and sex in this game is something i would've deemed impossible had i not experienced it firsthand. now i am just sitting here with a limp dick in my hand fearing this might've just ruined porn games for me. i will forever thirst for this yet will never find anything to quench it.

    only complaint is that, though the free roam portions in between are really fun the first time but they get annoying and frustrating when replaying on different routes.

    Compared to even the Highly Rated "Harem Hotel" this is a masterpiece.

    I'm into chapter 4 of the first couple seasons and I can tell you this is one of the most addictive and compelling stories I've played (not just as an ANV).

    Character are all unique and well done with distinct personalities and body types

    The Story is excellently written and the plot holds my attention

    As a game it's minimal interaction similar to "Detroit Becoming Human" which makes it an easy game to get into and not get overwhelmed. Easy to chill out and play

    Cons: In my opinion the game lacks diversity. What I mean is there is a distinct lack of black, brown, asian, etc. I understand it's going for a white college experience but I would have loved to design my character or even had options for other love interest besides a bunch of white girls.

    Everyone's favorite game apparently, don't know how it got so big but whatever.
    Game is good, has some likeable characters, interesting story, decent dialogs, renders, etc. It has some issues though like the free roam that adds nothing to the game and that makes replayability a big hassle, a big problem in a game where you are supposed to take various routes.
    I dont like some aspects that make the whole thing seem retarded/stupid, like the whole prostitution stuff for example but whatever, only side chicks are involved in tht garbage anyway. Solid game

    If basketball has Michael Jordan and LeBron James, boxing has Muhammad Ali, and hockey has Wayne Gretzky, western AVNs have Being A DIK.

    DrPinkCake cracked the code with Being A DIK, quite literally. Even if it's still in development, this is already widely regarded as the greatest western AVN of all time, and I actually wholeheartedly agree.

    - From its rich college adventure story that's full of fun and crazy college shenanigans, amazing parties, and emotional moments that will pull on your heartstrings, this game perfected the formula for AVNs, especially for college-themed ones.

    - The multi-layered writing and attention to detail in this game are also top-notch. The plotline is mapped out so carefully, the main plot points and individual character arcs intertwine so smoothly without losing momentum, and without any loose ends. The goofy humor is also so effective, providing the perfect balance for the game's tone. The relationships also develop naturally and steadily, making the romance feel very organic and well-earned. The use of callbacks and parallelisms are also so brilliant, it'll give you goosebumps whenever it happens.

    - This also has the best set of characters in any AVN ever, IMO. They are so well-written and utilized that it makes the game feel more alive and college-like. From the wide array of girls that have their own unique personalities, backstories, and struggles that even the side girls feel like main ones, to the male characters, which will have you feel a strong sense of brotherhood. And so far, this is the only AVN that featured a lot of male characters and has succeeded in utilizing them effectively. Proof of that are the DIKs, especially a guy named Derek, the greatest "best bro" character in any AVN. It also features one of the most complex characters ever, a woman named Quinn. Also, the MC (main character) feels like another character completely, and not just your puppet, which is always a nice bonus in AVNs that prioritizes the story.

    - The choices in this game actually matter. Its branching system is one of the game's best strengths because it offers great replay value. You can shape the MC to either be a typical nice guy, be a dick completely (pun intended), or a mix of both. And in shaping your character, it also affects how the MC treats others, allowing or preventing you to do some actions, and enabling or disabling you to pursue certain love interests. It also makes other characters perceive and treat you differently.

    - The game's diverse soundtrack is incredible too. From instrumentals, party music, rock music, and to actual songs, this soundtrack takes the (pink)cake in being the greatest in any AVN, IMO. Not just because the songs are great, but also because the usage between instrumentals and actual songs are balanced. Because of that, when an actual song plays, it hits so much more, enhancing the emotions needed by the scenes.

    All in all, this is definitely another must-play AVN. It's an excellent treat that's full of adventure, laughs, wholesomeness, romance, and even scenes that might make you tear up. I'm absolutely looking forward to it reaching its conclusion, even if it's still years before that happens.

    Rating: 10/10 (5 stars).

    Wow, incredible VN! Plenty of choices, a wide variety of characters with depth. The story is well done and definitely keeps you engaged. The sounds/music is top notch too. The developer put a tremendous of time into this and it shows, a well polished game.

    I can't think of any complaints, it deserves 5 stars (y)

    I have never written or made a reviev on any game on this site, but this game has a special spot in my heart. I seriously belleve this is one of my favorite games of all time, and I don't just mean these type of games, but in general.

    This was the first avn I played back when season 2 got released on steam. I only bought season 1 to try it out since it was my first time playing one of these games. But MAN I was Immediately hooked and bought season 2 immediatly after finishing season 1. I think I replayed both seasons like, no joke, thirty times and each time was as enjoyable as the first time.

    When it comes to the writing of the characters, it feels like I actually get to know real people and the MC is very likeable and has actual character development, which in my opinion is rare for these games. It also feels like your choices matter, an exampel I can give is if you take money from Jill's room in, I think ep 2, she will confront you about it in ep 10, which in ep2 felt like just any other choice. It's details like this that just makes it all the more fun and engaging.

    I have nothing bad to say about the game itself, I think the story is amazing and the characters even better. The only think i disslike is that the development takes such long time. I fully understand that Dr. Pink Cake works alone and is working hard all the time, but I just wish it didn't take upp to 11 months for one episode. But again im not giving Dr. Pink Cake any shit, I love his work, I just wish it didn't take so long.

    There is alot more I can prase this game for but that would take forever.
    So, would I recommed this game? Hell yes! Even if you have no intrest in these type of games, I still think it's worth a try, just for the story.

    Final rating: 10/10.
    What can i say, other than that it is a masterpiece.

    This shit is a masterpiece.

    Version played: 0.10.1

    Smut: 0/5
    Story: 10/5

    If you're looking for pure, degenerate porno filth, this probably won't do it for you. There's amazing animations and very good sex scenes, however it's weaved into an actual story with meaningful choices and decisions.

    The character personalities are all unique and well written; including those with tropes (Mommy-domme teacher, Sexy librarian, etc).

    One thing that really stands out about this game is that the minigames are actually quite interesting and fun to play. I haven't played these types of puzzles in so long, it was refreshing to engage in them again.

    This VN/Game/Whatever you want to call it was quite enjoyable to play and I look forward to future updates.

    edit: I submitted my review before looking at others. Checking now, I've noticed many pt "masterpiece".Do
  13. 5.00 star(s)

    Fantabulous

    I concur with other reviewers when they rate this game as a masterpiece, any other rating would be insulting for a game that wipes the floor with the vast majority of the VNs out there in about every possible aspect, especially when it comes to narrative, the attention to detail or inmersion, to name a few. Speaking for myself, I'm not a supporter (yet) so I have absolutely no right to request anything, but if there's just one thing that is not done right is the fact that you can't pursue both Bella and Jill as LIs to the very end and instead you are eventually forced to pick one.

    I'm not suggesting having threesomes with them because their personalities don't fit that mindset. It wouldn't feel right no matter how you approach the matter and I wouldn't want any resources spent on such a futile purpose. But seeing as they're so close and both are so likeable it is disheartening having to pick one. I went for Jill on my first playthrough and experienced an amazing fairy tale that previously was only possible on old movies and literature. On my second I literally reached the point where I'm forced to pick one, I selected Bella but honestly, I can't get past that point. No matter how much I want to see how the story goes on with her, the idea of confronting Jill again and put an end to the relationship is simply unthinkable. I can't do that. So this is where I stop playing.

    This will probably be worth nothing to the developer but at least it will let the reader have an idea of what they're getting into if they play this for the first time. If so, enjoy.

    Being a DIK Review
    I’ve played a few indie VNs and thought they were pretty well made. Who knew that VNs that are extremely superior in overall quality existed? I didn’t. The “Being a DIK” gameplay experience was way beyond my expectations. Everything present in the game just screamed “Quality” at you. I was taken aback by the game’s stunning visuals, interesting plotline & amazing sound design accompanied by unique gameplay. It was truly a One-of-a-kind experience!


    Storyline
    VNs are always story-driven. They rely heavily on the game’s narrative & visual aspects since there isn’t a lot of gameplay involved. The VNs I played before had a very short story that lasted for about 2-3ish hours. I was surprised to see that this game’s storyline could go up to 12 hours depending on your playing speed. Pretty rad if you ask me. You get a lot of content for the price you pay!

    Here’s a short overview of the game without any spoilers
    A low-income young man leaves his widowed father and his summer love to attend college at Burgmeister & Royce. As he is thrust into freshman life and persuaded to join the up-and-coming fraternity Delta Iota Kappa, he will be introduced to a new world full of conflicts, alcohol, drugs, and sex.

    When you launch the game for the first time, the developer & the mascot of the game, Jill (At least I think she is the mascot), ask you a couple of questions like if you are over 18, if you are depressed, etc. This will give you a fair amount of info on what the game’s plot would be like.

    I jumped into this game thinking it would mostly revolve around making love & sex. I was completely wrong. There’s so much emotion. It felt as though I was watching an Ecchi anime with drama & a handful of Sex scenes. Unlike other VNs, Being a DIK doesn’t throw all story contents at you in an instant. The entire plot unfolds slowly, giving you room to take in whatever is happening.

    Sometimes, I forget I am playing an NSFW game. People usually play such games to get off of them. But here, you will get immersed in the story of the game. The game doesn’t fail in getting you emotionally attached to a character. And obviously, you have a shit tonne of choices to make. This enormously overarching storyline will intersect in an amazing manner. A lot of work & thought has been put into it!

    To be honest, there’s nothing more to say. I recommend playing the game & experiencing it all for yourself!


    Gameplay Mechanics
    It’s a VN Game. Such games usually rely on their plot rather than their overall gameplay mechanics. Let’s be honest, there’s nothing much to do in such games apart from clicking to go to the next scene. It’s a bit different in this game since it has something called “Mini-games”. Well, from the name, you can easily deduce that they are occasional small in-game games (I know, that’s a very childish way to refer to this) that act as an added source of entertainment apart from the storyline. When you start a new game, you get to choose whether you want to play these mini-games or not. They give you special renders, money & trigger some special events. I recommend you play them!

    Apart from the Mini-games, ability to free-roam & access to a phone, there’s nothing really unique gameplay-wise. You’ll find everything that you see in other VNs; Auto-Save, auto-scroll between scenes, quick save, etc. In the settings, you have almost full control over the dialogues. This comes in handy as it allows you to alter the speed of the text as per your reading speed allowing you to play the game using auto-scroll & watch it like a movie!

    To show that your choices play a major role, the game has a meter that shows your affinity to being a “Chick” or a “DIK”, the former being the good one & vice versa. The scale’s order goes like this: Massive DIK, Huge DIK, DIK, Neutral, Chick, Huge Chick & Massive Chick. The ruder/colder your responses are, the more your affinity to being a DIK increases. How do these affect your gameplay? Well, they change how certain characters approach you. This is vital if you’re trying to establish healthy relationships with all characters. You get the idea, right? So, be careful when making response-related choices.


    Visuals & Audio
    This is the other charm of the game. This game has outstanding visuals. I couldn’t find any other better word to describe it. Like bro, the character models are so detailed. You can legit see the effort they put in each scene. It’s a high-quality VN for a reason! The animated sex scenes are elaborate & the minute details are what make them visually pleasing. And here I was, thinking the other VNs I played had amazing visuals… A real 10/10!

    The sound design is flawless, ngl. I love the Soundtracks they used. It’s, by far, the best I’ve seen in any VN game I played. It’s so vibe-worthy. I usually listen to songs on Spotify when playing such games, but I was forced to close Spotify while playing this game since the soundtracks were amazing by themselves. I really love the main menu theme song! Good work on nailing every aspect possible!

    Pros
    • A very broad storyline that is not only focused on sex & love. It has a lot of drama & emotions infused in it.
    • The character design is top-notch. All models & animations are very detailed & a feast to the eyes.
    • The audio work is honestly amazing. I love the soundtracks they used!
    • Each & every choice you make has an impact on your gameplay experience.
    • It gives you more than you asked for. People come to this game for sexual pleasure but stay for the interesting storyline.
    • The game is 9-12 hours long. It’s pretty lengthy when you compare it to other VNs.

    Cons
    • I’ve not found anything bad in this game that affects your gameplay experience.

    Conclusion
    This game blew my mind. It showed me what a premium VN looks like. I always thought VN games were short & were carried by their story alone. Being a DIK introduced so many elements I’ve not yet seen in a VN to date. Well, that may be because I’ve not played a lot of VNs, but still. This game is an easy 10/10. The price, right. I’d have paid more than the game’s base price. It’s worth it! Do not hesitate to spend money on this game even if it’s not on sale unless you have enough patience to wait for a sale.

    Rating: 5/5
    (This is a gem! would rate higher.)

    It's so funny that I had avoided downloading this game for a long time just because of its name. "Being a 'dick'? Seriously dude... Couldn't you come up with a better name?" Also when I first started playing this, it looked like a regular VN with a common story and similar assets. Then the 'free roam' feature confused me. Because I wasn't used to this kind of gameplay. It was neither sandbox nor visual novel. But not long after the game with its art, unique humor, deep characterizations, fine work that done on animations and excellent story just blew my mind.

    It's been years, but I finally feel like I understand the genre and this game well enough to leave a five star rating.

    More than any other avn here, this game excels at consistency. It is simply the highest quality game in the genre. Characters are consistent, the art is consistent, the pacing, the plotting, everything-- everything feels thought-through, edited, and tested.

    It honestly feels wrong to analyze the game further. The game is like Alain Delon in Le Samourai. Or Taylor Swift. It's always beautiful, it's always in control, and it doesn't give a shit about my weird aesthetic or philosophical proclivities. It never tips its hand, it always knows where it's going. An unstoppable force. DPC has a (weird, pervy) job to do, he's the best at his job, and he knows it.

    The developer makes magic happen again in this game. The graphics are great, and the women look great with various personalities. There are a lot of women to choose from. The decisions you make matter and will change the outcome of the story. The emotions that you have in relationships in real life are in this game. There is a lot of silly fun in the fraternity you join that could make you laugh. Your fraternity gives you missions that add to gameplay.

    Best game on RenPy! And that's no joke.
    This is really the game that can perfectly become a guide to the world of visual novels (I don't promise that after DiK there will be a desire to play something else :D).
    You can see how with every update dev adds new gameplay, new visuals, it doesn't stand still, it tries to progress, and that's cool!
    - The quality of the renders is awesome, especially near the end of the actual update.
    - The plot is probably the best in the university genre, a lot of things are revealed and shown. And especially near the end of the third season, you can already feel the seriousness and consequences.
    - The sex scenes are just the bomb, huge variation, really huge, I can't remember approximately anything similar in other games. Plus they are high quality, you can see that dev dev devotes a lot of time to this aspect.
    - And of course the characters and their looks, I don't know who you have to be to not get attached to these girls. Each of them is unique, with their own jokes, problems, I'll say more, even the guys in DiK are perfectly written, they as friends are just the best, each has their own character and potential.
    In general, the best game and so far there is no other game that could even come close to this level.
    The only thing that is missing is to add new genres a little bit, let's say swing, sharing. Maybe we will see something like this in the future).

    This is the one, this is the gold standard that all other VN style games i have played are measured against and they all fall short.
    I wont go very far into depth as i'm not a good reviewer, but this game has some of the best characterization and storytelling i've ever experienced. All the potential love interests are sooo incredible well written and varied. with very real depth. The drama, though exaggerated for comedic effect, feels real.

    If you are here mainly for the porn; this game has great scenes with amazing chemistry and real sexual tension and release. Some chararcters don't get all the attention they deserve but man is the quality putting the rest of the industry to shame. But beware, you arent necessarily bombarded by sex scenes, especially if you go for a CHICK playthrough, but all the scenes are very good!

    PLAY THIS! and remember to support the creator by buying it!
