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

nice game
i am falling in love with bella who is so wonderful.
but i am not good at english so i cant explain how much i love her .
although i like jill too
when i played this game at first time , i told myself that i want jossy but i finally found i liked sega but when i found what jil did for me , i give up my load, and i begin this game again .
i told myself what i need to do is to make one of bella and jill to be my girlfriend .

I played this game back in early 2020 and found it has the best story, graphics and animation of all adult games I've played

I only vividly remember how this game is so great, but never played it again even after each updates

Fast forward in 2022, I replayed the game from the start and surprised myself how early part of this game still holds up and the later parts is even better with ramped up graphics and animation, BUT THE STORY is 100/100

All choices really mattered for continuation of the story, not simple like :
A. Fuck
B. Not fuck
like most of the games

BaDIK always has a special place in my heart, best adult story driven games I've ever played on this site.

If you're wondering if you should play this game, and like me, was worried if it was just another dumbass jerk protagonist, don't worry. You have the choice in this game whether or not to be a jerk to people. I myself chose to play as the nice guy (in this game it's called "massive chick") and had a blast.

I then went back and played the jerk path and had a new appreciation for a character named Quinn, who I hated in my first playthrough. Even though I rated this game 5 stars, it's not perfect, but I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't an entire tier above 99% of the other games on this website.

Another big issue people may have is the file size. I believe there is a repackaged version that is much lower in size, so if you are even a little curious about this game, try it. Then kick yourself for not falling in love with one of the girls sooner (for me it was Isabella).

I think everyone can agree on the fact that this is a masterpiece and in every way possible the best game of its genre. Period.
Not only does it have possibly the most artful and beautifully crafted renders, but an actual plot that is intelligently written, exciting, humorous and logical. There isn't even any cringe. It's honestly mind-blowing that the writing in this game is about 200% better than in literally any other game of its kind. DrPinkCake is an actual genius.

Just wow. Render are very good and story is awesome. All the girls are very different from each other,the choices have impact on the story and relations with the girls. A game that everyone needs to play.

Best NSFW game I've ever played. Writing is incredible, characters are all fantastic and have depth, music is really well suited to scenes, and artwork is top tier.

The waiter at the fancy restaurant is the best character though, I need him to make multiple cameos.

What a classic, I first played it two years ago, decided to start over again quite recently and it got me just like the first time, the characters are amazing, the renders (even at the beginning) are still top notch, it's well written, but what makes this game stand out is the rythm, the free roaming parts of the game REALLY bring something more, there are not too little nor too many of them and they are fun.

I first found this game and was kind of reluctant to play it. Now I find myself playing it a second time, I really fell in love with this game. I'm looking forward to seeing more from Being a DIK. Thank you for the experience !

This games character interaction feels more nuanced then the Mass Effect trilogy. Literally the only h-game I have replayed just to get more story out of the various love interests. Also one of the few games I have played where I like most of the main cast making it super difficult to choose who to pursue; although I am sure I will eventually have an appropriate save of the ones that I want with the correct setups.

Getting the obvious out of the way, the game has;

- A main storyline actually worth following along with. Seriously, so many games have an absurd storyline that gets blown out of proportion, or a storyline that lacks substance so you just smash click to get to choices and scenes. On that note...

- Pretty great writing. Nearly each new scene, including alternate dialogue choices or alternate dialogue and interactions with the various characters based on your relationship with them and overall DiK status, is worth experiencing.

- Superb models; wide variety of models in game [although all potential partners are thin, there are side characters with differing body sized models. Unfortunately, most of them are played on as a nuisance in some manner, but nothing so serious as to make them too annoying]. While there is definitely an obvious trend with the attractive characters, not every female is is a carbon copy of each other with minor body edits.

- Good dialogue [nothing to egregious or over the top and unbelievable, most conversations flow very well including sex scenes].

- Tons of love interests, of various levels [potential girlfriend, casual hookup, etc].

- Insanely well placed, paced, and chosen music options. Like holy shit.

- Numerous sex scenes, both static and kinetic, with a multitude of positions and options.

- A LOT of minigames. A whole metric shit ton. Individually, none of them are difficult [except the pool game with Josy and Maya on Hard...]. They all play pretty quickly, they are all reasonably unique from each other, and most of them serve a purpose instead of just being a filler [even if it is just an image unlock]. I do highly recommend how to learn to do a 3x3 slide puzzle, tho. It is easy to learn the trick to it, but not knowing how to complete them makes it miserable.

All in all, hands down one of my favorite games I have played over others in its category. Being a DiK is worth your time.

This is a quick review of the game following the release of the interlude before Season 3.

A really excellent outing, with a main character who knows how to pursue women and be a "chad", while still being a decent person and respectful partner. Great renders and situations, appealing characters, S-tier work all around - though it should be noted that I skipped the minigames, so I can't speak to their quality. I really appreciated both the breadth of choice and the game's expectation for you to eventually commit to one route, I'm looking forward to subsequent playthroughs.

Unbelievable that this is the work of one man.

(My one relatively very minor gripe: If you're on the left side of the political spectrum, there's a few eyeroll worthy characters and scenes, but let's be honest, if you're on this site you should already be expecting that.)

A concentrated feeling of every well known American youth film set in a college environment. A heavy emphasis on family as a theme and plot device. Very well written, great characters and fitting music. Also legitimately funny.

You start out playing because you're curious about the fapping material, but quickly move past that and get hooked on the story. It is way too good.

By far my favorite AVN, heck, even game. IMHO this game trumps most triple A games from big publishers.
Story is very engaging, music is just perfect for every scene, jokes are friggin hilarious, and all the girls have different and attractive personalities which makes me replay through different routes.
I just can't believe this is done by one person.

What can I say about this game other than the fact that it is close to perfection to the point that I can no longer view it simply as a fap material, because it is far greater than that. Story's more captivating than some of the AAA games (non-erotic of course) I've played, every character has SOUL and you literally care every (hot) girl (MG or SG) in this game. The only issue I have might be the development period it can take between episodes but consider the fact that the game is solely developed by DPC himself and the sheer quality he presents, I just have to build my patience a lot more.

The story of this game is moving and the modules are detailed. The characters in the story are very distinct and delicate, especially J & M, who is very understanding. Thank you very much for making this game, I hope it will have many seasons, and I look forward to playing it soon. ~ thank you

I love this game this story. Thank you.

Wonderful, absolutly wonderful. The best game i've ever played. Dr.Pincakes its my favourite developer. The graphic design its beatufiul and the story is so captivating. Its perfect like ero novel, but its excellent like a video game.

The number 1 AVN. Plot, lewd scenes, characters, and renders are top tier. Updates may take awhile, but that’s because Dr. Pink Cake is making sure what he’s giving us is the best he can do. The replay value is also amazing because you can have so many different paths. When this game ends, the number of hours I’ll have put in this game will be absurd

Probably the best game on this site. There is not much to say, other than this is close to perfection. The author really is a master in his craft. The only thing I wish was other love interests (like Jade) that are not mains would have more screen time, but it is what it is.

I played this game from about the beginning of season 2, replayed it about 10-15 times. And during the next replay, I realized that I had not left a review about this game. It's time to fix it. (Interlude Season 3 version)
I like to describe my emotions and thoughts in as much detail as possible, but I will try not to make a huge wall of text. If for some reason you haven't played this game yet and decided to read a few reviews before starting it, then I can say in short: You simply must play this game.
And now for those who are interested in reading more about the benefits of this game:

• Story - 4.5 out of 5. (Minus half a point just because I prefer more fantasy themed games) What can be said about the Story? Quite a common picture when a guy ends up in a university away from his home and does not know what to expect from it. As you can see from the tags of this game, there will be no fantasy and mysticism here. This is a completely ordinary story of the life of an ordinary guy in a far from ordinary university. (At least it is very different from my university haha) The text is written professionally, no mistakes or shortcomings. No haste or too slow development of events. Everything goes exactly the way you want. Even though I know the plot almost by heart and have played this game more than 10 times, I don't feel like pressing the "skip" button. I find it interesting to read a really well-written story every time. Everything from drama, adventure, humor, unexpected plot twists and other things is present here. In order not to spend too much time on this topic, let's move on to the next one.
• Graphics and Animations - 10 out of 5. Seriously, this is the only game I've ever played in which the graphics are so beautiful and high quality. I've played most of the games that have high quality graphics, but in my opinion none of them are close to this game. The combination of graphics, animations, angles, a wide selection of poses will not leave absolutely anyone dissatisfied.
• Music - 5 out of 5. In my review of another game, I said that I rarely pay attention to music. But this is practically the only game in which the music is so wonderful that I even saved a few melodies and tracks to my computer. Each piece of music fits perfectly with the scene it plays in.
• Characters - 5 out of 5. My favorite part of this game. It's very rare to find games where the characters are written so interesting that you literally fall in love with many of them. In my memory, there is not a single character that would be similar to others. Everyone has their own personality, their own goals, motives. Each character is really memorable and alive, you really empathize with them. This is one of the few games where I love the main and secondary characters equally (Hello Lilly, Riona and Camille, I love you.)
  About the Main Character: here the player has 3 options for how the main character will behave throughout the game. DIK, CHICK or NEUTRAL. Either you are a playboy, an alpha male, a party-man, a bad boy who is not afraid of fights, will not refuse weed, will do some kind of prank or something else. Either you are a calm and kind guy who tries to avoid what I wrote before, with good manners, a knight on a white horse if I may say so. Or you are not defined with an "evil" or "good" side and you play a neutral character who combines things from the first two personalities. The choice is yours! It is also worth mentioning that this is not just a choice that makes little sense and mainly changes the text component of the game. Depending on your choice, you will be loved and respected by some characters, but at the same time, other characters will not be delighted with you. (hello to some characters and goodbye to others) roughly speaking.
• The amount of content is more than enough. Trust me. (and this is far from the end of the game, although we are slowly moving towards it) With all the characters, there will be more than enough lewd scenes and content.
• Gameplay - 5 out of 5. This is not just a Visual Novel in which you click on the LMB and that's it. This game combines elements of a visual novel and a sandbox. And the game does it just brilliantly. You won't get feelings like "too much free roam" or "get bored just scrolling through the text". Also, during the free roam elements, access to the phone is opened. To be honest, this is incredibly interesting and cool stuff. I've always loved being able to call or text characters. Not to mention the mini-games, which are also good in their own way, although I did not give them too much time and attention. Do you want to go to the social network where all the characters live, see their photos and leave comments? Guess what? You can do it!
• I guess I'll finish with the review, it turned out to be quite long.
  Summing up, I can say with confidence that among ALL the games I have ever played (and there were quite a lot of them), this game proudly takes the first place.

Just finished season 2, and I will try to keep this review succint:

- This game has SOUL. This is the gold standard of adult games, and it's plot is EXTREMELY engaging. I never cared so much for fictional characters as much as in the game, to the point you worry about what's going to happen.

- Each character is nuanced, but there are some who truly steal the spotlight: Dad (Neil) and Derek are AMAZING, and Derek especially caused me to laugh whenever he was onscreen. Also, every char has a motif, and those fit very well with the game.

- As for the main girls, they are very nuanced as well. This game was a rollercoaster of emotions, as my MC got the feels for all the main girls, but eventually it dwindled to 2. This progression, defined by choices made blindly during the gameplay, felt very natural and satisfying.

- I truly recommend trying a blind run in your first playthrough. It's really exciting not planning what's going to happen, and be surprised by the results. As one character says very early (Dad, I think?), follow your heart and you'll be surprised about how the plot and relationships evolve.

- All in all, I rate it 5/5, as it's a masterpiece.

Being a DIK is a VN about a poor boy going to college and joining a frat. Frankly, I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to drop a review on it. It has over a thousand reviews currently and I doubt anything I'll say about it will be novel, but here it goes anyway.

Being a DIK is basically the height of erotic VNs. The renders and girls are absolutely beautiful, the choices matter a great deal, and the story is engaging and fun.

I think it's the story and characters that really break the bank though. While the art is gorgeous, many other VNs can compete. However, very few VNs will make me feel as strongly about the characters as Being a DIK. All of the characters, not just the girls, have strong personalities, interesting quirks, and goals they're trying to achieve. Even the "villains" of the story are irritatingly sympathetic once you understand what they've been through. There are times where I'd push Quinn off a cliff, but it's easy to see how her experiences have shaped her.

Every complaint I could manage to muster is just nit picking. I'm not a huge fan of the mini-games or I-spy segments, but they're uncommon enough that they actually break up the story well, and they're skippable if you really hate them. A lot of that is also the completionist aspect as well, as finding everything in the free-roams can be a pain... I just want to.

The only other issue I could mention is the file size. The game is nearly 19 GB. I suppose that's what comes with quality, but it can be a little annoying when you're trying to fit a 100 GB game or two on your hard drives as well. Once again, really a non-factor.

Overall, if you haven't played this game yet... why haven't you? I have a hard time coming up with any game on the site that competes with it, and most of them have less content. It's phenomenal.
