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

I enjoyed this a lot. The story is fleshed out so well that each character has enough depth to them. The dev definitely knows when to pull the heartstrings, too. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but it definitely earned its spot as a top rated game in this site.

3.5/5

Edit: The free roam becomes a chore and not fun. Replaying the game feels less appealing because of this.

Overall, it's good.

The free roam and rpg elements are a bit all over the place. I don't think their implementation is polished enough but I appreciate the effort for doing something different. I think all in all it's a plus though.

The characters are interesting for the most part.

My biggest issue is I don't buy that this is college. It seems more like a high school setting.

For the budget this game has I also expected some more innovation such as softbody physics for the animations (maybe even a full muscle system for the characters ) and the bare minimum at least cloth simulation for the clothes fitting but sadly that is even lacking.

Those issues aside you can tell there's a lot passion put into the game. But I'm afraid the dev's adult vn formula will be outdated by the time this game is completed render-wise ( especially without any cloth or softbody dynamics).

Writing is excellent, most characters go through interesting development arcs.

I played through ch9 others route and I tried to go back and play the rest but man, I just can't find it in me to care about any of the main girls.

This is genuinely my favorite game. It's got everything:
- Great visuals with hot and rather realistic characters.
- Characters with personalities and not just holes on legs
- Humor, rage, heartbreak, anger, mystery, sadness, this game made my laugh and shout and cry
- Some don't like that in a game, but I love that you shape your playthrough and choices do have consequences (sometimes major ones)
- Plenty of content with a great pace to it
- Mini games are fun if you like those, but you can disable them if you don't

I seriously struggle to find anything wrong with this game other than some of my fetishes are not always present in it. You could also argue it's full of clichés, but that kind of adds to its charm.

Seriously a great game that I recommend to everyone

Its okay. Theres lots of content, and the girls are pretty, but it really feels like I have to stop every 3 seconds and play a stupid minigame which really breaks apart the game and makes it harder to get lost in it. It also has a moral system (Niceguy/dik) which means you have to play through multiple times to see everything, which is annoying. It really stands in its own way on the path to being great

Best renders so far, sexy girls, good story. I played it through in one, without stopping, just to work in between. So much content, really good.
I wait for the next big update. Loving to continue.
Please give us more of those. Dense story, good characters.

have you ever played a porn video to just jerk off but you stay for the plot....well this game is just like that. i love this shit
story : 9.5/10
art: 9/10
scenes:10/10
character design : 10/10
character development : 1000000000000000/10

Probably the best adult game I've played. This wasn't just a regular adult game, this was the kind of game where I wanted to hurry home and see where the story goes next. I can't wait for the next update

The best Adult Game I played so far. It has everything, good story lines. good humor and perfect art and animation. I just can recommend the Game to everyone who is not here to just jerking off. Take your time and have fun.

Considered by many as the top game on here, I would find it hard to argue.
It is an enjoyable college romp with plenty of humour and spicy action..

The MC in it starts as s fairly moral and innocent character. We can continue his journey as a nice guy or become a bad boy. This also affects which females he can get freaky with..

Playing the Chick or nice guy allows you into a throuple relationship with Maya and Josey. Maya is lesbian and Josey is bi. Both are hot girls but Maya can be annoying with her feminist stances and whining about her daddy and money issues. Deal with it and grow up girl!

As a bi female, I liked having the throuple option. Unfortunately there's not much hot threesome scenes as yet. You have to choose between them each time...boo! Come on, we are 2 seasons in...there should be hot and heavy 3 way action by now... *wink*

Playing as a DiK is the real fun! you can stick the MC's dick in more girls courtesy of the slutty HoTs...

The story is engrossing and has great humour. Renders are amazing, apart from the MC's red skin...he looks sunburned!

Music is brilliant and fits perfectly. It helps the emotional impact in a lot of scenes.

Dr Pinkcake really has created a work of art. This game literally oozes quality and the fact the dev has so many patreons tells you something.

I totally recommend this game for the emotional and fun rollercoaster ride you will experience.

Quality VN

-I love the animations and the design.
-Mini games are entertaining.
-Interesting story; decisions always have consequences, which adds replayability.
-Comical, sexy, twisted, sad, and emotional
-Each character has their own distinct personality.

Good game, but not totally worth the hype IMO.
- Renders are 8/10. Nice colors but characters look very similar.
- Story 7/10. Good writing but very generic and predictable.
- Content 9/10. The Dev really has put a lot of work into this.

Looking forward for more!

Reviewing 8.2 6/10

Being a Dik is fine, it's sad to be honest that this use to be so great and one of the best games on the site. The last 3 chapters have sadly brought down the game's score a lot for me.

Atmosphere:
Let's start here cause it might be one of the biggest reasons for the game's decline, every chapter after 5 doesn't have that college fun vibe i got before that made the game so enjoyable. Chapter 6 was where i first noticed the decline, i think it has to do with the fact that you live with the Dik's now. It just really isn't good cause they are all side characters who you know are only there so you can do lewd stuff with they're girls, Heather and Elaine. Also the first 5 chapters were a lot more colorful and detailed, idk if it's a different program but the recent chapters just don't do it for me. All in all i really dislike the atmosphere of current chapters and 1-5 blow it out of the water.

Story:
When Maya and Jose happened, i actually loved this cause DPC made a twist that shocked me a bit, but also made sense. Sadly i'm not a fan of the generic "Homophobic dad" trope where he disowns his daughter, and he made this into a whole plot point so not a fan. The story has been pretty simple for the first 5 chapters and that's the best thing for a game like this. I sound like a broken record but chapter 6 is where this started to go downhill. Dpc is adding way to much drama and twists into a story that worked better as a fun college story that didn't take itself to seriously. Also can we please stop having everyone be related? at this point just announce that Mc's mom birthed every girl in the game. I literally rolled my eyes when i saw that dumb bait like cliffhanger from Episode 8. Maybe the Vinnie stuff will save the plot but i highly doubt it. Also locking out the girls was incredibly bad but i don't know how much longer the game is so i'll reserve judgeent.

Characters:
I always thought that the characters were a strong point for this game and i still somewhat do. The DIK characters to me have a super interesting dynamic but this an adult game so it doesn't get much focus comapred to the girls. I would watch a show of the Dik's life on TV if i'm being totally honest. The girls are also pretty good, but not as good as the male chracaters. The recent devolpment with jill has bothered me if i'm being honest. It's suppose to be a slow burn but really you date her for a few weeks and then you go straight to fucking her. It's one of the worst "Slow burns" i've seen. DPC also made her character a little too uptight, at the start she laughs at an ass joke then she becomes a prude about everything, decent character that i think DPC should've sticked with her chapter 1 self. Maya and Jose are okay, but kinda bland which is why they are the main love interests. I have no investment towards the MJ plot and i never will. The side girls are good even though all of them are one note, i will say that there is way too many characters if i'm being honest, like DPC's gotta relax. He reintroduced another character from the mc's past when there's other characters that need devolpment badly.

Overall Thoughts= This is a fine game that will give you enjoyment, i think it was great for 5 chapters then started falling off. I hope the dev gets the game back to it's glory days.

Exceptional game. The renders and animations are top notch. The writing and humor are both great. The only thing that could mess this game up is if someone dies pointlessly in a fire.

I'm a little bothered by being forced to choose who to be with at the end of the last update, so now I'm going to have to play a bunch of different paths. But considering how good this game is it doesn't matter. I'll gladly play all the routes. Just don't kill off any of my favorites.

Such a fantastic game! I was as hooked playing episodes 5-8 as I was 1-4! The story, music, visuals, and mini-games are top-notch. I can't believe this isn't being created by a larger studio. Each of these characters has a life of their own and you can feel the emotional binds each one creates.

The best 3DCG adult visual novel on the market. Character models are fantastic, story is pretty good, scenes are well animated and mini games are OK. Also the game is very big and not even close to being done, so I'd say this 5 star is deserved.

Great narrative. Few roots with their diffrences.
Audio, animation and visuals also great. Some grinding exist but avoidoble I assume.
And most important -- this game fun to play.
Perfection if spell it simple.
With each episode, game just become better.

I just wonder where this game can go.

Reviewing v0.8.2

Surprisingly deep characters and fun story twists along the way. Also, good looking character models and animations. The mini games are fun and mostly well done too. The mansion rebuild one is probably my favorite in any adult game. I however have a couple of major gripes. One, the story takes itself way too seriously and reacts for your character in a way that really breaks immersion. Just to give you a quick example, right at the beginning two of your 'potential' romantic interests turn out to be dating each other and the MC freaks out like someone he's been in a relationship for years broke his heart. Or reacts to the same sex relationship like it's the 1990s - I'm not sure which. Second gripe is about how tedious and long the free roam sections are. Navigation is a nightmare with the arrows not showing up consistently and no visual clue as to what is interactable and what isn't. And the final one is simply the lack of enough raunchiness in the game. The sex scenes are sparse and far apart and while it's padded by dream sequences and other lighter stuff, it just feels cheap. Deliberately being a a tease way too often. I understand it's probably going for a more realistic take but unlike most games where you have an unrealistic amount of sex, in this you have an unrealistically low amount of sex, especially for a college setting. You know it's lacking as an adult game when your dick's hard to soft ratio is 10:90.

Still recommended though if you have the patience, it's a good general visual novel.

High tier story, fantastically written and loveable characters, many great branches, super high replayability, room for both funny and serious gameplay, great music, solid mini games, great and unique mechanics, hot models and more. Probably the most hours I have in a porn game.
