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

It's a good game, like the 4 star rating says. But judging based on how the game made me feel, it's not an excellent one for me because it simply leans too heavily on the tragic side.
Everyone has a sob story: mother died, grandma died, spouse has been gone for years, etc. The dev must be thinking that tragedy hits harder than comedy and it's true, but: I don't want to be hit, real life does that enough. I want to feel uplifted and hopeful.
To be fair, there are multiple characters who (successfully) act as comic reliefs but the overall mood is a darker one (which you are warned of when starting the game for the first time).
The positives are clear: beautiful graphics and animations, many girls to pick from, a lot of content (although releases are infrequent, usually less than 2 in 12 months).
Conclusion: a good game that is marred by too much tragedy and drama.

Edit: typos.

Perhaps the greatest H-game of all time. The thing that sticks out the most to me is the writing, the game has extremely memorable characters, excellent pacing, an enticing plot, and an interesting setting despite being one of the most common you'll see in these sorts of games. I'm constantly in awe at how well-made of a game this is.

Of course, the renders are incredible (especially the further you get in the game), but oftentimes game devs will mix good renders with dialogue that sounds like it was translated from English to Polish to Proto-Indo-European and then to English again. What sets this game, and I believe DPK's games in general, apart from others is the quality of everything besides the renders.

Amazing Game that has it all like hot characters , the way it looks by far is 10/10. the story line is well put together , the design of the game is Amazing . like it the only way i can express better is if you play ( support his Patreon) the game i know it would NOT disappoint ( meaning its one of the best games out there in PATREON )

One of my favorite adult visual novels. Great characters, visuals, and even better story. I think the interlude was a bit unnecessary, but all-in-all this is my highest recommendation. Love all of the free roam events and the depth to each character. Diks for life!

This game is really a masterpiece
every episode blew me away with its plot, the characters are perfect and very well rendered and the overall experience is absolutely amazing
I cant really think of anything negative for this game so I would highly recommend it for everyone

Masterpiece! The godfather of VN.

Renders and animations in later episode are super realistic and smooth 10/10

Music and dialogues really fits with the theme of the game.

And most importantly the game is FUN to play especially if you are going the DIK route. Really the first game where the phone is used to its potential.

What sets this game apart from other games is every character got its own personality and the emotional connection. Some of the drama and forced romances in early chapters should be rewritten before game gets completed. Thats probably the only negative to me.

Highly recommend, and dont care what anyone says this is the best game on this site and its not even close.

Greatest game on here bar none. Story, characters, choices. Legit more than just an "adult" game. Great sex scenes, nothing forced. If only Sony, or Microsoft would allow these types of games, I haven't ever signed up for a patreon, this changed it for me. Legit in top 10 games I have ever played, telltale games level, but better graphics, and dare I say bar Walking Dead season 1, better story telling.

Ok i ws surprised by the interlude, but afterplaying it i can see why it was done, we see at the beginning of the game about the MC telling Bella that there was once a girl but she left to go surfing and they stopped talking and then the last he heard was she was seeing someone else and had moved on.

Now we can see why he thought that and the story from the other side and that showing how this girl had lived since leaving him. At the end she realises that there is no place like home (no wizard of oz jokes lol).

We see her arrive back home and knock at the MCs fathers house, then we revert back to the MC who is shocked to hear his girl returning and i guess this will now play out how season 3 is going to go.

1. Will she win back the MC heart
2. Will he follow his heart and stay with whomever he has chosen at then end of season 2
3. Will his old girl cause problems in his relationship if he choses another
4. Will there be 3 somes (that would be cool) with his old girl and new girl
5. Will his new girl dump him for his old girl leaving him heartbroken where he descends into drinking and drugs and starts working with Lily at the strip club (ok my mind gone off track now)

Whatever happens i look forward to the next installment and i really hope it does not take too much time for it to be realeased. So those that do not like it i guess replay the game to see the MC version (there was never mention that she dumped him he assumed from a photo) and then replay the interlude and you will see it really does set the scene ready for watching the continued expolits of our MC moving forward.

Thanks DR P for the installment and keep up the outstanding work

Best all around game on the site. I enjoy other games more do to personal taste but this game has everything. I know there will be people upset over the interlude but I found it interesting and should add to the game going forward. It was also clearly planned with the story prior. If it had been just thrown in there out of no where I would have been upset because I could see it as making up drama but this was clearly a planned part of the story and the only way to get the proper background is to do this interlude. It would have been awkward if we had been going back and forth through out the game. Excited to see where the game goes from here and am expecting an exciting conclusion.

Easily the best game here, and a huge inspiration for my own work. Every update motivates me to improve. I love the dialogue, the subtle humor, the quality of renders, the small animations that makes the characters more alive and the simple but in-depth story choices. The details within details is top notch. Love, love

Great game with an amazing cast of characters. Seemingly archetypical characters always find a way to break the mold and feel alive and different. Truly seems like it's just hit its stride at the end of season 2 and would love to see how the story progresses in season 3.

I enjoyed the first 8 updates upto season 2, but didn't like the interlude chapter. It was sorta plain and boring, other chapters had a lot going on at the same time so it felt dull and not like other updates.Missed Jill and Sage and Quinn and Rionna .

Maybe future updates will change my mind but it was worst episode till date.

(Till Interlude Season 3)The graphics and animations are top tier among all the visual novel I have seen, story are nice, the storytelling method makes it interesting,most of the music aren't my type, but still good music, every time the chapter ends in a "OHHHHHH ... oh it's the end...oh...."way for me,hack can't wait for more. Only one thing is...sad, which is...no harem route, but that is understandable...

It's a great game with a great story line and graphics and beautiful characters and thanks to all the developers who makes the Android port and mods and f95zone team an I hope the next update will be released soon enough cause I can't wait

First and second part very good good graphics and hot scenes it has its bad things like the story that some may like and others we may think is very cliché but the game is good it has many girls and several paths... well they wondered why 3 stars Well, the third part is really simple. I don't like it at all. We stop controlling the protagonist and start controlling a girl who really gives me her story, motivation, and everything they tell me.

Legit the best game out there with an amazing story , beautiful renders , smooth animations and a hardworking creator who even though takes time to create episodes but never disappoints. The game has gone better with every update .

Absolute masterpiece in the Visual Novel with 3DCG, I don't think there is any other game at it's level although there are several just behind it but still for that would be #1 at this moment and it'll take quite a while for it to be toppled.
Amazing graphics, A heavy yet funny story, Minimal tech problems
All in all the best among its peers.

Do I even need to review this definitely best game on this site

[v0.8.2]

Being a DIK was an AVN I thought I wouldn't enjoy initially due to the fact fraternities and sororities aren't exactly a thing here in the UK. So the premise never hooked me... Yet despite that, it quickly turned into one of my favourites, and easily one of the best I've enjoyed.

The overarching story, the various subplots, the tropes/stereotypes that may or may not subvert the cliché you expect from: honestly one of the best cast of characters I've come across. All works to deliver a compelling and enthralling narrative.

H-scenes
Overall the animations and statics have raised the bar for what I consider phenomenal. Fun, high-quality, and simply exquisite.

The "worst" complaint you will find is that finding some of the transitions (in the earlier episodes free-roam) can be a bit of a chore-- which is remedied with a fast travel map shortly after.

Mostly vanilla in terms of kink variety; though a few foot-fetish choices mixed in here and there. But there's always another option or skip within the choices if it's not your cup of tea.
Quite the selection of various positions for almost every encounter-- which is always a plus

In conclusion: Witty. Kinky. Punchy. There was never a moment I wanted to skip any part of it. With beautiful highs and heart-wrenching lows: it's an experience. Experience it

Author note: Bella. That is all.

Definitely, technically is one of the best game on this F95.
Aesthetically is great, awesome animation and frequent updates.

Unfortunately I find the story interesting like cleaning home on Saturday morning.
Of course is subjective point of view, maybe due my age (not a pre-teen/teenager).

I would love to see a game with this quality showing real hardcore scenes and not homogenized, safe-for-all sex scenes.
