I definitely don't know if it's worth writing a review for this game, as it will be just one of many reviews. But one thing I would like to say is that this game is not all that people say / think. I can't say that this game is overrated, but in my opinion it is a little bit.
Point-n-click gameplay that sometimes makes you waste a lot of time. Sometimes I got stuck in certain situations.

This game does not have a fascinating story or that gets you involved, the choices do not have much impact, as the game forces you to be a DIK, this is because most of the time if you are not with a lot of DIK scores you will see almost nothing, and if you go to the CHICK side it is a waste of time. The creativity of this game is good but in many moments it ends up being quite boring to play, this because the game is full of mini-games that you are kind of obliged to play them. But on other occasions, I don't know if it's mandatory, because the rewards you earn are not worth the effort. But to make money in this game you need to do certain things, and one of them is to play the brawl mini-game, which in my opinion is a mini-game that did not attract me very much.

The story of this game was one that I didn’t like very much, it's a stupid story that you have to follow in a college brotherhood. But what if I don't want to follow that brotherhood? you can't, the game's script is like that, you have to follow. Talking about the characters, some are quite boring, I for example did not want to follow the dialogues and I was playing in rush mode, I put the walkthrough mod in order not to waste time and went on following. I sincerely, I didn't have much interest in following up, as I had played the first version of that game a long time ago and now I decided to play this more updated version. At certain times it made me want to stop playing, because I felt that the choices we make are very limited, the game shows you that you have the freedom to do such tasks or paths, but it’s not quite that, it’s something that tries to trick you, I had this feeling, but it doesn’t matter much, as it’s just a story script.

Now, talking about the graphics quality is very good, very impressive and the animations too. The gameplay was a little disappointing for me, it is not because of the choices we make, but because of certain mini-games and some functions that the game has, such as the cell phone and Rooster, and other things there, in my opinion certain things are quite useless, but you can ignore them. There are things in the game that make you waste your time, and your choices have to be carefully, you will not see all the content just in one gameplay, you will have to play another one if necessary or look for a mod that unlocks the scenes and gallery.

So, I'm editing this analysis because I think I wrote a lot and I want to do something short, I didn't like the story very much, but this is my opinion, because the story could be better and some things could be discarded so as not to waste time, I hope the developer realizes this. My big surprise was to think that we were going to choose X girls to follow, but it wasn't like that, regardless of the choice, you might be with her. Of course it will depend on your choices, but if you are an asshole with Isabella for example, something may happen between her.
Also, I expected more for sexual content from this game, I mean, this game doesn't have a lot of content, but it also doesn't have a lot. It was one of the things that disappointed me for an 8GB download game, because I expected to see more things, but scenes with certain girls, but when I finished playing this game I was wondering, why does the developer waste his time creating useless things? I'm not here judging, not even if your game is 100% sexual content, but there are things that could be avoided during the game. So, I had a slight disappointment with the game, mainly with the story and his gameplay. Do not think that I am saying that the game is bad, but a game with a stupid story, a gameplay removing mini-games and other things, acceptable, and with moderate content, I prefer to end here in this chapter or maybe I'll change my mind when I play the complete version game.

This game is the gold standard. Engaging story, likable characters, funny moments, plenty of sex with gorgeous renders. My only very minor critiques would be that the mini games aren't much fan and can be kind of difficult and the free roam portions could use hints or a map.

The first erotic visual novel, I realy loved and enjoyed to play. It's fun, sad, exiting, thoughtfull at ones. Charecters seems to be alive, have their stories and you beleve them. Best of the best, this game worth every single day to wait for a new version.

Not much i can say that hasn't been said by other people already, i already played the 0.4 version 2 months ago, spending several days trying different dialogue choices out without a walkthrough, and now i'm gonna do that again.

An absolute masterpiece.

I really... hate this game. I'm giving 5/5. What the fuck, right?

Because I know I'm not the target market for this game. I'm into PORN games. This is a porn GAME.

Renders are awesome. Dialogue is fresh and witty. Multiple love interests (LI). So far so good.

The thing, this isn't a "pick your LI and max those points per run-through" game.

No. To see a scene, you have to get a certain amount of general nice / bad points. Then, yes, you have to have a certain amount of LI points. But THEN, you have to have done a prior scene totally unrelated to the LI THIS way.

Then, do some open world hunting with some minigames. Get $ which can affect a scene, your combat stats, the LI disposition, and then do ANOTHER unrelated scene THAT way... and there's more...

... way... Way... WAY too complicated for me... but for most other people, you'll find that this is almost AAA game level. Get this game. Download it. Support it. Tell your friends.

Me? I'll probably continue and power through my favourite LI using a walkthrough to detangle the spider-web of prereqs... and pray to FUCK that there isn't an Acting Lessons moment.

Same dev.

/makes the two fingers pointing at my eyes and back to theirs and back to mine again movement.

No Acting Lessons moment... I'm serious.

Probably the best game I've ever played from this website, there's so much content and paths and minigames and mechanics... Its obvious that a shit ton of work is put into this. The storyline is really great aswell. 10/10

Reviewed Version - [v0.5.0]
Platform: PC
Date - 5/30/2020

Pros

- Great renders
- Marvelous taste in Music
- Funny as fuck
- Top-of-the-line animations
- Not a blue balls simulator, i.e., has a great deal of sex scenes
- Exceptional Free roam activities and minigames
- Story has multiple routes
- Main girls are well-defined.

Cons

- MC is a hypocrite.
- Story has no aim.
- Too many situations where you get baited and then cockblocked
- Only 3 episodes a year. Matter of fact, next update will seemingly be out 2 days after Christmas.

The best there is ; that simple.
Everything is just done so well, everything is better than the other games : narration, render, the characters...
I'll admit it's embarrassing that this game is one of my first in the genre, how can you appreciate other games after that haha.
And want to know the ONLY con ? It's nearing 10gb.

Review for up to version 4.2

There is so much story and so many girls in this one, each with her own personality it blows your mind. One of the few games to play for the story, while enjoying all the 18+ scenes as a bonus.

OMG, that is the best game I've seen so far. The art, characters and the story-- pure bomb. It takes a while to start but it was necessary as hell. Did I mention the animations? realistic as hell. Props to the devs for thinking everything through!

There's no doubt that the game has an awesome quality, funny story and good playability. But that's the problem for me. You waste too much time between sex scenes, which in my opinion don't deserve that time. But since everyone likes the game, you can give it a try.

Without a doubt one of the best adult games, Both the story and characters are top notch with many paths to take. To have all the characteristics implemented this great is kinda rare today with so many games being released

Very good game !
I love the story, the characters are very well written in addition to being sexual beauties (Bella and Jill mmmmmh).
The humor is really there, Derek is excellent!
Being able to chat by sms or with the Swipper app adds a very exciting side!
I can't wait to know the rest.
Thank you for these hours of play!

This is one of the best VN games. Even in its incomplete state, it has a lot of content. The story is great and I read almost everything, and I don't do it in every game. The art is also amazing. Different girls with different characters. Most importantly they have a realistic look, without oversized boobs.

Absolutely amazing, supporting the dev on pat was an easy choice for me.
There is plenty of content and the characters are actually developed. Your choices feel meaningful with multiple routes. I ended up liking the game for its characters just as much as its scenes.

The best game i played so far in my opinion, and trust me, i played a lot of games. Great history, it may sound cliche in the overview, but it's very original, with some good plot twists, interesting characters and some fucking good animations. It's sad that quality has a price and that price is that updates take a while to come, but that's perfectly understandable.

There are games that are made to masturbate directly with the same ideas or having powers. However "being a DIK" is a well done game / story. Its whole story makes sense and has some excellent graphics. Highly recommended.

Very well written visual novel, really made the reader care for the characters instead of the usual focusing on the sex scene while it is a really good add on though. The mini game isn't very tedious to play as compared to other visual novels which is full on handful. Im gonna support the developer on Patreon, looking forward for further expansion of this series

I never review the game before,

but this is one of the best game ever I play, from the story until graphics,
I recommended this game to you all and you don't will disappoint

10/10 for all from this game

The ending of episode 3 just blew my mind. If there is a 6 stars rating, I will vote for 6. It worth my time to stop the game, come to this thread and just to drop this comment. It is truly amazing.

P.S. It's 1.39AM in the midnight and the story just prevent me from sleeping.
