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

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.

This is an awesome game. This is one of the game changers that make people really interested in VN's and it's an adult one to go. Also, it's got some perfect situation based creative mini-games and damn good music selection. worth giving it a try.

Graphics are top notch. Stories are top notch. This is probably the best game out there for this industry. I haven't seen another game with as great skin and flesh physics as Being a Dik other than latter version of the Awakening and Milfy City. Just absolutely wow.

(This is my first review-in the genre of adult games in general even though I've been playing these games for a good while. Other game(s) was going to be my "cherry popper" but oh well.. things and priorities change)

I don't belong in the "tough crowd" category, I'm no Simon Cowell. If there is a compelling story and hawt grills, I can more than enjoy it. And let me start by saying.. this one overdelivers on both.

There's a plethora of girls (and something tells me there's bound to be more) that covers pretty much every taste. They fascinate you as characters and you want to learn more about who they are, what do they want from life. Although there's a good effort to evenly split their screen time (which is surely something hard to achieve) you're left with a bittersweet taste regarding some (more Jill pretty please). But I'm confident that, in the long run, you'll get to know the ins and outs (literally) of every one of them and go for the one(s?) you want.

Story is a very realistic simulation of college life. Main character is largely relatable (except maybe this "plot convenient dumb luck" being around so many ravishing beauties). There are twists you'd expect and others you wouldn't. Choice system is very well organized. Mini-games are a wide range and enjoyable and some even give useful rewards. Visual novel elements are well structured ("just reading a bunch of text" before "you jumb back to action" is negligible to non-existent).

Visuals and art are greatly pleasing, adding to the immersive experience. The music is another great thing about the game (I tried searching for the one that stood out way above the rest and gave me an earworm as "til tomorrow til tomorrow" but couldn't find it, got lucky from the in-game music tab lol). Also really appreciate the humor at times (the intro, "SILENCE!" looooool).

While I do have some moot points, particularly how the main character reacts at certain points (like a girl/spoiled brat) and a larger degree of freedom in some ways would be greatly appreciated (like, what you can type in texts/social media), they don't affect my view. This is overall an exceptionally well made game, from all aspects. Big kudos to all who worked and keep working on it, I tip my hat. Greatly recommend to everyone. I'd put 10 stars if I could.

P.S. Don't feel the need to rush and finish it, wouldn't mind if it kept getting updated forever and ever

Not much to say about this game that hasn't been said. It really is an experience. Rarely do you play a game, and a porn game at that, and be attached to characters as much as this game. This is coming from someone who was a skeptic at first.
The writing is some of the most solid writing you'll be able to find on this site, with ups and downs that are very well balanced, with a nice range of characters and personal moments that keeps you hooked.
The renders are very nice, and the character designs are some of the most colorful and interesting with a lot of thought behind what they wear and how they are posed.
The animations to me are decent to good, but that has to be the only critism i have, and it's very minor (like a 8/10 instead of 10/10)
Everything else is top notch, presented with a very high quality. From the moment you start the menu screen, you instantly know you are in for a ride since it doesn't have those templated menu screens that every game seem to have. After finishing the game to it's most current state, all other games don't even come close.
This is a must play.

I don’t usually do reviews but this one deserves it. I find it difficult to find any cons with this game. The renders are great which is expected from DrPinkCake. The animations are among the best out there. It’s the story and dialogue that make this game easily 5 stars though. The story is light hearted but it feels like a classic college comedy but there’s also strong romance as well. You really start to care about the characters in the game. All in all this is easily 5 stars and probably my favorite game.

really fun game, probably in my top 5 has diverse cast of interesting characters to interact with and story is lighthearted and fun. some interesting cliffhangers at the end of chapters make you wanting more and thats a good thing without being overly dramatic.

One of the best games currently around. The story itself has its appeal and the characters are varied enough to speak to many different preferences without being too one dimensional in their archetypes. Even the characters that appear as if they could be described in one bullet point end up having more character once you get to know them.
There is a lot of actual H-Content in this and it delivers on the fantasy that is promised on the box "What if every college movie ever, but as an erotic game?" and while it is not the best of it you will see in any game on here, it is more than servicable and it being integrated into an appealing game itself is a big part of why it works better than most games that have good scenes, but which are poorly presented within the text itself.

With that being said, the writting isn't perfect and while there are genuinly good dialog paths and options and a lot of nuance in many topics, there are also parts that are just plain embarassing. The "aren't feminists just screamy ugly women"-shtick was an okay gag the first time around as an over the top parody, but after it turns out it was not only there to stay, but "Gender studies" as "Wanting to learn about womens issues" is one of three courses complete with the joke "Aren't women flappy and the real task is to have to listen to them when they tell you about their lives" made it a bit painful to read through. The contrast is so stark that I genuinly don't know if the author believes that as a grown man or if he just knows his audience well enough to know that this flies with them.

That being said, these parts are ignorable.

One of the best games here on f95zone.
I'm impressed of the game as a whole.

The grafics are magnificant and the character design is really nice.
The story is based on the "typical" american college/university (not exactly sure where you have to draw the line, because I'm a german PhD student and nothing like this happend to me - don't know if I would like to have this experience myself ), you see in many american college/university movies. Therefore expect horny students wanting to join a fraternity and bang as much girls as possible, slutty girls banging students for fun, money or influence and professors/decans/teachers feeling attracted to students. Nontheless the game impresses with complex main and stereotypic side characters, funny moments and some serious topics. At some points I was really amused by the funny moments of this game, especially with Derek (who maybe isn't that stupid at all ), while in other situations I was a bit sad about how the storylines move on (not because it was bad at all, but sometimes you just wish it would develope somekind different - maybe because I would act differently ). The highlight of this game is not the setting on an american college/university and the story about a guy comming from a poor family, going to college and tries to find true love or a as many sexual adventures as possible, the real highlight of the game is the development of the characters itself, mostly the relationship between the main character and the possible romance interests / sexual encounters. Not every interaction moves directly to a sexual encounter, whats quite nice, instead there is a distanced introduction phase, a phase of confrontation or slutty sexual interaction and the development to something more friendly/romantic relationship alongside with the development of trust and revelation of the characters background story.
In a nutshell: I really like this game for it's pathing, it's funny moments mixed with some dark scenes, the funny character Derek, as well as the more complex characters with some backstory and the development of characters relationships from strangers to friends/partners? Personally I would prefere a less sexual development of relationships (like with Maya, that's one highlight) but it's american college setting so it has to be like this.

Thanks for reading, I didn't plan to write such a long review
All the best and have fun playing.

Probably the best VN/Dating Simulator on this website and out right now. Dr. PinkCake has really outdone himself this time. Beautiful renders that look crisp at a high resolution, and amazing character design. They're not your cookie cutter Daz 3D Models. Each character has a unique personality and you can chose who you like/dislike and who you want to get with. The story is nice. It's your typical college dude frat story but it has some nice twists from that which make the game more wholesome instead of just fucking everything in sight. Overall I cannot wait for more content! Simply amazing game.

Pros:
- Beautiful High Definition Renders
- Gorgeous Character Design (Isabella )
- Great Free Roam/Story Progression (Doesn't Feel Forced)
- Amazing Scene/Animation Quality
- Immersive(ish) Story
- Great Choices w/ Great Consequences
- Good Humour

Cons:
- I personally prefer more emotional attachment to characters, but that's just personal preference. This game is amazing and I hope Dr. PinkCake builds on emotional attachment to characters!

Is a really good game. Must play. All models are stunning. Story is relatable to real life of course except you do not get to sleep with so many girls at once. Renders are of really great quality, It has a music playlist which I do not use though. Playability is great without bugs on my slow pc. Only problem I had was with the minigames which were not playable(my game crashes).

IS A MUST PLAY!!!!
Being a DIK is one of the best games i have played ever. Every character model is just remarkable. The characters are like able .Character back story very well though out. One of the best things about the game is its animation very smooth, high quality renders and the MUSIC selection. Its not the same as other games where sometimes they reuse music this game has it all.

One of the best games this site has to offer in terms of story, renders, girls, soundtrack and overall sex scenes.
-Lots of free roam and in general good story progression.
-Lots of different girls to choose from, that actually have personalities and not just some random girls you have sex with.
-Lots of scenes to satisfy pretty much everyone's desires/fetishes.
-Extremely good rendering quality that makes some renders almost like real photos.
-Has choices that will lead you in different stories with different characters
and how they see (treat) you.

Overall an awesome game 10/10 would recommend

I have never played a western porn game before and it completely blew my mind! The models are definitely top notch and will keep you dreaming about them for nights on end. Kudos to the designer for sculpting, bringing the soul into these creations. Scrumptiously epic

Best adult game for now, it had good story telling , humor , lovable character (y'all are gonna attach to them) Best adult VN you gonna play, the Renders and Animation is damn really good also a mini game a icebreaker to not get bored

- the game are similar to telltale games so this one is for you (every choices has consequence)

Reminders

- Dont put your shoes in this game it makes you feel bad
( I think thats the thrill of game)

I think it is the best thing I have read and played, the plop twist in chapter 3 is brutal, I did not expect it at all, the characters that are well done and what to say the lewd scenes, hopefully they will take more caps

The best porn game I have every played!!!! It actually has a good story, with interesting details and fun moments. The grafiks are beautiful and so are the girls. And the attention to details daaaammmn

10/10 story

Fapabilty 7/10 (but stil really good)

10/10 grafiks

Overall this is a game I would pay money for! (but free is cool)

Very beautiful and interesting game with great story, nice and deep characters, a lot of fun moments and much more else.
The author really takes it seriously and trying his best to keep the quality of his game at very high level, and so it's still one of the top-rated games among all.

By far the greatest VN I have played.
With a story packed full of heart and heart ache ,
You find yourself lost within this tale of a journey into human behaviour and emotions.
Excellent writing, design and of course the animations. Can't wait for episode 5.

With help from a walkthrough I got a near perfect ending for season 1 but after finishing I had this strange feeling of emptiness in my chest that lasted for over two days after finishing the season. It felt like I moved away from my friends and family or broke up with someone after a long term relationship. A game has never made me feel this bad before.

10/10 love it, great scenes, meaningful choices, great characters, can't wait for episode 5
