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

Came for the pleasure. However, by the end of chapter 2, I didn't even realize the level of attachment I felt for all the characters, and it only skyrocketed by the end of chapter 4. Being a visual novel, the game by nature tends to force the player down certain paths- all of which had me nearly at the edge of my seat. See, by the end of the 4th chapter (version 0.4.1), The character development and plot progression had reached to a point that it did not simply sit well by just looking at the porn scenes, I suppose. By now, the desire to see the characters grow in their own ways along with their interactions with each other is something that shall only increase day by day as I await further iterations of the game. I never imagined that I would be uploading a review- but it was without a doubt, worth it. Remained for the plot.

Game was so good I ended up buying Acting Lessons on Steam just to support the dev. Great humour, great range of characters/personalities, good animations, no extensive grinding bs, and an extremely interesting story. It's a fun game that gives you the chance to live the "US college" or "American Pie" life. Can't wait for more updates.

I really enjoyed this game.
Character Models are beautiful.
The scenes are well animated.
The Story was good enough that i didnt skip any lines. I enjoyed the characters, the humor, the drama.
I also like the choice of music. It was a really well made game and I truly cant wait for more.

In preparation to play this game, I played Acting Lessons as it is the previous title DrPinkCake worked on to this. Let me tell you, when you first load up the game, and they warn you about the themes of the game, they were not kidding . Shit tugs at the heart strings more than Acting Lessons could EVER. This shit got me tearing up, angry and heart broken, and its only the first season. God damn do I want to fund this game, much recommend. Shit got me in my feels harder than the first game. #CumSlut

Why do I keep pushing off playing these games with awesome ratings ? If a game with hundreds of rating manages to get such a high one, it means people playing it loved it so much that they had to express it, even though it didn't impact the rating much. And I'm one of these people. What a complete masterpiece this game is shaping up to be. What a masterpiece this game already is! Obviously you need to take your time with it, but these are the best games. Playing while sleep deprived made me so emotional as well, I cried a few times, because of how much I empathized with everyone's struggles.
And that date with Jill... Masterful storytelling.
Derek is hands down the funniest guy in any game ever, while still feeling completely real and honest. The girls are all fleshed out, different and amazing in their own way. Most of the other guys, not so much, but meh, who cares really. Can't wait for what is to come next!
Seriously, you got a couple hours of free time? PLAY THIS GAME, you won't regret it!

What can I say they don't know anymore.

Being a DIK is an exquisite experience, with memorable moments, you are really interested in what will happen next.

The music is very good, and what I say is that the themes chosen according to what is happening on the screen are very good, it is a wonderful choice.

Not to mention that the erotic scenes are excellent.

Definitely a game to devote the time to play it.

An Exceptional game . Simply Perfect . The events , characters , dialogues all are well-made . The animations and all the textures are incredible . So far , the best game i have ever played in my life . Thank you for your efforts and please keep up the unbelievable work sir .

Review based on v0.4.1 (unfinished version)
Great game overall! The animations were the smoothest and unarguably the best I've seen so far. There are a plethora of hot girls to choose from, each with quite unique characterization and physique. The background music was on point and makes the game engaging, but it gets a bit repetitive at some places. Although there are not many paths to choose from in the beginning, episode 4 splits the game into 3 different branches and some major choices, plot points start appearing. The DIK system was a good add-on and allows for different choices, making the game worth playing multiple times. While mini-games are not the best, they are simple enough and can also be skipped. Thank you DPC for the masterpiece!

Came to do unholy things, stayed for the plot

To be fair, i've played this for a bit before (not even through ep1). But i decided to give it a new go and i must say I'm speechless. Such a masterpiece and a well crafted plot, with amazing renders and animations. This is for sure my new favorite game on here!

Sadly i am not currently not able to support through Patreon (life of a student you know), but i am definitely going to support once i am able to!
I strongly suggest you give it a go, and support this dude any way that you are able to!

Literally cannot wait for Season 2, I'm riding the hypetrain

(If you ever read this Dr PinkCake, keep doing what you are doing, you are one skilled mf. )

You want my Honest opinion on this Game?
Sure I'll give it to you.
BY FAR the best Game on here!
You want extremely High Quality Renders with beautiful Girls, you got it here.
They aren't just good for the eye, no they each have their own and deep personality.
The whole Story is really funny, well written and you actually feel like you're part of something huge here.
Literally all the girls are interesting and there's one for every type.
We literally have waifu wars here on which girl is best girl (Jill).
It even has amazing songs and I looked up some of them.
If you haven't played this yet you're seriously missing out.

A really good game, with good coding, good animations, amazing music and a really fun and entertaining story. The story with each girl and each root feels different with each other. Every episode the game seems to improve in every aspect and the mini games if sometimes feels tedious, are way better than other mini games in other games.

The mod that give you cheats and walkthrough is really helpful but personally is for a second run of the game if you really want to experience the best way possible the firs time you play it.

Im really looking for what comes next in the second episode.

Amazing....simply amazing.I've played many adult games but none was as good as this one.Dialogue is very good,visuals/models are very good,animations are very good and a very good scenery followed by a very good sense of humour.The whole setting gives you a pleasant and fun vibe.Even thought I'm not from USA,this game makes me think what would my life be if I attended college in that beautiful country...Would I also be in a fraternity ? Would it also be this fun ? Probably not,but one can only dream....or play
So in conclusion,dear reader,if you're truly looking for something refreshing,something to blow your mind,something extraordinary look no further.This game has plenty to offer.Kudos to the dev

This is a phenomenal piece of art, the graphics are high quality and the animation is smooth. You can tell the developer has spent a lot of effort in perfecting each image and it is very much appreciated.

There is so much going on in the story that I can't cover it all here, but I really feel like am getting a college experience and each character has a purpose, there is a point to them being there and it's not just one male character banging a bunch of female characters, which is brilliant.

There is a tremendous amount of new content with each update as well, the dialogue is solid and each scene feels meaningful.

I also like that there are seasons in this, the first 4 chapters are season 1, this is a very good idea.

I really enjoyed the mini-games in this as well, the tennis one is amazing and unique, loved that one.

Overall, this is probably the best VN on the market right now as I post this review, wish I had a fortune to donate to the developer as they have done tremendous work on this. Sadly no fortune but I can leave this review, thanks very much for this VN and really looking forward to more chapters.

I really enjoyed this game a lot wish there was more games like this at least graphic wise. Absolutely a great game. Beautiful renders and animations, nice game dynamics, interesting story, funny dialogue, and a lot of content.

You ever played a game that had 4 or more stars and then after playing you thought: Hmm, ok, not bad, but I really don't understand all that excitement.

Well, look no further. This game actually has it all: great graphics and animations, believable characters, good writing and story, excellent music and a ton of content. This is one of very few games here on the site that actually deserves each and every 5 star rating it got. The quality and quantity of this game is astonishing, the attention to detail is great, this is like the GTA V of AVNs.

So stop reading reviews and play the game!

A very small contra point: Sometimes the free roaming can be pretty annoying. But that can be easily overlooked.

Edit: Unfortunately, the free roaming events become more and more important with each new episode, and episode 9 is the sad culmination of this development, so I'm changing my rating to 3 stars. There is still maybe the best adut VN in here you've ever played, but imo they focused their development on the least fun part of the game and as a result the game got a lot worse. I also believe that the story is becoming increasingly bloated and convoluted.

Dude this is fantastic. the characters are amazing and the build up is all worth it. the animations are well made as well. this is one of the best adult game i have ever played. good job. Cant wait for future releases

A very well made game. Great story. No false promises .
Proper thought has been given to every character. Nothing feels forced. Every game component has been developed with option to skip it so one can just enjoy the story or play the optional content.
Has something for everyone.

What i would like in the future is an incentive to play the optional content.
It was a pleasure to play this and cant wait for future updates.

I really enjoyed this game a lot wish there was more games like this at least graphic wise and i found this game to have a bit of .. comedy .. the dirty type but hey comedy is comedy never expected i'd laugh as hard as i did only to be humilated since i was in a public libary lol partly my fault

Abolutely a great game. Beautiful renders and animations, nice game dynamics, interesting story, funny dialogue, and a lot of content. I especially liked the soundtrack, which really contributed to the story.

this is a huge production, with lots of renders, animation, minigames, tons of characters, music. so why did I give it 1 star?
the reason is that this is not Dr PinkCake first game, his ambition is huge, to make a great game, and in many aspects it is. I give it 5 stars for that, renders, animations, coding, 5 stars. even so the end result is just 1 star.
the reason:
theres so much added to the game, minigames and smartphone, tons of ui's but the most important thing to be able to chose is limited. the Dik/Chick system is not working. I can be mean or kind to a girl, but in the end I get the same chance, no matter what Im doing, its the same. Its not a game, but a story I need to follow no matter what Im doing. The Dev wants me to fuck everything, It doesnt matter what I pick. Im still the same. Sure theres options but I feel it doesnt matter much. I have played it twice from start, playing completely different, but its almost the same, no variation except that in one route I fuck everything the other I try my best to say "no" to everything, but its hard, the Dev wants me to fuck everything and he try his best to tease me all the time, even if I picked "no, no, no" multiple times.
this is a pure harem smut. lots of waste of time to play this game that promise a lot but gives little. the reason I play a game is the connection between the characters and it need to be believable and make sense. Im just a cock walking around that attracts all females. from a dude with little experience to a fucking casanova in no time. sure if you like sex and you dont give a crap about the story this game gives you that. but for that purpose I just download a real porno movie. a game should be more and in that aspect the dev failed. not failed in quality of renders, game ui, coding, that is 5 stars, but if in the end the feeling is "bad" and you didnt enjoy it, contrary you feel betrayed and wasted hours to play it, I can't give it good ratings. its terrible. its terrible because it promised a lot but gave little.
