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

This game has many great things going for it and I highly recommend it. The writing is top notch. I laughed at several moments, especially the moments with Derek. It also had ups and downs and felt more like a gripping story than a simple porn game. I experienced moments of panic and sadness and anger, and that's just amazing.

The animations were great as well, smooth and erotic. I also really enjoyed how in-depth the phone system is, letting you view stats at any moment so you can better make decisions and keep track of your rating. The decisions also had weight and felt impactful to the story, sometimes frustratingly so.

I also really dug the chat and Rooster app, being able to make choices through a secondary optional source. The Brawler mini-game was also surprisingly fun despite being a bit difficult at first.

Basically, I enjoyed the game a lot and will be watching for future updates, waiting for more. Oh and also the music selection is fantastic.

A very extraordinarily written story filled with comedy and drama. This adult VN will captivate a player into its world and play with the player's emotions just like the last VN Acting Lessons. There are so many characters with each having their own unique personality that you will either be attracted to or completely despise. There are also various moments in the game where decisions play a big role in shaping not only the protagonists story but his personality as well. There are also many mini-games that will boost the MC's stats that will help him in future events. Surely people would want to play an adult VN for the sexual content but this VN will show the player that it's not only an adult VN with sex, but a VN with a phenomenal story that will reach your heart. 5/5 - Best VN I've come across by a long shot!

Story telling, character diversity and creations most I like. Best adult game ever I have seen Keep up the good work Dr.Pink Cake I dont have too much money at least I can support you from here And I want to see more actions with Riona. She is so hot

Writing is on par with the author's previous title, which means really great, characters are great, story is nice.
Renders are good, faces particularly, but some tits do defy gravity. Animation for the sex scenes is fine. No voice acting.
Combats are a bit wonky but that's not a dealbreaker.

Hats off to Dr. P for creating this.

It feels.... real. Like you're legitimately playing out American Pie or some other toilet humour movie. Unlike those films, this does legitimately hit you in the feels sometimes.

What impresses me most is Dr. P's ability to weave a story. When revelations come, you can understand exactly where they came from and realise where all the clues were but still be surprised at the payoff.
That's just top quality writing. It's gutbustingly funny, sometimes sad, sometimes melacholy, sometimes goofy, always fun.

The art is great (a few minor niggles in Episode 1, like being able to see the lighting reflected in the character eyes but that gets cleared up very quickly) and animations are smooth.

And Dr. P is good about keeping everyone, even those who don't actively support him, in the loop, with weekly updates.

It's one very fine work.

This game is by far the best on this website. The amount of detail the dev team went into creating the characters, relationships, and atmosphere make the game feel very real. The humor is the same brand of toilet humor I experienced during my time in college and it isn't forced or over the top. The mentality of the characters and their driving force in life, from the nerds to the jocks to the rich kids, all comes across as very real. You can tell the team put in a lot of hours doing significant research in creating the game, whether it was from personal experiences or that of others. Not a lot of games get me hooked the way this one has.

10/10 would recommend to anyone trying to see how a good game is created.

if this game can consistently keep it up, it will be one of the best games on this site. Tbf even now I don't know how the author will come up with more stuff.
Hats off to the developer. Only improvement would be to carry on producing the good stuff

Prepare your penis for this sexy college based visual novel hi-jinks and hilarity will ensue in this epic game complete with gorgeous women and a hilarious frat bro by name of Derek (legend) i came here for the boobs, i stayed for the story

Solid game.

Great graphics, nicely done mini games (although they could use some adjustments), not a bad writing.
But its just... i dont know, too soft for me? I guess i picked the wrong route but i didnt encounter any sex scenes ( with the main character), just teasing stuff, meh... i guess im not a dik.
But if some light erotic sex scenes are enough for you, go for it, you'll have great time (no sarcasm)

Amazing quality of both story and renders. Characters do not look like every other Daz3d generated ones and he actually took time to customize them a lot making them very realistic! What a great upgrade in quality even from his other game Acting Lessons. Amazing.

You know, if you define a game as something that brings you some particular emotions, then most of the novels we have here aren't even games. They're just porn, shaped into a little bit more interactive form than videos, comics or stories. I'm not saying that it's hard to find a good novel, but what I mean is, when you find a couple of good ones, the rest start looking worse and worse. Just the way it happens with any other form of art.
And what's the most important aspect of any novel? Why, writing, of course. One gets used to good things quite easily. It's just as simple with the visual novels. And that's what I'm leading to: I really wish there were more people like DrPinkCake who would understand the value of good writing. There is only a handful of indie novels out there that provide us with a great reading experience, and I do hope people will give them as much attention as they deserve (however Being a DIK already has a great number of supporters, so you can't say it's underrated in any way).
This novel has it all: cultural references, self-irony, characters that feel alive, and actually believable, natural dialogues. It's hilarious or serious when it needs to be, it never gets boring and keeps you sucked into the story, makes you feel for those characters, even if it's just a porn game.
I truly wish there were more adult novels like this one in terms of sheer writing quality.

-the story is intriguing and really funny
-the music fits the theme of the game
-beautiful rendering, especially in the new updates
-cool minigames

I also like the switches between story driven vn and the free roam.

5/5

Great character drawings with actual interactions, and a good story. Although at times it still feels a bit like the typical book-style "game" and some of the interactions points were complicated but overall a solid good actual game.

This game is by far the most story driven game I have played in a while , just like acting lessons where fapping is secondary choice and story is more important (to me) . All the characters are unique and have their own charisma. The game is easy to play and gives you an option to skip the minigames( for players like me who dont like minigames). Renders are beautiful and unique and story is crafted the way you want. Actions will have consequences so beware as no one knows when will somebody die (Acting lessons). So in the end peace out and enjoy the game.

1- Being A Dik ( Overall Score: 10 / 9.5 )
(Best Feature: multiple path)

Humor: 10 / 10
Character Development: 10 / 10
Story: 10 / 9.2
Update time: 10 / 7 (?)
Content for each update: 10 / 9
Render: 10 / 10

This game is 1st place at my best 5 games list.

This one is best game so far. But the only bad part is that the update dates are not certain and take longer.

I must say, i've never though that i would see something inspired by american pie be even better that the movie itself. It has a simple plot and premisse but it delivers so god damn well. one thing that i adore about dr pink cake is that he really knows how to make caracters and develop them. the fact that this game gives you the choice to be a terrible person or a good person and suffer the consequences of your choice just makes the game worth while to play. the only problem that i had with this game it was the mini- games but that issue was completely fixed on the third update.

Because of that, it gets a 5/5 for me

Quite possibly the best adult novel on this site and for what it's worth, the best one I've played.
At the moment of writing this review, the first 3 episodes have come out and purely by its graphic quality, the game stands apart with just a few others that come close to it. The renders are beautiful and not once was I left with a feeling of "hey, this looks weird". Far more importantly, the author has really worked on trying to create a unique vibe which would be suitable for a uni-frat type story and it's bang on.
Most importantly, the story in this game is fun (loads on interesting scenes), but also thoughtful and well-paced, there are actual obstacles on the road to a home-run and your actions do feel like they consequences.
Hands down, I'm impressed and can't wait for the next dose of this awesome piece of creation.

A very, very good game. The renders are excellent, the characters interesting, the decisions seem to have weight and of course, the girls are hot and the sex is steaming. Easily a 5-star game.
There are optional minigames that are also interesting, and short, mind you.

As a note: There are choices that were difficult for me to make, not because they were not intuitive but because many choices have pros and cons.

Great game, a good caring developer. Acting Lessons is one of my favorite games by its decisions and the story telling and Being A Dick hasn't disappointed me in any way so far. I am sure it will get better

Review for 0.4 played from start for each version since first released.

Because of this game, I try to review others without comparing them too much, I mean this is far above what I expected of one game of this kind.

So much different girls, the quality of the renders and animations is phenomenal.
An impressive soundtrack, mini-games are fun and optional.
A very well written and interesting story, a lot of h-scenes. Choices are important.

Those cliffhangers are a bit cruel let us wondering what will happen next, can't wait to see the story develop even more.

It is very difficult for me to choose a girl they all have their qualities and flaws. From the main girls, I really liked Sage in episode 4 and each time that Quinn appears I like her more, she seems to really care about you, I hope that she doesn't screw the MC in the end. Although in most games I choose early a favorite and go with it here is difficult to choose, no one looks that "perfect" nor that bad. Wanna see more of Camila and Riona. Favorite game.
