    It used to be pretty cool with a likable mc and an interesting story and all that stuff. but right now its just frustrating with all the pointless minigames and it feels like the story is not even about the mc anymore. that wouldnt be such a bummer if it wouldnt take a year for new stuff to come out. also why do i have to choose between li if its all casual. i would get why the mc would feel bad about dating multiple girls if he wants a real relationship. but he wasnt dating any of the main li in my game right now and he still whines about needing to choose.

    Simpgor

    Maybe when this came out it would have been 4 stars (but not 5 because of those illogical sandbox sections)

    but now its just a mess of paths and stilted storytelling (because multiple years into this game harem is bad and evil!!!!1) including mandatory boring sandbox sections where you talk with people you dont remember because they have no personality beyond their basic traits

    In the modern landscape the writing is lower than the vast majority of "highly rated" games, the renders are very good but no longer best in class, the forced sandbox and minigame sections are boring, forced, and drag down a middle of the road experience to something that I can not recommended playing

    you dont see people simping over jumping jack flash because it was the first 3d game you shouldnt simp over being a dik because it was your first AVN

    The first thing I wanna say is that my impressions are based on playing without the mini-games. I tried, but I couldn't deal with them. This is NOT a bad point for Being a DIK though, the author had the foresight to make this content optional, and giving options to the player is always a great thing.

    The second is just a reminder of how many LONG reviews this game has. You can like it or dislike it, but writing a handful of lines about something of this magnitude seems inadequate. There's a lot to say, hence the following.

    - I'm starting with the audio this time - There's a lot of tracks, a fair number are good and more importantly, play at the right time. This is coming from someone who can safely spout "not my cup of tea" at the some of the genres used, I still recognize their quality. I'd like to single out "Just Peachy" by Bellsmarie, it's perfect for Maya and the "triangle situations". Picking proper audio is an important skill (that many lack), so props on that account. The next step is voice acting I believe, and that would be the real kicker to greatness here.

    What do you think is catapulting Slay the Princess to success? The obvious trigger to almost everything, that is picking up the knife or not doing it? Well yes, people are easily impressed, great publicity and the previous title seal the deal, but V.A is also one of the main reasons: "You are on a path"... Look at something like Snow Daze The Music of Winter for instance. You don't need professionals and tons of money, even sub-standard, partial V.A, is better than none.

    - Humor - I'm not sure how to sell this in any other way. Being a DIK had me laughing numerous times. Yes, I'm an easy target. Yes, I'm partial to immature or "foul-mouthed" jokes. Yes, I like the reversal of PC culture arguments with satire. Yes, physical humor with dildos cracks me up. I'm not sorry, if it's funny I will laugh, and if I laugh it's funny. Thinking about what jokes should be funny, is a stagnant concept outside the circular logic associated with the terms "laugh" and "funny", ergo it never touches the circle. "Double ergo" it has zero relevance to the circle. "Stretching the ergo", pseudo-intellectuals don't stop Being a DIK from being very funny.

    - The free roaming sections - I never took a spatial awareness test in my life, but after Being a DIK, I'm pretty sure I would fail spectacularly at any of them. I took the wrong path dozens of times. I don't know if it's me or the game, but it's definitely the game. Don't you feel any sympathy for the physical integrity of my monitor. What about my sanity?

    - Visuals - I'm gonna go there, and address the "pioneer idea" that the girls are not realistic. It's STUPID . What's next? Are you gonna cry cause people don't die, and no one ever fights seriously in "The legend of heroes", after 13 titles... The rapture can't get here fast enough, so one of us gets taken away permanently. Forget breast, thigh, ass, and all other sizes, what you need to do is inform yourself on the product you are purchasing, and act accordingly. I'm not even bringing artistic freedom to the table, or the fact that VN's are ALWAYS an obvious product of fiction. My argument is simple: Don't try to change the very nature of things, acquire different things, more in line with your own taste.

    With that out of the way I like the girls (What are my odds, regarding Sage jumping out of the screen, in Quantum physics/theory/tunneling numbers? Wife says it's cool, if it happens), the animations, backgrounds, and the adult scenes. As far as I can tell, is higher quality all around, when compared to some other noteworthy titles that you can find here.

    - Isabella - I don't remember seeing any character quite like Isabella in any VN. (If I say how many I have read so far, it will sound like I'm bragging***). She looks like she could grab a 2-handed axe and cut a man in two, if he has the gall of asking her, whether she used milk on her omelet. Forget her emotional conflict, being on guard and "murderous" 24/7, is definitely on the original side of things. She is kind of like a reverse "yandere", who will kill you first, and then give you her sweet side (metaphor, not necrophilia). At any rate, I had fun messing with her, and realizing that was not gonna work.

    - Being a DIK shows a ton of ambition- This leads to many problems (I will address some below), but I just love when developer(s) try to go beyond (reach the next step of the ladder), when so many just achieve one success, and sit comfortably on easy money and repetition. (This is especially bad in adult videogames and visual novels). The praise stems from the existence of "things" like One One1 or Yuzusoft, in essence. Never settle, always strive for more.

    - The alignments (DIK) don't work - The entirety of chapter 4 made zero sense after my previous choices (as DIK). I had no idea what was going on, and why the protagonist was so upset when I payed little to no attention to both girls involved , (lots of Sage, Sage, and more Sage, a bit of Sage, not much Josie or Maya...) You can't have the protagonist act like that after the choices I made. I understand that getting this right is a huge endeavor, but this is a deal breaker at the moment. Hundreds of choices, and a protagonist that decides to think for himself are always gonna clash. I decided to just restart, but I was close to uninstalling the game, on account of my own incredulity staring at my screen.

    - There's no main story - More accurately, the slice of life/comedy/ is overwhelming, and drowns the rest, at some point. Again, it's wonderful that the developer wants to do so much, but my brain has trouble keeping up with all the paths taken. That means that when you suddenly insert a relevant flashback/exposition, and backstory to some character, I may not be giving it all of my attention. That's a recipe for disaster, in a title that is obviously driven by the desire to portray interpersonal relationships, and ensuing struggles.

    - The girls are following the alignment system - I will give it to you straight, there's only 2 types of girls in Being a DIK (Isabella is the odd 3rd). The first is the "good girl" who has everything going for her except some sort of first world problem. The game wants you to court them and be nice to them. Then there's the "bad girls" who give a "loose impression", and respond positively to, or initiate sexual interactions, faster than the competition. There's a narrative there (regarding the sorority dynamics) thankfully.

    I refuse to believe that the writer is unaware of character archetypes in VN's, and incapable of stamping some quick exaggerated quirks early on, just to separate the waters, and then proceed to more complex considerations. Let me point the finger at Jill, Maya, and Josie. They are way too similar, and my choices towards them reflect only one character. I'm not against picking someone based on attractiveness (quite the opposite, I do it all the time, cause in fiction everyone ends up being a "treasure"), but personalities are far more satisfying to consider. What do you think about when best girl votes/posts come around?

    - The legal problem Maya faces - I don't live in the U.S, and I don't know its legal system, but this has "90's soap opera twist" written all over it. Bad faith claims, and state provided attorneys are a thing there I hope? The irony of me complaining about this, after my speech on "breast" size above, is not lost on me, but come on, this is bad. Make her infirm and on her death bed. Make her move to the Fiji islands for a year. Or make her the last princess of Mars on a quest to save her race by breeding with humans. Not this. I'm gonna stop here (dead horse...) but I had another dose of the same remedy for Jill.

    IMPORTANT: I stopped playing here

    - Parting words - The seed of greatness is here, despite some of my harsh remarks. There's no mistaking it, and I think this is a title worth purchasing and supporting. The problem I see happening here, is the foundations of the work being neglected, in favor of new content that pushes the title to finished state, or just aims to "please the consumer". It's a strange comparison, but look at Crusader Kings 3. That game could be legendary, if they were to fix the basics, instead of adding more things for "freshness" sake, and sales (it's also about manpower invested and corporate interests, but I hope the main idea is getting across).

    I don't have a score for Being a DIK( I didn't saw all of it), but I'm hopeful this could be a stepping stone to the (hopefully bright) future of visual novels/adult games produced outside Japan. That's what I see here, the seed of growth and possibility. Also I have I mentioned that I really like SAGE, that's important.

    ***Over 150 - It was false modesty, I'm afraid.

    One of the best game i have ever played. Character build up + story + graphics the best i ever feel and rendering are seamless. All girls are properly created but ISABELLA, SAGE and JILL those 3 are my favorite characters.

    I love this game. With the episode releasing so soon, I still have no idea where to begin. For 9, I went with Sage path with Jade to see the chaos. For 10, I don’t know. I want to do my recent Rio solo run but also want to see what happens with Quinn player route, the previously mention Sage/Jade path and everyone else. I just love the playback ability. Keep doing your thing Dr.PinkCake

    Simply put, its the best AVN out there. While the setting is something that has been copied countless times since BaDs release, no other game that I am aware of has managed to capture the same essence. The pacing, the scenes and the emotions portrayed throughout are very well done. Cant recommend enough.

    Oh look, he's doing the thing where he's acting edgy by not giving a super popular VN a 5-star rating!

    Anyways... Cringy jokes aside, there is a lot of potential with this VN, but much like Mass Effect 2 there is a hyper fixation on introducing new characters, and new LIs in some cases. To avoid derailing into a tangent I'll post my full thoughts in a "good" and "bad" list.

    Good
    • Each LI is given some kind of background and character arc that slowly develops over the span of each chapter.
    • The dev seems to at least listen to some feedback (or something along those lines) as there are vast improvements to gameplay with each new chapter (i.e. navmap for sandbox sections).
    • Vastly improved textures in later chapters (goodbye glassy eyes...).
    • Interesting mini-games via an in-game phone.
    • Good quality animations (aside from the first season being mediocre).
    • Ample amount of lewd content fairly early on.
    • Lots of varied content each update.
    • Seamless implementation of UI elements, such as the MC's phone.
    • Varied and unique soundtrack with a built in music player (this honestly was my favorite aspect).

    Bad
    • Lack of any coherent overarching plot.
    • Railroading the audience into play the larger "mini-games" in order to achieve the "best" outcome.
    • Convoluted sandbox sections that lacked any type of navmap in the earlier chapters.
    • Contrivance of railroading the player into a monogamous relationships for three (3) of the main LIs (if you're going to go this route, at least pace it out better rather than having it "feel" like some last minute decision...).
    • Anti-cheat/Anti-tamper code. Seriously dude, it's an AVN built in Ren'Py that has a dev console override, stop breaking people's saves.
    • Blatant favoritism with the writing for ALL of Jill's content.
    • Hardly any consequences for favoring DIK/CHICK decisions (choosing "DIK" closes Jill's route as a "primary" consequence...).
    • Overabundance of side characters introduced each chapter, many of which aren't seen again for quite awhile.

    Summary
    I'll try to keep this section short to tie together my thoughts...

    BaDIK has built a cult-like following with an iron-grip on the AVN genre. While most people will point to Doki Doki Literature club as the pioneer of VN's, BaDIK can be credited with bring in a much larger audience the niche AVN genre.

    However, the high praise for the game stems from very similar reasoning that most BioWare fans claim ME2 was the pinnacle of the ME trilogy: the character arcs are incredibly well-written. DPC doesn't seem to have any clear idea on which direction the plot is going, much less what it even is in the first place. After the initial allure of pursuing specific LIs wears of I'm left wondering, "What's the point of this story anyways?".

    A more egregious action is the apparent focus on adding MORE characters despite the game already have one of the largest casts in the AVN space as it stands. There have been moments where a side character comes back chapters later and I'm left surprised as to who they are despite the MC clearly remembering them in detail. The cast of side LIs is also made redundant because you're locked in to a specific path in Chapter 8, which blocks ALL lewd content with EVERY OTHER CHARACTER.



    Considering how profitable this AVN is for DPC I honestly doubt he'll do anything to improve the overall story. However, like all good things in life must come to an end, so too will DPC's insane income if no real change occurs. I could always be wrong of course, but we've seen titans fall before, and DPC is not a god amongst men.

    Rewd Verylewd

    My opinion only for the first episode (couldn't force myself to play more than that):
    Can't believe this game has so many 5-star reviews, if it was on a different site I'd say it was voted up by bots or something. Heavy spoilers for Ep. 1 ahead.
    Before I start complaining about the specifics, a quick general review : the 3D renders are very good, the music is good, the gameplay is mostly a VN with some annoying minigames and point-and-click style segments.
    You get warned at the very beginning that this game might make you feel angry. I've naively assumed that meant unfair situations or the antagonists being real dicks (diks). Nope. What infuriated me was the MC. At every step he behaves like an insane person and because the EP. 1 is pure railroading (I went back and replayed with the opposite choices, got the exact same result) all the "choices" are just meaningless options that don't change anything.
    The MC knows martial arts, can play a guitar, is good looking (some people even compare him to a jock) and he says he's used to being bullied!? After getting led-on by a girl he had a crush on she reveals that she has a boyfriend and that what she did hanging out with MC was wrong; MC continues to try and get together with her like nothing happened. After arguing with some jocks the MC is given a wedgie by one of them and just accepts it, like any person with some martial training would. MC's treasured guitar gets stolen from his room and all he does is tell the receptionist that he had a "falling out" with his roommate, without reporting the theft to the campus security or the police. Even if the MC beats up the roommate for letting someone steal the guitar, the MC is the one to leave and look for a new place to stay instead of kicking out the shitty roommate. When caught stealing panties from the girl dorm, the trained fighter MC gets overpowered and thrown out naked by two girls. Later, after being tasered, kidnapped and assaulted for the initiation for the frat-house that tricked and humiliated the MC, he just accepts it and joins the fraternity!?
    So far the only LIs in the game are the girls MC interacted the least so they didn't fuck him over yet. One LI led him on even though she "has a boyfriend", another LI makes the MC do her some favors after learning that she's been given some of his stolen things, and the third LI rapes, tasers and helps kidnap the MC in his sleep (if you don't think that's rape, consider the situation where a guy gets on top of a sleeping girl, grinds on her, and tasers her when she starts to do anything; just because the sexes are swapped, doesn't make it less of a rape).
    After the first episode the most appealing LI options are the rich girl who pities the MC and the librarian who seems to hate him. I guess there would be other girls later on, but if this is any indication of how they're written, I'll pass.
    I suppose this game has some appeal for players with a humiliation fetish, just didn't expect such a game have a 4+ star rating. That, or people just skip all dialog to look at the renders.

    Great game. One of the few games out here that isn't about a hung hero with some bogus mind control powers or a demon friend. The story is pretty good, mainly thanks to the characters. It makes you want to play it and it's actually fun AND sexy at the same time. Minigames are skippable from the get-go go so that is a big plus, no mandatory grinding minigames for money, etc.
    One of the top games on this site, and my personal favorite when it comes to 3DCG.

    I'll start my review with a general feeling from playing this game: it's pretty fucking good. And i say that after playing at least a half hundred AVNs, so my standards for a good AVN are high. BaDIK was actually the very first AVN i've played and was the reason i got hooked up to AVNs.

    Story:
    A bit slow at the beginning but picks up the pace rather quick and stays fun and entertaining, unlike some titles that start out great but losing in quality after a couple of updates. It's a basic college drama, but wrapped up in an interesting form. The choices are actually matter here, and i especially like that some of them will bite you in the ass way, way later. For example, getting in an affair with a certain teacher and then gettings close to a certain girl which turns out to be the teacher's relative. You can guess pretty well how this can backfire. I feel like there's a greater mystery involving drugs and drug dealers, the glimpses of which you can witness throughout the game, specifically interacting with Quinn. The most obvious one is at the end of the current version, which i won't spoil here.

    I liked how the game handles your general attitude without overdoing it. DIK or Chick, it's not game-changing but some interactions are clearly made to match your DIK or Chick affinity, like flipping off Jocks after the fight with a big dude, and just walking away after the same fight if you're Chick. Some characters can comment on your affinity, like when Bella is talking to Sage. Sage says that MC is a great guy and Bella says: - "Are we talking about the same person?" (DIK) or "I see" (Chick). You're getting pretty mean dialogue lines if you're a DIK, while Chick is nicer to people (i guess, i'm a DIK all the way and only played DIK routes cause i'm kind of an ass myself xd). Humor in this game is great, i'm not an easy person to get laughing but some jokes were right up my alley.

    Graphics, animations, performance, sound:
    Are great, all of them. I don't know if the game was reworked at some point (pretty sure it was not), but even the first builds were awesome. Hell, even some 2022+ released games suck ass in comparison to the beginning of the s1. The only thing that might be annoying is occasional lag spikes during auto saves, but it's tolerable. Sex scenes are top tier, one of the best in the AVN industry, and gets better and better with each update.
    I don't play AVNs with sound but first time i've played BaDIK i've been playing with it, and it's great. Added some tracks in my playlist.

    Gameplay:
    Is good. Mini-games are fun, free-roam can be a bit annoying at times but it gets better with the fast-travel implementation, which is not available until like s1ep5 or so. Some management here and there, which i find rather annoying and tedious most of the times, mostly because it's done bad. Not the case here, i even liked the party management in s2. Some mini-games have funny consequences, like aiming the ball at Tybalt (fucking bitch) and knocking his teeth out. I genuinely laughed doing that. Excuse me if that part wasn't a part of a mini-game, it's been some time since i played s1 so i don't remember everything.

    Characters:
    Are interesting, almost all of them.
    One of the best MCs i've seen so far. Not creepy fuck but actually thinking human being. He's not perfect in any way, has a footlong dick (of course) and a dumbass at times, but he's being reasonable, admits his mistakes (most of them anyway) and you can shape his behavior quite a bit.
    Sage is my personal favorite, she's fucking great. Easygoing and fun, supportive when necessary, sexy, smart and... well fuck, she's a perfect girlfriend, especially for a DIK affinity. She likes bad boys. And a redhead, love me some redheads.
    Bella is my second fav, the Ice Queen. Kinda has a stick up her ass but getting close to her is an interesting experience. That kind of a woman is a partner for life. She's extremely smart, attentive and actually kind to people she cares about.
    Side girls are also pretty damn great. Lily, Nicole, Rio (my favorite side girl), Cammy, Quinn (second fav), Sandy. They all fun in their own ways and get enough screen time so the solo path is actually enjoyable. Unfortunately some side girls are getting tossed away, Cathy for example. I liked her really. More than i liked Jade tbh.
    The not-so-fun girls are Josy-Maya and Jill. They're just too vanilla for my taste, nothing really special about them, which isn't bad, just not for me.
    I kinda wish that there was an option to avoid Josy and Maya but they're quite important for the story even if not on their path, so i'm not complaining. What i didn't like about Maya is her using MC, dry humping him and knocking him out with a fucking taser. C'mon dude, that shit ain't cool, imagine if roles were reversed, a guy knocking out a girl with a taser after dry humping her. Really creepy shit. I know she was kinda forced to do that but damn girl, use your fucking brain for once. MC is not a saint either, dating and possibly fucking a girl (Josy) knowing she kinda has someone already but this horse crap Maya pulled off is too much.
    As for Jill... well, i've got nothing to say really, she's just too vanilla. And going behind MC's back telling that he was bullied when MC didn't ask her for it is not cool. She clearly doesn't know a phrase "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
    All the DIKs are cool dudes, i don't even have anyone i dislike, not even Tommy. He's a dick ofc, but he's funny. Derek is like a goofy brother, i like him, good friend altho with a loosy mouth when drunk.

    Conclusion:
    Great, cool, fun, awesome and excellent. Give it a go if you haven't already (heretic). Honestly 5/5 in my book, and while nothing is perfect, this one is as close to being perfect as possible. The only downside is a long ass wait for another update, but i rather wait a year for a juicy refined update than getting half-assed 200-500 render long pieces every few months.

    Yes, the dev may be took too long to release each of episodes but:
    "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad".

    December release incoming.

    never made a review and though I would never do 1.
    For me adult games where always just a way for me to jerk off to some pretty lady and maybe catch a bit of the story but man this game made me really invested in the story and even after I got into a relationship I still wanted to play this game even if its just for the story. Even if I would try really hard I could not find a single bad thing about this game.

    there is not a single VN that is in the same level as this game, truly a masterpiece. Amazing visuals, each episode getting better, incredibly and engaging story, charismatic characters. I've been playing it since episode 3(?) i think and for sure the best vn I ever played

    I hate what this game did to me. Now everytime i play a game i say "Its good but its not BaD."

    Visuals 10/10
    Gameplay 10/10
    Story 10000/10

    Its hard to find anything bad about this game. Its the perfect game.

    The only downside of this game is the long wait for updates. But by the amount and quality of the content comming out its easy forgiven.

    Im not saying anything about the story in my review because i want people to go in blind and just enjoy the ride.

    Keep it up PinkCake.

    Have a good one. And lads, take a break from fapping once in a while.

    This game is massive. There is so much you can do, from the gameplay to the choices you get to make. There are so many choices you can make with many of them affecting how people view you and your overall personality. Additionally, there's free roam events where you get to explore the building. On top of that, there's texting, social media, dating app, mini games, etc. It will definitely take some time to complete. That doesn't even scratch the surface of what the developer has added. There's entire game systems in this game as well.

    The story is very long, so you'll get to enjoy the game longer. A lot of the choices you make affects things in the future, whether it is small or big. The paths with each of the girls is very extensive and there's even a solo path. Choices you make in Episode 1 can affect Episode 6, for example. Also, the story is very engaging to me. I'm always left with a "dang it, now I have to wait a couple months to see what happens next - I need to know what happens next".

    The renders are high quality and there's a lot of animated renders in there as well that doesn't just stop at looking a girl up and down.

    As for the adult content: The sex scenes have many different choices that you can make, with angles and positions. Because of the college theme of this game, you can't go too far without a potential option to sex someone up. Additionally, there is a lot of random nudity in this game. You'll be carrying a girl just to help her out and her breast will be randomly hanging out.

    The affinity system is pretty nice and actually extends past choices. Even some of the dialogue is different. I went back and changed my affinity so I can see the outcome of a certain choice and was treated to different dialog in a completely unrelated scene. This attention to detail is also what helps make this game replayable.

    Overall, this is one of my favorite visual novel games. The replayability is very high, there's so much to do, so many choices to make, and a fun, engaging story. Honestly, with how much you can do and how different things can turn out, it could easily be argued that calling it a visual novel is very reductive.

    I would never have thought that a game from this genre would make me think about my life, about my actions, about the reasons for where I ended up now (everything is very bad).

    I play computer games for about 20 years, if not more. No game even came close to giving such a number of emotions, from grief to laughter, from crying to tears of happiness. As the game progressed, I began to notice that even static pictures are not so static (as if the brain was completing the drawing what I see, well, or I'm already going crazy). During this game, I never jerked off even though I came to this genre primarily for this. After the last scene in episode 8 (with Jill, around episode 2 I started acting the way I would like to behave in real life) I decided it was time to stop watching porn. This addiction can be compared to alcohol, smoking and drugs and I don’t need it anymore.

    For me personally, this is not just a game, but art. I can't believe that one person can do this (in a good way).

    Story: 10/10
    Sound: 10/10 (It turns out that songs by not particularly unknown artists can be at the level of a trend, some even surpass them.
    Playability: 8/10 (Free roams and finding renders becomes boring at some point, especially when one location needs to be rechecked more than once during one big event)
    Amount of content: 10/10 (I want more, but I know that it will affect the quality)
    Writing: 10/10 (I am not strong in English, but I almost always manage to understand the meaning of what is written since there is not much slang. It's very easy to read and feels completely immersive.
    Animations: Starting from 7 ending with 10 (Gradually playing the game, the progression in animations and their quality is visible to the naked eye)

    I hope my review will not be deleted due to a lot of feelings. I read the review rules after writing them, and then started evaluating aspects of the game according to the rules :) I just don't want to use Backspace button anymore after I opened my soul.

    Thanks for reading my thoughts (ramblings) and sorry in advance for my English.
