The way I’ve always looked at the game is that it isn’t
our story. It’s the mc’s story.
We don’t get to fully control him or his responses to situations, we mostly only
influence him from time-to-time.
At his core, the mc is a nice guy who is often introspective and sensitive but he’s also keen to help people in trouble.
This is inherent in his upbringing, values that are clearly passed on to him by his dad.
Throughout his story, we get to play the little devil or angel on his shoulder, prompting him to go down one path or the other.
Actually, rather than a devil or angel,
perhaps we get to play as his dick. Sending signals to his brain, trying to override intelligence at the mere thought of sex.
That puts a more literal spin on the title, “Being a DIK”.
The biggest mistake people make when playing this game is when don’t agree with how the mc reacts, they complain the story isn’t representing their expectations.
But that’s because the story isn’t theirs.
The mc’s responses are often quite consistent. He gets crushes quickly. He gets hurt easily. He panics often. He second guesses himself occasionally.
But he is evolving.
In the more recent episodes he has been considering the repercussions of his decisions.
Once again, as his dick, weget to try to override these thoughts, telling him it’s ok to keep fucking around, but that depends on how the mc has evolved.
As a Chick, the mc isn’t being lead by his dick so much anymore. If M&J or Jill are a branching option, you can’t even select to stay single and keep playing the field.
As a DIK, the mc can forgo Bella or Sage and keep fooling around with other girls.
It makes sense, but only if we assume the mc’s mindset rather than our own, and stop thinking we are in full control of the mc.
