VN - Ren'Py - Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

I honestly kept passing this one for the longest time because I just felt like it would be lame. I think I played the first chapter eons ago and thought the whole 'fraternity' thing was boring and dumb, but after buckling down it surprised me with how deep some of the characters are. Not ALL of them, and I hate some of the choices you have to make, but it's still interesting enough.

My only real complaint is that the first 8-9 chapters were fine, but the mini-game shift in the newer chapters is just frustrating as fuck. I don't mind mini-games for the most part, it's a nice break in the monotony of reading nonstop, but the new math / party planning ones are so frustratingly complex and dumb.

And I get it, the creator obviously doesn't want this to JUST be a fapping game, and I think they've sufficiently fleshed it out into a full VN, but the math game in particular has just made me almost give up.

All in all the story itself is very interesting, enough that I skip through the lew bits to get to the next part of it, and while some of the girls have a very 'samey' look to them most are unique enough to be engaging and memorable. Some of my favorites are Sally, Riona and Isabella.

I will say, however, not a big fan of the Zoey return. I feel like the brief bit we got about her from the MC isn't enough to really give a shit about her when she comes back, and I kinda just hope she takes a hint and leaves the story, at least in my playthrough.

EDIT: Okay, I take what I said about Zoey back. >.> She grew on me pretty fast, and the whole 'rekindled love' angle with her and MC is now one of my favorite paths.

hats off to DrPinkCake. It really is a visual novel, with a great minigame, management. Story is the main reason i play this game, story so far so engaging. Can't wait for the next update until this game finished. Thank you for making this game

This game has very good scenes, an exciting story, and many branching paths. Each girl is a unique character with their own interests and issues. How the girls interact with you is dependent on a variety of choices and alignment. (DIK being preferred for obvious reasons) TLDR : Bottled Chaos with Lewd and Wholesome Moments

[v0.11.1]

So, first time I played blindly, I chose the most intriguing character at the time, which was Isabella, with a DIK affinity but the game didn't really click for me, would rate it 4/5. After a year, more or less, I replayed the entire thing, from E1, settled to play a Chick affinity and going on Maya and Josy route, have to say: Amazing!

I know people usually advise to play things blindly, your own choices and such, but I digress, having a little idea of what you're doing makes the game works much more.

Anyway, for the review: Story: interesting enough, there's some intrigue here and there, unforeseen developments and such, would rate almost a 5/5.
Visuals: 5/5, the renders are good, animations are simple, but the girls all look authentic. Maybe the Mc has a strange face, but it doesn't really matter.
Gameplay: 5+/5The best for sure, there a nice amount of everything for a real game: point and click (free roam), choices (like any VN), some puzzles (math science tests, and on the phone) a little turn based combat (so far, totally optional), and management (fixing the frats house, setting up parties, etc).

Highly recommend.

The most popular and highly rated AVN - and rightfully so. There isn't any other game like this one and it really does deserve all the praise. The characters are all loveable, great cast of LIs, story is engaging, music is a banger, this is possibly one of the most replayable games I've ever played. I only wish for the epilogue and endings to be as densely packed and intriguing as the rest of the episodes

Clearly the best porn game.
A wide variety of body types/ethnicities, clear storylines, and well-developed secondary characters.
The graphics are perfect and well animated, the story is coherent and engaging.
The game can be replayed several times without ever feeling like you're experiencing the same thing over and over again.

I know I’m late to the party, but wow—this was absolutely incredible. I just finished it up to the latest update, and I can proudly say it’s easily in my top 3 in terms of pure satisfaction. I’ve seen this game around for years, but every time I thought about playing it, I stopped because I assumed it was an open-world game (especially since the VN tag wasn’t there back then). Last month, I finally gave it a real try—and honestly, the satisfaction has been unmatched. The multiple paths with different characters, each explored in such detail, was something I truly didn’t expect, and it blew me away. sad i have wait a year for the next update but i get why it takes long..

It was a nice game and especially concept, a story that keeps it balanced. I enjoyed it with mods like I prefer to keep in control but I bet its more fun without walkthroughs but I like it with mods that guide me.

Wow, everyone talks about Eternum (which is great for fantasy) but this (i'm somewhat through the first season {chapter 4} ) is so real. I'm struggling to see how it can drag me in so deep. I guess it's the author's imagination and great writing but I have to applaud it. I had (I thought) some great idea's for a story and characters, but this has made me re-think the whole idea of making my own story. I would/will fall short. I'm from the UK... we don't do shit like donating cash to youtube/patreon etc... but I can't deny I would pay to see this continue as far as possible if the author (and honestly that's what you are.. you are not just an NSFW writer.. ) has idea's on keeping this moving. top rating should have an extra button for outstanding contribution to this format, much love to the author and graphics are top notch too, not to mention the audio . WOW to you all xx

You wouldn't believe me if I told you this was the same dev that created Acting lessons! And they couldn't be further on the rating scale from each other.

Dr pinkcake has nailed down the lewdness and a fantastic storyline, my thoughts (this is based on season 1 and season 2)

The story: The story is fantastic with many, many choices to make, juggling with the mutiple women and otherchoice is just fantastic

The writing: Fantastic writing. This is how you write a VN

The renders: Amazing built in feature for renders and lots of renders to collect (I didn't collect them all)

The models: Gorgeous and sexy models

To summarise: This is probably the second best game i've played (second to midnight paradise) I'm looking forward to playing season 3, this'll be updated when season 3 ends

Hands down one of the best lewd VNs I've had the opportunity to play. The character writing is fantastic, the mechanics are polished and the visuals are stunning. Please give DrPinkCake your support on Steam or Patreon.

I don't really like games where you have to follow several routes to get all the content in the game, which is why I don't give it five stars.

However, this is certainly the game with the best models, animations and stories I've ever played. I love the creampie scenes.

That's why I highly recommend this game.

This is much more than a simple porn game. It has such great story telling that you think this could happen somewhere, every character has so much depth in them that they almost seem real. This is my favorite novel of all time with just how much passion was put into it. Also Bella deserves the world!

This game is an absolute master piece, I just finished season 2 and I just can't get enough !
This game is actually really vanilla compared to what I usually play and I still love it so much !
The game obviously look really good, but to me 2 things stand out in this game (in a good way) :
- The game is really polished, I mean that nothing feels janky or wrong, the gameplay loop feels good it's easy to navigate menus etc...
- The story and characters are just perfect, I'm so invested in them, I was actually losing my mind when deciding which girl to date.

So in conclusion, easily top 3 Lewd game I've played if you haven't played it get to it !

Its probably time I wrote this review after I spent more than 200 hours in it.
First of all I am gonna recommend to not play with mini-games. Its flat out worse game with it than without it.
Last time I played it was with mini games and I felt like the magic was gone.

Its really not, its just suffocated by so many mini-games that completely shatter any kind of pacing S3 has.

Its still has among the best writing in AVNs, some of the best models, flat out best music and characters in any avn. The only one that comes close is Eternum, and even that one doesnt catch it with its music selection.

Is it true 5/5 ? No. But its goddamn close. Very few games will leave you empty, or wanting to have more content. There are like 5 games in my life that did this. Eternum , another one is Witcher 3, Mass effect (original trilogy) and CP2077 - if that is not high praise then I dont know what is.

I hate to say this but however promising the story may be Being a DIK falls flat within later episodes and seasons. Especially with the mini games.

The first few episodes are fine as the mini games are fairly simple and the story is entertaining enough but problems arise sometime around when a new character called is introduced.

The thing is throughout the game you'll have to complete a set of mini games especially in between some scenes. This is done way too often.

These mini games earn you some cool renders which is fine but what isn't fine is the mini games being necessary for everything like money and reputation within the story.

Although some can be fun this can really take away from the immersion and distract you from the story if you have an especially long mini game.

The free roam is rather difficult as well since the place is so big you get lost easily.

In short: This game seems more about hard work in mini games than a VN. It's really disappointing as it seems that the game's story/routes are legitimately interesting. It's just plagued by unnecessary features.

Excellent story and character development (both PC and NPCs). Funny, emotional, silly and serious throughout. The editing is done with a great sense of timing. You can see the author coming to grips with the tools at his disposal and mastering the narrative and cinematic experiences.
Plenty of choices to be made to have the relationship(s) you want, with very few short branches leading nowhere (for now?).
Gameplay is never repetitive (except for the optional mobile games), with new concept interspersed at regular interval.

The characters are genuinely well-written. Some scenes are hilarious, others are emotional, and a few hit way harder than you'd expect from a game like this.


The visuals are super high quality — easily some of the best in adult games.


Music slaps. No joke, the soundtrack adds a ton of mood.


It's not just click-through reading — there are mini-games, stats, even a bit of resource management.

This game is a masterpiece love it too much, I loved all the characters, well what to say of them all seemed very charismatic, endearing and memorable all Dicks and Hots, everyone has their own as each one is so different from the other and it is made to highlight them by making them that it is impossible not laughing, angry and even becoming sad, dialogues are precious, interactions with the characters, the romance with Jill seems to me something of the most romantic that I have never seen in my life, and the other girls do not stay behind. I love as really if the decisions you make as dialogues, scenes, how your relationship with some girls have repercussions, I also loved all the interactions you can have to have the cell phone and its mini -games, your twitter all this seems to me a great sample of dedication and love for the game. And not to mention the scenes of the game, the best scenes that I have seen in this type of games
Nothing more to say part of what has already been said. Masterpiece. I love it completely and I recommend it 100 percent. Also sorry for my bad English it is not my native language
