Being a DIK - Season 1

Since all these losers like to complain about a game they've never played, and never will play, I'll add my bit. Piss off, puritans. Now, as for the game, it's easily one of the most well written stories I've seen in any VN. The replayability is insane if you are a completionist, and the twists & turns are terrific. Worth every penny.

This game is a great visual novel, you might buy this for the erotic stuff and nice girls but in the end you will find a great story, some amazing and likeable characters, the mini games are fun and there are a lot of choices, and the music are awesome (lot of rock). I played this season 1 and I didn't see the time pass. The nice part is the humour, the game has a lot of funny dialogues or scenes, like for exemple the sex/gender studies class is a lot of laugh, Derek is also a crazy character. For the story you re a student who's coming to college for his 1st year, and you re going to meet a lot of different people with their own (and well done) stories, the main character is going to try to join a fraternity called the DIK and joinging them won't be easy. Of course there a some sex scenes in the game, but they are nice (I mean you won't find any weird stuff) and some are even very romantic.

First: This series has three planned seasons. I would recommend planning on purchasing season 1 and 2. S2 has a satisfying conclusion that won't leave you hanging too much in terms of resolutions, while S1 may feel incomplete. S3 is in the works. Graphic Novels are choose-your-own-adventure games where choices may matter. In the case of this game, choices absolutely do matter, and you can have different experiences and viewpoints depending on the choices you make. This is not a harem game, but you do have time to explore and have fun before needing to figure you what you want. The overall writing is pretty good, although the erotic writing, is more C grade. Sometimes the MC will make you want to smack MC for his stupidity, but things are funny, and taking risks can be rewarding. If not, you can back up a bit, or reload from a save. H-Scenes are okay in S1 and really start to improve in S2 with some awesome scenes. I play for a mix of story and H. If you're about the H, go D*K. You'll get more. Like some H with romance, go CHIC. H-scenes have some animation and there are also a number of stills. The further into the story, the more you get. The game allows you to be a D*K (F everything) and still establish a relationship with one of the characters. Being a CHIK can lead to some sweet relationships or a Fem Dom relationship. There's the freedom to fool around at the start, but eventually, that can have a negative impact on the relationships you're attempting to build. Main story: Dude is a poor loser who goes off to college and needs a place to stay, for reasons. This leads to attempting to get into a fraternity and it's about the people and adventures had along the way. Bang for the buck, the price may seem high for a graphic novel (chapter 2), but there is a lot of content and value in replaying. Recommend going full dik or chic. There is currently no reward for playing the middle ground and you miss some minor content.

I've gone through a number of visual novels from White Wolf and other fantasy adventures with multiple endings based on user choices, but this one is the best, notwithstanding the fact that it is an "adult" novel because of sexual content. The character development is far more advanced than any visual novel or video game available with the possible exception of some of the better role playing titles developed by Bioware (i.e. Baldur's Gate II, Mass Effect, etc...). Though it does make an effort to be sensitive to some gender issues, it still reinforces many stereotypes and is directed firmly towards a younger male audience.

If the Hallmark Channel made romantic movies for guys, this would be it.
