Being a DIK - Season 1

I'm not sure what I expected from these kinds of games, other than the nudez, however it's apparent that somewhere in between Acting Lessons and Being a DIK, the developer became even more misogynistic and dour toward unconventional, or even real, women. There are still some truly touching moments in an otherwise comedic and dysmorphic hellscape of modern day ideas about beauty and gender roles. It's continuously engaging, funny, and poignant at times, but also deeply uncomfortable when you can clearly gauge the dev's personal feelings toward important and necessary topics of discussion like feminism and gender equality. And please, for the love of all that's holy, stop with the watermelon boobies and football goal hips. It's weird.

I love how the story is pretty simple yet so inticing. How you spend more time involved with the experience as a whole than just in it for the adult themes. All in all, Pretty good.

Came for the nudity, stay for the story

An Adult Game shouldnt have ended up as one of my favourite games of all time, but it has.

Having played Acting Lessons (AL), I was eager to begin Being A Dik (BAD) given how emotionally engaging AL is. DPC didnt disappoint. The story in BAD is incredibly dense, and as you can imagine, the NSFW encounters are aplenty, depending on how you play the game. I'm currently on my second full playthrough, and I've found myself making decisions against my norm to experience more of the story, as your decisions from the get go will begin to shape how the story plays out throughout. Everything from dialogue responses to how other characters percieve your own are decided based on your decisions, making it not only emotionally engaging, but intriguing to figure out how to play to get the girl/s you want. You affinity plays a big role in who actually want to be with you in the end. Your choices carry significant weight, there are no guarantees in this game. Just like with AL, the soundtrack of BAD is absolutely incredible. The music pairings to their corresponding scenes really set the atmosphere and tone, getting you that much more invested. My biggest complaint, is a grand majority of this music isnt found on popular streaming services, making it a bit of a headache to collect and listen to these tracks. Fortunately, a fan run YouTube channel has every song from BAD on it, so it's not hard to find the music once you know which scene it relates to. At the time of writing this, only Seasons 1 & 2 are available of GoG, and I played through them all in about 18-20 hours for my first play through. Downside, is S3 is still in dev, and who knows when it will come out to continue the story. Given how Season 2 ends, I know for a fact I will be on the lookout for Season 3, I've even considered becoming a Patron of DPC to shorten the wait that much more, but if there was a point to end on, it would be not to let this experience pass you by. Its one of the best VN games out there, and given how its been, I can only imagine it getting better as more DLCs are released.
