About the Game
A young man from a low-income family moves away from his widowed father and his summer love to attend college at Burgmeister & Royce. As he is cast into freshman life and persuaded to join the up-and-coming fraternity Delta Iota Kappa, he'll be exposed to a new world filled with conflicts, alcohol, drugs and sex.
Being a DIK is a choice-driven adult Visual Novel (VN).
In this game, you play as a young male attending college, and the choices you make will affect the characters around you and shape your character and adventure.
Will you choose to play as a nice, caring and romantic guy or as someone more straightforward and daring?
The girls in the game have different values and may or may not be attracted to you based on your choices. Can you resist the temptations along the way to get the girl of your dreams or will you relent and just...experiment? Hey, it's college, after all!
The game is a Visual Novel and it's made more interactive through optional mini-games and free-roam events where you can explore the current environment. You can purchase boosters, cheats and skills to make the mini-games easier to pass and find hidden items that unlock special lewd artwork and more.
Being a DIK Season 1 includes Episodes 1-4:
Season 1 is packed with 361 animated scenes and over 8000 images.
You can expect an 8-12 hour game that you can replay numerous times to experience different paths and girls.
Being a DIK: Season 2, and future seasons, will continue the story and be released and sold separately as DLC.

The development of the second season of Being a DIK just hit 75% completion.
The second season will be bigger than Season 1 and include four brand new episodes.
So far, with one episode left to develop before I can release it on Steam, 566 animated scenes and over 9700 images have been produced for the second season.
This means that Season 2 is already bigger than Season 1, so you can expect plenty of content.
Before release, there will be a store page for the DLC where you can wishlist the game.
I don't have any ETA when the Steam release is.
The timeframe depends on how the development of the final episode of the season fares.
I have uploaded a patch for Being a DIK - Season 1 to Steam.
Here are the patch notes:
Thank you for your support!

Today a patch launched for Being a DIK - Season 1.
I don't want to update the game too often since there's a risk that some old saves become incompatible with every patch.
That's sadly how the RenPy engine works with save files. I hope that too many aren't affected by this and if you experience any issue loading an old save, try clicking Ignore or Rollback a few times and see if it pops back into gear.
This patch brings fixes and improvements to the game. The most noteworthy fix is that the Gallery counter, which in some cases made players miss the gallery achievement, has been fixed.
Let me know in the discussion forum if you need any assistance.
On a further note, the development of Season 2 is approximately 25% completed.
A huge thanks for your support!
Best regards
