Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) | comment |
Being A DIK (stylized as Being A ΔΙΚ) is an episodic Dating Sim adult visual novel developed in Ren'Py by solo developer DrPinkCake, creator of Acting Lessons. It is available on Steam, GOG and DrPinkCake's Patreon.The game follows you (referred to as the Main Character or Tremolo), a young man fresh out of high school who lives with his single father after his mother's death during childbirth. The story begins in the closing days of summer, where you are finishing up your part-time job and hoping to get accepted into Burgmeister and Royce, a nearby university. But you’re also coming to terms with leaving your summer love and your dad alone in your small hometown.After saying your goodbyes, you arrive for your first day in college, and you can already tell it’ll be an interesting experience. With the school’s smaller size and active Greek Life organizations, social standing seems more important here than at most universities. But you’re here to study rather than party and get in trouble.Until you start having problems with your aggravating roommate, Troy, which leads to him kicking you out of the room in the middle of the night. Unable to secure a place to sleep, you decide to try your luck with the university’s fraternities. But the nerdy Tri-Betas don’t have a house, you’re far too “low-class� to join the preppy Alpha Nu Omegas, and the jock Tri-Alphas have hated your guts since you walked in, which leaves you with only one choice; the Delta Iota Kappas, otherwise known as the DIKs.Although you don’t end up staying with them that night, you do get a foot in the door to become part of their inner circle. From here, how you approach college is up to you. Will you stay calm, collected, and caring, or will you embrace being a DIK? Either way, it’s bound to be a long, crazy ride. Welcome to Burgmeister and Royce. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_14180452 | comment |
Instantly Proven Wrong: Near the end of the tour in Episode 1, Cathy talks about how students can find their way around the main building using the maps on the walls (which the MC already found to be useless when he got lost, leading to him meeting Maya) and how the student body is full of helpful students...right before she is beaned in the face by a soda can courtesy of Dawe. | |

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_16ddefda | comment |
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: The crux of several of the shenanigans the MC gets caught up in throughout the game. This is most clear during the "date" with Isabella in Episode 2, which turns into a complete disaster because the DIKs force him to drink a large amount of beer due to him going home during his first weekend at B&R: He shows up to the dinner so sloshed that he collapses on the sidewalk outside the restaurant, and Isabella has to drag him to her house to sober him up. This can get even worse if the player explores her house while drunk: Tremolo tilts every painting in her house (while drunk, he thinks he's straightening them), pulls down her antique African ceremonial mask, and moves every plant to block the door of the study because he thinks that a mannequin is an intruder. Texting in this state also leads to him sending gibberish to multiple people, and his one correctly worded message, an attempt to flirt with Josy, goes wrong when it is accidentally sent to Neil. | |

Relationship Values | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_19a781f | comment |
Relationship Values: The game mostly follows the typical "relationship points" system for gaining or losing favour with each of the girls (as well as with factions such as the DIKs, the tri-betas, and the HOTs). However, getting into a relationship with a girl typically requires a certain player affinity separate from their relationship score, with some relationships having more or less content for players of a certain affinity (as described in Karma Meter). Josy is relatively affinity-neutral, as long as the player isn't too much of a sleaze like Steve. While you cannot be in a relationship with her and Maya if you have DIK affinity, she does seem to still be interested in you, causing a great deal of internal conflict. Maya favours the MC with a CHICK affinity. You can have, at worst, neutral affinity if you want her and Josy to let you be a part of the throuple in Episode 4. Sage can be romanced at any affinity, but seems to prefer players with DIK affinity. Isabella can also be romanced at any affinity, but some significant DIK-affinity choices affect her perception of you quite negatively (including some choices that can have her outright end her relationship with you) and she does have more dialogue with CHICK-affinity players. Jill can initially be romanced at any affinity, but CHICK-affinity choices are required for further progress, and she will reject a MC with DIK affinity if pursued at the end of Episode 8. | |

Daddy's Girl | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_19fe3478 | comment |
Josy's parents are divorced after Pete cheated on her mother with Monica, and although she is very much Daddy's Girl, she does not get along with Monica at all; her relationship with her step-brother Tommy is, unsurprisingly, not great. Her relationship with her mother isn't much better; Episode 9 reveals that her mother buries herself in work and her new partner blames Josy for not spending enough time with her. | |

The Beard | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_1b596e24 | comment |
If you decide to give Sage guitar lessons, then while approaching her room in Episode 3, the MC hears her having an argument with Chad after his suspension from the tri-Alphas, where he begs her to talk to "them". When she says that she will try, she goes to kiss him, only to receive a peck on the forehead. This incenses her and she angrily calls him out on not fulfilling her physical needs, dismissing his excuse of steroid use causing impotency (especially given that she has just confirmed that he is cheating on her). She talks about how Dawe and Arieth still have sex, and Chad reveals that Dawe uses the birth control pill as a cheaper way to stimulate muscle growth, before stating that he doesn't even want to stay with Sage, looking to move into a dorm instead. All of this comes back later: Chad is trying to get Sage to talk to her parents Jade and Stephen, donors to the college who have the influence to reverse his suspension; the fact that he has not been intimate with her for some time and is clearly using his steroid use as an excuse, along with him not even asking to stay with her, foreshadows the reveal of him using Sage as The Beard and not caring for her; and the fact that Dawe uses birth control pills plays a vital role in Arieth getting pregnant in Episode 8. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: A recurring trope, as this is how many of the conflicts in this game occur: Had either Josy or Maya told the MC that they were in a relationship with each other before Josy showed up as Maya's missing roommate, it's likely that he wouldn't have stormed out of Maya's room at the end of Episode 3. That said, they had a very good reason to keep their relationship a secret because of Maya's dad. When the alphas back out of the deal they had with Quinn due to Chad being forced to step down as President, Quinn convinces Sage to set up a party with the preps to earn money. Sage explicitly tells Quinn to let the DIKs know about this, but because she chose not to, the DIKs, who planned to have the HOTs show up for their celebration for the end of Hell Week, end up in a huge mess. They mistakenly believe that the HOTs were at the alphas after contacting Arieth, leading to them throwing the dildos at the alphas' house, who retaliate by utterly demolishing the DIKs' mansion. This results in Tommy's falling out with Quinn and the DIKs not partying with the HOTs until Episode 9. A lot of trouble could have been avoided multiple times if Sage didn't blindly trust Quinn with essentially de facto running the HOTs due to her senior year responsibilities, causing the aforementioned DIKs Hell Week fiasco. In addition, she never denies nor confirms the rumor that HOTs get free tuition, causing Maya to believe Quinn and assume Sage was in on it due to her lacking awareness. This continues to the point where Sage sends Quinn by herself to try and convince Maya to rejoin the HOTs leading to Quinn insulting Maya to her face instead of apologizing. It is pure luck that Sage meets Maya in the library and gets to explain herself, though Sage does go out of her way to talk to both Maya and Josy from then on. In a route-specific example, if the MC is dating Jill and chooses to commit to someone else in Episode 8, he does not tell her and end their relationship until some time before the Halloween party (as seen in the flashback in Episode 9). While this isn't as much of a problem if you commit to the throuple or Sage (apart from the heartbreak inherent to a breakup, obviously), it leads to significant problems if you commit to Isabella: this route has Jill find out about their relationship in the worst way possible, where she visits Bella's house only to see the two of them having sex on the dining table. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_1c6afcc7 | comment |
I'll Tell You When I've Had Enough!: More like "I'll tell you when YOU'VE had enough"; a major part of the first few episodes is the DIKs, mainly Tommy, forcing you to drink excessive amounts of alcohol, especially as punishment for missing the first big weekend at college when you come back from seeing Josy. | |

Childhood Friend Romance: Zoey was the MC's best friend in high school. They started dating shortly before Zoey moved on to become a surfer. "Riding the Waves" shows that their relationship was much closer to Friends with Benefits, though it seems like both of them realised their deeper feelings for each other at the time she left. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_1c96f945 | comment |
Wrong-Name Outburst: The straw that broke Jade and Stephen's marriage, as she tells you in Episode 4 if you accepted her advances beforehand, is that, one day, Stephen returned home from a successful business meeting drunk, took her to bed, and whispered Cathy's name in her ear. This is a somewhat Ambiguous Situation, especially given that Jade never confronted either of them for fear that it was true, given that Cathy is her closest friend. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Several throughout the game, though most of them zig-zag this trope somewhat. Many such pairs seem to have no problem at all fooling around with each other sexually (Camila and Mona, Camila and Riona, especially Sarah and Melanie), but their relationship dynamic with each other is much more akin to a friendship than a romantic relationship. The intended effect of the DIKs' Maggot brother admission process, where the frat will take two pledges, both of whom must work together to finish the pledge board tasks during Hell Week – either both get in, or neither does. | |

Stripperiffic | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_1eb49c19 | comment |
Stripperiffic: All over the place, as expected. Besides the strippers' costumes (unsurprisingly), the most notable example is the HOTs' outfit, which combines a tiny spaghetti-strapped crop top with a very short skirt. Notably, it is lampshaded during the first HOTs party for the new sisters: Josy says that wearing it makes her feel like she's wearing nothing and Camila says that she has to wear it at night to get used to it; hilariously, fellow new sister and professional stripper Lily retorts that she would be fired for being overdressed if she wore something like it to work. It also shows up during the Dungeons and Gremlins game in "True Colors" (though the visuals for that, admittedly, are taking place in the MC's imagination) and the Halloween party in "Vixens". | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: When sneaking around Tybalt's room in Episode 2, checking his bedroom drawers has the MC find a watermelon and an expensive ring; while escaping, Tremolo and Derek also see him stealing a pair of Jill's underwear. Subsequently, if the MC and Sage have sex in Episode 5, the vigorousness of their lovemaking causes the drawers of his bed to open, revealing the underwear mounted onto the watermelon. Not only does Tybalt use the same ring to propose to Jill in Episode 8, but when Jill and Trent barge into his room to confront him over his lies about the "fire" during the Preps' Hell Week party in Episode 10, he is found masturbating using the same watermelon complete with underwear, which has the ring and a picture of Jill taped to it. Neil calls the MC during Cathy's class in Episode 2 to catch up with him, and tells him that he has begun work on renovating a fancy hotel. This becomes relevant in Episode 7 where he uses the furniture and gadgets that the hotel wished to throw away and gives it to the DIKs to help with their repairs of the mansion after it is smashed up in Episode 5. If the MC goes on the picnic date with Jill in Episode 6, he will see her house in the distance. In the end of Episode 8, while reading Lynette's diary, he finds a picture of her with her friends posing in front of the same house, which is highlighted if you have committed to Jill's path in Episode 8. Maya is seen clutching her arm in several scenes and photos, including her high school graduation photo and several scenes in Episode 3 and 7. Specifically, scenes with or immediately after meeting Patrick. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_2534ee67 | comment |
In Medias Res: Several episodes open their present-day post-prologue narrative in the middle of events, before going back closer to the ending of the previous episode. "100%" opens with Derek and the MC chatting in the mall before flashing back to Rusty listing the tasks on the DIKs' pledge board, returning to the mall when the two are planning their Streaking for the pledge board. "Damage Control" opens with the the MC and Derek (the former sporting a black eye) walking into B&R sporting their DIK jackets on the Monday after getting into the fraternity, along with flyers of Cathy's nude photo put up all over campus and Cathy herself calling Rusty into the counselor's office, before flashing back to the events on the weekend leading up to that day. "Calm Before the Snow" opens with Zoey running through the woods at night, cursing as she stops near a tree, before flashing back to the morning after the Halloween party. Later events reveal that this is due to Zoey having received a Love Epiphany at the Thanksgiving party, realizing that she had loved Tremolo throughout their youth before she left for San Diego, which makes her run into the woods to cry. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The exact year the game takes place in is unclear. It’s closer to modern times than, say, the 1970s or 80s, but aspects from the early 2000s coexist with those from the mid-to-late 2010s. On the 2000s side, you have the perceived stigma concerning gay relationships, as pointed out by Josy. Homophobia is much less accepted in the present than it was in the early 2000s/90s. It would be odd for the game to take place in the 2010s, as Josy thinks people would judge her for dating Maya. As a meta example, there’s the heavy emphasis on pop punk/rock music, which is less mainstream nowadays. On the 2010s side, you have the prevalence of sophisticated cell phones, and people text more than they call. You also have widespread social media usage and dating apps. Although the latter two existed in the early 2000s, they weren’t as common as they are now. This can likely be reconciled with Josy and Maya having to put up with Maya and Derek's father affecting Maya's view and experiences in years past affecting Josy's view, and pop punk/rock music being associated with the college comedy genre. | |

Funny Background Event: Relatively common: As Sage announces the scavenger hunt near the HOTs' pool, Arieth is seen out of focus sprinting towards it, only to accidentally slip and land in it in a heap. When Chad hands Dawe the anonymous photos of Arieth having sex with Rusty, Leon and Jamie, and Jacob, Arieth can be seen approaching the group, instantly realizing what's going on with an Oh, Crap! expression, and escaping the Alpha house through the kitchen window. While Sage is talking to Maya in the library about joining the HOTs in "True Colors", the MC continues his work in the library, scolding a random student for placing a book in the wrong place only to realise that it was the right place all along. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_2764d432 | comment |
There’s a bit of inverted Bitch in Sheep's Clothing as she softens up over time, at least towards you. This is most apparent when you smoke weed with her on the roof during the DIKs party in Episode 4. It’s even more apparent in subsequent episodes. Although she doesn’t take your call in Episode 5, she texts you back later and acts nicer than normal or when around other people. She’s still fiery, but it’s obvious that she has a soft spot for you. In Episode 6, you’ll run into her after she gets beat up while trying to carry out a drug deal. You can try to help her, which she will accept if you have DIK affinity. You’ll then hook up with her on the couch in the library that you’re staying in. She leaves right after. Later, though, she’ll text you, having that same softened energy she had in Episode 5. If you call her out on it, she gets fiery again and denies it, but it’s obvious she’s lying. | |

Karma Meter | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_276ad49e | comment |
Karma Meter: The CHICK and DIK score and affinity is this. Though it's not so much as a scale between good and evil, as it's more Noble Male, Roguish Male scale. Notably, there are two scores the game takes into account: the DIK score/status and the affinity. The DIK score is determined by minor dialogue options and actions, and allows player movement along the morality scale; the scale is divided into seven segments determining status, ranging from Massive CHICK for a very low score to Massive DIK for a very high score. This score/status affects the availability of some dialogue options/actions and variations in both non-selectable and selectable dialogue. The affinity (DIK, CHICK, or neutral) is determined by major story choices, which are indicated to the player with the morality scale showing up on screen. These major, typically binary, choices will typically remove a sub-segment on the opposite end of the scale (so too many major DIK choices means the player cannot reach Massive CHICK status, for example). By Episode 8 and potentially as early as the end of Episode 6, the number of major player decisions are calculated and the player's affinity is set in stone as DIK, CHICK, or neutral; having either of the first two affinities auto-selects player decisions for major choices from that point on. This affinity affects some dialogue options and, most notably, affects whether certain main girls will accept you, as described in Relationship Values. | |

What Did I Do Last Night? | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_27ba9b64 | comment |
What Did I Do Last Night?: The MC gets blackout drunk Once a Season, and a good portion of the subsequent discussion relates to him trying to find out what he did that night. The first time, he gets blackout drunk during the DIKs' first visit to the Pink Rose, waking up naked under his bed with no memory of what happened the night before, even more confused when he finds the DIKs laughing at his antics and an angry Stanley refusing to let him into the Pink Rose the next time. It turns out that the MC stripped naked, danced around the stripper pole at the Rose, and had Stanley chase him down while the DIKs chanted "Gay Guard Catcher". The second time, he gets completely sloshed with Derek at the dorm party, leading to him waking up in his underwear besides someone wearing lingerie, leading him to freak out about possibly having slept with someone. No sex occurred, thankfully; the "girl" turns out to be Derek. | |

Finding a Bra in Your Car: Or panties, in this case. If the MC engages in sexual activity with Cathy in Isabella's car while dropping her home in Episode 5, Isabella will find her panties in the glove box. Notably, this will lead to Bella breaking up with you (if you were on her path) when she tells you this after Jill's and Tybalt's tennis date in Episode 7. | |

Easter Egg | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: Several player names can sometimes invoke unusual reactions, including the occasional invoking of the One-Steve Limit. The player prompt to enter their name is in response to Steve calling him "fuckface" and Tremolo protesting that his name isn't fuckface. If you enter the name "fuckface", Tremolo embarrassedly notes that that is in fact his name. If the player has the name "Oscar", then, in Episode 9, he acts confused when Tara talks to her friends about her boyfriend Oscar. If the player has the name "Lucky" and is committed to Jill, then, in Episode 10, when she undresses to get in the bathtub in the Preps' mansion with him, he says that he feels like the luckiest man alive, and she responds "It's easy to feel lucky with a name like yours." | |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: Inverted. Meticulous players (or those using the guide) will earn every money token available. They’ll also realize they can only carry five at once (though this limit can be increased in later episodes, up to $10), so they’ll spend the right amounts at the right times. You can buy several things with your money, but can forgo many, as they just make things easier. Also, you can earn Brawler skill points and certain lewd scenes for free. | |

The dating app Derek installs on your phone is called Swyper, a reference to Tinder. Maya's favourite soda is called "Popsi". Magnar and the other tri-Betas play Dungeons and Gremlins. Sage, Tremolo, and Camila play Dots in Episode 10, a reference to Twister. | |

Three of the five main girls are or become members of Eta Omicron Tau, and most of the rest of the sorority are major characters who are also beautiful and fairly horny (indeed, the MC can sleep with all but two of its fourteen sisters note Team Mom Elena, who is in a committed relationship with DIK Team Dad John Boy, and Arieth, who is otherwise the college bicycle and who averts STD Immunity). | |

Wacky Fratboy Hijinx | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_2dba7575 | comment |
Wacky Fratboy Hijinx: Unsurprisingly given that the game's focus on fraternities. Your initiation into the DIKs centers around this, with the first task being to steal a pair of panties from the HOTs' house. Once the MC and Derek are confirmed to be maggot brothers, they are tasked with having to complete a series of ridiculous, seemingly impossible tasks that are written on a pledge board before the end of Hell Week. For perspective, these include: Drinking 100 beers. Washing cars while wearing speedos. Streaking through the mall while wearing masks. Wearing a helmet with a dildo taped on top of it. Giving a wedgie to a nerd. The MC can pay Magnar to accept being wedgied; if he doesn't, Derek will wedgie his roommate Bert only to get a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. Having a stripper sign your penis. Envy will sign the MC's penis if he gets a private dance with her, and Derek's penis otherwise. Get slapped by three girls. Two slaps are unavoidable (Cathy slaps the MC during the streaking, and Envy slaps Derek during the first visit to the Pink Rose), while the third is dependent. If the MC puts his finger in Lily's ass during the first visit to the Pink Rose, she will slap him; alternatively, if he helps Camila and Mona with their task by giving them his underwear, he can ask them to slap him in front of the DIKs. If he doesn't do either, Derek will count as having got the third slap from Wendy when he interrupts the feminist rally while drunk. Having sex outdoors. If the MC accepts the weed from Tommy, he will have sex with Quinn on the rooftop of the DIK house (Jacob sees the two while taking a leak); if he doesn't, sole credit for the task will go to Derek when he has sex with Wendy in the bushes after the aforementioned slap. Pranking the Alphas, accomplished by the MC or Derek messing with Dawe's shaker. Having sex with a teacher. The MC will get credit for this if he has sex with Jade and shares the video; if not, Derek will seduce an elderly schoolteacher during the car wash. Having sex with a feminist. Derek having sex with Wendy counts for this; the MC will share credit if he has sex with Jade and shares the video with the DIKs. Egging the Preps. This is the one task the two aren't able to complete before the end of Hell Week. Although Rusty tells them that completion of all the tasks on the board isn't necessary during the evaluation, the two manage to do it anyway after Derek sets off the fire sprinklers during the Preps' party. Although the MC hopes for the shenanigans to end after Hell Week, the DIKs continue to engage in quite a bit of these, especially given that their house is in disarray following the tri-alphas trashing the place; most notably, this includes "vodka fanny bullets", Derek's genius idea of placing tampons in vodka and inserting it rectally for maximum (alleged) alcohol dispersal. Notably, these hijinx are not limited to Delta Iota Kappa. Several tri-alphas reference "butt beer", and Hell Week for the HOTs is not much less wacky, especially given Quinn's interest in harassing Maya. | |

Embarrassing Slide: If the MC takes a dick pic using Tybalt's phone during the Preps' party in Episode 5, it is shown on screen during Tybalt's presentation in Episode 8, to his great embarrassment and general public hilarity. Notably, if Tremolo is even moderately sexually active, several female attendees can recognize it on sight; if he is dating Jill at this point, this causes her to feel somewhat sad about him having sex with other people. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_2f52c0af | comment |
Accidental Pervert: A rare example where you don’t do the thing by accident, but you do it for non-perverted reasons. You go to the HOTs’ house in Episode 1 to steal some panties so the DIKs will let you stay with them for the night. Quinn catches you in the act (indeed, Tommy calls her beforehand to ambush you) and calls you out for being a perv, even though she knows the DIKs and that the panty raid is part of their initiation. In fact, your interactions with Quinn always concern her judging you for your behaviour, approving of the DIK path and disapproving of the CHICK path. This is likely due to her running a prostitution ring and drug enterprise and looking for more people to bring into her 'world', along with her just generally enjoying being around the player character more as a DIK. | |

Normally, Stephen relents, saying 50% of his assets are a small price to pay for getting out of their Happy Marriage Charade; however, if Stephen got hold of the video of Jade sleeping with Tremolo, he will intimidate Jade into keeping almost all of his assets, leaving her nearly destitute. | |

Clique Tour: When Maya shows you around the school, she points out each of the four fraternities and the one sorority on campus, with each having their own distinct qualities: The Tri-Betas are the nerds who don't have their own house and spend their time in the library. The Alpha Nu Omegas are extremely rich and preppy and live in what seems like a luxurious mansion compared to the rest of the school property. The Tri-Alphas live in a normal house but assert their dominance as the jocks of the school Eta Omicron Tau, universally known as HOT on campus, is the only sorority present, and, up until the game's start, tended to party with the Tri-Alphas. Maya makes the point that they seem to be a bunch of stuck up sluts on the surface. Finally, there's the Delta Iota Kappas, universally known on campus as the DIKs. They're the newest fraternity on campus and, while they don't have as distinct of an image as the other Greek orgs, have built a solid reputation for themselves, especially considering that they've been fostering a great relationship with the HOTs since they were created. | |

Bad Date | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_3cb287ce | comment |
Bad Date: Several, played for both comedy and drama. Played for Laughs when Isabella tries to ensure that Jill has to spend as little time as humanly possible with Tybalt on the three dates he has forced her into to prevent him from suing the MC. Their first date, a walk around the mall to buy Tybalt a suit, is cut short when Bella meets the two of them and takes Jill shopping. Their second date has Isabella and the MC play doubles tennis with Jill and Tybalt, and can lead to the MC winning, or worse, hitting the ball at Tybalt enough that he loses and smashes his mouthpiece in pain, rendering his dialogue muddled for a large part of the subsequent episode. Their third date, despite no intervention from Isabella and potentially the MC, is the biggest disaster from his perspective, where he literally tries to propose to her, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that she has come to barely tolerate him (and given that this is Jill, that's saying something), and she angrily yells at him to never do anything like this again. This is made even better if the MC does show up and Jill accepts him, as the confetti Tybalt had planned to go with his proposal actually showers over the MC and Jill kissing in front of him. Played for Drama, however, is the MC's and Isabella's first date. It's unclear why, but the two are suddenly barely able to talk to each other even though they are normally perfectly comfortable with each other. It doesn't help that the waiter at the restaurant mistakes Bella for the MC's mother, bringing to the fore her insecurities about their Age-Gap Romance. The icing on the cake is when the MC's post-dinner plans include a walk to a library which (unknown to him) she used to work at and where she had gotten caught making out with James, bringing back memories and her insecurities regarding James, which cause her to storm off to his confusion. Subverted with the first date with Sage in Episode 10. Given the magnitude of this step in their relationship (given that they have mostly been Friends with Benefits till this point), it is clear that she feels a great deal of pressure for it to go well, which causes her to say hilariously inappropriate things at the restaurant in earshot of their mortified waiter. However, when the two start talking more about their lives, she starts feeling far more comfortable, and by the time they get to the movie the date has gotten wholly back on track. | |

College Is "High School, Part 2": The game takes inspiration from the college comedy genre of movies, and so it tends to put more emphasis on the social aspect of college and the disparities between the various types of students, while in "real" college people tend to do their own thing and not really care about social standing, at least not to the extent they did in high school. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_432e2c83 | comment |
Caretaker Reversal: In Episode 2, Sage helps you recover from getting beat up by the jocks after you spy on Chad in their locker room. Later, in Episode 6, if you call her on your birthday, you can go and look after her after she has a fever (which she is implied to have gotten due to her sitting and crying in the rain after Chad broke up with her). | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_4782e35b | comment |
Meet the In-Laws: Pete expresses an interest in meeting Tremolo when he is speaking to Josy during the Halloween party if you are in the throuple. If you have committed to Jill, Tremolo is invited to the Royce mansion in Episode 10. Subverted somewhat when Tremolo visits Maya's house for Thanksgiving in Episode 10. Given that the aim of the visit is to steal Maya's loan contract, the visit occurs independent of path; you may even pose as Maya's boyfriend if you're not in the Throuple if you told Josy about Chad and Troy. | |

Male Frontal Nudity | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_4db42cf3 | comment |
Male Frontal Nudity: Shows up with the MC, obviously, but shows up most often in non-sexual contexts with Derek, who seems to have no problem roaming around bottomless combined with his Walking Shirtless Scene. This is notable in Episode 1 where he crawls out of the bushes hiding from the cops after the DIK initiation and dissuades the MC from leaving college while completely naked (including accidentally flashing a mortified Maya when she passes by), and during the HOTs party in Episode 7 when called, lying on the couch wearing only the DIKs jacket. | |

Thanks for the Mammary: After playing tennis during their date in "When Worlds Collide", the MC and Jill learn that the women's bathroom is closed for repairs, which means the men's bathroom has been temporarily divided into two parts. If the MC has CHICK affinity, she can agree to shower at the same time as him, with the two in adjacent stalls (notably, choosing to shower at the same time improves your relationship with her, while choosing to shower alone reduces it). While comparing the water in their showers, Jill reaches into his shower, saying that hers is better. If he chooses to reach into hers in response, he does this just as she is walking out of it, leading to him getting a good handful. Jill is mortified, but not enraged, given that it was both an obvious accident and that she is developing a major crush on him. | |

Wham Shot | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_4e7f703c | comment |
Wham Shot: Almost every episode ends on one of these: Episode 1 ends with Maya waking you up by grinding on you. As both you and Maya start to get into it, a taser comes out and shocks you unconscious. Episode 2 reveals all of the downright ludicrous pledge board tasks for Hell Week, as well as Chad being blackmailed by a letter revealing a secret he’s been hiding. Episode 3 drops the fact that Josy and Maya are in a relationship, meaning that they’ve both been cheating on each other with you. This causes you to storm out to find a different place to stay, either Derek, Sage, or Isabella. Episode 4 displays the one task that the MC and Derek missed from the pledge board: egging the preps. Episode 6 shows Patrick, Maya’s overly religious dad, on his way to pay her a surprise visit right after she stormed out of the HOT ceremony after hearing that the "free tuition" wasn’t real; he has a key to her dorm, too. Professor Burke deletes Mona from the scholarship program, a letter of Cathy resigning from B&R is shown on his desk, and Mona herself drops out of B&R. If you showed Derek the video of you having sex with Jade, Professor Burke will reveal that he now has the video in his possession, all while sporting a Slasher Smile. Episode 7 shows, in a single image we finally get the missing piece of the puzzle from episode 1, the reason the guitar was stolen. Chad's mysterious lover is Troy. Episode 8 (and by extension season 2) concludes with the revelation that Sage is the adopted daughter of Stephen Burke and Jade Burke. In particular, this one leaves your thoughts on just one word: "Fuck". The ending of episode 9 has Derek discovering a hidden camera in one of the lights in his room, which used to be the janitor's closet. In addition to that: On Josy and Maya's route, the morning after the Halloween party, Maya walks out of the MC's room with his DIK jacket to clean up the mansion. Josy, still undressed, rushes out to try to stop Maya from being spotted by the DIKs while they're singing their Walk of Shame song, but she's too late, and one of the DIKs who catches them together is her step-brother Tommy. On Isabella's route, the MC sneaks her out of his room through the window to avoid the Walk of Shame tradition, but Nick, who was outside due to the bathrooms being occupied, sees them giving each other a goodbye kiss. Averted on Jill's route, as the MC will go out first to stop the Walk of Shame tradition himself before informing the DIKs that he's in a relationship with Jill. This is normally averted on Sage's route since Sage will go through the Walk of Shame tradition herself to announce to the DIKs that she and the MC are dating. However, if the DIKs know that the MC slept with Jade, which happens if the MC showed Derek the video of that in Episode 4, this ends up being played straight with the DIKs realizing that the MC slept with Sage and her mother. Episode 10 has several of these back to back, with Heather confessing to Tommy that she cheated on him with Nick and Beth getting caught putting up and vandalizing the DIK Hell Week photos. But the very last one is by far the most harrowing. Riona gets kidnapped by Vinny and his accomplice who were following her while she was on the phone with Quinn. | |

Making Love in All the Wrong Places | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_4e91b042 | comment |
Making Love in All the Wrong Places: In college sex comedy tradition, the MC isn't restricted to the bedroom with most of his partners. This shows up most notably with Jade, who tends to have sex anywhere - in a supply closet, in a bathroom, even giving the MC a handjob in a classroom during her class. This is taken to its peak in "Vixens", where she can have sex with the MC in her kitchen, with her family and guests in the next room, not even stopping when her son walks into said kitchen. It almost serves as Character Development for Maya in Episodes 8 and 9, who goes from a Shrinking Violet to having sex with the MC in an empty classroom during the dorm party and actively calling the MC behind the green screen at the Halloween party. | |

We Used to Be Friends: Emma is Zoey's first real friend in San Diego, who introduces her to the staff of "Tattoos". However, things sour massively between the girls when Emma suspects her of sleeping with Bret, leading to her posting Zoey's nude photo on Rooster in a jealous rage. If Zoey snatches Emma's phone, the two fight and that bridge is burnt forever, especially if Zoey posts Emma's own nudes on Rooster as revenge. This is mostly averted if the two talk it out; Emma confesses her feelings for Bret, tearfully apologizes for her actions and takes down the photo, although Zoey states that she didn't know if she could completely forgive her. | |

Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: Near the end of Episode 4, someone at the DIKs' party uploads a picture of a naked Cathy onto Rooster using the DIKs' laptop. This is heavily Played for Drama: even though Rusty immediately deletes the photo, the damage is done; every one of the DIKs is terrified of the potential consequences for both themselves and the frat. Cathy is obviously desolate, even more so when Dawe prints the picture onto flyers and spreads them all over campus, and can be found drinking away her sorrows, first with Jill and Bella and later in MacAllen's bar with Jade. In the end, she tenders her resignation from B&R at the end of Episode 6 and says goodbye to the MC in Episode 7, regardless of your relationship with her; she does not, however, punish the DIKs. | |

Big Man on Campus | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_5ff8fb1d | comment |
Big Man on Campus: Chad, the president of the Tri-Alphas, embodies this. With him being a jock, dating the president of the only sorority on campus, and going out of his way to assert dominance over other "inferior" students, he seems unmovable. A multi-man example that may not be apparent at first is the DIKs. At the start of the game, they are the newest fraternity on campus, having only been around for a few years. However, they've managed to make a name for themselves in that time, and with a large part of the story being centered around your relationship with them, it's easy to see them as more of a major force on campus than the Tri-Alphas. As the story progresses, you start to become this, especially if you act in a way that the DIKs like and if you play your cards right with every girl you talk to. If you make all the "right" choices, you can have all of the DIKs like you, be an excellent student (getting you brownie points with the teachers), be friends with the nerds, not have too much animosity with the preps and jocks, and date/sleep with/be good friends with every single girl you talk to, whether they're one of the HOTs, a teacher, any of the strippers at The Pink Rose, or any of the other girls you meet at B&R. If you sleep with a lot of the HOTs, Sage will eventually comment about how "girls talk more than you think" and that you have a reputation concerning a certain physical quality of yours. Inverted heavily with Quinn in later episodes, especially in a DIK playthrough; see Alpha Bitch. | |

The immediate next frame is of Tremolo's employer telling him that him quitting saves him the trouble of firing him. During the Thanksgiving party, when the DIKs are discussing unusual sex acts, Leon says that the HOTs, who are sitting at a nearby table, would be disgusted if they heard what they were talking about, with Nick saying that there is no way girls would ever discuss such raunchy topics. We then cut to the HOTs table, where the girls are discussing who makes the funniest face while orgasming. After having every one of his discussions with Wendy in Gender Studies class end up in loud shouting matches, Derek puts his foot down to Jade in Episode 3 and declares that he is going to sit with Tremolo and "discuss vaginas". The immediate next frame has him head-in-hands as he is paired up with Wendy again. | |

Silliness Switch: The free roam during the camping trip in Episode 10 becomes this if the MC decides to eat a shroom. All of the tasks in the task app will be replaced with sillier variants of those tasksnote for example, "Talk to the elf" instead of "Talk to Jill", some of the areas will have dinosaurs or undergo Holiday Mode, and the MC's dialogue for the character events will be much goofier than usual as he "explores the magic kingdom". | |

Guide Dang It! | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: With the scope of this game being much greater than DrPinkCake's previous work, if you want to go down a very specific path, rather than just picking all DIK/CHICK choices or picking each choice as you would yourself, you almost have to use the guide to do so, as the intricacies of the game make it so that you have to regulate the number of major DIK or CHICK choices you make, forgo some scenes if they cancel out other ones that you want, and so forth. Luckily, Seasons 1 and 2 do have an in-game guide that details the consequences of your decisions available for purchase. Notably zigzagged with several decisions required to follow certain paths, such as those belonging to Isabella and Quinn, given that there are several seemingly unrelated actions you can do that can lead to them ending things with you instantly: Bella will break up with you if you have sex with Cathy while driving her home, while Quinn will break up with you if you are pursuing Jill or Bella. While these decisions do make sense in a Fridge Brilliance sort of way given their characters, it is hardly intuitive. | |

A lot of trouble could have been avoided multiple times if Sage didn't blindly trust Quinn with essentially de facto running the HOTs due to her senior year responsibilities, causing the aforementioned DIKs Hell Week fiasco. In addition, she never denies nor confirms the rumor that HOTs get free tuition, causing Maya to believe Quinn and assume Sage was in on it due to her lacking awareness. This continues to the point where Sage sends Quinn by herself to try and convince Maya to rejoin the HOTs leading to Quinn insulting Maya to her face instead of apologizing. It is pure luck that Sage meets Maya in the library and gets to explain herself, though Sage does go out of her way to talk to both Maya and Josy from then on. | |

Played for Laughs | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_762b9223 | comment |
Played for Laughs when Isabella tries to ensure that Jill has to spend as little time as humanly possible with Tybalt on the three dates he has forced her into to prevent him from suing the MC. Their first date, a walk around the mall to buy Tybalt a suit, is cut short when Bella meets the two of them and takes Jill shopping. Their second date has Isabella and the MC play doubles tennis with Jill and Tybalt, and can lead to the MC winning, or worse, hitting the ball at Tybalt enough that he loses and smashes his mouthpiece in pain, rendering his dialogue muddled for a large part of the subsequent episode. Their third date, despite no intervention from Isabella and potentially the MC, is the biggest disaster from his perspective, where he literally tries to propose to her, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that she has come to barely tolerate him (and given that this is Jill, that's saying something), and she angrily yells at him to never do anything like this again. This is made even better if the MC does show up and Jill accepts him, as the confetti Tybalt had planned to go with his proposal actually showers over the MC and Jill kissing in front of him. | |

Real Men Wear Pink: A CHICK and Neutral affinity MC is open-minded towards Jamie's gardening hobby and doesn't mock him which leads to Jamie giving him his own flower to water, to which MC happily does so. A DIK affinity MC averts it by mocking Jamie for his feminine side and is not interested nor does he receive a plant to water from Jamie. | |

But We Used a Condom!: In Episode 9, Arieth discovers that she is pregnant, despite being on birth control. Quinn realises why – Arieth says that she had been recently mooching birth control pills off Dawe, who was using them for muscle growth; his supplier, Quinn herself, had been selling him fake sugar pills in desperation after having financial problems. | |

Let Us Never Speak of This Again | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_7d4a47d1 | comment |
Let Us Never Speak of This Again: Set in stone by the DIKs' secret code, a code a DIK member may invoke only once to ensure that something be "wiped from [the] memory" of all DIK brothers. The most notable example of this is when Jacob invokes the code during the Hell Week evaluation in Episode 5 to ensure that the details regarding either Derek having sex with the old teacher (which he essentially does as a favour to Derek for "stepping on the granny grenade" for the sake of the frat) or the MC having sex with Jade (realising how bad things could get if word got out about it) remain a secret, though not all invocations of the code are this grave or significant (Jamie, for instance, invoked it just to ensure that the rest of the DIKs didn't make fun of him for his gardening hobby). Later events reveal that the code is not as sacrosanct among all of the frat members as most may want it to be: if the MC had sex with Jade and revealed it to the DIKs, Stephen Burke is seen at the end of Episode 6 watching the video Tremolo shared with them. Episode 10 also has Tommy unashamedly break the code if sufficiently angered: on Josy and Maya's route, where he is angry at the MC being in a relationship with his stepsister, he angrily yells about Tremolo's relationship with Maya and Josy, which Tremolo invoked his DIK code for, to the entire DIK mansion, including the HOTs who have come to help with post-party cleanup, revealing the secret to all. | |

Open Relationship Failure | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_7e7d1a03 | comment |
Open Relationship Failure: Heather and Tommy's relationship is shown to be going down this path from Season 2 onwards. Although the terms of their relationship require them to ask for permission before sleeping with someone else, Tommy routinely and seemingly nonchalantly sleeps with other people without informing her – by the time the story first starts, he is "plus three" (has slept with three girls without informing her). This, apart from him being a Jerkass in general along with the fact that Heather had never been comfortable with being in an open relationship (as implied by her talk with Elena during the Thanksgiving party), starts to chafe at Heather in Season 3: after seeing him take Christine to his bed, she can perform oral sex on an unattached MC, and Episode 10 reveals that she slept with Nick. | |

I Know Mortal Kombat: One of the many minigames present in the game is Brawler, which you can play on your phone during most of the game's free roam events in Seasons 1 and 2. It uses a heavily time-limited variant of the "Simon Says" Mini-Game where you have to choose your action and input the correct arrow keys within a steep time limit (the required button presses are shown, however); winning this minigame can provide the player money, special renders, or skill points to improve your in-minigame stats. These stats, strangely, also carry over into the actual fights the player has in the story. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_8504b817 | comment |
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: It is unclear where Burgmeister & Royce, or indeed the town in which the MC grew up, is actually located, though it seems to be located in a somewhat interior part of the United States (which may mildly alleviate the game's Monochrome Casting) relatively close to the west coast, given that San Diego is accessible by train but is not close enough to the town for regular visits. That said, the currency notes seen in the Pink Rose do not resemble US dollar bills at all. | |

Noble Male, Roguish Male: The CHICK and DIK scale respectively. CHICK choices are more chivalrous and ethical, focusing on remaining mellow and being compassionate towards his love interests. The DIK choices tend to be more hot-headed, flirty, blunt, and rude. Though this can be zig-zagged as with Neutral affinity or still lean in one direction slightly more than the other. | |

Mini-Game | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_8a8afdce | comment |
Mini-Game: Several minigames are incorporated into the game, providing some variety from the vast amounts of reading typically involved in a Visual Novel. The most notable minigame is undoubtedly the one that spans nearly all of Season 2, where the MC takes charge of both cleaning up the DIK mansion and earning enough money to pay for new windows. Other notable minigames include Brawler, the time-limited "Simon Says" Mini-Game whose interface doubles as your combat interface; the drinking minigame, which involves moving your mouse from start to end while keeping it within a shape; and the party management minigame in Episode 9. Players uninterested in these minigames can select an option to not have any minigames, but they cannot be toggled off and on in a single playthrough. Notably, these minigames are both affected by and affect the story. The first round of the mansion cleaning/earning money minigame has one fewer worker because Tommy is sitting in his room and refuses to help. As for consequences, if the player fails this minigame, Rusty has to sell his car to pay for the windows and/or cleaning. | |

Cerebus Retcon: Derek having sex with Wendy while drunk near the end of Episode 4 is played for laughs, being shown to the DIKs' amusement during the Hell Week evaluation as proof of completion of the pledge board tasks of having sex outdoors and having sex with a feminist. Unfortunately, this event does have fallout: Derek's budding relationship with Ashley is destroyed when she sees it – she can be found on the top floor of the Preps' mansion in Episode 5 weeping as Elena tries to console her – and she doesn't talk to him again till Episode 7 and gets together with Anthony of the tri-Alphas. When the MC talks to Isabella in Episode 3 about how it has been a long time since he has been in touch with Zoey, the screen shows pictures of Zoey on a San Diego beach, including one of her naked. Sending a nude to her best-friend-with-benefits seems like the kind of wild, naughty thing Zoey'd do, right? Nope. The interlude reveals that the picture was not sent to him privately, but was publicly posted on Rooster by Emma as revenge as she believed that Zoey had slept with Bret; worse, this was a picture that Zoey had asked Emma to delete immediately. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
The Burkes. Jade and Stephen's marriage has mostly collapsed with Stephen's constant lechery of students and Isabella, and he may have cheated on her with her best friend Cathy; this has led to Jade very unsubtly flirting with the MC, her student (during classes!), and seemingly trying to work out her pent-up anger issues by having sex with him. Tybalt, meanwhile, is among the worst upper-class characters in the game, displaying a giant sense of entitlement, Stalker with a Crush tendencies towards Jill, and a somewhat worrying degree of being a Momma's Boy. It says something that Sage is the most normal member of the family, even given her inability to healthily express emotions and her fear of attachment. | |

Artistic License – Education: Throughout the game, you, the DIKs, and the HOTs get away with so much more than any real life fraternity or sorority would be able to get away with, no matter how secretive they are. This can be explained as being the result of money and influence. The Alpha Nu Omegas are all the children of extremely wealthy and influential alumni and Rusty being Russell Burgmeister. As in, one of the two families that founded the university so they get away with sneaking things and not getting inspected, while the HOTs get the knock-on effect of the university just by this point not in general investigating campus activity too closely. | |

There are several traditional versions used, including the flashback in Episode 3 where we see the young MC and Zoey change to their adult selves; in Episode 7, which cuts from the flashback of Neil working on the hotel near Lynette's house to him visiting the DIK house to drop off the furniture from the hotel; and in Episode 10, which cuts from a younger Stephen talking to his therapist to him in the present handing Jade divorce papers. | |

She calls him to lie on her stomach as she runs her fingers through his hair, and after discussing her Hair-Trigger Temper, the two fall asleep fully clothed. Notably, this is the first time when the two fall asleep together that is not post-coital (while they do sleep in the same bed without having sex if Sage was told about Chad and Troy in Episode 8, it is shown that she cannot sleep). | |

Rewatch Bonus | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_97926168 | comment |
Rewatch Bonus: Large parts of early episodes become much more intriguing with reveals in future episodes: Episode 3 opens with Jade and Stephen having a fight after he has cheated on her, and an angry Jade picking up photoframes and throwing them at him. The table has three photo frames, with one showing the two of them, and the second showing Tybalt; the third is hidden from the camera. These same photoframes are seen again in Episode 8's ending, with all three photos visible, showing the final member of the Burke family: Sage. When the MC asks Sage why she had never pursued learning the guitar earlier, one of her reasons is, "Certain family members that thought [she] should be playing something fancier than a guitar". Episode 8's ending reveals that this family member is almost certainly her brother Tybalt; indeed, earlier in the same episode, when he tells Jill that he is learning to play an instrument and Jill asks him whether it is the guitar, he dismisses it as "the poor man's instrument" and says that he plans to play "something fancier". If you decide to give Sage guitar lessons, then while approaching her room in Episode 3, the MC hears her having an argument with Chad after his suspension from the tri-Alphas, where he begs her to talk to "them". When she says that she will try, she goes to kiss him, only to receive a peck on the forehead. This incenses her and she angrily calls him out on not fulfilling her physical needs, dismissing his excuse of steroid use causing impotency (especially given that she has just confirmed that he is cheating on her). She talks about how Dawe and Arieth still have sex, and Chad reveals that Dawe uses the birth control pill as a cheaper way to stimulate muscle growth, before stating that he doesn't even want to stay with Sage, looking to move into a dorm instead. All of this comes back later: Chad is trying to get Sage to talk to her parents Jade and Stephen, donors to the college who have the influence to reverse his suspension; the fact that he has not been intimate with her for some time and is clearly using his steroid use as an excuse, along with him not even asking to stay with her, foreshadows the reveal of him using Sage as The Beard and not caring for her; and the fact that Dawe uses birth control pills plays a vital role in Arieth getting pregnant in Episode 8. Derek mentions that Jade hates it when asked about menopause after getting in trouble with the feminists in Episode 4. Episode 10 confirms in a flashback with her husband Stephen that she's infertile. While Riona is waiting for Quinn to show up in Episode 4, she seems to notice something suspicious. She brings up the possibility of Vinny telling someone about her in Episode 6, but Quinn dismisses it as paranoia. Behind her is a blue van, which also appears at the end of Episode 8 when she's in the middle of a drug deal. Vinny and his accomplice use that blue van to kidnap Riona at the end of Episode 10. When the MC meets Maya and Josy in class in Episode 6 after getting a black eye due to being sucker punched by Tommy, Maya recommends that he use makeup to hide the black eye. This line gets a lot more uncomfortable in the wake of the reveal in Episode 10 that Patrick has been physically abusing Maya. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_9a4ffdf1 | comment |
Battle of the Still Frames: Played with, in that it's used for the entire story, and not just fight scenes. Like DrPinkCake's previous work, the game is shown through still frames. However, the game does use some smaller animations in some frames. These are usually minor things like blinking or someone waving to another character, but it still adds more life to a scene than having a completely still frame. Inverted with some smaller scenes and nearly all of the sex scenes, which are fully animated and markedly improved in quality from Acting Lessons. | |

Foreshadowing: Josy only says that she is a relationship during her first date, not that she has a boyfriend. When Josy tells the MC over dinner that Tommy is her stepbrother in Episode 2, Tremolo wonders how Tommy would react if he knew that the two of them were having dinner together; Josy laughs, saying "He would so beat you up." This turns out to be the case in the start of Episode 10 if you have committed to her and Maya when Tommy sees a naked Josy emerge from Tremolo's room during the Walk of Shame. Several discussions with Sage in episodes 4 and 5 deal with her having to manage the HOTs' finances efficiently, especially in contrast to Rusty's dependence on his father's money to run the DIKs. This makes it less surprising that the rumour of the HOTs paying for any student's tuition was always a complete lie, rendering all of Maya's pain for naught. Sage's family is referenced several times before being revealed at the end of Episode 8. In Episode 4, during the car wash, Quinn taunts her about possibly asking her family for help with the HOTs finances. At the Preps' party in Episode 5, Sage says that she is staying upstairs because she knows her mother is at the party downstairs; indeed, the MC can see Jade at the party, possibly even talking to her if you slept with her in Episode 4. If the MC has sex with Jade in Episode 4, he asks if she is on the pill, to which she replies,"No...but you don't need to worry about that." Episode 10 reveals that she is infertile. Tommy's disrespect for the DIK code can be seen during the visit to the elderly home in Episode 6; if Derek slept with the elderly teacher, then, despite Jacob having called the DIK code to keep the matter a secret, Tommy starts making rapid-fire jokes about Derek's love for grandmas. If the MC is on Maya and Josy's route, then, despite Tremolo invoking the code to hide his relationship with them, Tommy is so angry with him for sleeping with his stepsister that he complains about it to everyone in the DIK house, HOTs included, which means it quickly becomes public knowledge. | |

Although the MC hopes for the shenanigans to end after Hell Week, the DIKs continue to engage in quite a bit of these, especially given that their house is in disarray following the tri-alphas trashing the place; most notably, this includes "vodka fanny bullets", Derek's genius idea of placing tampons in vodka and inserting it rectally for maximum (alleged) alcohol dispersal. | |

Mood Whiplash: Derek's behavior after eating a shroom in Episode 10 is Played for Laughs with his hallucinations, missing every shot while playing beer pong, and humping a trash can. Then his tendency of not being able to keep secrets while under the influence comes out, and it leads to him revealing to Rusty and Jacob that someone put a camera in his room and that whoever they are is likely a traitor among the DIKs. | |

Polyamory: In the end of the first season, Maya, Josy and the MC can start a throuple relationship. While not played seriously, exactly, the game does take it far more seriously than merely an excuse for threesomes; most notably, if the MC spends more time with one of them, the other shows signs of jealousy. | |

Imagine Spot: When in the shower while preparing for his first date with Josy, the MC imagines what her reaction would be to him telling her about his crush on her. Potential reactions include angry rejection ("You're in love with me? Are you high?"), laughter ("Hahaha, that's just sad!"), awkwardness ("erm...ok...I got to go...") and asking him to have sex with her right there; the last of these leads Tremolo to fantasize about her, only stopping when he realises that Neil can hear him. Her actual reaction when he tells her is...far more complicated. | |

Meet Cute: Lynette's diary reveals that her and Neil's relationship started out like this. Neil was part of the construction crew for work on a country house Lynette's father had forced her to stay in, and she would often be disturbed by them starting their work early in the morning; the first time they met involved Neil entering the house after a pipe burst, where he saw Lynette in her underwear. When he came to her room later to give an Apology Gift, he didn't realize that she had just come out of the shower, and she had to hide him in her closet when her father called for her. That said, when she did use his gift, a pair of industrial-grade earplugs, she appreciated the thoughtfulness of the gesture, and was happy to go with him when he asked her out. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_aaece264 | comment |
Rousing Speech: When the MC returns to the DIK mansion the morning after it has been trashed by the tri-Alphas in "HOTheaded", he finds the DIKs ruing the state of the mansion, as well as the fact that Rusty's dad has refused to help with repairing the windows and has told him to spend their buffer funds, which had already been exhausted on Pink Rose girls; this makes the rest of the DIKs worried about this being the end of the fraternity. The MC, having clearly taken Sage's point about how fraternities and sororities are supposed to operate and how Rusty has been living in a bubble due to running the DIKs by spending his father's money to heart, and having just become a full-fledged DIK member, calls all of them out and motivates them into making a plan to repair the mansion together. | |

Notably zigzagged with several decisions required to follow certain paths, such as those belonging to Isabella and Quinn, given that there are several seemingly unrelated actions you can do that can lead to them ending things with you instantly: Bella will break up with you if you have sex with Cathy while driving her home, while Quinn will break up with you if you are pursuing Jill or Bella. While these decisions do make sense in a Fridge Brilliance sort of way given their characters, it is hardly intuitive. | |

Home Porn Movie: If Tremolo sleeps with Jade in Episode 4, then he asks her to record them having sex for future enjoyment; despite her misgivings (given that she is a married teacher sleeping with her student), she agrees. Tremolo can subsequently use this video as proof of completion of the DIK pledge board tasks of having sex with a teacher and having sex with a feminist (if he does not, he simply deletes the video). Notably, this action has significant consequences: her husband Stephen is shown watching the video in the ending of Episode 6, and, when he files for divorce in Episode 10, he uses it to force Jade to let him keep almost all of his assets. | |

Dysfunctional Family | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_b6cc7fc0 | comment |
Dysfunctional Family: Given the central theme of the game, it is not surprising that several dysfunctional families form the core of the drama. The Burkes. Jade and Stephen's marriage has mostly collapsed with Stephen's constant lechery of students and Isabella, and he may have cheated on her with her best friend Cathy; this has led to Jade very unsubtly flirting with the MC, her student (during classes!), and seemingly trying to work out her pent-up anger issues by having sex with him. Tybalt, meanwhile, is among the worst upper-class characters in the game, displaying a giant sense of entitlement, Stalker with a Crush tendencies towards Jill, and a somewhat worrying degree of being a Momma's Boy. It says something that Sage is the most normal member of the family, even given her inability to healthily express emotions and her fear of attachment. Josy's parents are divorced after Pete cheated on her mother with Monica, and although she is very much Daddy's Girl, she does not get along with Monica at all; her relationship with her step-brother Tommy is, unsurprisingly, not great. Her relationship with her mother isn't much better; Episode 9 reveals that her mother buries herself in work and her new partner blames Josy for not spending enough time with her. Episode 10 reveals Maya and Derek's family to be this, big time, even apart from Patrick's Financial Abuse of her. Her mother Helen has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and dementia since around the time the twins were born, and several years of constant pain have resulted in her often being rude and hurtful. Patrick, who deeply loves her, has promised her that she will see her grandchildren before she died, which is a major reason why he is so opposed to Maya dating a girl; he is also revealed to have been abusing Maya in several ways, including physically, on top of the financial abuse and his Control Freak nature. | |

Quinn generally has a confident, unshakeable attitude; there's very few things that shake her up, one of those being her customers getting more from her girls than they paid for. Don't refer to Isabella as Bella if you are not her friend. | |

The wall in front of the MC's study table in his room at the mansion has various mementos of his activities at B&R, apart from a picture frame where he can put up Jacob's artwork. Clicking on these mementos can also have Tremolo look at and express his thoughts on the events that led to him receiving them. While some mementos show up in all playthroughs, most notably his old phone after he is gifted a new one for his birthday in Episode 6 and his gym membership card after Episode 7, several are only added depending on player decisions, such as the fake ID if you accept it from Tommy and go to MacAllen's in Episode 6, and a picture of Tremolo playing the guitar on stage marked "TREMOLO THE ROCKSTAR" if you saved Jill's recital in Episode 8. | |

But You Were There, and You, and You: The visuals of the Dungeons and Gremlins game in Episode 6, as imagined by the MC, includes several members of the cast playing different roles, mostly so that he has the chance to seduce them. Nearly all of the main cast (and some minor characters as well) shows up throughout the segment, and not just the players (the MC, Maya, Josy, Jill, and Sally) but as NPCs as well. Notably, Quinn shows up as Moria, the woman hiding in the bushes at the start; Sage plays Princess Nadia; and Isabella "reprises" her role as the Ice Queen. Other appearances include Cathy as the fruit merchant, Camila as the potter, Riona as the blacksmith, Jade as the barmaid, Sarah and Melanie as the bar wenches, Wendy, Dany and Linda as the ogres at the start, Dawe, Anthony and Alex as the "lowlifes", and Arieth as the sewer monster. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: If Camila and Mona agree to slap the MC in front of the DIKs for the pledge board, after they do so by pretending to be outraged that he slept with both of them and didn't call them back, an impressed Jacob does the Epic Handshake from Predator with him, even saying "[player name], you son of a bitch!" If the MC smokes weed on the roof in Episode 4, he has a scene where he feels like he is floating, a reference to Breaking Bad. During the end of Hell Week at the tri-Alphas, Anthony is dancing in a way similar to the dancing Drake meme from the "Hotline Bling" music video. In the flashback at the start of Episode 6, Rox and Buddy discuss the ending of The Departed. MacAllen's bar, the bar where Tommy invites you, seems to be a reference to MacLaren's bar from How I Met Your Mother. During the Dungeons and Gremlins game in Episode 7, if you try to attack the Ice Queen, Josy tries to jump at her with her rogue powers, but the Ice Queen stops her by catching her stabbing arm; Josy then tries dropping her dagger onto her other hand to stab the Ice Queen with it, a reference to Arya's killing of the Night King in Game of Thrones. Eugene looks exactly like Napoleon Dynamite. In Episode 9, when Sage asks the MC what his dad Neil's last name is, providing the last names "Peart", "Young", "Diamond", or "Armstrong" will have her ask if the MC is joking (and not accept the answer). When Becky, Kylie and Christine all show up to the Halloween party in Episode 9 wearing identical sexy nurse outfits, they angrily point at each other in a shot that looks identical to the shot of the Spider-Men pointing at each other from Spider-Man: No Way Home. When Sage asks the MC about whether he has ever played tabletop games, he replies that the only one he has played is "that landlord game where you play as a shoe" The movie Tremolo and a romanced Sage watch during their date in Episode 10 has a pink convertible being driven by a blonde woman dressed in pink, with a man wearing a hat, smoking a cigarette, and wearing a suit sitting in the back seat while an explosion goes off behind them, a clear reference to the "Barbenheimer" meme surrounding the two films' release. | |

On the Rebound: A MC who has become Friends with Benefits with Sage worries that Sage sees him as this after her breakup with Chad, which is why he refuses to have sex with her after she practices martial arts in his room. When they subsequently speak at the HOTs party, she assures him that she does not see him that way. Deconstructed somewhat with Derek and Ashley's relationship. After their budding relationship falls apart in Episode 4 when Derek has sex with Wendy in the bushes while drunk (something he himself deeply regrets), a heartbroken Ash gets together with Anthony, potentially out of spite given the DIK-Alpha rivalry. However, while Ant turns out to be a surprisingly nice guy, it becomes increasingly clear that neither she nor Derek have moved on, which everyone can see: when Derek tries to hit on Camila during the Halloween party, he spends most of the time talking about Ash (as Camila reveals if you try to be Derek's wingman), and one phone call from Derek during the HOTs party is enough for her to run to him, only for her to emerge from his room the next morning. | |

Video Game Caring Potential | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_c9861848 | comment |
Video Game Caring Potential: For a game called Being a DIK, it offers a lot of ways for you to be kind to the characters: In Episode 1, you can buy an unnamed student who's shaking the vending machine a soda, and he'll repay you with double the amount in Episode 4 if you chose to stay with Derek. After your lunch with Maya at a restaurant in Episode 1, you can pay for her meal. You can also attempt to do the same for Isabella in Episode 3, and although she'll decline your offer, it helps with having her come around on you. You can return the money back to your dad Neil for your train fare in Episode 2, as you had already bought your ticket prior to him sending you money for it. When you return to the supermarket you used to work at in Episode 2, you'll have the opportunity to get Josy either chocolate or flowers. If you texted her and found out that she likes flowers over chocolate, she'll enjoy your gift of flowers more than usual. After that, you overhear Steve crying in one of the rooms, as he had just quit his job due to his dad cheating on his mom. You can talk to him and offer him advice on how to move forward from there. At the Pink Rose in Episode 3, you can buy Nick a lap dance to cheer him up from feeling down over the absence of his maggot brother Vinny. If you chose to stay with Isabella in Episode 4, you can help clean up the dishes and water her plants. Episode 5 gives you the chance to paint the fence around her house. If you won the Hell Week competition, you can decline the Pink Rose VIP pass in Episode 6 to help the DIKs repair their mansion. If you practiced Jill's song at least twice, you can help Jill muster up the courage to perform at her piano recital in Episode 8. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_cd8c578c | comment |
My Eyes Are Up Here: Unusual variant when it is enforced by someone else. When the MC finds Jill and Isabella in the park practicing yoga while wearing (somewhat low-cut) sports bras in Episode 2, Bella accuses him of staring at Jill's chest (given that she is still fairly antipathetic to him at this point) and orders him to do the same pose that Jill had been doing; subsequently, she actively forces his gaze away from Jill's breasts when the latter does another pose. | |

Monochrome Casting | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_ce0b2b21 | comment |
Monochrome Casting: While it may be justifiable given that B&R is a smaller college (see Where the Hell Is Springfield?), the cast is overwhelmingly white, including the MC, Derek, and all Main Girls (though Josy is Ambiguously Brown). Non-white cast members in Season 1 can be counted on one hand, with one DIK (Jacob), two HOTs (Riona and Camila), and two Pink Rose employees (Stanley and Brandi). Season 2 adds Darius, a new tri-alpha brother, and Neil's friend Luis. Season 3 adds a few minority characters as part of fighting training with Dwyane and Chao. | |

Starving Student: Although you managed to go to B&R, you still come from a relatively low-class family, forcing you to take out loans in order to attend. Maya is in an even worse situation; her father's financial abuse has meant that her credit history is so messed up she cannot even take out student loans without essentially destroying it, making her desperate to join the HOTs in the hope that they will pay her tuition. | |

Sexy Whatever Outfit: Ubiquitous, of course, during the Halloween party in Episode 9, with most of the female cast picking sexy outfits, while the MC's Spartan outfit is plenty revealing itself. Averted by a non-romanced Isabella who wears only Tommy's demon head mask from the DIK evaluation over her normal clothes (a romanced Isabella wears a slightly more sexy mummy outfit, though its primary aim is also to conceal her presence at the party), and hilariously subverted by a romanced Jill, who shows up as a banana (played straight by a non-romanced Jill, who shows up in a sexy bee costume). Parodied with Leon, who dresses up as Lily. | |

Having sex outdoors. If the MC accepts the weed from Tommy, he will have sex with Quinn on the rooftop of the DIK house (Jacob sees the two while taking a leak); if he doesn't, sole credit for the task will go to Derek when he has sex with Wendy in the bushes after the aforementioned slap. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_d1da2c36 | comment |
Played for Drama, however, is the MC's and Isabella's first date. It's unclear why, but the two are suddenly barely able to talk to each other even though they are normally perfectly comfortable with each other. It doesn't help that the waiter at the restaurant mistakes Bella for the MC's mother, bringing to the fore her insecurities about their Age-Gap Romance. The icing on the cake is when the MC's post-dinner plans include a walk to a library which (unknown to him) she used to work at and where she had gotten caught making out with James, bringing back memories and her insecurities regarding James, which cause her to storm off to his confusion. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Phone usage (including its use in gameplay to access the gallery and such) is restricted in several places. Cathy will ask you to put your phone away if you try to access it during her classes in gameplay. This subsequently comes up in Episode 3: when Derek snaps a picture of her ass and sends it to Tremolo, he pulls out his phone, only for Cathy to look at the message and be flustered; Dawe and Anthony trying to cheat on one of her tests also has her drag them out of the classroom (providing the opportunity for the MC/Derek to prank them). Stanley also forbids your use of the phone during the first visit to the Pink Rose, making it inaccessible there. During the Halloween party in Episode 9, Derek can be found trying to chat up Camila; when you talk to him, he asks you to be his wingman and set him up with her. There is different dialogue for this event if you do this after having had sex with Cammy during the party (though she rejects him regardless): when you call her into John Boy's room to get away from the music, she asks whether you're interested in "round two", and reacts incredulously to your attempt at setting them up, amusedly asking if you're really trying to set her up with your friend the same night that you've had sex with her. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Playing without minigames enabled severely restricts the avenues for players to earn money, so not only are there more money pickups during free-roam events, but each money pickup provides 2$ instead of 1$. However, this is no longer the case in Season 3. After playing the interlude once, it can be skipped, with only the major choice needing to be selected. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Episode 3's ending reveals that both Maya and Josy are in a troubled relationship...with each other, meaning both the girls that the MC has been dating, one a girl with seemingly no connection to B&R who worked with him during the summer, the other the first girl he met at B&R and whose brother is among his closest friends, were in a relationship with each other (and had been for a while, long enough to have faced consequences from Maya's father) with him not knowing anything, and both of them have independently fallen for him. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Zoey only shows up in a flashback in Episode 3 as the MC's best friend and maybe-First Love, but is said to have left for San Diego. The stinger of Episode 8 reveals her to have come back for good, and she is a guest at the Halloween party in Episode 9 and a major character from that point on. Stephen Burke initially only shows up as a counselor at college during Chad's disciplinary hearing and Jade's lecherous husband with the hots for Isabella. From Season 2 onwards, he becomes a much more significant character, being seemingly involved in Quinn's restaurant, going so far as to singlehandedly revoke Mona's scholarship, and turning out to be the father of Sage. Vinny is introduced as a significant flashback character who was Nick's maggot brother and was instrumental in making the DIKs what they are today. We finally get a look at him in the present in the ending of Episode 8, where he is supplying Tommy. He shows up at the Halloween party in Episode 9, threatening Quinn for stealing his business and the MC for "stealing" his room. | |

Art Evolution: The visual quality of the game has certainly improved as the episodes have gone on, along with slight changes to character models. This most notably impacts Josy, Isabella and Camila, who seem to get darker with each episode, though it is arguable how much of this is because of lighting. | |

Walk of Shame | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_e8c0fe9f | comment |
Walk of Shame: Codified into a tradition by the DIKs: the morning after a party (or any weekend, really), the DIKs gather on top of the stairs near the main hall and sing a "Walk of Shame" song to any girl who is leaving a DIK's room. Girls are often embarrassed at this, though reactions vary: Arieth whoops to the song, John Boy's long-term girlfriend Elena just laughs it off ("Guys, it's me"), and the first time Isabella stays over in Tremolo's room, she gives the boys a Death Glare so potent it shuts all of them up. By the time his room is ready, Tremolo is savvy enough to try to get any overnight female company in his room out through his window to avoid them having to go through it. This becomes plot-important in some paths, particularly in Episode 9: on Maya and Josy's path, the two accidentally exiting the MC's room is how Tommy finds out about their relationship; Sage on her path goes on the Walk herself and announces that she's dating the MC (with the DIKs being stunned if Tremolo slept with Jade and they know); and the MC puts a stop to it in Jill's path, introducing her as his girlfriend (to Rusty's surprise, given that he had dated her previously). | |

Her mother Helen has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and dementia since around the time the twins were born, and several years of constant pain have resulted in her often being rude and hurtful. Patrick, who deeply loves her, has promised her that she will see her grandchildren before she died, which is a major reason why he is so opposed to Maya dating a girl; he is also revealed to have been abusing Maya in several ways, including physically, on top of the financial abuse and his Control Freak nature. | |

Two-Teacher School: Season 1 has Jade and Cathy as the only teachers at B&R, with Cathy teaching Gen Ed (English and Math) and Jade teaching Gender Studies, with Stephen as a counselor as seen during Chad's disciplinary hearing. Later episodes do add more teachers, especially after Cathy leaves B&R after the nude photo scandal; Gen Ed gets split between Prof. Philip Hoff, who teaches Math, and, of all people, Isabella, who teaches English (admittedly, she is qualified as a teacher, librarians are also teachers, and she had studied English in college). A few other teachers do show up outside the MC's classes, notably Dr. Schmidt, Tybalt's mentor; however, janitorial staff aren't seen on screen, with the only indication of such duties being performed being the tri-Betas and the MC helping with the library for fraternity funds. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
Several player names can sometimes invoke unusual reactions, including the occasional invoking of the One-Steve Limit. The player prompt to enter their name is in response to Steve calling him "fuckface" and Tremolo protesting that his name isn't fuckface. If you enter the name "fuckface", Tremolo embarrassedly notes that that is in fact his name. If the player has the name "Oscar", then, in Episode 9, he acts confused when Tara talks to her friends about her boyfriend Oscar. If the player has the name "Lucky" and is committed to Jill, then, in Episode 10, when she undresses to get in the bathtub in the Preps' mansion with him, he says that he feels like the luckiest man alive, and she responds "It's easy to feel lucky with a name like yours." | |

Catfishing | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_f2557d99 | comment |
Catfishing: Mostly played for laughs. On Swyper, you can match with Ida, all of whose photos contain an attractive girl and a less attractive one; the two are Ida and her friend Micha. If the MC asks to clarify which girl Ida is, she angrily unmatches, implying that she is the less attractive one. Later, Micha shows up on Swyper by herself, but if the MC matches with her, it doesn't take too much effort to figure that it is really Ida pretending to be Micha for matches. You can meet Micha later as Rusty's date at the dorm party in Episode 8, having never been on Swyper and with no idea what's going on; Ida herself shows up at the Halloween party in Episode 9 and angrily calls the MC out. | |

Fanservice Extra: Several minor characters can be interacted with for nudes or one-off sexual interactions, most notably girls on Swyper. There are also several background B&R students who don't do much besides provide fanservice at parties, the most notable one being Tiffani, who spends nearly every party in which she appears dancing topless. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: As the title of this game implies, there are many things you can do to be a dick: The first opportunity comes when Josy offers you a marker after you use Steve's portrait to make her laugh. You can draw a funny face on him, or you can take it a step further by drawing dicks all over his face. If you bought the spicy option from Quinn's "restaurant" in Episode 1, she'll taunt you that Camila was close to going all the way with you in Episode 2. You can tell her that Camila did actually do that to get under her skin, and she'll threaten to punish Camila in Episode 3 for giving you more than what you paid for. You can joke to Derek that his sister Maya has a lot of dildos in her drawer in Episode 2. He's not amused. You can steal Jill's money when you're raiding the Alpha Nu Omega mansion with Derek in Episode 2. During your first visit to the Pink Rose, you can put a finger in Lily's butt, which results in her slapping and hating you. At least it counts for the slapping task. When you find Ron peeping in on Arieth sleeping with someone else in Episode 4, you can kick Ron through the door, which results in Arieth and the guy she was with chasing Ron out and him running away screaming for his life. One of the biggest examples of this is sharing your sex video with Jade to the DIKs to fulfill the task of sleeping with a teacher and a feminist, ignoring her warning that you absolutely do not share it with anyone else since she's cheating on Stephen by sleeping with you. After Tybalt catches you crashing the party at the Alpha Nu Omega mansion in Episode 5, he slaps you and calls you a loser. You can punch him in response and replay that moment as many times as you want. In Episode 7, you can outright say to Lily that you like her bikini better than Josy's while the latter is standing right there. At the HOT party with the alphas in Episode 7, you can make every alpha leave (or you'll be forced to do so if you have permanent DIK affinity.) While most of the things you do to accomplish this aren't outright cruel, the exception comes when you push Dawe into the pool while he's off brooding by himself. During Episode 7's tennis match against Jill and Tybalt, you can aim your tennis balls at Tybalt. Hit him all three times, and he'll lose his prosthetic teeth, resulting in his speech becoming slurred, which carries over into his presentation. When Ron throws a balloon filled with a drink at Derek in Episode 8, you can join Derek in getting revenge on Ron with urine-filled condoms. It gets taken further if you do this while drunk, as you'll end up splashing urine on Derek as well. You can punch Oscar after he insults Josy at the Halloween party in Episode 9. Before your spar against Troy in Episode 10, you can say that he's nothing to you, reigniting his hatred of you. You may have the option of punching Patrick in Episode 10 when you walk in on him grabbing his daughter Maya by the wrist. If you successfully tried for something more with Josy and Maya in Episode 4 but want to pursue a relationship with Jill, Sage, or Isabella instead in Episode 8, you'll have to break up with Josy and Maya at the end of Episode 9. Maya is understandably sad, but Josy takes the news far worse. By Episode 10, while Maya is still willing to patch things up with you after some time, Josy will coldly brush you off, still upset at your decision and wanting nothing to do with you. Breaking up with Jill to commit to either Josy and Maya or Sage after going on a dinner date with her in Episode 8 is cruel enough, as she takes the breakup far harsher than if you hadn't done so. But it gets even worse if you decide to commit to Isabella, her best friend. She will catch you having sex with Isabella on the dinner table while visiting her house, and she's left furious and in hysterics at both your and Isabella’s betrayal. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
Being A ΔΙΚ (Visual Novel) / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: Some of your more dickish actions will result in you losing relationship points with the main girls, Derek, the DIKs, or other notable consequences: If you drew on Steve's portrait in Episode 1 and attempt to push your boss (who's Steve's dad) for extra money in Episode 1 after quitting your job, he will withhold your pay slip to cover the cost of your vandalism. If you stole Jill's money in Episode 2, you end up admitting it to her in Episode 10 after she confronts you about the Alpha Nu Omega mansion break-in. Needless to say, she's not happy with your actions, as you'll lose a whopping five relationship points with her, and if you're on her route, she won't come stay with you in the DIK mansion for the night. She also won't come stay with you if you broke up with Josy and Maya. Lily will charge you extra for her lewd scene in Episode 5 if you put a finger in her butt in Episode 3, with no way to reduce the price. If you shared your sextape with Jade to the DIKs in Episode 4, her husband, Stephen, will reveal at the end of Episode 6 that someone leaked it to him. He uses that video in Episode 10 to blackmail her into letting him keep almost all of his assets when he files to divorce her. Choosing to break up with Josy and Maya in Episode 8 results in you spending all of Episode 9 avoiding them, as you won't have the option to take a picture with them or vote for them for the costume contest, and you don't get to talk to them while they're investigating the "murder mystery" in Rusty's room. Following the breakup, they won't comment on your Clucks in Episode 10. If you make Patrick too suspicious of you during the Thanksgiving dinner with the Bailey family in Episode 10, especially by punching him, he'll take back the keys to his private office from Derek, preventing you from stealing the loan contract. | |

Brick Joke: When roaming around the dorm during your first night at B&R in Episode 1, you can find a guy frustratedly shaking a soda machine after it swallowed his money. If you have 1$, you can buy him a new soda and he will thank you. In Episode 4, if you chose to stay with Derek, you can meet him again and he will repay you; in the subsequent conversation, you can recommend that he join the chess club to help with his anger management issues. He doesn't show up again for nearly all of Season 2, but notably, and seemingly unrelatedly, Prof. Hoff, the replacement math teacher after Cathy's resignation has a black eye. The kicker comes in Episode 8: in the newspaper Tybalt shows off talking about his parents donating money to B&R, the article beside the headline talks about the soda guy, revealing his name (Benjamin Ingsfeldt) and that he has been expelled from B&R following him assaulting Prof. Hoff after losing a chess game. This event leads to him not being in his room during the dorm party, allowing his roommate to make out with another partygoer where otherwise the two of them would have been playing a board game. In the middle of the Halloween party, Tremolo can interrupt a guy trying to find a free bathroom; this leads to him peeing into an empty beer bottle and setting it on the table in the background of a conversation in the main hall. Later, right at the end of the party during the best costume prize announcement, another partygoer cheers the nominees on, before taking a swig from the nearby bottle and immediately spitting it out once he realizes it's urine. | |

Eating Lunch Alone: Invoked by Sage when she is met for the first time in the cafeteria, where she deduces that Tremolo is a freshman new to B&R because she finds him sitting alone but he "doesn't seem the type". | |
