Being a DIK

Your mother died, and what followed was not a good stretch: drugs, fights, a fair amount of self-destruction. Now you leave all of it behind, along with a summer romance and a father left on his own, and start over at Burgmeister & Royce University.

There you stumble into the Delta Iota Kappa fraternity, which is busy trying to get back on its feet. You are supposed to help it do that, except your old history catches up with you at exactly that moment. Whether you stay the decent guy or turn into a reckless prick is your call, and the game remembers either way.

That is where its strength sits: your decisions carry consequences, for you and for everyone around you. On top come side activities, mini-games, skills you can unlock, and hidden objects that open up extra images. The women have characters of their own, and you can look around broadly or focus on one.

Plenty of people treat Being a DIK as the benchmark for this corner, and it shows: the first season alone brings over 360 animated scenes across four episodes. It plays free with no download, right in your phone browser: tap, enrol, get going. Being a DIK is made by DrPinkCake, playable here in the 0.8.3 build of season one.
