History VisualNovel / BeingADIK

* BottleEpisode: With the exception of the first part of Episode 1, the entire first season takes place at B&R or in the immediately surrounding area.
* BrilliantButLazy: Derek certainly doesn't seem stupid, but he certainly has little to no motivation to do anything related to school other than partying and having a good time.

* CollegeIsHighSchoolPart2: The game takes inspiration from the college comedy genre of movies, and as such, 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.
* ConceptArtGallery: Like [[VisualNovel/ActingLessons Acting Lessons,]] the game contains a gallery feature (renamed to "Rewards") that contains each of the game's sex scenes (which get unlocked for viewing as you experience them in the game's story). Unlike Acting Lessons, however, it also contains special renders of the game's characters that can be found by looking around during free roam sections or by performing well in minigames.

* CuttingOffTheBranches: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Although the game has multiple seasons, the choices made in each season are not confined to the scope of that season; that is, choices made in season 1 could affect the story in season 2 or 3.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: Averted. The protagonist's face is shown very often throughout the game, unlike most visual novels.

* FullMotionVideo: All of the game's sex scenes have this, as compared to the relatively [[BattleOfTheStillFrames still frames]] that tell the rest of the story.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: One of the many minigames present in the game is Brawler, which you can play on your phone during any of the game's free roam events. It entails pressing one of four buttons to choose an attack, followed by a certain sequence of buttons to make that attack and then defend. Depending on how deep you get into the game, you can earn money, special renders of the game's characters, or skill points for the minigame itself.

* NoDressCode: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as the characters are in college, not high school, and so it makes sense that very little rules surrounding dress would be enforced. However, some of the students manage to get away with [[VaporWear clothing that barely covers their bodies.]]
* OptionalSexualEncounter: Although many of the game's sex scenes can be avoided simply by not pursuing the girl(s) involved in them, this trope is played completely straight with Quinn and her "restaurant", where you literally pay her for glory-hole sex with certain girls. You can take advantage of these encounters as little or as often as you want, provided you have the money, and you can even opt out of having the option of having them in the first place by not accepting Quinn's number.

* WildTeenParty: There's plenty of them throughout the game, with no holds barred for how crazy they get.

** In addition, season 1 does not have a single, uniform ending to go into season 2. This differs from other choice based games where even if your choices can have consequences at any point in the story, they tend to end seasons/installments of the series with the same general ending so that it is easier to develop the beginning of the next installment.

* FirstDayOfSchoolEpisode: Episode 1 starts like this, but also covers the next few days/weeks as well.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Troy, at least as of the first season. His only moment where he isn't a complete asshole is when he compliments your guitar playing, and even then he makes it backhanded so it doesn't seem like he's being nice.
* NakedFirstImpression: Always at least halfway so with Derek. From the moment you first meet him he is always missing at least his shirt, if not more.

* OptionalSexualEncounter: Although many of the game's sex scenes can be avoided simply by not pursuing the girl(s) involved in them, this trope is played completely straight with Quinn and her "restaurant", where you literally pay her for glory-hole sex with certain girls. You can take advantage of these encounters as little or as often as you want, provided you have the money, and you can even opt out of having the option of having them by not accepting Quinn's number in the first place.

* ProlongedPrologue: The first part of Episode 1 takes its time with establishing who you are and where you come from, along with some other supporting characters from your town like Josy and your father. After that first part, the vast majority of the rest of the game takes place at B&R, with some scenes with Josy and a few conversations with your dad peppered throughout.

* WackyFratboyHijinx: Much of your initiation into the [=DIKs=] centers around this, with the first task being to steal a pair of panties from the [=HOTs'=] house.

** In Jill's case, she is connected to Greek Life in general by dating Tybalt, the president of Alpha Nu Omega.

* BattleOfTheStillFrames: [[PlayedWith Played with,]] in that it's used for the entire story, and not just fight scenes. Like [[VisualNovel/ActingLessons [=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. The transitions are similar to [=DrPinkCake's=] previous work as well, where several similar frames are played in rapid succession to create smoother, more animated transitions between each pose. Inverted with some smaller scenes and nearly all of the sex scenes, which have FullMotionVideo that is improved in quality from [[VisualNovel/ActingLessons Acting Lessons.]]

** 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, they've built a solid reputation for themselves, especially considering that they've been fostering a great relationship with the [=HOTs=] since they were created.

** 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 stuck up sluts on the surface.

** 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.

* CliqueTour: When Maya shows you around the school, she points out each of the four fraternities and the one sorority on campus, which each having their own distinct qualities.

* BigManOnCampus: 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.

* AlphaBitch: Quinn to you and just about everyone else, especially if you aren't the kind of person she's actually into. Between commanding the [=HOTs=] as Vice President and taking every opportunity to embarrass people, it seems like things will be much easier for you if you don't get on her bad side.

* InteractiveNarrator: [[PlayedWith Played with]] in universe. When you start the game up for the first time, before going to the main menu, one of the girls, Jill, tells you about the game and asks you a few questions. Depending on your answers, she may suggest that you do not play the game (if you say you're under 18, in a dark period of your life, or are easily offended). There is also dialogue from [=DrPinkCake=] himself in this one-time opening scene.

* WhoWouldBeStupidEnough: Isabella invokes this when asking you about how you broke into the [=HOTs'=] house to steal a pair of panties under the orders of the [=DIKs=].

* NoDressCode: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as this is a college, not a high school, and so it makes sense that very little rules surrounding dress would be enforced. However, some of the students manage to get away with [[VaporWear clothing that barely covers their bodies.]]

* BullyMagnet: You, especially in the first events of the story.

* AllGuysWantSororityWomen: [[PlayedWith Played with.]] Although most of the girls you can pursue in the game are connected to the [=HOTs=] in some way, there are a few (Josy, Jill, Isabella, Cathy, and Jade) who are not. In Jill's case, she is connected to Greek Life by dating Tybalt, the president of Alpha Nu Omega.

* FratBro: The whole game centers around a whole fraternity of them and you becoming one as well.

That is, until you start having problems with your aggravating roommate, Troy, which ultimately lead to him kicking you out of the room in the middle of the night. Unable to secure a place to sleep for the night, you decide to try your luck with the fraternities. Unfortunately, the nerdy Beta Beta Betas don't have a house, you're far too poor and "low-class" to get in with the preppy Alpha Nu Omegas, and the jocks of Alpha Alpha Alpha have hated your guts since you walked in, which leaves you with only one option; the Delta Iota Kappas, otherwise known as the [[=DIKs=]].
