no need to and not in same time (same universe maybe) since da happens in ~modern time and this happens in far future.

It's a completely different story. Depraved Awakening is a bit like Sin City, this one is more Cyberpunk-ish.
Is suggest playing DA first as it is very good (and finished). And by the time you are done this game might have had another update.

If you have the time, yes. Let me explain why:
  1. Depraved Awakening is far rougher around the edges because it's older
  2. The story is more compact, but just as impactful
  3. While they are different stories, both are somewhat tragic and worrisome tales
  4. A few things from DA return in City of Broken Dreamers, which you will recognize if you played it first
  5. The final update for City of Broken Dreamers is right around the corner, wait until the update releases
  6. It's probably harder going back to DA after CoBD, so starting with DA eases you into the quality of life improvements.
  7. You don't NEED to play DA in order to understand CoBD though. If you just wanted CoBD, go for that!
Happy gaming!

Well, DA have Carli as the main LI so it's ALWAYS a good idea to go back to it!

I need a new AAA (lol) WEG to get excited about and anticipate a new epsiode every 6-12 months
head to recommendations and ask or wait philly's new game for a 6-12 months.

My man that's a damn fact carli is still best girl damn making me want to go back for a 10th playthrough.
Yeah, it's a little weird to be honest. DA was the third VN I played and there have been MANY excellent LI's since then but NONE is even close to Carli!

I'm very grateful to Philly for the amazing scene we got with her in this VN as well :)
