I just finished the game... it's a great game, I loved the story and the characters but the endings... seem written quickly and without much interest.
It's a shame, it would have been the culmination of a great story but it's forgiven for being such a good game, but it's a shame...

Written quickly? it took him almost 1 year for the last update and 5 years to conceive the story ending!I just finished the game... it's a great game, I loved the story and the characters but the endings... seem written quickly and without much interest.

The sad sad truth is that the story goes south after Henry dies, and it's stuffed with filler content in its second half: it was supposed to have 12 chapters, but it got stretched and its ending is totally anticlimactic.
Because if you don't have a specific style for reviews, the gods on this site see them as 'unworthy'. I've had a few reviews deleted out of nowhere.

Reading the rules for reviews also helps, like not mentioning other games, not focusing on development issues, or not focusing on just one aspect of the game (like kinks). And of course, an insulting review is not an 'honest review'. If you give a low rating, chances are some fan would report it straight away and I've seen that people giving low ratings usually fail to observe many of these rules. So, once the review is reported, mods don't really have a choice.

One thing is that it will take a while to release the update and another thing is that it´s an ending written quickly and poorly. The ending is just a sex scene and a few lines of text, as I said, written quickly and poorly. A shame about a great game with poor endings.
It´s true that the story goes south after Henry dies but with more elaborate endings it could have preserved a certain quality, a shame.

Ok, that is your opinion. For many others, including myself, COBD is a great visual novel. The story, the characters, the graphics - everything is of high quality. I have played many visual novels to have a reasonable idea of why I believe this. This game may just not be for you, that's all. Also, it didn't bother me too much when Henry died because that's when the story gets better and when Gloria could show her full powers. But I'm just giving my humble opinion, just like you did.

If you look at my first comment, a little higher up, you'll see that I said the same thing ( The story, the characters ...). I think it's a great game, I'm just saying that it could be even better with more elaborate endings.

It doesn't matter which review is deleted or which is kept, this game has slumped by a long shot & all have realized this.
Doesnt matter how many good reviews this game has on a pirate site isnt gonna change a thing

That seems a very radical take. At least in my experience, compared to other VNs this one is easily up there with the best. I rated it 4* because some aspects could be better, and I was disappointed in the ending - one of the most brief and lackluster endings. But other than that it's an interesting story, some quite well defined and consistent characters, good female models, for once MC is not a complete imbecile in his interactions (a mistake often made in VNs) but fairly realistic in relation to the world and his background, so generally a lot to make up for some shortcomings.
I have now sampled a fairly big number of VNs and this is easily in my top 10, would be maybe top 5 if not for the disappointing endings.
I recognize it's hard to draw a line between preference and objective quality, I try to focus on the latter as much as I can.
Also, the quality can't be compared to top novels or movies just because it's a lot more niche market, smaller teams / bugets etc. You don't compare an indie game or movie directly to a AAA one because budget difference may be 100x.
So someone being upset their 1 or 2* review getting deleted (basically they found every aspect of the game bad), I understand the sentiment, but that doesn't seem very honest / objective if so far from the rest...

So here's the thing. I dont have foot fetish.. But damn they look delicious!
What the hell is this?
P.S. Philly's page shows CAD$, but I see it's just $ in the payment screen. Will it drain CAD$ or $ from my account?
Philly paused all payments before his Steam release of book 2. And before announcing his new project.
He thinks it's not fair to get payments if he isn't currently working on something new.

"He thinks it's not fair to get payments if he isn't currently working on something new"
can someone please put this quote and the dev name PhillyGames on the start page??? big and conspicuous so that every other dev can see it?? if you take some other devs and see how they screw their people, this is an incredibly good example of how to do it right and fair!!!!!!!!!
