I find it pretty hilarious when some people try to act like literary critics here. I mean, come on, these are porn games! What do they expect? A freaking William Gibson cyberpunk novel? That said, COBD story is one of the best I've read among other AVNs on this site.
There are plenty of games here with actually good writing.

I am not saying this is a bad game. I am just disappointed because I remember playing this game for the first time when only the first 2 or so chapters are out and thinking how good it is. This was the first game I played on this site that felt like it was more than just a porn game.

In fact it was so good that I kept playing it even after I was done jerking off (the highest compliment a porn game can get).

And now finally finishing chapter 15, I can't help but feel sad about how bad the writing comparatively starts to get after the halfway point.

I really hope that Philly will hire a writer for his next game to work alongside him. Philly is one of the most talented avn game devs and he's probably one of the most respected ones here, but there's no shame in hiring someone to help him. Not replace him though obviously. I still want him to write it but someone else to write it alongside him.

I see what you mean. Sorry, I just had no idea there were people who really appreciate the writing in these adult games. I totally enjoy a good story too, and when I played COBD, I didn’t have a disappointing experience at all—maybe because I played the full version in one year.

I just played chapter 14. Yet to play 15.

Does anyone else feel that the writing gets more and more retarded every chapter after like chapter 6 or so? Maybe 7? Idk. It's just so fucking disappointing. Just so fucking disappointing. I can't believe that years of hardwork and hype culminated into this.
I would not call it retarded, but there is some quality drop in the story in the last few chapters even. Besides still disapointed how Chandra was just used as bait but never got her own ending...

Yeah I think it's pretty common, from my observation around the half way point of the development of a game devs tend to lose steam, passion, and just burn out etc. I can't say for sure if that's what happened in this game but I agree that around the middle chapters the game doesn't click as much as the first couple did.

Not to say the game is out right bad especially compared to a lot of the dreck that gets put out.

Im still shocked this isgetting 5 stars :cautious:
Must be from friends or fake ids.
Yeah, well there is also the chance that it is a good game, and people actually liked it. Shocking, but still more likely than your suggestion. Do you have enough friends or fake ids to affect a game's rating?

I know you have a different opinion, but there's an old saying about opinions that probably applies here.

Who is "they"? You do know that the developers can't remove reviews. Neither can ordinary posters.

Your characterization of those removed reviews is just as opinionated as you original post.

That, and I just checked: there is a 1-star and a 3-star review on just the first screen of reviews.

mods, staff and admins and if review has been deleted then either user is gone or mods saw review as against rules.

I usually check reviews and this game has not even been reviewed as many times as you suggest in the last couple of months. Only forum mods can delete those reviews, but any user can report them if they fail to comply with the general rules - which happens quite often when someone gives a bad review to trash a game.

This is not a reply to you, just general info in case someone were about to believe you.

Although the final part of this game might have disappointed and caused some frustration, it's important to evaluate a product by comparing it to other similar ones you know. And considering the vast array of Visual Novels available on the market, doesn't this game deserve five stars compared to them?
