How do I unlock scene 24 in the gallery before the scene with the two random people in the lab in chapter 7

by making different choices.

It's an incredible game but I wish we had proper ending with Sonja and Abby&Chandra duo.

I reviewed this game several years ago and played it for the third time, this time with the completed version.

The game didn't quite gain the popularity of games like 'Being a DIK' and 'Eternum' even though I feel it's close to the same level as both of those games (perhaps just a half a notch lower overall).

Things that I noticed that held the game back a bit IMO:

• Lack of variety with the music. The same three ambient music scores play on repeat throughout the entire game. Mind you, they are great, but heavily overused. No vocal music at all in the game which is interesting. It's all ambient music scores with little variety.
• Too many of the sex scenes feel forced and lack passion. It's like the author said, "OK, 15 minutes of playtime has gone by so it's time to have a sex scene now." Probably only four sex scenes in the game were immersive, engaging, and passionate IMO. Far too many of the sex scenes didn't feel like they started naturally. It's like, "Want to bang?" "OK, let's do it" - 90% of the time. This results in far too many sex scenes feeling emotionless and disconnected.
• The author subscribes to the false notion that a guy can only cum once and then sex is over. During several sex scenes the MC cums one time and it says that the LI drained his balls. I'm not sure why realism is abandoned here. Guys in their prime who are super fit can cum up to 7 times per day. I know because I did it myself in my early 20s with a horny girlfriend.
• Lackluster/rushed ending

It's still a 5 star game but could be better.

hey guys for the next game , philly must take a lot of effort, because if you would play COBD in the year 2025 as a new player
and compare it with games from vinovella, inceton Games, or the renders from Joraell latest game 2018 / ver 1.01. Full
this game looks like kindergarden...
some more critic thinkers come get in here in the last chapters....is that so bad???
please don´t understand me wrong. COBD is awesome for his own.
i hope his next game will progress with the future time in story and grafics.

1. music costs money and some free music can't be used in adult games so can't be helped.
2. wellmc ain't in his 20s.
3. true.

Emh, why didn't you just edit your old review, like a rest of the mortals?

Emh, why didn't you just edit your old review, like a rest of the mortals?

Because the review is so far back in the review list that almost no one will read it. Players will sometimes read the last few pages of reviews but rarely beyond that. I'm not sure why I need to explain this... Trying to join the forum police?

I understand the the author is working on a new project and he has a better chance of seeing my comments on this forum (if he even visits here) than a review buried half a dozen pages back in the list which he has most likely already read.

3. true.

1. It can very much be helped. Other authors don't have this issue (lack of variety with the music). It just takes more effort than what the author was willing to do with the music.
2. You're missing the point.

Completely agree with this, never wrote a review (been lazy and shy so far , should start doing them, already "comfortable" enough with this community in general to write some) so no idea if you edit one if bumps to the top or not, if it doesn't it should though.
And yes I always check a few reviews before starting a new game and never ever I went back more than the page before the last because I want to read the most recent ones, not some that were written when the game was way back in the development phase it is when I check them. So your statement makes complete sense.

Hello everyone, I have a question. In this thread, does the game version match the one on Steam? Does it include only "City of Broken Dreamers: Book One," or is "City of Broken Dreamers: Book Two" also included?

You’d better forget about Steam. Here is the full game from the developer, based on the Patreon version. Steam only has half of this content. The Steam version will only be complete when the second book is released there, which will include the remaining chapters already available here.

Book 2 will be released on Steam in three days if you want to complete the collection .

 

[moskyx]

Actually, the Book 2 will be released this Thursday on Steam. Not sure how it works in terms of payment to get the full game there (Book 1 + Book 2)

 

[flaviopaganini]

I know, I'm just waiting for the release to continue the story, since I only got up to the events of Book One.

 

[flaviopaganini]

Actually, the Book 2 will be released this Thursday on Steam. Not sure how it works in terms of payment to get the full game there (Book 1 + Book 2)

If you already have it, you should get the second one with a discount of 10% to 15%.

book 1 costs x bucks and book 2 y (or v if gets discount) bucks

One of the things the author does better than nearly everyone is the lighting and shadowing. The dev really shows off his excellent rendering skills here.

Vinovella's and Inceton's renders look way better than this kindergarten attempt of a game
