VN - Ren'Py - Completed - City of Broken Dreamers [v1.15.0 Ch. 15] [PhillyGames]

This is one of the best games concerning graphics and animations.
Very sleek UI, great looking models, exciting lewd scenes.
Till chapter 7 imho - it was 5 stars game. The story was OK, just fine for porn game - not too complicated, not too grindy. It was 5 stars game...
Then chapter 8 arrived with a fight scene accompanied by pompous and pretentious narrative delivered in bad English. If the intention of the dev was to deliver some literary gem - it failed miserably. It was just confusing and incoherent rambling.
The great graphics and animations were enough to keep the interest, yet the overall quality of the game took a big hit.

In conclusion the best way to enjoy this game is - install the scrappy mod then push the <CTRL> button , fly over the lame dialog and enjoy the lewd scenes.
You may enable rollback in order to catch the hidden clues popping occasionally.

Another great game from PhillyGames. I'll go straight to what I liked and what I did not like.

Liked:
-hot women (I like Victoria the most )
-great and unique story
-great animations (I feel like I am watching an animated movie while playing)
-hot sex scenes
-no grinding (just focus on the story as you play)

Did not like:
-can't think of any

Definitely deserves a 5 star rating. Try it, you won't regret it.

Points for content and story, although it feels lacking in the animations. It would be so much better if it did not feel like the MC wasn't just trying to stick it in every hole he bumps into. It lacks the proper emotional connections to the female characters. Even in the future i am sure that is still a must.

Graphics and renders are excellent
As stated there is a lot of content
The writing is better than average.

Animations need improvement, they are short and have no real feeling to them. Like so many others, the are rather quick and over with with little actual detail to the motions.

If the animations and writing were improved to a level where the connections to the characters both sexually and emotionally you feel it. The whole story line would be much better. As it is, it feels like a blind date and fast screw with each female character. Could be so much better.

This is the one of those real good games, that you must play. Beautiful renders and animations, good story, good music, has some secrets to find, has regularly updates. The developer doesn't have blueballs fetish, like many others(you don't have to wait 10 years for game completeion and characters relations development). And i strongly advise you to support this developer. Through the patreon or steam. It is worth it.

It is not often you play a porn game and get a fantastically written story. Characters are all their own. The only character that is copy/ pasted is the mass produced Venus, but even then the main one you meat is still customized to have its own personality to a degree. The story arc and chapter development is extremely well done. Dialogue stands out exceptionally well. It really is a great Scifi story where the only thing that makes you pause is depraved and fantastic fucking that guarantees a hard on. This may be my favorite game on this site.

Kudos to PhillyGames!
You developed a really great story with amazing and interesting characters. In addition you created excellent renderings and scenes which are very enjoyable to watch. I honestly respect the talent it takes to achieve these results.
This game has everything you would expect from a top adult game.

one of the best vn i ever played
great animations and a nice bunch of charachters well written
the story is nice thow it could be better but u can't have everything
anyway i am realy expecting a great ending to this game

Pretty good game with an interesting setting. Multiple playthroughs can be played, so give it a try. Only downside is that their updates are pretty much at the same time as BaDIK, which makes it a hard choice which game to play first when it gets updates ;-)

This is probably one of the deeper VNs I've ever played. I was impressed by the amount of work and content put into the overall scpoe of things. Very fun and engaging. Some of the best graphics I've seen. Multiple choices, really cool.

Great music and atmosphere, great renders, beautiful women, hot sex scenes and (for the most part) great characters who are fun to unfold relationships with.

(Admittedly I could live without Sonja's grating "cumb dunt" schtick, it's not as funny and sassy as it's plainly meant to be, but they can't all be winners, I suppose. Still definitely bats well above average in characterization for an erotic game. Characters like Victoria, Ellen, Gloria and Katie all really shine.)

Already looking forward to giving it a replay and finding some of the alternate scenes I haven't unlocked yet. This is really well-done, definitely rooting for the dev to be able to see it through to completion and glad I found it. Great work.

I really liked this game. The girls and the scenes are just perfect. Downloaded the game on steam after discovering Depraved Awakening which is also excellent. In love with Chandra. Can't wait to see the next chapter.

This game is getting way too little attention on the forum it definitely deserved more views than it should.
Story 4.5/5
render 5/5
animation 5/5

The only ''cons'' it has in my opinion is the theme, somehow sci fi genre just does not get as much love compared to MILF, COLLEGE and KIDDISH LOOKING game.

really enjoying this so far. the girls are awesome, the story is fun and much different than most VNs especially in this genre. The girls are very unique and the setting of the game makes every scene one to look forward to. excited to continue and see where this goes. 9.5/10

Version 1.08.1

When I saw a new game by PhillyGames I got really exited because Depraved Awakening was the game that got me into the adult games genre and especially adult VN.

So the story starts really strong and IMO this is the most important thing to nail to make people keep playing your game. It has some mystery, it looks really good and immerse you in the game instantly. I felt like I was watching a high budget production (especially with the random animations).
I want also to point that this game has a pretty nice world building, the city areas, the corporations, the different social classes, it all blends really well together which makes you even more immersed in the game and beyond just skimming through from a sex scene to a sex scene.

The characters at first seemed to me pretty generic. Yea, they had some personality but in the first hours of the game it felt to me that they were lacking some depth. But of-course after some more hours with them you got to know them better and maybe could relate more, but I think with a little bit better writing the developers could flesh out their personality faster and by that maybe made you hooked faster to their story.

The visuals are really lit! Not a bad word to say about them. The characters beautifully modeled, the atmosphere with the lighting were pristine.
Those random animations from time to time are so smooth and visually pleasing to look at. I think it was unique and add a lot to the game.
Sex animations were nice and the variety of the sex positions in most of the scenes was perfect.

I think this team is really talented and you can see how much passion and work went into it. I still can remember the dev's previous game even if played it several years ago and I can notice the improvement in all of the game aspects.

Good job!

WOW! I never cease to be amazed at this team's work. I am waiting for an update and played through here again. I love the characters, the art, and the animations. hopefully we'll get an update soon! The character development and back stories are outstanding.
*EDIT*SPOILER* THis story just keeps getting better! I loved the recent update. The chemistry between MC and the girls is palpable. I like the subtle teasing and even didn't mind the cliffhanger ending of this update. I do really wish Henry was still with us. the Bro humor between him and MC was really entertaining. they really acted like my friends when I was enlisted. just a really good story to go along with all the sex.

The story is excellent. It flows very well. The dialogues are well written for the most part, however, the dialogues during the intimate scenes could've been more "intimate". The renders are fantastic and I love the cyberpunk vibe of the game.

I did not intend for a long commentary for this one, but it may come to that. The work speaks for itself, and it is nothing short of superb. I am Johnny-come-lately to this one, but I am glad I did. This is the first review in which I have given a 5-star to, and it deserves a hell of a lot more.

The artwork is beautiful, the erotic scenes were both tasteful and well done as opposed to drenching the story and being a boring distraction (some other devs should take notes and learn from this), the storyline and writing is not only a bit nostalgic (I loved the various nods I saw in regards to several great movies), and incredibly well-written. I am not kidding when I say this was a novel I could NOT put down, and I am extremely anxious to turn the page in the next update.
Philly did a masterful job at creating the perfect setting and ambiance for this story, along with a very good music score to set the tone. It also appears we have similar taste in movies, so there may be a bias there. In fairness, the ONLY fault I will offer is some minor spelling and grammatical errors, but these tiny things pale in comparison to what he has created.

Good game with an excellent story and stunningly beautiful CG. The futuristic setting also is refreshing compared to similar games. My only real complaint is the dialogue is a bit lacking and the story can jump around a bit.
