Since I saw a few people talking about BaD and CoBD I'll leave my two cents on it.

Both games are very different in style, they are both VNs but BaD also tries to be point and click with some minigames thrown in there tho I personally dont like most of those especially when you are required to get x score just to unlock some renders which just ends up being unnecesarily tediuos and does not really improve the experience (at least for me).
I did like the mansion minigame tho its terrible if you want to do multiple runs since even if you are following a guide you gotta do a lot of management every time.


In what regards amount of lewd scenes between both games I think its a mix of the characters, setting and even the MC.

In CoBD most if not all the characters are already adults around their 30s with only a few exceptions (Abby, Chandra and Gloria). The setting is a cyberpunk world where you are a mercenary tasked with finding a girl thats special and that you share a strange bond with. And last but not least the MC is a rough mercenary who is dealing with some trauma from one of his last jobs, its also worth mentioning there are plenty of oportunities where they show how MC isnt the best or strongest so saying he is some "super secret agent" isnt really accurate (at least if you are picturing James Bond style secret agents).

In BaD characters are the complete opposite with the majority being around their 20s with only a few being actual adults (mainly the teachers and a few of the strip club ladies). The setting is a young guy that goes to college and is really fucking horny. And about the MC he is poor, an expert at martial arts and even sports (only few encounters where he doesnt outright win if you beat the minigames) and also very good looking.

Now you should be able to see why there might be a LOT more lewd scenes in BaD than in CoBD =)

I personally like both games, I think they both have really good writing which is quite important if you want to make a good VN and they are both very different from each other in pretty much every aspect so its totally possible to only like one or both.
I played BaD until the end of season 2 and then I felt like I had played enough so I decided I wont be playing any new chapters (I'd go on a rant as to why but its not the right place since this is the CoBD forum) while I havent lost interest in CoBD if anything it keeps getting interesting.

I think I can honestly say that this VN has the best soundtrack around.
The visuals are striking too, but the music is quite sublime.
The guy knows how to set the mood, that's for sure. I do think that overall this does have the best visuals of any VN I'm currently playing. It's not just about the render quality though. The lighting and atmospheres just feel real, I want to say, or natural. My only dislike about the approach is that Philly tends to prioritize close or body shots. That's not to say it's a bad thing per se, but it is a personal annoyance of mine. Some other games do the same thing. It just bugs me when your talking to someone in game and they are cut off at the eyebrows instead of seeing there whole face. It's pretty glaring during conversations with Abby for example. A lot of the times you can hardy tell she has those sexy as hell horns.

A porn game with a very good story? I think you can count them on the fingers of you hand and they wouldn't arrive to five.
The only one I can suggesting you are "Depraved Awakening" (I haven't played it, but it is from the same author…), "Pale Carnation" and "Heavy Five". I would add also "Unleashed", but it is in a very early stage…

"A porn game with a very good story? I think you can count them on the fingers of you hand and they wouldn't arrive to five."
In fact I have suggested 4 titles… :ROFLMAO:

:ROFLMAO: Thank you mate, appreciate it.
If you didn't played them I may also suggest Once in a lifetime, Tales from the unending void (by Perverteer), What a Legend! (by Magicnuts), Sorcerer (by Talothral) and also Eternum (by Caribdis same author of Once in a lifetime). :)

Does anyone have suggestions for games with stories as good as this one?
Firstly, I LOVE MY PHILLY GAMES!!! You are making a tall request here as Philly is my favorite AVN dev for good reasons.
However... I do have the goods for you, my friend... I placed them in a spoiler below. This is Philly's forum after all...
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Philly Games is still my favorite AVN dev and likely always will be. However, it can be many long months awaiting a new update. So, have some fun exploring other options. They are available... just hiding amid a pile of crap! Hahaha:ROFLMAO:
I hope this helps, my friend. :) Adventure ever on, Phat:cool:(y)

stories are overrated. what matters more is how the author chooses to develop the character, I mean take a look at Treasure of Nadia, the plot is good but the dev has the game filled with bunch of useless characters who serve no other purpose than to be MC's cocksleeve, these characters werent meant that way but the lack of character development has the game turn worse for me

Kinda reminded me of film scores. Not the kind of music you would listen by itself, but it fits the story well.
I agree about the film score part.
I occasionally listen to some of the tracks like Violent Delights and Doves etc. but then I do like edm/darkwave type music.
Some of the music is just like generic type stuff, yes.
