Don't know about you guys, but to me this update felt as such a filler episode...If the next update supposed to have some kind of "Season finale" feel, than this episode, if it had to add this suspense feeling, has been underwhelming.

I'm not complaining about NSFW scenes, just the lack of the story progression. The feel of city being on lockdown, the antagonistic company and CEO being cornered, whole "all-in" stuff was lacking to me.
Probably the worst episode so far, if you ask me.

Nice summary on Chandra - my feelings were the same as you layed out here. I actually messed around with some of the choices for the Abby / Chandra scene initially trying to find the route where I could tell Abby I was just interested in hopping in the shower with Chandra while she waited in the living room...but as you noted, that never comes, it's forced down your throat no matter what if you want time with Chandra. This setup was terrible. It doesn't take your previously declared choices / preferences into account. I like Abby, but I'm not interested in her being part of the relationship with Chandra - never have been and my choices have been clear on that throughout the game.

The scene as a sex scene, as you noted, was lit, but for players who have just been interested in a solo route with Chandra, it was not well-written at all. The pre-hotel setup was idiotic and a phone call from the MC to Chandra would have made much more sense. I asked earlier in the thread the same question you covered here in your third bit, about setting up an ending - we haven't seen that choice to setup yet like we did for Victoria, Katie, and Gloria in Ch12. Why not? Definitely want the wholesome / solo ending if there will be one, but I'm increasingly losing any faith that it's coming and heavily leaning toward not buying Book 2 of the game on Steam (Steam purchases are how I support the devs in most cases if I feel they deserve it, and on rare occasions I'll support on Patreon as well). There's still time to get back on course, but at this point I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm sorry but where did you get that Chandra was interested in having a serious relationship with the MC? The scene with Abby makes total sense based on her character and if you really dont like Abby you can just choose to not have sex with her, the choice is there.

Will there be an ending with Chandra? assume there is even LI specific ending. Because I don't see any indication for that with Chandra. But then again we don't get any indication for that in Depraved Awakening either until the end.

Honestly I have no idea but I assume we will get a "solo" ending which might have Chandra and/or Abby as friends with benfits tho Abby does give me some serious relationship vibes. That ending might also include Shanlon/Teri tho its just conjecture, some serious stuff is about to happen on the last episode so some of them might die.

By her being an official LI in the game. If she was just a non-serious side girl she would not have been elevated to LI much earlier in the game's development.

And no, the scene with Abby doesn't make a lick of sense. When Philly gave the player options earlier in the game on whether to do things with Abby, that was the indication that she was not a mandatory part of Chandra's romance route since the player could already opt out of Abby and still do things with Chandra solo. There should have been an option here to opt out of Abby but still do things with Chandra, particularly if the player had opted out of Abby at previous points in the game.

She has been elevated to LI statut due to her popularity but objectively speaking, Philly has never treated her like one. That's a shame because it's established she always had a crush on the MC and she could have played a way bigger role in the story by the mere fact of being Meredith's daughter. There was something in EP3 ( probably her most intimate and meaningful episode with the MC ) but after that she was just written as a booty call. She made sporadic appearances but their relationship has never evolved beyond fun sex sessions. I'd have love a more meaningful relationship as well but we take what we can get. :(

Yep I agree completely. The writing has been pretty subpar with her. I'll be curious to see what he does. If he doesn't write a solo ending for her then I'm not sure why he ever elevated her back in the day as it will ultimately just look like he baited and switched people who wanted her as an LI and I'd like to believe he wouldn't do that to his customers. We'll see how things end up.

came here for the futa tag, how much futa content there is?
Just the VR scene which came out when the game came out years ago. No new content since and probably never will be more content given the pretext of that scene itself. That or unless there's something more that I'm not aware of, otherwise yeah that's it if you're strictly here for that considering it's only makes up like less than 50mb for a otherwise 13 gigs worth of content in its uncompressed form.

Nobody can blame you for thinking that coz that's truth.:cautious: As a big fan of Philly's art and his 2 games (DA and COBD), I'm also really disappointed with how the story unfolded in the last few chapters, especially with the sex scenes that seem repetitive, and most of them even plain boring, like some users said... not even Shanlon's scenes have that 'it' factor to spice things up anymore IMO. Victoria and Shanlon (for those players who play her route) are supposed to be the most experienced and perverted, kinky, open-minded, whatever you wanna call them, women in the whole game, but their scenes got boring pretty easily, since there's not much new stuff to see, not even on Vic's spellbound path.

About the story... sadly, things don't look so good. Either Philly doesn't know how to continue it coz he suffers from writer's block or got burned out after working on so much stuff for the game and those rewards for his high tier supporters. There were a lot of things you mentioned in your post with which I fully agree, and it's really disappointing to see the big potential the game had till Book 2 was released being wasted in every new update. I find it kinda funny that I expected to see the MC and his group already infiltrating Baynard and do some damage, given how Ch12 ended, but instead we got another delay for the next chapter and more sex scenes that seem out of place. Personal opinion.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong on this, but I'm not so optimistic about seeing a good, satisfying and logical ending after all those recent fuckups.:unsure::cautious:
I agree with you. I am also a big fan of Philly's games and I am also disappointed how the story of City of Broken Dreamers is unfolding in the current two last chapters.

COBD is current kind of a brazilian novel, with plots that never unfold until the final chapter. :LOL: :LOL: Just kidding!

But serious, I think the plot of COBD could be have more "elaborated", with branches for diferent routes, depending on the MC's choices. I mean, the "depraved" path, for example, is supposely to be the more kinky and "bad' route path, but it is the same as if you choose be in romance path with any girl.

As you say, the sex scenes are becoming repetitive and not even Shanlon sex scenes are that kinky anymore. About possible threesome between MC, Shanlon and Victoria, I feel that will happen but just as an ending bonus scene, I think.

And just to close my reply, I do have some ideas to create some interesting scenes if I would be the script guy of the game.
