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

Visually speaking, this is possibly the best game on this site with consistent progress. The story line is ambitious but the dev manages to pull it off. Easily top 3 games on this site. This is a review of chapter 9

Just a disclaimer, I've supported Philly for about a year now.

CBD is the most polished game, by far, that I've played on here. The renders and animations are excellent. Lighting really well done! It's a beautiful game to look at.

The characters are all pretty interesting, and they're built up well inside a fairly interesting story. There is some good humor and some serious and sad moments, and with the writing being so good those moments hit home.

I am a player who kinda like the slow play in games, where it takes time to get to the sex with characters, to build actual relationships with them. Philly does a nice job of mixing that up. With some characters, most I guess, whom you can just hop right in bed with, and others who are much slower and feel a little more natural.

It's a game that is definitely on the must play list on this site. Even if a heavy story isn't your thing, you should play this game just based on how nice it looks, and how hot some of the scenes are!

I wouldn't be surprised if a huge media corp like Netflix or HBO straight up signed a million dollar contract to use this game as the flagship to its new Adult-Games branch. It has that Triple-AAA-production-value vibes.

Probably the most top tier adult game I've played in quite a while. Everything about this is Quality Stuff, including the Plot, Characters, Animations, Graphics, Choices that lead to different paths, etc. Brilliant work , Absolutely Excellent.

A great follow up on Depraved Awakening, which was already incredible in its story and graphics. Now this game took it a step further.

The models, from Victoria to Katie to Gloria are just so damn sexy! Victoria is easily in the top 5 of female characters I've encountered in my AVN history.

This time I'm also glad the story is being more clear and easy to follow. While Depraved Awakening was sometimes hard to understand as to why exactly we took that role, in CoBD it's easier to understand the purpose of our character's role and thus makes it more enjoyable.

The only things I don't really understand are if Kay is human or an A.I. and if Vitoria is a robot. It's been very confusing and the glossary wasn't clear enough for me, since English is only my third language.

Either way I've enjoyed playing the game and am excited to see what the future updates will bring.

I made the choice of romance approaches on Katie, Victoria and Ellen, so I'm really curious about what's going to come at me, since I also want to see some action with Gloria - aside from those dreams.

10/10 game.

Another masterpiece from PhillyGames after DA and although the story is still ongoing in this game the quality is even better than DA. And I am positive that the next one would be even more gorgeous. I would await the completion of the game so that I could play it again to the end.

Not for me, none of the girls are attractive (especially the faces) and the story is boring. The implementation of the routes is mostly bad as it is designed to make you miss things, not make actual choices (with a few exceptions).

Definitely in the top 3 of best games on this site! The game does everything extremely well from the renders, to the story, to the writing, etc. The game has excellent character development and you really connect to the various personalities in the game.

The game is a masterpiece in virtually every way! I don't give out this type of praise very often. This game sets the bar so high that few games on this site can match the quality.

The game has a good blend of story and sexual content. Usually stories this good lack sex content but this game has both.

I highly recommend the game and strongly encourage others to give it a try!

Awesome visual novel with good story and some thought provoking elements not to forget the awesome h scenes the content thus far is quite full of quality dev shows so much improvement compare to his previous game all in all this is a fantastic visual novel. ps i am rooting for a harem ending lol

This game/vn has hella sci-fi vibes and i love it. The character work and writing is top notch... Sexy girls with actual personality in turn makes replaying it NOT feel like a chore. A+ BEAUTIFUL renders. Also the soundtrack is A+ adding to that awesome sci-fi feel. Give this one a try you wont regret it.

Stunning visually, aurally, thematically and in terms of its storyline which is fully engrossing. The atmosphere resembles the futuristic, dystopian world of the original Blade Runner. This is, for me, the best visual novel currently out there. It sets the benchmark for this whole genre. More story than sex which is sexier than "more sex than story" from my perspective. Without any sex, this would still be an excellent adventure (NOT a reference to Bill and Ted!!!).

This is the first time I don't care about paths or how choices matter.
The story is so damn good. Like a bestseller scifi novel.
Renderers and musics add to the atmosphere well.
There are some nice animated scenes too.
Great job, like a pro games studio maker.

One of the best visual novels

Models of the characters are high quality
Renders are gorgeous
Animations are amazing
Music is good
Story is well written and very intriguing
Choices actually matter which adds replayability

This game is one of my favorites so far, basically futuristic Sci-fi and everything with it we wish for, thriller, action, and no less important sex ,a lot of it, sorry for mistakes i'm not native english speaker but i can read and appreciate one excellent novel. Nice work Dev!

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.
