To the City of the Clouds

The game is fun, but really short. It doesn't feel quite as interactive as the other choice of games

This Choice of Game isn't as in-depth or well thought out as some of the others, but I find it fun all the same. It's one of the funnier ones (that I've played so far), and I enjoy it still after several play-throughs. I do wish it were longer, but it's fun anyway.

If you ever wanted to be Indiana Jones well this is the one for you. This story is a lot of fun with racy humor and adult themes. Plenty of jungle adventure,culture shock and dangerous stuff. As for "unhappy endings"; you can steer clear of them; if you choose too play it safe. But what the heck ...get reckless and break bad all you want...lol I read these types of books as a kid and always found them very entertaining. Nice to find they've found their way back for my future enjoyment. P.S. I've played several times and haven't had a bad ending... 👏👏👏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏👏👏👏

What I love about this game is that it plays out a classic fantasy that all adventure fans have: The Treasure/Artifact Hunter. The game takes great care in forming the player's character personally and physically. Also, this is a great concept and it has many exciting moments. However, the story feels somewhat rushed and through the actual journey. Understanding that this does allow for quick and multiple play-throughs, there is a huge chunk of detail missing that could keep even the most distracted readers engaged until the end.

City of the Clouds is probably one of the worst games in the COG lineup. The storyline felt extremely rushed, and towards the ending it made very little sense and it was hard to keep up with what was going on. I died all 5 times i played. This game was very short too, nothing compared to some of the longer ones like heroes rise. Also, pretty much no matter what you chose, your character ended up as an alcoholic and sex addict. Overall, this game gets 1/5 stars. It was a complete waste of my hard earned $1.99. Give this one a miss and go for broadsides, dragon, zombies, or treasure seekers.

Loved this game. Played through twice and loved playing it the second time after learning about the Incas. A little bit innapropriate and funny and the ending is very exciting. This is one of my favorite COG and well worth buying!

Could play numerous times and never repeat the same story. Very creative.

This game had very funny writing and a fun story though I felt it was a little short.

The 1980s were the Golden Era of Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) novels. A child of the '80s, I fondly remember collecting and reading over a hundred of these simple books, usually during summer breaks and in between the time commitments made to Tolkien, Bradbury, and Asimov. If you're on the market for a novel with strong characters, takeaway value, intricate metaphors, and rich context, then you shouldn't be picking up a CYOA. Rather, the chief attraction of the CYOA is the reader's stake in the outcome of the narrative. That is, at various points in the story arc, the reader is given a choice, and each choice begets more options, ultimately leading to a particular conclusion. The book can then be re-read with new choices and new outcomes. Formatted for the smartphone, CYOAs are now even more interactive than their older, text-based counterparts, affording opportunities for the reader to enter story-specific information (e.g., the name of a character) as well as a much-expanded set of options and outcomes. Importantly, readers should not have high expectations for CYOAs. They were originally intended for 10-15 year-olds, meant to be light fun, and always intended to engage young imaginations. To this end, "To the City of the Clouds" does not disappoint. The subject matter is most definitely intended for an older teenager and young adult audience; several adult themes (booze, sex, etc.) are touched on in the story arc. And that's exactly why I picked it up in the first place. "To the City of the Clouds" lets me relive the lighthearted fun of a CYOA all the while lightly referencing experiences and vices I've accumulated since the 1980s.

Reminds me of the choose your own adventure books. Enjoyed the writing
