Extremely short and the choices you make don’t make much of a difference at all. Funny story, though! ### 5/5 — Good fun! *2017-12-28, version 1.2.0* Fun, but ridiculously short! ### 3/5 — Not bad *2015-07-04, version 1.1.1* The game is fun, but really short. It doesn't feel quite as interactive as the other choice of games ### 2/5 — A bit underwhelming and too short. *2015-03-07, version 1.0.3* This is probably the weakest 'Choice' game I've yet played, with a plot veering confusedly from academic ambitions, jungle adventure, and partying antics. Unfortunately not worth the investment. ### 4/5 — Fun Adventure *2015-01-14, version 1.0.3* 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. ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2014-10-25* This was just so much fun. Loved the humour and casual tone! Very enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Dr.Jones...I presume...? *2014-09-05, version 1.0.3* 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... 👏👏👏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏👏👏👏 ### 4/5 — Solid and Personalized *2013-11-30, version 1.0.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-08-06, version 1.0.3* It's a great game. ### 1/5 — Very Bad *2013-07-02, version 1.0.3* 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. ## Frequently asked questions about To the City of the Clouds ### What is this app about?
