So let's say I have two clients in my game, but I am working on one PC. How can I test to see if both sides are working as they should?

Hi @Sami,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

As @OneManArmy hinted: you can run as many build clients on one machine as you want.
You can also use Unity Editor and builds on the same machine.

I can just build as many executable as needed. But then I lose the debugging ability and it takes time. I was wondering is there a better workflow?

Windows symlinks. You can create more instances from your Editor. https://support.unity3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003118426-Running-multiple-instances-of-Unity-referencing-the-same-project
