VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Depraved Awakening [v1.0] [PhillyGames]

High expectation and cruel disappointment.
Story could be better, especially in terms not to force you to dislike MC from early beginnings (unless you have "thing" for MC acting like horny bunny with widows). There goes big, big, extremely big minus for unavoidable content and absence of option to refuse that, let's be nice and say - chick.
There are a lot more "holes" in the story, which just can't be named. There is also a lot of boring jibber jibbrish, which it seems to be there just to increase number of letters and prolong duration of gameplay.
Characters (including MC) are mostly shallow and dislikable.
Renders are from extremely good to, let be nice again and say - questionble quality.
Game mechanics are only good part of this game, cause there are no bugs and it is nicely designed.
Deleted and soon to be forgoten.
Advice for others - avoid.

One of the best game i have ever played it'S hard to find game like this + very good story and deep characters, i wish we can see other game of the same publisher in the future,thanks for the game

The game has a great, noir atmosphere. The story and characters are very memorable (and pretty hot), and the soundtrack is actually incredible in its resonance and ability to tie the rest of the game together. I would highly recommend this game if you're looking for a deeply story based game that still has a plethora of hot sex scenes.

[VN] [Ren'Py] [Completed] Depraved Awakening [v1.0] [PhillyGames]

The story is done well but what is good about this EGame is the intense atmosphere at times and visuals/art that are done with care (yeah there are some failed renders too ), private detective role is done great and would have been even better if it was not for some strange vibes with mc and other girls (it's like he is some sex demigod or something )... also some "choices" and some characters (mostly what they say or even do) and erotic scenes simply don't make sense or at least to me are weird or could have been better. Oh one more thing, the good guy or faithful only path should have been more rewarding.

- Story 3.5/5
- Gameplay & Choices 3/5
- Characters 3/5
- Visuals & Art 4/5
- Sex & Erotic scenes 3/5

Overall rating 3.3/5 [4 star, Good EGame]

The story started great, but I thought it fizzled out by the end. I started losing interest after the whole Patrick debacle. The OST is great, the writing is good and the game feels more "mature" in it's overall tone compared to other adult games. I prefer the creator's other project to this one, but it's still worth checking out. The whole detective/noir setting really added to the immersion aspect of the story.

Masterpiece !

The story is really good, hard to stop playing, we want to know the rest of the story.
The atmosphere of the game is captivating, I love !
A crazy soundtrack.

It's more than a game, it's art.

Thank you for this game of a very high quality.

This Review is based with my personal experience with the actual and completed Version of the game 1.0 , with my specific opinions and feelings.

There already so many reviews here , I don't want to be repetitive , because everything have already been written and I'll try only with my words to respect the work that the Dev made here : This is not just an Adult Game , this is an Awesome Opera .
PhillyGames has raised the normal standard of writing a Visual Novel to another level ; nothing will be like before if somebody other will want to develop another game with a Noir/Detective Topic.
Just one think I don't agree about some other comments that I read about the less importance for gaming between the Story and Sex scenes.... Don't believe this !!! Sex scenes and rendering are Awesome and is all together Visual with writing that make this Opera a Unique Masterpiece of his Genre

Pros
-Story and plot : it's like to read a Noir Erotic book , with Choices that have big impact in the story and in the developing ; in this occasion the Author is absolutely perfect , every gamer will stay in front of his monitor to know what it could happen after
-Script : the timing of writing is right and suspense is dosed in a perfect way , with specific words at right place in the right moment
-Most of the relationships are really interesting and originally , every girls here have a different personality and behavior
-There are many different endings with completely different paths ; this make all story more interesting and not boring at all.
-All girls are amazing and really beautiful , renders are absolutely fantastic
-Sex scenes are so hot ; here rough way to make sex it's absolutely the must , if you like dirty talking is the right place to play , but in every case there are full of choices that is possible to make , so everybody can make what like more;
-The Animations absolutely amazing , made with great unique care
-Last , but not least ,the Music : like have to be in a Noir Opera , music must have not only a significance part and have to underline some important choices and events , but must accompany the player through the game ; In DA the music is central in the game and not a side dish, all themes came inside you in your feeling , maybe melancholic and sad but always right in the timing of the game

Cons
-There are no cons , but if you don't like Noir or Detective story and Graphic violence , this in not the best game to play

Overall , till now I was absolutely objective and just for all thinks I wrote before this is a not only a game worth to play , full 5 stars review , but a Massive Shining Masterpiece.
But I want to finish with something subjective to say thank you to the Author for all emotions that I had in a accurate moment , in one of the most crucial event of the game : I still remember like now the scene about one Character running in a green lawn , in the sunset , with Strings and Violins music theme; first time I played , arrived at that moment , I stay 20 minutes just me and my headphones in front of my screen without words and only my emotions and tears , alone me and the Stars ; this is is an emotion that I've have every time I think at that specif moment, also now.
So I really suggest everybody , to play this game , to enjoy , to scream , to cry , to hate , to have all this emotions that author was able to give us with a so impressive cleverness . Without any doubt this game is a pearl in the ocean that you could find 1000 miles deep.

Thank you @Philly_Games

One of the best VN that I had the pleasure to enjoy. The renderings, soundtracks, and the amount of content that the game gives to us is something that I haven't seen either on films. The characters in this game are also fantastic, but also all have their own personalities and problems. I actually felt for all of them and wanted to help them.I don't even know who my favorite girl is. The villains in this game are also fantastic

This one is between average and good!
Pros:
Variety
Story
Writing
No bugs etc
Many choices!

Cons:
Sometimes boring dialogues
Sex scenes are pretty awful
Rendering at times is a disaster!
Build up seems rushed in many occasions

Overall solid game but it gets boring pretty fast, unless you want to finish the story...

im not go lie on this but only porn game rate this got a really good story for it. most developer just make about sex and have very shitty story and not really likeable character, short i kind hope makes a sequel out of this

A fantastic game with a great storyline. The characters are quite fun and the action and mystery element keeps it interesting. Also seeing the evolution of the animations is quite interesting as it shows how much the developer has improved over the course of time. His next game is also pretty epic.

Good story (how rare) that could stand on its own without the sex-scenes. I really enjoyed how commited it was to being a good Noir.
Choices do matter, you don't feel tricked on a second playthrough.
No grinding, mature characters, multiple endings... the best I have played yet on this site... and COMPLETE!!!!

Just amazing
the story is beautiful, surprising, i couldnt imagine having fun on a visual novel "it's not my kind of games" but this story is realy exciting, hangs the players
the graphics are very pretty and the girls are very interesting and makes you want to replay to find another route with each of them

thank you and congratulations!

this game should be on steam

The scenes are decent and overarching story is likeable. The different choices are not always the most obvious, but there is a minimenu to show whether you made the right decisions for each route. There is also different story routes that you could go through based on decisions made which I really think is the strong point since it flows well in the story.

One of the best VN that I had the pleasure to enjoy. I recommend everyone to take a chance. The plot is the big deal for me at least, but the renderings, soundtracks and the amount of content that the game give to us is something that i haven't seen a bit even on films lately... I haven't got any issues with the grammar and the performance on my PC was really good.

This is one of the best games i have played. Its the perfect combination of scenes we come here for and the storyline. Its absolutely gripping and amazing.

Would really recommend anybody to see this. Please do see the genres so if you are not okay with something you might not like it. But damn this is an amazing game with an amazing story.

[EDIT] second going at this review. I was a little disappointed the first time I played the game, and left a mixed review for it. A year later, I gave it another go, less trying to find what I was looking for in it, and more giving it the opportunity to convince me about what the dev wanted to say.

So, I found the experience really enjoyable. Actually it has some great plot points, and what felt to me like forced before makes much more sense when you try to understand more the world in which the story happens.

All in all, I think it's a really great, dark and gloomy one, that you should try with an open mind. Enjoy!

Extremely good art, with great animations towards the end, very natural looking.

I enjoyed the wide variety of positions and whatnot in each scene, and lots of group and anal sex.

The "cutscenes" were a nice addition compared to other games, and the fact that there was background music was very welcome.

This game deserves every bit of fame it receives. The plot is just on another level considering it's a Ren'Py game, it's a cinematic experience. Detailed character development with tons of choices at almost every point in the plot, no matter how small the choice but it made some impact on the plot and appreciate how the devs managed to capture the choice based changes accordingly in the subsequent renders.

Sexy character Models (Graphics): 9.4/10 Overall Story, Considering choices: 8.9/10
Mojo: 10/10
Sex scenes (Vanilla) etc: 9.6/10
Fetishes: 7.5/10 (A little Rough sex and mild BDSM, Could've been awesome with toys, gags, collars, clamps)

It's one of those games you couldn't afford to miss!

This game has some twisted story to tell. I found it very immersing. it is great to see games that are not just some fuckfest, games that provide a background to characters and a good reading. The sex scenes just make it a complete experience. Good job PhillyGames ! Hope to play more games of yours.
