Did you unren it?
Don't run a copy where you used unren to get the scripts unless you're a Ren'Py expert. Make a copy and run unren on that.
No, I never used unren on it. TBH I only started using unren very recently because of a game that had rollback and quicksave disabled.
When I downloaded Depraved Awakening and the WT mod both were already at the completed state, earlier this year. I really just let it sit for months and when coming back to play it didnt work, its weird.
Im now finishing the game download again and see if it works, then add the mod and try it out.
EDIT: freeshly new worked fine, put mod in still works, and thanks to renpy didnt even need to copy/paste the saves from the previous game folder.
