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

v1.0

Depraved Awakening is truly a classic that needs no introduction from what I've seen on here, and that's absolutely correct.
The noir/ hard-boiled detective plot, the cast of unique characters, and the tongue-in-cheek humour all make it a timeless classic

H-scenes
Overall the animations and statics are simple but hold up well thanks to exactly that. It was released several years ago after all.

The "worst" complaint you will find is that it visually can feel somewhat dated due to the models being commonplace now.

Mostly vanilla in terms of kink variety; though plenty of anal, lesbian, and threesome content.
You'll especially love it if you enjoy dirty talk or being called "Daddy" (though there's the option to change it to whatever honorific/title you prefer)

In conclusion: If you want to enjoy a compelling noir/detective story, with a great plot and fun "plot"-- all while being called "Daddy" like your life depends on it. Absolutely play this classic

Good renders, but some forced sex scenes are annoying, and omg why I can't get rid of Christina.
Christina and Judy sex relationship is so forced and come of nowhere, apparently I cannot get Judy without Christina meddling in my bussiness.

One of the all-time classic adult VNs that I'd played through many times, but never really played through thoroughly until today.

So, here's my review;

It's really, really good. Especially for its time, in a quickly evolving genre.

The Good;

The renders and character models. Though the renders aren't A+ elite, they are certainly very good. I enjoyed the looks and body proportions of almost every character in the game. Especially Christina. Kira is super hot as well, though some of the faces she makes are a bit jarring at times.

The lewd scenes are super spicy and still hold up today. A lot of kinky shit in them which is always a mega plus for me. Take notes, other Devs, vanilla is (almost always*) boring.

The writing and overall plot are very good. I really enjoyed being a detective in a seedy town, and the Dev does a good job of having that part of the city shine through. I also enjoyed the small immersive stuff like reading through case files such as police and toxicology reports. Makes the VN feel like LA Noire with steamy sex.

Random notes:

NTR warning with Christina. The game gives you an on/off option, however, and she isn't a love interest at the time anyway, so it's not truly NTR, but I can see some people getting salty about it anyway. So, warning.

Also wanted to note that I wasn't sure if I liked the MC or not. He's a sleaze with a clear impulse issue, but that's clearly what the Dev is going for, so counting it as a "bad" thing wouldn't be fair. However... (see my small complaints section)

Small complaints;

The MC is way too creepy with Judy. I'm personally not into the sleep kink stuff at all, so I skipped past that shit every time. And there is a lot of it early on, sadly.

Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this VN. It's a highly-rated classic for a reason. Check it out, asap.

5* (Realistically 4.5, but, ya know)

Good:
Cool story (detective settings, dramatic, and intense), renders are great, unique faces, beautiful girls, proportional body, score points mechanism, different option leads to different sex scenes, no need incest patch the dialogues itself already good and fitted the situation/relationship.

Bad:
Few typos

Big thanks to and modder Maim Lain

There is lot of fucking, so there is that. Only thing I didn't like was the MC and Judy, I generally don't like daddy-daughter porn, I mean it's 100% jerk-offable but I didn't like how MC creeped on his daughter, that is so not my thing, there was no love at all. But that's the title, everything is depraved. But I liked how MC apologised to Carly and Mido after having rough sex, but the asshole didn't do that to Judy, his daughter, that I didn't like. Judy is soo adorable and beautiful, I wish she was MC's sister or a friend or something.

A crime story with a former policeman now Private Eye as the protagonist, that can only be good, right?
How much I was deceived by the many good reviews.
This game is wrongly accused of being an interesting and well thought-out detective story. Instead, it's just a glorified teenage wet dream ..

I looked in vain for character development or passion and the story was boring, although the premise was actually promising.
Probably what bothered me most was the loveless and very forced relationship between the protagonist and his stepdaughter.
The MC was just a drooling lecher and Judy an emotionless doll, no love neither emotionally nor sexually ...
I am rather averse to father daughter fetish and would have liked to be able to choose a normal loving relationship that is based on trust and not on sexuality.

Perhaps one or the other might think that I am a little harsh or irrational, but the feelings I experience while reading are more important to me than visual stimuli alone. Without a good story and character development, I can't rate a visual novel as average. 2 points for idea, music and visualization.

v1.0

Good :
- An interesting story
- Nice graphisms
- Good animations
- Nice gameplay (VN)
- Lots of choices
- Lovely girls

Bad :
- The game crashed a few times
- No side content
- Story is a little bit too sad

Great game!

- Good story! It's a little short compared to other games, but I think it fits well with the narrative.

- The sex scenes are very hot, the animation could be a little better.

- Some girls are beautiful and well made (Judy, Christina, Mid-do and Stella), but the others are weird. They are too white and less realistic.

- I recommend playing with the walkthrough mod, it will lead to the best scenes, including the amazing threesome bonus at the end.

v1.0

The MC is a bit of an asshole and even though there's something of an explanation for it later it still grates on me. Overall I just couldn't get into the writing. It's hard to connect to the characters. The models are okay though.

My review for Depraved Awakening v1.0

It's a great game that is driven by a titillating, action and sex filled story that is accompanied by great graphics and animations. The women and sex scenes are hot. Each characters are well made and presented to fulfill their specific roles in the story. The way that the player's choices affect the story is also great. This is definitely one of my favorite games and obviously one of the best out there.

The models are beautiful. The story is great and engaging. The animations are great. Lighting set the mood like an old mystery movie. The game performance is great and I got no glitches or other unwanted issues.

Overall great game!

Plenty of content, great renders, good story, different kinks. What else could we ask for? It's no wonder that this is one of the best rated games on f95 right now.

5/5 would recommend

A really enjoyable ride. TBH even though I've read plenty of AVN I was a little disappointed that I never actually found 1 that aligned with my 'specific' fetish so I'm really glad I found this. This is exactly what I was looking for. The sex is the best part no it was just 'Fan-fucking-tastic'.The MC was a cool dude(may be a lil toooo perverted at 1st) & all the girls were really good too my fav being Carla & Judy. The story was actually way better than I anticipated especially with a few good plot twists. Character models were gorgeous & sex animations were smooth as fuck(I loved it)

Enticing Storyline, unexpected turn of events combined with a mystery solving quest. Great endings (each has its own meaning). It's just PERFECT.
And ABOUT OTHER THINGS:
Amazing models, 10/10 Animations and there isn't one Scene that doesn't impress me(one of the things that I look forward to most in a game)
*Absolute Perfection*
WELL DONE PHILLY GAMES

I can definitely understand why people would give this game 5 stars., but for me for some reason, I just didn't get into it the way I thought it would. The renders are great, there is a girl for nearly everyone's tastes, and the story is interesting. The game deserves the praise, but in the end, I just have to say it wasn't for me.

If you like detective stories then the game is great. Otherwise it doesn't really land anything else. There is a mostly linear story with a few diverging points, with decent art but nothing too impressive. Not much in terms of gameplay.

The game is however from 2018, so I expect this was a great jumping point for the creator, and their new games are likely much better.

v1.0

Doesn't really appeal to me. The build up feels all wrong and rushed. Also the way the MC instantly calls the women sluts in the dirty talk doesn't really do it for me. Plenty of people appear to like it, so give it a shot and if you don't like it initially, for the reasons I brought up, you most likely won't change your mind if you push through either.

Amazing game, one of the best adult games.
Very good renders, even if not the best ones (I loved Christina or Stella or Mi-Do, but other girls are not so fine), but the story is really well written, it seems to be in a noir movie.
The choices really affect the storyline, there are multiple narrative paths, and you can see the result of your choices in an immediate way by the stats' system.
Some narrative choices are a little weird (the villains are almost stereotipycal), but some other ones are really good (finally a story with a explanation about because many characcters are constantly horny).
Maybe it's a little short (less than a week of play and you can finish it), but it's really worth of the time,
The sex scenes are awesome, particularly the threesomes.
Special mention for the music, really perfect for the atmosphere of the game.
I really hope that the DEV can make other games like this one.

Masterpiece...

+Story driven game
+Incest
+Amazing renders and a lot of animations....
+Interesting and colorful characters...
+Choices which affect the story
+Perfect pace and superb writing!

Well the games is among the top of the top....and it's just understandable why...the game creator is the one behind "City of Broken Dreamers" (arguably the best story driven game in the site).

Amazing game that everyone on the site should've tried/try.

GREAT one played after long time. Great characters and visuals. Outstanding Music. Really interesting, well written story that make sense and closes itself, which gives the overall satisfaction. Highly recommended
