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

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

Great game overall. Cool plot, great action scenes. The 3DCG girl models look fantastic and unique for every single one, and each with personality! I'm so glad that i got to experience this and look forward to the dev's future work!

One of the best games on this site. Great characters and visuals. Really interesting, well written story that make sense and closes itself, which gives satisfaction (if you've got the right ending of course). Good soundtrack. Next game looks even better, really looking forward to it. One of the best devs here.

Ahh Carli....

Such a wonderful game and story and nothing else is expected from the wonderful PhillyGames, I immensely enjoyed the City of Broken Dreamers as well, these games/VNs are another level story and graphicwise. Coming back to this game, Thank God it's completed so I could try most of the endings. I would play it again in few months maybe to try other routes.

Contains Spoilers.

I find the plot a bit weird at first, but for a detective MC VN it's a bit Kinetic in my opinion.
I was expecting some kind of mini-games or puzzles.
The Renders are damn fine. One of the best of its kind.
I just find the animations a bit lacking something that "The Visit" nailed. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every bit of it.
The lack of 'The Dragon' Content though is killing me I found her character one of the most unexplored on the story, her motivation wasn't well described with only her past being told.
I really hope we could see a sequel of this story that you could choose from one of the endings to continue.
In any case the game is one of my favorites and would certainly recommend for others to try.

This is the first adult game I ever played, and I have to say I couldn't have started with a better one.

There is nothing super unique about the story, but the way it is told certainly is.

The images are top notch even though the game is a littler older, they still stand up.

The journey this game takes you on, all the paths and the twists and the way it can be replayed to achieve different outcomes is very interesting. The girls are fun and it's simply an enjoyable experience.

If you have played this you are indeed missing out.

Hype can be quite a devastating thing. I was very hyped in playing this game. A VN based on the adventures of a PI and a dark tone? Dude I'm so in! And I heard a lot of good things about it too.. but it just wasn't for me. I don't know if it gets better, but I couldn't finished the game.
When your create a world, this is not just game related, but entertainment medium in general, and you put a strong defined character in it, let's say, an ex-cop and now private eye, you start to expect certain personality traits and actions, again, the dangerous hype.. but sadly, those expectations aren't met here. The MC could just drop the eye and be called "private" since this is the only thing he cares about, other's people privates. Until the point I played it was just a series of "Hi, let's fuck".
There is a point early in this game where you have to save a girl that was taken into a build. The way the MC acted in the scene was completely insanity. No ex-cop, PI, anyone remotely connect with the law would do that, that completely took me out of the game and made me quit and I'm a horny fucker.
It's kinda hard to rate something you didn't complete, it should have a rating like "I quitted" or something in here, but it just wasn't for me.

This is most definitely One of The best Novel's I've played so far, i loved almost everything except that there was no story about MC's Wife, that's the only thing i disliked but in overall this vn was a blast. Looking forward to reading your next novel.

Story was really good and very carefully written.
Overall Gameplay experience was very good.
Characters were Prefect.
Contents, animations were really good.

One of the best completed visual novel out there. A thriller-noir story with intriguing plot, powerful visuals and atmosphere, great soundtrack; deep and realistic, lovely and hateful characters.
Unmissable.

Graphic 9/10
Animations 7/10
Sound 10/10
Story 9/10
Dialogues 10/10
Women 10/10
Sex scenes 9/10

Its a master piece all of the renders r amazing and the story line is simple awesome i recommend this game to people who like thrillers . All the characters are awesome . You have lot of choices to make in this game which is a plus point . i enjoyed the game a lot .

Absolute Gem of a Game.
Great Plot Structure, Real Branching Narrative Choices, Well defined Character, Sexy Renders, Darker Tone and above everything else, a Lot of heart put into this.

This could've been another run of the mill adult game without a plot, but it feels like the sex only adds to the experience. There are times when the tone and mood is so engaging, even the sex , which the game should be about feeling just a bonus , for this is one exceptional piece of adult storytelling.

To make one care for characters, relationships and follow a straight plot without no arbitrary grinding or artificial time management, it flows naturally and the climax is well worth it.

Thanks for this PhillyGames, You outdid yourself, and you deserve the support and love you get!

This is the first time I leave a review of a game. Truly phenomenal visual novel. With crucial choices. Breath-taking story, amazing characters with depths and flaws, not simply a fuck and skip game, emotional and beautiful. I love it. Dev is amazing. It's not just another teen drama about a kid going to college and getting heartbroken or trying to join douche bags, a very beautiful game.

solid game, has an interesting storyline, a good mc, and a nice selection of girls. I thought it felt a bit quick for a complete game, and would have liked slightly more variety with the women but overall was fun, kept my attention and had a good ending. 8.5/10

High expectation and cruel disappointment. A dark detective story with multiple choices? - sign me up! In reality, it's just a "click-to-see-next-slide" Visual Novel (a.k.a. powerpoint presentation) with no gameplay, a standard "Oh, hi, we just met so let's fuck" story, weird visuals and multiple choices down to "anal, oral, end scene". Forking every girl you just met, as a way of conducting an investigation, feels very forced and out of place. There's plenty of girls here but only two romancing options (if asians are not your kink you're left with one). Uncanny facial designs take a lot from the experience. You not only have little control over MC (linear story) but also view other characters (what are they thinking or planning) which is a very strange concept for a game that wants to be a detective story.
