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

Yes the renders are great and get amazing towards the end. But it's really in service of an amazing world-building game among the best.

The (few) critics will say well isn't sex kind of just thrown around meaninglessly in this game? My rebuttal is this is really a fictional city in an alternate universe where life is gritty and sex is casual. The game goes out of its way to remind you of the world you live in: the music is dark and fantastic, if the characters aren't sexy girls they're absolute madmen or jerks who will do anything. It's not just sex, everything is dirty in this world. In this game sex is just the way people cope and you buy that because of the consistency of the theme. This is what separates it, for example, from other games that have inconsistent tone but constant sex.

Other major strengths of the game: legitimate branching paths, choices matter, a good diversity of scenario plotting.

I loved the high quality models/renders. Plus the choice of more... realistic proportions on the women seems to have made the immersion... more immersive? This is a well put together game that will require multiple plays to find everything. It was also well written and did not suffer from awkward "googlese" translations (at least the English version) that many games have these days.

AMAZING!!

This is honestly the best adult game I've ever played! Incredible movie-quality story line, beautiful 3d animated scenes, great dialog, and a variety of options during sex scenes! I played with the incest mod and once I started playing, I could not stop. Took me about 6 continuous hours to play from start to finish, and the storyline was soooo good!

I will be watching for more titles from PhillyGames. - This one was 10/10!!!

Depraved Awakening Review / v1.0 / Played with Lain's Mod

TL;DR - 4/5 - Good Story / Choices Matter / Music Adds to Atmosphere / Girl Facial Designs Take Getting Used To

What I Liked:
1) Story - It's not perfect, however, the story is dark, mysterious, and tense, and murder mysteries are cool.
2) Choices Impact the Story - A wrong choice has serious consequences and ultimately affect the MC's fate, sometimes fatally.
3) Music Adds to the Atmosphere - I like the music. It's apt and appropriate for the setting and theme.

What I Don't Hate:
1) Girl Facial Designs Take Getting Used To - For me, some of the girls have odd facial designs (ex. Kira's eyes, Mi-Do's jaw line and hair color, etc.).
2) Animations Aren't The Best - When sensual scenes occur, the bodies smashing into each other produce illogical movements (ex. chest areas and gravity).

What Needs Improvement:
1) Sensual Scenes Feel Misplaced - I felt that the scenes where just kind of thrown in there to be there as opposed to serving a plot purpose. Perhaps this is a bit too critical or nit-picky.
2) Some Underdeveloped Characters - There are a few characters I wish we could've got some background on (Carli, Matlock, Mi-Do, Kira, Christina, and even the MC). I wanted to figure out more about their motivations and knowing their histories better would've helped me.

Great story and great scenes! One the the top notch VN, every choice has consequences, and the sex is there to enhance the story as well. Now I just gotta go and wait for city of the broken dreamers to finish.

The models are beautiful, that I can say. I really enjoyed fucking the red head and I believe the diversity of boobs and asses can satisfy many

The storyline keep you there for quite a while and your actions have consequences so I had to be careful.

First game I played from Philly. God that was some dark shit for a storyline, but great, I tend to like dark stuff. Art work was awesome. His latest game City of is right on par or better then this. I'd definitely recommend playing both if you like dark shit lol.

I had a really hard time picking a rating for this.

On one hand, it's well polished, there's all those good tags on it, multiple endings, an good idea for the the world...

But on the other hand, it just didn't hold my attention... I found myself not really giving 2 hoots about any of the characters and it wasn't really worth playing for the smut as that was average at best.

I feel like 3.5 would have been fairer but there's no way of doing that... I can see some people really liking it, I just didn't much.

Excellent story, great scenes.
Bound to keep you entertained for quite a few sessions.

Scenes are thought out and fit the story, progression feels natural. The main character doesn't come off as a creep which is a big plus for me.

Will definitely replay to see what difference choices make.

Great game, theres lots of plot in here and the characters are amazing. Some very different personalities aswell. The sex is awesome too. There is one thing i didn't "love" about the game though which was you could get rough with every girl and every girl seem to like it. Its still worth a 5 star rating but it kinda makes it abit "unrealistic" that every girl got into the rough stuff.
Still though the routes were awesome too. Endings amazing aswell. Allround a great game.

Good Story - interesting enough to keep you entertained without being overly long and boring

Good Graphics - the girls were hot

Multiple Directions - story is somewhat linear but has enough choices to make it replayable; ad most importantly, no "instant death" choices (I hate those). So no matter what you choose, you will make it to the end (good or bad).

It's a fantastic game - a rare treat for those who will look beyond the fact that it's a 3D rendered visual novel funded on Patreon. It might be slightly marred by an unimaginative opposing force, but it's a mere trifle in comparison to everything else it can offer and I can fully recommend it to everyone

Full review can be read here.

This is a fantastic game. Game has noir investigation atmosphere with a bad ass but average guy private detective as protagonist. Render is absolute top class. Story is interesting and exciting. Characters are well written with different endings. Game has a lot of content. I played the game twice and second time I choosed different route of the entire story and only a few scene was common so absolutely replayable.

Dark, mature noir fiction accompanied with excellent writing. There's a corruption sub-theme but within reason. The story wants to be realistic as to immerse you, and it succeeds. You really feel like the detective who has to make the best out of a bad situation. Oh, and there's hot girls. The visuals are top notch - I really can't think of a bad point.

This game had me conflicted, its not the usual wish granting VN plot: its complex, bad things happen to characters you love. However its those features alongside the fantastic art that make this something special.

DA is the best completed game on F95 and rightfully so. Even though this was Philly's first game and you literally could see the improvement with each update, it had everything you want in a VN from the very start. Good story with plot twists, beautiful characters (except for Kira) with distinct personalities, fantastic renders and unique atmosphere. While not without flaws, this game was a very pleasant experience.
P.S. As for the girl of choice, there was no contest. Even though Carly seems to be fan favorite, Judy is the best one for me. Now that I say this, maybe I need to replay the game once more?

This game got me into adult VNs. Love everything about it. The writing is excellent, the characters are stunning, and the choices inspired me to replay many times to see all the consequences.

Some of the animations are a little janky but overall this a great game.

Depraved Awakening is a noir-esque detective-style RPG, with taboo concepts and an extreme attention to detail.

Graphics? Beautiful
Story? Intense
Choices? Ambiguous
Sex? Hot
Hotel? Trivago

Great game, interesting story with a good number of choices, very good looking girls and a likeable MC. I liked all the girls both in looks and personality that it was very hard for me to choose which one I wanted to end with. The plot was really interesting and kept me wanting to continue and know what happens next with a good mix of story and sex scenes.

My only minor problems with it were that some scenes can be very hard to get, I still have a few locked that I have no idea how to get them and


Other than that, this was one of the best games of this kind I've played, great work!

An oustanding game. A great story with of great characters and chock full of great scenes.
A lot of choices and some secrets with the depravity makes for a really good replayability and allow you to be almost every kind of MC you want to be.
Just go for it ; but remember : Hail to Carli
And go check City of Broken Dreamers by PhillyGames too
