Ren'Py - The Awakening [v0.4.5b] [SLim Games]

This as well as its prequal are really amazing games. The idea of the xray in a lot of instances is such an amazing aspect. It was probably the thing I liked most about glassix. The art is fantastic, and the body shapes are real (decent amount of medium and small boobs). I like the direction its going with the openness to go where you want.

Overall 9/10
Really enjoying it so far and i have alot of fun with the custom names and relations as you can get quite silly. just wish the protag could have one more letter in his name

ART 11/10
has some of the best renders on this site in my opinion.

Story 9/10
Very decent so far, and i hope it keeps up.

Sound 4/10
this is where the games weakness lies imo, the voiceacting while being a nice idea isn't really holding up. the lines often feel unnatural in the conversations or are without the correct emotion in them.

This is why I stopped supporting Devs of these kind of games but instead support creators on the likes of Kickstarter.I got tired of Devs stop updating their original game and starting it from scratch again.All the money I gave the Devs seemed to be pointless when at the end of it I had nothing to show for my money but a game started once again with little to no content and a number of Devs seem to do this!At least with Kickstarter I know I'm guaranteed to receive rewards for supporting the creators!

This is a prime example of awesome game development. Story is good, (dialog is slightly lacking) characters are diverse, music is appropriate, voiced with cute sounding voice actors, art and renders are great (the animations look pretty good and probably took an eternity to render) I actually plan to fund this game. A+ Devs!

This game is really special. It combines some of the best things about many other games into one. The text is well written and logical. The artwork is fantastic and the animation makes this game really special. I also really enjoy the voice over. Most games don't have it and it really adds to the whole game. The "land lady" and the "roommate" are hands down awesome. Right now there isn't a ton of content but if this game continues, it will surely be one of the best out there.

I really like this game. Incest as always is a fetish that so many people love not sure why but we do.

The render quality is good and the animations as in when the mom talks to the MC is a very nice surprise.

Not to crazy about the voice overs but I don't hate it.

Love that you can play as another character (mom) and hear her thoughts. The little fairy is a nice touch and hopefully we get more of her in the future.
The mom and daughter are hot well so are most of the models in the game. Always a plus.

Seriously give this game a try if you have not done so.
Great work dev.

So far i am loving this!
I love the animation scenes and the voices. I am looking forward to further updates for this althought i think i would like it to be a little more difficult to "get what you want" in places.

This games youngest blondes model is one of if not the best renders in Ren'py I have ever seen. That combined with the great writing and FUCKING VOICE ACTING!!!! make this game a no brainer for me to support. Keep it up Slim.

writing is kinda weird and all over the place. "landlady" catches me peeping on her in the shower and then the game skips few days until date with "roommate"
characters are quite poorly written tbh. i just met them and they give me hj's and bj's. there is magic involved but it feels like a cheap trick so you can get some sex content. long live the princess handled the magic fey quite good.
there is no build up and character development. sis looks like to be a cool character (in future when she is (hopefully) developed) but at the moment she is just random girl giving me blowjobs, because she loves me. and looks like MC and her had relationship even before the game starts but that is not explained. i guess it will be in the future with the amnesia and shit but right now you have no idea what the hell is going on. stuff just happen, without any explanation and MC just goes with it without caring to find out anything.
animations are cool but i imagine thats why development is slow. i dont think the payoff is worth it but im not gonna complain. the voice acting sucks tho. it just ruins the game. im fine with some moans and gasps but for full voice acting you need GOOD VOICE ACTORS. and you cant hire such when even yourself are not working full time on the game. you can turn the voices of so thats good but its kinda wasted recources. which can be spend on hiring a writer, which i think this game need.
tl;dr: the writing is ruining it.

This game has great renderings which are superior to the majority of the 3d games out there right now. It also has voice, which is very rare and the only other game I've come across on this site with voice you need to contribute to the developer to get it. It also has a few animated scenes (if I remember correctly.

This game is delicious. The MC's amnesia is made believable by how the others react to him. Oh and don't skip the text! you might skip some perfectely rendered flashback.
the only problem with this game is tipical of any game where you can name the relationship between characters; sometimes other characaters might call another one by what your relationship is

Finished chapter 3 and so far the game is really good, i enjoyed the characters, story, animations and the voice acting is hard to get use to but it was good!

Art 9.5/10
Story 8/10 still early on
Characters 9/10
Sex 8.5/10 not a whole lot yet

Awsome 3D Animated and have many animated scene not only on sex scene, like everyday chat or driving a car, have voice act on one of the girl. Good story for modern - fantasy novel, sadly only Ch.3 part 1. so, it only few content now.

V0.1 Review -
This game continues to astound me even with this new rework. I think most of the content from the initial versions still happened in this new update, but the point at which the division happens isn't perfectly clear. I think the only thing that didn't happen was the haunted house scene from update #3.

Anyways, this rework is exceptionally well done. You can go places now, and unlock secret scenes, and the characters all look a lot better now, and things just make more sense. Each scene and image is way better now too, and it's obvious that special care has gone into the game. The game is now undeniably incredible, and I can't wait for what will come in the next updates.

My only dislike of the new content is that the sis/girlfriend/girl with the blonde hair, seems to be wearing a little too much makeup now... I think her face is a little too artificial now, and not as smooth as before. Anyways, she's still acceptable enough.

SLim seems to have taken from a few concepts present in Milfy City as well, which is a wise decision in my book.


(OLD REVIEW): Perfection. Everything it does, it does perfectly. This game is astounding, and one of the few games that really makes you wish for more.

The characters are perfect and believable, and although it's not clear yet just what kind of personalities they have, they're the complete opposite of the dumb bimbos in almost every other game.

The ONLY downside of this game, is that there's not enough content yet. You can complete chapter 1 and 2 in only about thirty minutes, but damn son, what a thirty minutes it is. I highly recommend you contribute to the creator, SLim Games, and give as much constructive criticism as possible.

This game and Milfy City are the two best games I have ever played on this site. This game needs a ton more recognition too, so if you want to get it into the eyes of more people, leave a review just like me.

I'm highly looking forward to the next chapters.

Great Promise, worse delivery but still enjoyable ride it was. In the end, there are many loopholes in the story which we need to fill.. with cum, love or plot. Which will it be in our case? Who knows but Dev? God? Nobody will ask him, but Dev is alive and kicking. Lets find out from the source mates.

Erotica.. 7/10
Graphic 7/10
Animations 6/10
Plot 6/10
Promise? 8/10

Genrally a good game with not so deep plot which might be confusing at first..

A lot of work is before dev to make it into a good game or even damn good one. Lets hope for the best

very nice game with a great storyline.
different story than others.
fairy concept looks really good.
waiting for the next update.
loved the game.
bigger update than the first release.
but too much yet to come.

The art and character designs are great! I am especially fond of the idea that there are two art styles which you can change within the game itself though the more cartoon-ish designs don't appear during animations. I don't mind the button mini game though it could be easier. I also see a decent amount of potential in future updates.

This is an interesting game with a fresh story line that has potential to be the best thing out there. However it also has the potential to become one of those forgotten annoying games that few people touch. Here is my review of "Chapter 2" of The Awakening.

Story 4/5 -> Considering this is early development so far, I really like the story. It's a fantasy story about faries and corruption to have sexual intercourse with different people all in order to save the faries. It's a fresh consept from what we are used to recently in Renpy games.

Dialog choices 1/5 -> What can be said about the dialog choices? Where do I begin? At first it seems with the nurse that you can choose different paths from the get go, but once you are out of the hospital, a whole new world comes to mind. It becomes yet another "Wrong choice = Game Over" kind of game, though in most cases you can see what choices go that way and which do not. On the other hand, those mini games. Those mini games can get quite annoying quite fast, especially if you have limited time, need to switch between keys on your keyboard and one of those keys you need to press is "G". For those not used to Renpy, that is next to the button "H" which is used to hide the interface, therefor loosing time in making it appear again.

Sexual Content+spelling 4/5 -> I am surprised with how much sexual content is in this game so far, even though it is only the second update (Chapter 2 tells me little as we do not know how many chapters there are going to be).

Domination/bdsm 4/5 -> Even though there is no domination or bdsm paths in this game, this game has Corruption to make up for it combined with magic. And considering this is only the second update to this game, I feel like it is happening way to fast to corrupt someone. This has both flaws as well as pros. Flaws are that it feels rushed that you can get a blowjob so early in the game, the pros are that it gets you faster to the sexual content. It's a bit of a mixed feeling for me here. I feel it to be a bit rushed but also I wouldn't want it to be blue balled like Dating My Daughter is.

Pregnancy 0/5 -> You cannot get anyone pregnant at the moment, so no points to give here..... yet.

Overall this means that I give this game 13 points out of 25, resulting in 52% or 3 stars.

I know that the dev has also made a version that does not have the mini games in it, but I feel like I should judge the game based on how the dev wants his game to be played. The dev wants to include mini games, the original has mini games and therefor it will be judged with the mini games in it.

My star rating system:
0-20% -> 1 star
20-40% -> 2 star
40-60% -> 3 star
60-80% -> 4 star
80-100% -> 5 star

TL;DR
Rated on Chapter one.

Game look very promissing in many points.
Story is well written.
models are good.
The couple of scenes there is right now are good.
MC isn't an absoblut dumbass.

Wait and see for more. But the "teaser" is worth a try if you care about stories buildup. Because it did gave me the feel of looking foward to the next chapter.

Dont know why this gme have gotten so bad review. Its really welldone, story is good, and the animations are pretty good. Give it a go, and remember this is the first demo. not much content, but keep supporting the dev, and let him be inspired by our optimisme

For the dev, sex animation i dont find so importent, its more the reading in it and some nice pictures ofcoz
