You are a private eye in Free City. Your latest client has found himself dead. As for how, many suspect suicide, though you're smarter than that. But poking around may get you in some hot water, but then again why would you be a private eye if you couldn't take the heat?

[code]No spoilers in this review! [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]@MatureContent[/url][/code] We need to go back to story writing being the most important part in AVNs, just like it used to be and this AVN is a good example why. Depraved Awakening is made by one of my favorite AVN devs who also created the “City of Broken Dreamers” books and who puts a lot of work into the writing in his novels, and it really shows in all his work. This is an investigation-like detective story where you are the private eye trying to solve a bigger “unsolvable” case. You meet a lot of people and get to explore what dangers lie in the criminal underground of Free City. You of course meet a lot of women and it is up to you how you handle that. This AVN looked pretty good visually when it was released, but it is starting to look a bit dated now, which makes sense, being it is almost 7 years old now. it is however still very playable and I highly recommend trying it out, especially since it is really cheap on sale. ————————————————————————————— [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Help me out by following my Curator, I’d really appreciate it!![/url]
Depraved Awakening is a great NSFW game with an interesting story to follow. The game is filled with many beautiful ladies. The game is long, and with each decision you shape the story and the outcome. The game has different endings and lots of NSFW scenes to discover. Renders are fantastic, and CG scenes are wonderful. While playing, you can clearly see that lots of passion and hard hardwork went into this project. If you are looking for a good NSFW visual novel game, I highly recommend Depraved Awakening
[h2]Un Relato Noir de Investigación[/h2] En un género saturado por propuestas genéricas, Depraved Awakening logra sobresalir al combinar una narrativa bien construida, ambientación de novela negra y una carga erótica explícita que, lejos de ser su único reclamo, se integra de forma coherente en el desarrollo de la historia. Desarrollado por PhillyGames, este título es una novela visual adulta con decisiones ramificadas, múltiples finales y una ambientación que recuerda a los clásicos del cine noir, donde el humo del cigarrillo se mezcla con las verdades incómodas y la seducción se convierte en herramienta y amenaza. [b]Una investigación que huele a pólvora y traición[/b] La premisa es directa: eres un detective privado en Free City, con más pasado que futuro, y una de tus clientas aparece muerta en circunstancias que la policía clasifica como suicidio. Pero tú no lo crees. Ni lo aceptas. Lo que comienza como una pesquisa modesta pronto se enreda con figuras peligrosas, conspiraciones encubiertas y decisiones morales que pondrán a prueba no solo tu profesionalismo, sino también tus límites personales. La narrativa mantiene un buen equilibrio entre el misterio y el erotismo. No se trata de una excusa para las escenas sexuales, sino de una investigación adulta que se apoya en un tono maduro, cargado de cinismo, tensión y personajes con motivaciones bien definidas. Puedes optar por mantenerte firme en la búsqueda de la verdad o dejarte arrastrar por tus propias tentaciones. Ambas rutas tienen consecuencias, y el juego lo deja claro desde el inicio. [b]Decisiones y consecuencias[/b] La estructura de la historia permite bifurcaciones notables. Las elecciones —ya sean de tono, acción o actitud— afectan no solo los eventos, sino también las relaciones que construyes (o destruyes) a lo largo del juego. Algunas elecciones conducen a escenas sexuales, otras a finales alternativos, y muchas al peligro directo. Aunque no todos los caminos son radicalmente distintos, sí existen suficientes variantes como para justificar más de una partida. Hay decisiones que se sienten sutiles, pero acaban teniendo peso, y otras que te obligan a pensar en qué tipo de detective (y persona) quieres ser. [b]Calidad y diseño de personajes[/b] Logra un nivel de detalle notable en los renders, con personajes expresivos, entornos bien diseñados y una iluminación que refuerza el tono noir del juego. La mayoría de los personajes femeninos tienen un diseño atractivo y están modelados con esmero, pero no todo queda en la superficie: la variedad de personalidades también aporta valor narrativo a sus encuentros. Las animaciones durante las escenas eróticas son fluidas y están bien integradas en la historia. Si bien no alcanzan el nivel de una producción cinematográfica, sí resultan más cuidadas que en muchas novelas visuales del mismo corte. Todo esto teniendo en cuenta que se le nota ya un poco el paso de los años. [b]Sonido, ambientación y voz[/b] La banda sonora cumple sin destacar especialmente. Los temas ayudan a mantener la atmósfera de misterio y tensión, pero no sobresalen por su identidad. No obstante, el uso de efectos sonoros para acompañar las escenas. Aun así, se echa en falta una mayor presencia de voz o ambientación sonora para enriquecer más las secciones de investigación o diálogo. [b]Contenido y advertencias[/b] El contenido es abiertamente adulto, con múltiples escenas de sexo explícito y temáticas maduras. Algunas rutas pueden incluir violencia, abuso o traición. También se exploran elementos como el poder, la manipulación emocional y el descenso moral del protagonista, según tus decisiones. No es un título para todos los públicos, ni lo pretende ser. Pero si se entra con conocimiento de su tono y propuesta, ofrece una historia con más trasfondo de lo que su apariencia inicial podría sugerir. [b]Conclusión[/b] Depraved Awakening es una novela visual erótica que no se conforma con ser una excusa para mostrar contenido adulto. Construye un relato de investigación sólido, ambientado en una ciudad sucia y corrupta, con personajes seductores y peligrosos, y decisiones que marcan el rumbo de una historia con varios desenlaces posibles. Sus puntos fuertes son la calidad visual, el ritmo narrativo y la ambientación noir, mientras que sus puntos débiles residen en algunos tramos algo predecibles o una presentación sonora que podría ser más ambiciosa. Para quienes buscan una VN madura, oscura y con múltiples rutas, es una opción más que recomendable. Ideal para quienes disfrutan de las novelas visuales con ambientación detectivesca, personajes con capas de ambigüedad moral, y elecciones que tienen peso real. No es muy larga y tiene un buen precio en rebajas para todo lo que ofrece. [code][h2]Mentor/Curator:[/h2] https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32511459-GarsupialGames/[/code]
The adult content is all rough play, which is fine if you're into that, but it's not for me. The frequent offers to... hmm... do adult battery the player-character's step-daughter are not so fine, though. They're a huge turn-off, in fact.
Отличная детективная история с различными сюжетными линиями. Недооцененная в свое время (2017 год) визуальная новелла. Хорошая работа с цветом и освещением, замечательное атмосферное музыкальное оформление, взрослый сюжет, нормальный нарратив — всё это было редкостью в те годы, а хорошие ВН в жанре нуар — большая редкость до сих пор. Также мне понравилось большинство женских персонажей, что бывает нечасто. По недостаткам стоит отметить, что, к сожалению, в начале игры мимика персонажей и рендеры, связанные с этим, у автора, скажем так, не совсем получались) Разработчик решил не показывать нам лица ГГ. Для самой истории это не критично, а насколько это критично в плане секс-сцен, решайте сами. Вы будете видеть только хер, его руки да кусок туловища, и анимаций в первых сценах нету, они появятся только в последующих сценах.
It's clearly a mature AVN with a mature story.
The game story is fine, the animation is there but not smoothly 60fps animations, it’s more like choppy animations but that's understandable because it’s an old game from years ago. The story has several different endings depending on your choices. Achievements can be 100% if you follow the guide/walkthrough with different saves. By the way, for 2025, It is mixed. But if we were to play in around 2018, it would be a good game and don’t mind choppy animations. It’s not a high quality game anymore. Choppy animations, no sounds such as moans but music and explosives sounds, the story is average. Developers haven't released any updates or news since 2024 October on patrons, Developers could be finished and moved on with no plans for new games.
WARNING, there are no full rendered animations in this game. It uses still images in a scene of like 3-5 frames to simulate animation; that was the only let down of this game and I almost stopped playing because of it but then i started reading. The story is really good, it can get dark and twisted. Your choices really matter, most games give you options but really you are just being led from A to B, in this game one wrong decision could change the entire game and even end up causing people to die etc. Very good story, very good kinks for the somnophilas out there, and you get opportunity to ntr some dudes one in a sick way another in a really funny way and i've only done one playthrough so i can imagine the opportunities. The game is really good, completed the entire playthrough, I would give this game a try good recommend 9/10. you won't regret it, specially for the price.
Oyun eski o yüzden animasyonlar ve görseller göze çok iyi gelmiyor ama konusu çok sürükleyici. Seçimler oyunu oldukça etkiliyor. İyi bir şey yapıyorum zannederken ilerleyen zamanlarda boka battığınızı anlıyorsunuz. İndirimde alınır. Bu adam hikayesi güzel oyun yapıyor. Bir de City of Broken Dreamers var. Aynı kişinin onu da tavsiye ederim.
[b]TL;DR:[/b] Highly recommended for those that prefer action to words. [b]The premise[/b] is pretty preposterous, but no worse than most AVNs - or Hollywood movies, for that matter. And in this case it actually works with the genres being emulated. I was initially disappointed that the game only paid lip service to film noir, but in the end the blend of noir, neo-noir, action and thriller worked well. [b]The plot[/b] moves at a fast pace, alternating between a mystery and the love interests without a whole lot of fluff in between. There are plenty of twists and even a couple shocks, but the tone never devolves into maudlin melodrama. [b]The dialogue[/b] isn’t Tarantino, but it’s brisk and believable enough. We learn about the characters by how they act and react to events in the story, rather than by listening to them drone on about past traumas. The author subtly subverts stereotypes, which makes the characters both more interesting and more believable. Besides being a decent writer, the author has a gift for selecting [b]audio and visual elements[/b] that create a real sense of immersion and tension. I appreciated that the protagonist’s face is never shown, and there are some very effective, almost cinematic transitions between renders. There are only five [b]love interests[/b], but there is reasonable variety between them in terms of looks and personality. I enjoyed interacting with each one in turn and never grew bored with any of them, in part because conversations were short but substantial. Intimate scenes are both numerous and lengthy, and always enjoyable. There are scores viewable for each love interest and the ability to rewind allows you to explore various avenues - and see how they affect the scores - before choosing one. Despite that, I missed out on half the scenes available - which means I’ll be playing this again in the near future. Let’s talk about what matters most to many consumers: [b]the models[/b]. All of the love interests and casual encounters are reasonably attractive, though an occasional expression will make them look like an Elder Scrolls elf. Unfortunately that includes the expression most make when kissing the protagonist. The models are of a reasonable variety in terms of age, facial features, body shape and complexion, though a couple are nearly interchangeable. The renders are high quality, considering the age of the game, though the hair textures are less than believable. [b]The lighting[/b] was used to good effect, adding depth to the renders so that scenes never suffered the sitcom effect seen in so many AVNs. [b]The backgrounds and props[/b] were for the most part believable, and in some instances contributed as much to the story as the characters. [b]Still poses[/b] were dynamic and realistic, especially in the action scenes. [b]Animations[/b] are limited to rocking between poses, but the author uses the other elements in his intimate scenes to such good effect this is easy to overlook. There are a good number of animations per scene, and I was never left wanting for more. The same goes for the overall number of scenes - and again, I only saw half of them. [b]The music[/b] is absolutely the best I’ve heard in an AVN, in terms of contributing to the emotional tone. This is especially true during action sequences, which are actually quite thrilling. [b]Sound effects[/b] are sparse but clever and effective. Note that there are no voice-overs or sound effects during sex scenes. [b]In conclusion[/b]: This title isn’t perfect but manages to avoid the slow pace, cringey dialogue, flat lighting, odd props and weird music that plague so many AVNs. The only real complaint I had was about a series of scenes involving the villain and a female lieutenant that involved her sexual degradation. That’s not something I enjoy, and to make matters worse the scenes felt gratuitous. I [b]highly recommend[/b] this to anyone who tires of the drawn-out dialogues that plague many AVNs, but who still wants some character development and context along with some thrilling action scenes, in and out of the bedroom. It took me a little less than [b]six hours[/b] to play through, including rewinding several scenes, but bear in mind that I’m a fast reader.
