Depraved Awakening

A bit rushed and short but overall entertaining detective noir story with signs of its age. The models are fine, but the animations are clearly dated.I don't know how fair it is to lower the rating for them. The different love interests are interesting, and the endings are fair for each, but it's sad to not be able to save one along any path, but sometimes loss is part of a good story. ​After the first round and accepting the drugging aspects of the story, you can understand why the MC is such a horny guy. At first, it was kinda strange for me, but accepting and roleplaying with it and even the full depraved ending is a good ending.

first half of the game felt like a walking simulator. with poor rendering and writing, it turned a potentially good story into a "meh". however the quality of the second half improved enough for me to recommend. + there's BGM / SE. no dubs or moaning. + editable nouns. + some good renders with undisturbing expressions (under 20%). + Carli / Stella. + overall quality improved after the highway scene. + Judy / Christina after the quality bump. + Stella's plot. + H scenes after the quality bump. - most of the characters are comically ugly. did it get DEI-ed? - GIF animations. - the game can go completely silent at times. - characters have similar speech patterns, lacking distinct characteristics. - too many unnatural / illogical / redundant lines. - Judy looks like 40. - Kira's face and expressions remind me of Pop-Tarts and DC villain. - OMFG STOP RECAPPING WHAT I JUST DID! - i don't get to choose my reaction to Christina's confession? - also Matlock. there's no choice to make. - lots ...

Lots of sex unencumbered by a deep storyline.
