The Awakening - Codename: Reawakened

The Awakening - Codename: Reawakened was a visual novel game developed by Ethan Dahlberg. It was released in an early access state on June 28, 2021 and was temporarily discontinued on July 19, 2023. It was intended to be a complete remake of The Awakening in the Unity engine, using the same genre Survival, but he later decided to turn it into a visual novel using the Ren'Py Engine instead.

==Trivia==
*A remake of The Awakening had been talked about ever since September 2020, way before the original game even reached a full-release status.
*The soundtrack is a remastered version of the original, composed by Mr. Long.
*It was once said by Ethan that the game was going to be constructed in Unreal Engine, but due to his friends insisting on him using Unity, this statement was later revoked. However, usage of Unity for the game was also cancelled as on August 10, 2021, Ethan announced he was going to transfer C:R development from the Unity Engine to the Ren'Py Engine stating that "The game better suited the Visual Novel genre". This was initially a controversial choice but was eventually accepted upon.
*On July 19, 2023, Ethan postponed the game until further notice due to him being "too stressed from having to make everything (besides music)" and fears that the game, and its successors, will not perform as well as he had hoped for."I'm sad to announce that Codename: Reawakened, and all the rest of the games, will be postponed until further notice." – @TechGamesPlus07 on Twitter / X, July 19, 2023 (23:03 UTC)
