The Awakening

The Awakening was a FNaF-inspired survival game developed by Ethan Dahlberg. It was released in an early access state on August 25, 2020, was fully-released on December 18, 2020 and was officially discontinued on August 8, 2021. It is loosely based off Ethan's first game, The Script, and like that game, was made in Microsoft PowerPoint.
==Development==
Development of the game started on August 21, 2020. The game was intended to be 5 nights in the household environment of an office. It was originally in a 4:3 resolution due to Ethan making things full-screen for himself. Unfortunately data of the game was deleted on September 8 forcing the game to restart development.

1.0.1 	December 20, 2020 	
Changes:
*The Night 2 Game Over screens will now hyperlink to the Night Complete screen. I made this change as a "substitute fix" to the animation glitches in Night 2.
Fixes: 
*Fixed a bug where the Game Over screen in Night 1 would hyperlink to Task 2 in Office Tutorial.
*Fixed some of the audio as they were repeating in scenes where they shouldn't.
*Fixed a bug that made the title screen show as the v0.4 title screen.
1.0.2 	January 16, 2021 	
Changes:
*Because I had to re-render the entire credits video in .mxf instead of .wmv or .mp4, the quality has appeared to become much worse.
Fixes:
*Fixed the "Alan Game Over" pixel animation slide. It now automatically transitions.
*Fixed the credits video a little bit. The ending wouldn't do a fading transition, and there was a "Cut Through Black" transition around the middle of the video.
Removals:
*Removed the text at the top of the screen in Night 1.
1.0.3 	January 16, 2021 	
Additions:
*Added a new mode for the game: YTF Mode (stands for YouTube Friendly, not Yiff The Fox...)
*Added a .txt file to the game folder.
Changes:
*Embedded the Credits video into the PowerPoint file.
*Uploaded everything into a .zip file rather than a .pptx.
1.1 	January 23, 2021 	
Additions:
*Added security cameras to the Office Tutorial.
*Added a temporary screen before Night 2 as there have been animation glitches on Night 2 ever since Night 2 was created.
*Added a second ending to the game. (Hint: If you see Lauslan Park, you have passed it!)
Changes:
*Changed the disclaimer when loading the game as the disclaimer hasn't been changed since v0.1.5b1.
*Changed the loading screen from "Made Especially for OSFirstTimer" to "With Help From The CODEC Discord Server".
*Modified the text in the court scene shown after Night 1. Kevlin will now address Owlette, Runile, Chimlené and Adams as Detectives, not Jury.
*Changed 2 fonts in Night 5. Originally these fonts would sadly not embed into the file when I save the game, so they have been changed.
*Age recommendation has been changed from 15 to 13.
*Changed the wallpaper for the Office Tutorial/Night 4 computer.
*Modified Night 5 and the game ending.
Removals:
*Removed the menu screen after the Kevlin Body Discovery scene as it contained a bug where the game would hyperlink you to the wrong area.
*Removed the ability to access the Options menu at the end of the game as this would hyperlink to the Options at the very beginning of the game.
1.1.1 	February 11, 2021 	
Additions:
*Added a temporary easter egg! (Only available in this release). I dare you to play through the entire game and try to find it without cheating!
Changes:

*Changed the animation and audio for the second ending screen.
Fixes:

1.2 	February 13, 2021 	
Additions:
*Added a new feature: Kevlin's Path – The alternative to Night 2 due to James' Path having its stupid animation glitches.
Changes:
*Changed the opening theme, exit theme and the main menu theme. This is a reference to The Awakening 0.1.5 Build 1 – 0.3.4.
*Changed the version number from v1.1 to v1.2 on the title screen (v1.1.1 had it say v1.1).
*Replaced the credits – There is now new audio composed by Alon and Henry. Sadly the credits itself is a lot shorter now though.
*Modified the ending after Night 5.
Fixes: 
*Fixed a bug where the disclaimer was timed.
Removals:
*Removed the easter egg in v1.1.1 – Hope you had fun trying to find it! (by the way only 1 person downloaded v1.1.1 and I'm pretty sure it was just me)
*Removed the audio in Night 3. I was planning to add new audio there but I forgot because I'm dumb.
*Removed the Anti-Piracy messages that appear after the court scene.
*Completely removed the Options menu as you cannot modify this game since it's made in PowerPoint.
1.3 	March 1, 2021 	
Additions:
*Added more phone scenes.
*Added a new ending.
Changes:

Changes:
*In Night 2, you no longer need to click on the arrow. Just hover your mouse cursor over it and you'll be good to go.
