Awoken: Chapter One of Reverie News

Hello to all!

First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone who has supported Awoken: Chapter One of Reverie throughout its development time. We would also like to thank everyone for your patience during our absence of updates on Awoken.

This began as a passion project from two developers during the Covid pandemic and unfortunately was not able to be delivered with the vision we had dreamed for it. With heavy hearts, we announce its removal from the Steam store page as we continue on with more experiences for everyone to enjoy.

We want to thank you again for your support and would love for you all to join us on our journey!


With heartfelt thanks,

The whole team at Devious Eye Entertainment

Hello, everyone! We are excited to present a new screenshot for everyone to dissect from the new team working on Awoken. The team is looking to give a fresh and full experience for Awoken and is actively working on pushing out an update for Early Access. The full version of the game is being heavily worked on so it may be a while longer until we can give a concrete release window for the update and full game.


If you take a closer look you may find something devious waiting for you... 😈

Also, we figured we'd show off something even more exciting for everyone:



🥒"A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?" 🥒

Thank you for reading our new update! Remember to keep an eye on our community hub for more updates soon.

Stay devious, Deviants!

Greetings. This is Spades, your Awoken Community Manager here to let everyone know some fantastic news regarding Awoken:

I will be relaying any changes or updates regarding Awoken should anything else come to fruition or change. I am happy to say that we are looking at having an update come from our brand new team around March of 2022. This means that in that time we will be working diligently to overhaul and make the game feel much more refined and changed compared to what we have now.

Please be patient with us as we wish to deliver a product that will make every minute of waiting worth it. We want nothing more than to make not only the fans proud but to make our company proud of this product. Tidbits and snippets will be shared for Awoken leading up to its March update that is sure to show just how hard the team has been working on it. Our primary goals in mind are to build the experience from the ground up, make a more consistent experience for the player regarding functionality, and ensure our team can learn from the hiatus and inconsistencies we have left with Awoken.

Companies make mistakes. But that's not an excuse to leave our fans without answers and we aim to provide not only an amazing game but to improve upon and learn from it. Thank you to our readers and players for keeping up with the status of Awoken!

Spades,
Community Manager of Awoken

We'll have another update as soon as next week for everyone as well! Stay devious!

I would like to introduce myself. I am Spades, the new Community Manager for Devious Eye Entertainment on Steam. I am fairly new to the team and I would like to bring to light an important situation that we have not addressed in some time. 

Devious Eye Entertainment knows we have made a mistake by being absent and not addressing the glitches, AI inconsistencies, issues with Mount Moira's environmental design, and much, much more. I have read all of the reviews, seen the posted video on our review page, and have even attempted to play the game myself. What we have done is unacceptable to you, the players and the fans of our Early Access game. We have not given this game the attention it deserves and it shows.

Devious Eye Entertainment has been working on Awoken with a brand new development team. There is a lot more work that needs to be done and we felt the best thing to do was let everyone know the truth:

We want to do better. We want to innovate and expand upon our ideas, our inspirations, and, most importantly, the games we make.

So while we continue to work more on Awoken with our brand new team. I will be updating everyone from here on out. We will address our broken mechanics, we will address the reviews and we will gladly take any and all feedback on our game (ESPECIALLY since it's in Early Access!).

I assure anyone who supports our company and this game that I will be your messenger and go-to for any questions. This project is important to Devious Eye Entertainment as a whole and we want nothing more than to fix our game and create something much better and akin to our vision. I am looking forward to working with the team and with the fans! If anyone has any questions feel free to comment here or on our discussion form and I will get back to you all as soon as possible. You can also join our discord and post feedback there as well!
