Downloading Arches after finishing Echo and watching an explanation of the routes. I don't think I'm ready for this especially with doing Flynn's route last and learning EVERYTHING.🥲🥲
I don't think I have ever cried to a game before... I knew the game was going to be rough (Judging by the comments) I just didn't think that was going to happen. I still have tears in my eyes no joke, this is an game experience I don't think I will ever forget, The storytelling in this game is so amazing and the characters were so connectable its crazy.
I haven't played any of the other echo's series VNs but wow I mean wow, I have never been in such pain and emotional agony than reading this. I mean this whole VN was a rollercoaster.
10/10 Game. Won't be playing again (my heart can't handle that)
This is going to be a long review so anyone reading *bewaaare*
So funny enough I actually played Arches before Echo. While i've had knowledge of Echo, I never played it knowing that the game was known to be pretty intense and scary. As someone who gets wayyy too emotionally into the media I like and has issues with getting "too into it", ive been waiting till im in a good headspace to play it. So I think I can say that when I went into Arches blind not knowing what I was in for would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. With that being said, I LOVE and I mean LOVE this game. The writing, the characters, the settings. It was scary but it was good scary. There were so many moments where I was on the edge of my bed holding myself reading as fast as I could to keep the story moving. At the end, like many, I cried. Hard. It hit me in so many personal spots I didn't know needed to be hit. I wont say much, but I think this vn has given me a new perspective. Seeing how the characters were so resilient to what they went through; I think I want to be resilient too. Thank you Howly, thank you painted fox, thank you to the whole team for this. I understand this was a personal vn to create to them, and you can feel it in every scene. I wont forget this visual novel.
I didn't truly take the warning to heart that this would mess me up, lets say i was not mentally stabe what so ever i have never felt so much emotion from a book before every like hold crap i cried like 6 or 7 different times will just shaking uncontrollably least say don't read this while being mentally unstabe this truly reshape my way on life
Does anyone know what'll happen to my save? I finished Arches a year ago (AWESOME VN btw, had me shook), and now it says that i've never played before? I'm pretty sure it was me playing w/o any internet, but it still should at least keep my saves? I don't think I want to restart the trauma vn...

I played this back during build 8. Played it again. Still hits just as hard, especially with the incorporation of Vessels.
Please, never stop creating, Howly. Your art deserves to be read.
