Yeah, I got that end and it was just Mortifying I just cant imagine your FEET getting cut off Then your crazy obsessed (Ex?)BF keeping you there just so you stay with him
I think the best ending overall is Jenna's good route since everyone gets out alive and some of the group's issues are sorted out but the price of that is the big mysteries not being resolved.
Jenna, Leo and Carl have more than one ending while TJ and Flynn's routes can only end one way.
I need your help on the Carl ending So, I got the ending where House goes up in flames, And carl seems soulless to Chase Is that the bad version of the end or
That ending was one of the first good ones I've got (along with Leo's break up one), considering TJ's path was my first route. All the others were just downhill. I'm stunned.
I finished almost all the routes... but I left Carl's route aside because I thought it wouldn't make much difference in the story, maybe I should play it? my sequence was: Leo, Jenna, TJ and Flynn
In my opinion, Carl's route is either a hit or miss. Without going into spoilers, it's drastically different from the other routes. So you're right, it doesn't make much difference in the story, and that can be good or bad depending on preferences and expectations. Personally, I enjoyed it initially (being the first route I played), but after replaying the entire game, it's not as good as I remember.
But don't let the opinion of this stranger deter you from enjoying more of Echo, it's ultimately up to you!
Great visual novel, it made me question what am I doing with my life. This novel left me feeling depressed, empty, useless. It has also made me wish I had friends growing up, it was pretty difficult for me to make friends. And I think that is why Carl route hit me the hardest. Sure he had friends but when he was starting to talk about his anxiety, when he had panic attacks I understood how he felt. At the end of his route the good ending when he overcame that, when he felt better about himself when he gained confidence in himself I started crying so much wishing that was me. I wish I wasn’t so insecure about my body wish I could get over my social anxiety just like that, especially when he was talking about going back to school. I feel like failure i let my family down for not finishing school and I really couldn’t bring myself to go there. It was really tough, people making fun of my weight, recording me while I was falling asleep in class. Actually thinking I had friends but they were “friends” And just to find out a few days they stole some of my stuff from my backpack when I was away and started to give my stuff out to some of my classmates when I found out it was already too late it was the end of the day. I have tried/did hurt myself when it was just too much for me. I am trying to get better now but it is still hard for me i really do hope one day I can change like he did, I really hope I can look in the mirror and smile back at that person how is looking at me and love myself.
Find your people and stick with them. Look up local support groups, leftist groups, etc. You don't become confident on a whim, it's a cultivation that starts with changing your habits, changing your thinking, and changing your experience.
Absolutely fascinating! I think I've played it fully -- I started with Carl and ended with TJ. Very, very cool game and I keep wanting to dip back in and look for things I might have missed.
after reading leo route,i feel lost,i try to find something comfort my suffering.so i finish reading echo and echo65,everytime chase talks to leo only to make me suffer more.Above all, it is the best gvn i have ever read,thank for trauma.
First thing's first, this game is not meant for everyone. It's a horror visual novel. Truth be told I am not a fan of horror or scary media by any stretch. That being said, this is probably the greatest piece of media I have consumed in a very, very long time.
If we look past the horror aspect of the story: the writing, the artistic value of the narrative, the pacing (for the most part), the character development, and the visual art, are nothing short of masterpiece quality.
I really cannot understate the merit that Echo commands. If we include the horror, it seems to both toe the line of traditional horror tropes in storytelling but subvert them. Not only insomuch as the story includes the almost expected twists and turns in its plot, but also in the way that the story keeps the audience engaged in the individual feelings and lives of the characters. Needless to say, when the characters hurt, we hurt. The deep emotional impact that the story has on its readers is something of awe and a warning to those that aren't in the best mental state.
I was a late arrival to Echo in terms of the furry VN scene's obsession du jour. I first played Adastra in early 2020 during the horror of COVID lockdowns and have since become a devotee of the Echo Project. So I want to preface the following with the fact that I speak as an unabashedly biased and pro-Echo partisan source.
The downsides of the story is that it lulls from time to time. I remember having to will myself into continuing on with playing the story in the beginning scenes on Saturday. Another theme that was a major detractor for me was the Southwestern US setting. I speak with bias, since I live in the US Southwest and am not the biggest fan of the local culture, the "theme" of the landscape and thus any story that is based around such a place. But, to Echo's credit, it doesn't build itself off of the Southwestern cowboy aesthetic, which is what I initially feared when I started playing.
Another unfortunate aspect of the story was that some horror scenes seemed overly gratuitous and served little more than to remind the reader that Echo is still indeed a horror story. Now obviously this is expected with the genre, but some things I felt would better serve left out.
Besides that, there were still some minor typographical errors in the dialog, but nothing devastating to comprehension.
The soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal. This is something in which the Echo Project shines. We the audience get invested in the stories of Echo Project titles not only because of the stellar writing but the intuitive emotion-laden tracks and presentation of said music. The work truly does speak for itself.
All things considered, Echo is absolutely a must-play for anyone who consumes furry themed visual novels. The game's appeal not only extends to the queer-furry crowd, but even to the general visual novel-consuming public, queer and non-queer, furry and non-furry alike.
Just started playing and accidentally started TJs route first, I think I'm close to finishing it. However after reading some comments it seems like it's best to do his as one of the last ones. Should I paused that route and start another one instead?
I also played TJ's route first. I really don't believe it matters. If anything, I prefer putting his first since it gives you the "sweetest" story and gives you the smoothest introduction. It only gets rougher from there on out, and even considering TJ's route, that's quite the assessment.
I have to agree with this. TJ's route is the least mentally-jarring and is a great introduction, and it gets more and more confusing as you go down other routes.
Played this game ~2 year ago when I was in a really shitty state of mind which looking back I realise was not the greatest idea. I definately fucked myself up for a while as I used to spend hours playing through the different routes hoping there was a happy ending for the characters I'd grown attached to.
Eventually I spent a day systematically going through every choice in the game until I got all the dialogue just so I could squeeze as much content out of this game as possible. After that I just led in bed for a couple of hours even though it was the middle of the day because I didn't really see the point in doing anything because my fictional people were essentially gone which in hindsight is one of the lowest points in my life...
So yeah before you play just really think about if you're doing good right now. I get that there's a good chance you'll think you can "deal with it" like I did but as you can tell by the sad state I was in it really isn't worth it. Now that I am in a better state of mind I'm gonna play it again and hopefully have a much better experience (I do hope the feels hit hard still tho). Also props to the echo team for making a vn so emotional that it became my life for a while (but seriously if you're reading I actually love you guys so much for all the work you put into your vns).
Hi, just finished Flynn's route and now only TJ's route is left, is it a good thing I left that route for the last? Probably not but this game has made me think, a lot and made me feel a lot. I thought people were overreacting over it being heavy but now even I can say that this game is a true psychological horror. The lore gets messy here and there but in general, makes sense. For me, the most heartbreaking routes were Flynn's and Leo's in which both the Epilogue made me bawl out. The route I liked the best was Jenna's because I just adored how the friendship group adhered despite everything, I am a big sucker for a happy ending so don't blame me. Overall, an amazing and very powerful game and recommend someone with a stable heart to play, as for me, I will be taking a break before TJ's route and all the extra stuff and prequels/sequels I play. The epilogue in Flynn's route still hurts me seeing chase all alone and broken. Thank you for reading, I appreciate it! Also thank you the developers for encoding this game in my mindset for days rent free
The developers recommend doing either TJ or Flynn's last in the recommended play order, but most fans usually leave Flynn for last due to how it was written as a "finale" route, so I'm interested to see how your experience might differ playing TJ's last!
ok yeah i finished it in a day because I needed closure and,, TJ's route was um
depressing to say the least
I wish now i had done Jenna's route last so i could make it the canon ending in my head but, all the endings were pretty good! Though, TJ's, Flynn's and Leo's route absolutely broke me.
Hello! In the game during Wednesday on Leo's route, when everyone is looking for Carl, I noticed a very small typo where it's written "form" instead of "from" (cf picture below).
I am having a blast on the game so far overall, it's an amazing story and I love all the characters, keep up the good work!
So I played through once and was wondering if theres a specific choice or set of choices in game that branches off into different routes, I really love this story and want to experience some of the alternating paths.
What route did you start with? In the prologue of the game, just after Flynn lashes out at everyone at Yeeyaw, you get options like:
Follow Flynn, sit with Carl, find TJ, follow Leo and Jenna
Those decisions choose your route (Clicking Follow Leo and Jenna gives you another choice between going after Jenna or Leo)
Some routes have 2 endings and others have only 1 set ending. But there are tiny little jumpscares hidden that only come out if you make a certain choice.
i searched that number in the (working) games folder and nothing came up. Idk how to fix that, but if you want im sure someone could send you the working folder through the internet. maybe have a friend download it and send it to you?
I had downloaded VN thinking it was another novel, not realizing it was a Horror VN. And holy shit, how scared I am of horror stuff, but the story is just perfect! Sometimes you want to cry, sometimes you have a stupid smile on your face, and seriously, I finished Leo's route a little while ago, and I'm sure I won't be able to do the other routes without having a mini heart attack, because as I'm a fucking curious, I go looking for information, and holy shit, this is very complex, maybe I just see the other routes through videos instead of playing games, because I'm not sure if my fragile and needy little heart could handle some, especially that of TJ. I guess my only problem with everything is that it doesn't have a really happy ending, byt it's just a problem with happy endings that I have.
For the better? Sorry but it's way more realistic and beautiful that Chase itself also suffer from the histery, the hum. He's not someone that special do change everything. It would be lame if the author go that way of fixing things, just like what happens in every horror movie like The Nun. Chase didn't have to fix everything, he is too occupied trying to keep alive in this madness.
This is not a history about someone who's involved in mystery and fix everything in the end, that's my only point.
Also Stephen King's overrated. Sorry but this is way more original than his books. And I say that because I read a lot, I never stop reading, it's the only thing I do better. This plot of echo exist for a very long time, I read once that the author actually build some things in 2014. So it wasn't all put whatsoever, he had a plan and thoughts.. A little respect please, you can give your opinion, but say that "I can change this for the better" not very respectful you know. Hope you have a good day, sorry if I say something that made you feel bad. Not my intention
This visual novel would be good if it wasn’t abusing “brain-washing” trope to such degree. When one or more character do bad things their responsibility get undermined later by “oh, it’s not their fault, it was all supernatural’s town influence!” Such a cheap and unnecessary excuse.
Anyone know if Mcskinny and Howly have individual twitters or places to follow them? Love their writing and just want to see if I can creep to gain any tips to see how they got so good :')
Hello everybody! I was wondering if there was a way to download older versions of Echo. I'm interested in what the old menu and mechanics used to look like/work. Thank you!
Lol you guys were waiting for a dating simulator when FROM THE VERY BEGINNING everything is clear that this is a horror history. Even from here, in itch.io, it says that. Sorry to say the truth but the breakup is more realistic than them being together.
This isn't a history about comfort and happy endings. You cannot go further without sacrifice something, let things go. Leo learn that in the hardest way, even a miracle he's alive in his own route. The first time I made it, I was so shocked and depressed, but disappointed? NEVER! This is still one of the most creative and original things I have ever read. Thank you echo project!
Man I think this game is gonna be to much for me, I almost cried on the first game, and I actually cried just reading the description of the game, like what the story's about. I might not make it out alive playing the game, I'll update you guys If i survive. See ya!
omg the part where my charter kills flynn its was scary at the same time thinking he needed that but i wish i was able to see me and TJ date and kiss some more BUT IN JEN I LOVE IT ALL
I don't really ever comment on anything I play, but I have to comment on this. I played this for the first time just now, finished Leo's route and wow. This was so beautifully written, I never thought I would get so drawn in, get so scared, and actually cry (I'm a pushover anyway) all in one characters story in a visual novel... I can not wait to start Flynn's route next, after a good week emotionally recovering. Great job on this. Much love!
I recommend saving Flynn's route for last. It is the wildest ride, and pays off the most if you've played all the other routes first <3 Since you finished Leo's, I recommend Jenna's since it closely relates to Leo's. This is all according to the recommended order by the developers btw.
That said, it's really up to you, but the dev's order gives the most cohesive story experience as a whole.
It's been a few days now and Leo's route is still playing with me, I saw both ending and obviously one was very... rough to see and the good ending was so emotionally draining for me, still feel a bit empty now lol. Very scared to see how the others play out but looking forward nevertheless <3 T_T

does anyone else get a "could not execute" when trying to start up the game? i just wanna play this
Jump on their discord and ask there, there's an active community there and that's where you're most likely to find an answer quickly.
(Also include which platform you're playing on)
thanks for this experience
Quick question,
Is there a good ending when it comes to any of the routes, I got to the end of 1 of them and had to take a few days off.
Yeah. The other ending for that route is kinda fucked ngl, but letting go still hurts a lot.
Yeah, I got that end and it was
just
Mortifying
I just cant imagine your FEET getting cut off
Then your crazy obsessed (Ex?)BF keeping you there just so you stay with him
The thought terrifies me.
For real. Being forced to stay with Leo in such a circumstance... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HYSTERIA
That would be so scary
That ending did me a legit jaw-drop
*spoiler*
.
.
.
Hey so is like letting go of Leo like the only good ending in his route? bsides the bad ending ofc the train where ya get ur legs gordon ramseyed
Thanks for the info :0 also you did an awesome job understanding the morale!!and sharing it ofc thanks again
I think the best ending overall is Jenna's good route since everyone gets out alive and some of the group's issues are sorted out but the price of that is the big mysteries not being resolved.
Jenna, Leo and Carl have more than one ending while TJ and Flynn's routes can only end one way.
Wait
I need your help on the Carl ending
So, I got the ending where House goes up in flames, And carl seems soulless to Chase
Is that the bad version of the end or
Bad end, to get the better end you need Carl stay himself instead of acting like someone he isn't.
Also; How do i get the bad jenna ending?
Basically encourage her jaded personality, nothing gets better, people are jerks that sort of thing.
That ending was one of the first good ones I've got (along with Leo's break up one), considering TJ's path was my first route. All the others were just downhill. I'm stunned.
Every time I open the app, it gives me an error...
"I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
After initialization, but before game start.
Exception: CoreAudio error (OpenAComponent): -50"
Im using a Mac, if that helps any. I used to be able to play, but I'm not sure what happened. Great game by the way! :)
cmon man my guy flynn didn't deserve that
No he didn't
I started with his route and god DAMN was I devastated
I fell thath too, friend
I finished almost all the routes... but I left Carl's route aside because I thought it wouldn't make much difference in the story, maybe I should play it? my sequence was: Leo, Jenna, TJ and Flynn
In my opinion, Carl's route is either a hit or miss. Without going into spoilers, it's drastically different from the other routes. So you're right, it doesn't make much difference in the story, and that can be good or bad depending on preferences and expectations. Personally, I enjoyed it initially (being the first route I played), but after replaying the entire game, it's not as good as I remember.
But don't let the opinion of this stranger deter you from enjoying more of Echo, it's ultimately up to you!
she was not lying that was CW: emotionally intense
this Is child Chase
The sprites are used in Flynn's rote and I think that Jenna's route too.
Except for Chase's sprite. His was not used in any routes.
What animal was Sydney?
Otter, I'm pretty sure.
AAAGH THAT CONFIRMS MY SUSPICIONSSSS
what suspicions?
I had a feeling he was an otter because of something that happened in Arches,
You mean the car crash scene?
Spoilers!!! I guess?
Great visual novel, it made me question what am I doing with my life. This novel left me feeling depressed, empty, useless.

Also thanks for the crazy experience
Find your people and stick with them. Look up local support groups, leftist groups, etc. You don't become confident on a whim, it's a cultivation that starts with changing your habits, changing your thinking, and changing your experience.
I never liked Flynn. He's the most misunderstood character, yet he's a jackass.
Absolutely fascinating! I think I've played it fully -- I started with Carl and ended with TJ. Very, very cool game and I keep wanting to dip back in and look for things I might have missed.
after reading leo route,i feel lost,i try to find something comfort my suffering.so i finish reading echo and echo65,everytime chase talks to leo only to make me suffer more.Above all, it is the best gvn i have ever read,thank for trauma.
Where shall I begin?
First thing's first, this game is not meant for everyone. It's a horror visual novel. Truth be told I am not a fan of horror or scary media by any stretch. That being said, this is probably the greatest piece of media I have consumed in a very, very long time.
If we look past the horror aspect of the story: the writing, the artistic value of the narrative, the pacing (for the most part), the character development, and the visual art, are nothing short of masterpiece quality.
I really cannot understate the merit that Echo commands. If we include the horror, it seems to both toe the line of traditional horror tropes in storytelling but subvert them. Not only insomuch as the story includes the almost expected twists and turns in its plot, but also in the way that the story keeps the audience engaged in the individual feelings and lives of the characters. Needless to say, when the characters hurt, we hurt. The deep emotional impact that the story has on its readers is something of awe and a warning to those that aren't in the best mental state.
I was a late arrival to Echo in terms of the furry VN scene's obsession du jour. I first played Adastra in early 2020 during the horror of COVID lockdowns and have since become a devotee of the Echo Project. So I want to preface the following with the fact that I speak as an unabashedly biased and pro-Echo partisan source.
The downsides of the story is that it lulls from time to time. I remember having to will myself into continuing on with playing the story in the beginning scenes on Saturday. Another theme that was a major detractor for me was the Southwestern US setting. I speak with bias, since I live in the US Southwest and am not the biggest fan of the local culture, the "theme" of the landscape and thus any story that is based around such a place. But, to Echo's credit, it doesn't build itself off of the Southwestern cowboy aesthetic, which is what I initially feared when I started playing.

Besides that, there were still some minor typographical errors in the dialog, but nothing devastating to comprehension.
The soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal. This is something in which the Echo Project shines. We the audience get invested in the stories of Echo Project titles not only because of the stellar writing but the intuitive emotion-laden tracks and presentation of said music. The work truly does speak for itself.
All things considered, Echo is absolutely a must-play for anyone who consumes furry themed visual novels. The game's appeal not only extends to the queer-furry crowd, but even to the general visual novel-consuming public, queer and non-queer, furry and non-furry alike.
Just started playing and accidentally started TJs route first, I think I'm close to finishing it. However after reading some comments it seems like it's best to do his as one of the last ones. Should I paused that route and start another one instead?
I also played TJ's route first. I really don't believe it matters. If anything, I prefer putting his first since it gives you the "sweetest" story and gives you the smoothest introduction. It only gets rougher from there on out, and even considering TJ's route, that's quite the assessment.
I have to agree with this. TJ's route is the least mentally-jarring and is a great introduction, and it gets more and more confusing as you go down other routes.
Personally I did TJ > Flynn > Leo
Really? I did them in alphabetical order and TJ’s and wish I would have swapped his and Jenna’s.
Played this game ~2 year ago when I was in a really shitty state of mind which looking back I realise was not the greatest idea. I definately fucked myself up for a while as I used to spend hours playing through the different routes hoping there was a happy ending for the characters I'd grown attached to.

Welcome down the Echo rabbit hole! *hugs*
Thank you friend, :')
Really? I always felt Jenna's had more closure to it along with more info about generally everything that's going on.
I would say something more verbose but I can't come up with the words. Just uh, good game, very good game. Loved it.
My first vn, and honestly it was far beyond my expections. This game made me experience every single emotion possible.
Hello! In the game during Wednesday on Leo's route, when everyone is looking for Carl, I noticed a very small typo where it's written "form" instead of "from" (cf picture below).
I am having a blast on the game so far overall, it's an amazing story and I love all the characters, keep up the good work!
Yeah, the game despite being completed still have these wrinkles of oopsies here and there. That doesn't make it any less of a great story though!
Would appreciate it if they release a small update specifically to tweak typos, still.
So I played through once and was wondering if theres a specific choice or set of choices in game that branches off into different routes, I really love this story and want to experience some of the alternating paths.
What route did you start with? In the prologue of the game, just after Flynn lashes out at everyone at Yeeyaw, you get options like:
Follow Flynn, sit with Carl, find TJ, follow Leo and Jenna
Those decisions choose your route (Clicking Follow Leo and Jenna gives you another choice between going after Jenna or Leo)
Some routes have 2 endings and others have only 1 set ending. But there are tiny little jumpscares hidden that only come out if you make a certain choice.
I started with TJs and played through all the others at least once, Leos was my favorite throughout, whilst Carls was my least favorite.
why does it only download a file called "5524815" without any file extension or anything? how do i fix it?
i searched that number in the (working) games folder and nothing came up. Idk how to fix that, but if you want im sure someone could send you the working folder through the internet. maybe have a friend download it and send it to you?
ok so i just checked and it works on a different browser.
After playing Leo's route a couple years ago and just quitting to save myself from further trauma, I'm finally back to torture myself even further.
Wish me luck friends.
"I knew you'd be back. They all come back eventually..."
I really wasn't happy about remembering those lines when I booted it up after such a long time.
Thanks for reminding me again that's so nice of you.
I had downloaded VN thinking it was another novel, not realizing it was a Horror VN. And holy shit, how scared I am of horror stuff, but the story is just perfect! Sometimes you want to cry, sometimes you have a stupid smile on your face, and seriously, I finished Leo's route a little while ago, and I'm sure I won't be able to do the other routes without having a mini heart attack, because as I'm a fucking curious, I go looking for information, and holy shit, this is very complex, maybe I just see the other routes through videos instead of playing games, because I'm not sure if my fragile and needy little heart could handle some, especially that of TJ.

Hope you have a good day, sorry if I say something that made you feel bad. Not my intention
hey no need to diss steven king like that, some of echo's routes are pretty akin to his work
This visual novel would be good if it wasn’t abusing “brain-washing” trope to such degree. When one or more character do bad things their responsibility get undermined later by “oh, it’s not their fault, it was all supernatural’s town influence!” Such a cheap and unnecessary excuse.
consider looking up metaphor, allegory and other such figures of speech
Anyone know if Mcskinny and Howly have individual twitters or places to follow them? Love their writing and just want to see if I can creep to gain any tips to see how they got so good :')

Hello everybody! I was wondering if there was a way to download older versions of Echo. I'm interested in what the old menu and mechanics used to look like/work. Thank you!
Gonna be giving the VN a try
Really disappointed with the leo route...ngl
Why?
Lol you guys were waiting for a dating simulator when FROM THE VERY BEGINNING everything is clear that this is a horror history. Even from here, in itch.io, it says that. Sorry to say the truth but the breakup is more realistic than them being together.
This isn't a history about comfort and happy endings. You cannot go further without sacrifice something, let things go. Leo learn that in the hardest way, even a miracle he's alive in his own route. The first time I made it, I was so shocked and depressed, but disappointed? NEVER! This is still one of the most creative and original things I have ever read. Thank you echo project!
Man I think this game is gonna be to much for me, I almost cried on the first game, and I actually cried just reading the description of the game, like what the story's about. I might not make it out alive playing the game, I'll update you guys If i survive. See ya!
lack of updates from this person concerns me a bit
I was reading tru the comments trying to figure out if i should play the game or not until i read this.
I laughed waaay too hard at this.

I realize now that the fennec isn't actually a girl at all, at least not physically"
YEOUCH that line didn't age well

omg the part where my charter kills flynn its was scary at the same time thinking he needed that but i wish i was able to see me and TJ date and kiss some more BUT IN JEN I LOVE IT ALL
I don't really ever comment on anything I play, but I have to comment on this. I played this for the first time just now, finished Leo's route and wow. This was so beautifully written, I never thought I would get so drawn in, get so scared, and actually cry (I'm a pushover anyway) all in one characters story in a visual novel... I can not wait to start Flynn's route next, after a good week emotionally recovering. Great job on this. Much love!
I recommend saving Flynn's route for last. It is the wildest ride, and pays off the most if you've played all the other routes first <3 Since you finished Leo's, I recommend Jenna's since it closely relates to Leo's. This is all according to the recommended order by the developers btw.
That said, it's really up to you, but the dev's order gives the most cohesive story experience as a whole.
Oh thank you! I'll check out Jenna's next :)
It's been a few days now and Leo's route is still playing with me, I saw both ending and obviously one was very... rough to see and the good ending was so emotionally draining for me, still feel a bit empty now lol. Very scared to see how the others play out but looking forward nevertheless <3 T_T
Welcome to the Echo rabbit hole. Prepare yourself is all I'll say... :)
Thank you for having me aha :)
Jesus was a skunk
I can't play it, it ended crashing whenever I open it
