This is one of the most intriguing, mind sucking novels i have ever read. Whenever i had to stop reading bc life, i kept thinking about when i could come back and keep reading, it really is that good.
I just finished the two endings i could get with my run and i'm going straight back to try and get the rest, i'm SO invested and i'm probably going to think about this story for a really long time.. what exactly happened to Sydney?? why is Chase haunted by that spirit and who is it?? why is Flynn such a mean bitch??
Sydney drowned a few years ago. Flynn is mad because he never got a clear explanation. He was the closest to Sydney he did not cope well at all. To be honest Sydney kinda helped the group stay together for a time. After he died things slowly started to fall apart. His death left Flynn repressing his anger and it coming out around the group
Mega Spoilers if you haven't read all the routes yet
1) Why is Chase haunted by that spirit and who is it??
Chase is haunted by the spirit of Samuel Ayers, the man who died after being hit by Mr Bronson's (Sydney's dad) van. After Sam's death, his spirit possessed Mr Bronson
Sometime later, when Sydney and his dad are on a hunt, they quarrel with each other, and when Sydney runs off and Mr Bronson goes after him, they both stumble upon an abandoned white van. Mr Bronson recognizes it as the van which he killed Sam with. He starts acting weird and eventually shoots himself with the shotgun. After that, Sam's spirit, which had been in Bronson all the time, leaves his body and possesses Sydney.
Then, on the day when the main cast is at the Lake Emma, Sydney is playfully fighting with TJ (as always, since TJ is weak and Sydney loves wrestling), but then, seemingly because of Sam's possession, the situation escalates as the playful fight turns into an attempt to drown TJ in the lake. And this leads to ⬇️
2) What exactly happened to Sydney??
Sydney was drowned by Chase in Lake Emma after Sydney tried to drown TJ. Chase manages to intervene just in time to save TJ, and he starts fighting with Sydney. Driven by hate towards Sydney (both because of him always bullying/messing with TJ and because of the ongoing rumors that he's the one who killed Mr Bronson), Chase tries to drown Sydney. Whether Sydney is killed on the spot or later, when he is transported to the hospital - I don't remember. Either way, in that moment Sam's spirit leaves Sydney's body and possesses Chase.
When people asked them about Sydney's death, Chase fabricated a story claiming Sydney drowned while swimming in the lake to conceal his crime.
3) Why is Flynn such a mean bitch??
Sydney and Flynn were best friends, so as his other friends moved on, Flynn was deeply affected by his death. While everyone else had believed Chase's account of Sydney's death, Flynn knew that something was amiss. As TJ was the only witness of Sydney's demise, Flynn started pestering TJ with questions about the incident. TJ was always answering the same thing - that Sydney just drowned in the lake while swimming, but Flynn knew that was not true. The friend group started shielding TJ from Flynn, portraying Flynn as a bully and TJ as a victim, when in reality it was not like that at all
All in all, Flynn's 'bitching' stems from his wish to uncover the truth surrounding his best friend's fate, albeit in a less than amicable manner
no creo que Chase haya ahogado a Sydney en el lago dice que estaban jugando con piedras lanzandolas en el lago leo y jenna cuando Chase perseguia a Sydney y chese se aparta de Sydney cuando leo dice que le podrian dar en la cabeza ademas en la ruta de Carl se ve que la creatura te puede paralizar como le paso a Chase cuando nada en la reunion casi se muere ahogado si la creatura puede hacer eso que crees que no podria hacerlo a los demas se cree que se alimenta de la mente de los demas e incluso los domina, otra cosa es que ese mismo dia Sydney no murio por que ya habia hecho la busqueda de el tesoro n7, para ese momento ya habia muerto y no es cuando Chase lo habia persegido no murio ese mismo dia, el dibujo muestra que Sydney tenia miedo de Chase por que le hiso lo mismo que el hiso con TJ ese dia y ese era el secreto que Sydney guardo de Chase en la ruta de TJ, la creatura manipula a Chase por completo y lo hace creer cosas por eso el cree que lo mato por que la culpa de ver a su amigo ahogado es lo que lo hace ser poseido y si ves bien la creatura puede controlar hasta tus recuerdos por que en la ruta de leo el cree que estubo hablando con Chase y que nunca dejo la casa cuando Chase habia sido secuestrado por Brayan incluso leo recuerda que Chase le hadia dicho cosas que nunca pasaron para ser franco el misterio de Sydney es ambiguo por que siendo pragmaticos no se puede concluir solo con lo que nos dicen 1 ruta todos los puntos muestran cambios debido a que la creatura juega con la mente de el grupo de Chase y al final de la ruta de TJ dice que el ente necesita secretos es lo que consume como el payaso de IT ¿no crees tu que lo haria que Chase asesinar a Flynn para hacer que hayan mas secretos en echo?
Can't stop loving Leo, man Chase fucked him up. Yes I fully believe everything that happened to Leo was Chase's fault. 1st When one of their childhood friends died Leo yes became protective cuz he doesn't want any of them to die makes sense, and 2 chase left everyone there without any notice which made Leo worried about Chase, and 3 I fully wished Chase would talk some sense into Leo at least it would've been what I would've done. I hate Chase because of his actions in the past.
ok so I finished the vn twice, it's, I mean at least it's not how I predicted and there are actually good happy endings. It's great vn with pretty sad story (only pretty sad because I only played Leo route I've seen people saying the worst as the most idk, sad ones are TJ and Flynn routes so like no way I'm gonna play them, Leo was already sad enough).
(spoilers about Leo route)
I REPEAT
S P O I L E R S BE CAREFUL
never fucking fixing any men again, imagine your first actual ending being ending where you bleed out while cuddling with your somewhat maniacal and unstable mentally boyfriend (and imagining, seeing him as perfect lover forever material while dying) because of which your feet were cut off by a train. "He can be fixed"? nah he can't and well I learned it the hard way, Leo good route though was actually kinda nice, I mean it was kinda sad mainly at the begging but it ended up definitely better than bad Leo ending even though I was crying a bit on both. I just wanted a happy red wolf that can be fixed but he's got too many red flags to fix them all he isn't fixable.
Not a fan of horrors on my side, very hard read for me. I needed to take breaks from time to time (for a couple of months) after each route, because.. MY GHOD how intense it is. Even if you are not a fan of such spooky games, I would recommend a try (pls read warnings!! it's not just for fun there). It is definitely a very unique, and versatile, and really one of the most outstanding VNs amongst other FVNs.
It is not a comfort reading for me. I don't think I'm going to re read it ever, but it definitely affected me in many ways. And I'm just incapable of forgetting something like this outstandish.
[spoiler]
p.s.: Carl's good ending is the only right one for me. idc.
The leo route was very deep for someone having affection issues like me (the game punishes you for that and it's a good thing) Very well written story, it's a masterpiece that i will never forget <3
if you can't handle torture, violence, or adult stuff, don't download this. it goes really deep, the content warning is REAL.
i loved this story, it was absolutely amazing how much it can affect you. i really hope we get more stories that can affect people as much as this one does. i can't wait to see your next work Echo Project.
Je ne parle pas très l’anglais et je n’ai pas le temps d’apprendre, pourtant j’ai en de joué à ce jeux avec le peu de temps libre que j’ai, auriez vous une solution à me proposer s’il vous plaît
Je ne parle pas beaucoup anglais non plus, mais j’ai utilisé google translate pour pouvoir lire petit à petit. Même si c’est peut-être un peu fastidieux ou tardif, cela valait le pénis à la fin. (désolé, je ne parle pas français).
c'est une bonne solution, mais dans le cas où comme moi tu a une mauvaise connexion et qui ne prend que très rarement alors c'est pas une solution, tu n'aurais pas autre chose s'il te plaît j'ai vraiment envie de jouer à ce jeu
Je suis désolé de vous dire que je n'ai rien trouvé sur Internet. Mais si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez essayer de trouver une version traduite par quelqu'un d'autre. Je suis désolé de ne pas avoir été d'une grande aide.
even though I have never played this game, I have heard stories from people about the game's storyline. Just imagining it makes my eyes water... I've seen some of the photos and spoiler texts, and it hurts... it traumatizes me, especially since I'm just a gay teenager (-18)..."
I want to play this games, but I don't really understand English, especially when I was born my base language is not English but another,... so that makes me less proficient in those games
If you’re considering playing this game, know that the warning isn’t there for show. This game goes to some dark places and it can very easily take you there with it. I started playing Echo five months ago; I’ve thought about it every day since. I can’t remember a time when a piece of media, much less a video game, has occupied my thoughts and feelings the way Echo has, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried playing or even thinking about it. Despite the fact that it’s so concerned with its own darkness, or maybe because of it, what I associate most with Echo is Love. This is a passion project in the truest sense of the phrase; every scene, line of dialogue, sprite, and piece of music, and every instance of symbolism, foreshadowing, and humor only ever gave me the sense that the developers put their hearts into it; that they put so much of their time and effort and pain into this game that their love bleeds through it and into you. Misery loves company, and there’s no love stronger than that born out of shared suffering. I am a gay man involved in the furry community who is in his early twenties; this game feels like it was tailor-made to break my heart. There are very few people I know who I can recommend this game to, despite wanting to scream from the rooftops about how it has made me feel and how dear it is to me. This is a title that was only ever going to be niche, but for the people this game was made for, it's unforgettable. Play this game if you want a little piece of the dark, terrible love that lives inside of it to live inside of you too.
DO NOT read my review if you don't want any spoilers!
While I don't directly discuss events from the story, me stating how the story made me feel might spoil the genuin, raw emotions that you might have otherwise felt by going in blind and naïve.
With that out of the way;
I held TJ's path in high regard. That path was really good at putting me on the edge of my seat more and more as it progresses. It was almost sickening, especially during a particular event that kept us readers on our toes until the big reveal happened. I got glassy eyed AF at the end but despite this, I was beside myself now knowing what I know about the otter.
That is... Until I got to Leo's path... The build-up 10/10, the tension 10/10, the sense of hopelessness 20/10. I lucked out and managed to do his entire route without picking the bad ending/dead end choices and I'm glad since it gives a sense of uninterruption. But with, what I assume is cannon for Leo, the 'good' ending, I could feel the lump in my throat, so I knew I was a glass house just waiting to be shattered... And when chase said it, I f****ng crumbled and nearly ugly-cried 🥹
Howly, McSkinny, both of you, Masterful Penmanship here. I'm very much vested in the Echo series and can not wait for the total completion of TSR. I thought Adastra was an emotional rollercoaster... Until I got sucked into Echo.
God... I just have to say, what incredible read. The whole thing took me days to complete with several hours per session. I won't spoil anything, this is way too fucking good to do that. However, I will mention one thing. If you are playing this for the first time, DO JENNA'S ROUTE LAST, I highly recommend it. My personal opinion on what order the routes should be done in is as follows: Carl, TJ, Flynn, Leo, (Side Stories in the Gallery, accessed by clicking on the lake in the title screen, then the phone on the right side at the bottom. Scroll down to the bottom to find all the Side Stories.) And then lastly, Jenna's route. It doesn't quite matter what order you do the other 4 routes in, but at the very least I recommend doing Leo's route second to last, and then do the side stories before finishing off with Jenna's route. Like I said, I'm not going to spoil anything, but there is a very good reason that Jenna's route should be done as the very last route. Several story aspects that I cannot mention without spoiling anything, so just take my word for it.
Also, all routes except TJ's and Flynn's have multiple endings. I would suggest doing both endings for each route before advancing to the next.
Okay. So...i don't know if it's just me but...did anybody see Trip? HOLY FUCK! I think Chase died...but he should be alive in the main game...i need help figuring it out because I went "NO NOT CHASE" in my head and felt like crying. If that was literally after the main game, I'll fucking lose it. I know I don't like Carl but after Trip? HATE THE GUY!
during the "trip" short story, carl is high on acid. he thinks chase is in the car, but he isn't, he's at college. it's possible carl was maybe seeing the embrace, leo's chase tulpa (similar to how duke was seeing "chase" around town before he arrived)
Is there a specific system requirement for the android version? (Like the version or something like that). After downloading the game, whenever I tried to install·it gave an error of some sorts. Or do we need a renpy emulator for this game ?
I haven't played through all the routes just Leo, Caril, and TJ's(2 of 5) and this game is so fucking good. Its horror is perfect it makes you fearful, scared, and creeped out while also making you want to continue the story. They used the VN format to the fullest to enhance to story and make it even more scary. Every conversation is so real and the characters are so well written that there is (almost) no alright bad or good character.
SPOILERS FOR LEOS ROUTE . . . . . . . . . .
Leo's route is so fucking terrifying because everything that happens to Chase is all really happening to him and when Chase is locked in Brian's sex thing platform and you get a look at Chance's fake self scared the FUCK out of me and then when he did wake up and look at himself in the mirror also scared me because I knew exactly what happened to him, and the detail with everything Chase is feeling when he is in that made me want to read more to see how he gets out.

Well... I won't be able to sleep tonight... Great game though!
the world's probably gonna end before i'm ready to play this sadly
I.. finished it...

Jesus... I mean I knew this game was gonna be intense... but god I didnt realize just how much of an impact this would have on me
welcome to the party! who was your first? (route i mean)
TJ was my first route
Poor guy, I feel sorry for you ;w;
it's been three months since i've last touched Echo, and i'm still fucking thinking about it on a daily basis.

loved adastra hated the game based on the humans tour of adastra solely because of amicuss sprite so i think i can handle this :) (im lying)
Well, Adastra fucked me up, so go get the wheelchair for me because this is supposed to be the trainwreck of the two
Will update when and if I get discharged
It is a literal trainwreck, and you will need a literal wheelchair...

not sure if i said it but i love echo, so easy to replay, i get lost every time <3
The amount of sleep I've lost over this game is actually incredibly impressive thank you so much for making such an amazing game.
Idk why but I can't open echo on Android it keeps crashing I've try everything but it still won't open
I JAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO😭😭😭😭
used a different Android and it worked perfectly fine and it's a older Android
sometimes i use this game as a buddhist meditation on the nature of trishna (clinging)
Okay. So...i don't know if it's just me but...did anybody see Trip? HOLY FUCK! I think Chase died...but he should be alive in the main game...i need help figuring it out because I went "NO NOT CHASE" in my head and felt like crying. If that was literally after the main game, I'll fucking lose it. I know I don't like Carl but after Trip? HATE THE GUY!
(SPOILERS)
during the "trip" short story, carl is high on acid. he thinks chase is in the car, but he isn't, he's at college. it's possible carl was maybe seeing the embrace, leo's chase tulpa (similar to how duke was seeing "chase" around town before he arrived)
OH Thanks
Is there a specific system requirement for the android version? (Like the version or something like that). After downloading the game, whenever I tried to install·it gave an error of some sorts. Or do we need a renpy emulator for this game ?
I haven't played through all the routes just Leo, Caril, and TJ's(2 of 5) and this game is so fucking good. Its horror is perfect it makes you fearful, scared, and creeped out while also making you want to continue the story. They used the VN format to the fullest to enhance to story and make it even more scary. Every conversation is so real and the characters are so well written that there is (almost) no alright bad or good character.
