What? You mean Sydney? 12 years old + lacking discernment, Chase will basically be acquitted.
The person most qualified to seek revenge is Flynn──the only person who cared about Sydney, but he chose not to do it, even though he had the ability to return to the scene of the crime.
Should Chase be punished? For what? Justice? This is somewhat morally ambiguous. If he were punished, who would be happy? Syd's family doesn't care at all—they didn’t even bother with a simple judicial autopsy, if it really was murder.
this is my favourite game and top five pieces of media. just ever. and i will gush about it. The character design is amazing, they are written to a tea and the themes are nascar racing right up my alley. the way that the larger portraits are so expressive makes me feel at home and i'm fairly sure stanj did most of them so i'd like to thank the goat for blessing us.
i'm not sure i'll ever be able to get over leo, or tj. especially tj. the heavy theme throught this game that i find is yearning. yearning to go back and fix things, yearning for it to just work, yearning for the people you lost, your childhood innocence. for love. but it remains a pipe dream, something you think about in the small hours of the morning while you cry into your bedsheets pleading for some ounce of relief from the mental stress these fucking pixels put you in and i really like that.
the build up to the floodgates being smashed open and all the anger and heartbreak echo stores being thrust on these characters you love, who feel like real people and the terror of thinking you might have to see one of their corpses on a first playthrough is something no game other than echo has made me feel.
this game will not remove itself from my head and i don't even care, i want it to stay there. when i watch a movie. play another game. listen to a song, i want to think about this game. even though every time i do it feels like 5 years of the worst emotions in the world are crawling up my chest. this game rips open every scab at once in one scene, and gives you loving reasurrance in the next.
and the fucking SOUNDTRACK?? my heart weeps. i would be hard pressed to tell you something bad about echo that is something other than "this game feels like a punishment to my emotions"
in short, it took my three playthroughs to realise carl wears a beanie and not a du-rag and i'm the worlds saddest patheticest bisexual loser
This is the first VN I read and the VN that got me into furry VNs in general, and I have a special place in my heart for it because of that. It really set a standard too :3 love the game, love the horror, just an awesome project in general
I have finished most of the story except for Carl yet... maybe it's because I did TJ's route and got the feeling that his route is the sad one of all the routes. I did Jenna's route then Leo's route, and Flynn's route first, I feel bad for Leo and Flynn in the end. Great Visual Novel I give it a 10/10.
Estoy enamorado de todo en este maldito juego, amo a los personajes, amo el soundtrack, la historia, hubiera amado haberlo jugado antes.
Se me hace muy difícil escribir lo mucho que amo este juego y ni siquiera he terminado todas las rutas y pensar que aun me queda por jugar Arches me emociona muchísimo.
Such a great VN, made me emotional inside, not as much like RTF made me cry but more like a terror feeling which delivered really well...
(SPOILER)
Alright... Just finished 2 routes (TJ and Leo) at first everything seems so slow for me but the buildup was fast around thursday, I'm glad I went to go TJ route first, which then actually gives me a better understanding what the secret means and the one talking inside Chase's mind... Everything was clear and sad at the same time, I was hoping for a good ending for TJ's route but it went waaaaay opposite...
Which got me interested to play another route with Leo and oh boi, it was all sweet at the beginning of his route but everything took a big turn than what I was expecting, I wasn't ready for all the horror it gave and messed up stuffs especially when it revealed the monster, that gave me chills down the spine! The buildup to escaping at the end was great and I was glad to actually got the good ending first try, It was an emotional moment and wished Leo the best, So after, I did the opposite which turns out to be a bad ending and a very sick one... Kinda gave me bad taste of Leo after... Hoping to finish other routes soon

moral of the story:
learn from Supernatural, and burn the body of people you killed so they dont come back and fuck up you relationship

This is literally the best game ive ever played, 100%. (slight spoilers? idk)
TJ's route made me cry, fuck, that hurt me. poor thing. Definetely the worst emotionally.
Leo's id say is worse content wise...brian's scene..fucked me up for a minute, that also hurt, but y'know, the good ending is actually very sweet.
Im just starting carl's route, then I'll do flynn's, then jenna's. looking forward to em!
edit: FLYNN OH GOD MY BABY- HIS ONLY CRIME WAS BEING TALL DARK AND HANDSOME NOOOOOO
