don't ignore the mental health disclaimer please, you'll regret it. if you look at the cw and think "im okay to play this, im stable," then you're not. someone stable would have glossed over it because they already know it doesn't apply to them. the vn can wait until a time where you are able to think about this comment and laugh at how much better things have gotten. <3
I started this VN half a year ago, had to stop after two days, tried again tonight, and now I feel like I´ll be having nightmares.
Amaizing work, this hit me harder than any other anime, book or movie, altough at this rate I will never finish this game, I usually do all routes but I can´t even continue Leo´s route (my first) for more than two hours without feeling like I can´t breath.
Dont download from links in the comments they are FAKE, and will get you hacked don't download from "Dev Slime" and other users if you download them they are ratware and will steal EVERYTHING from EVERY browser they possibly can.
It's always a euphoric experience when you play a visual novel for the first time, & you go into it with the most positive attitude... & yet you finish it off with a broken heart in many ways, yet you wouldn't trade that pain for anything else in the world. THAT was what playing Echo was like for me.
I remember vaguely coming across a comment years ago saying that something along the lines of, "You're probably not mentally ready for what this vn will do to you." I took it with a grain of salt & hit download. The more routes I played, the more my heart shattered, & the more invested I found myself wanting answers. Like... the end of Tj's route man. That broke me.
All in all, if you're thinking about giving this game a try, do be warned: it's not for the weak at ALL. I shed some tears, & my overall perspective has changed from first playing the game. I'm definitely not the same from when I started, versus finishing as of last night. A beautifully written game, I recommend playing it at night, since that's what I did to heighten the experience for me bwahaha, & grab yourself a drink. Preferably alcohol for my tastes, but juice or water would suffice just fine.
Kick back, TRY to relax, & enjoy the wondrous story Echo has in store for you :)
one of the standout experiences of media in my life. about 40 hours spread in a period of 3-4 years, i'm really sad i can't experience any of it for the first time anymore, even though i'm not always fond of the characters' decisions/actions. i definitely feel like a different person before and after this, just like with adastra.
Its so sad that Echo was just discontinued, i would've loved to see more about the characters including Keith and the tetanus alley crew, how they handle life after the events of the game, answers to all the questions raised by the game. Overall theres a bunch of things that the game does incredibly well but, kinda forget about some other things.
Ps: Micha is the best character of Echo, prove me otherwise.
Well there's Arches, though I think only one or two characters that appeared in echo reappear there. Stories have to end somewhere, they can't spend an infinite amount of time exploring every detail. I mean if you really want that level of detail there's a ton of fanfic out there.
Echo is discontinued? I thought it was just finished. Also, I agree with wanting to see more about the characters. I'd love a Sydney route; I really enjoyed the brief moments we had in Flynn's route and I want to see everything that happened from his perspective.
There was so much that they could have, added to the universe, they tried something with The smoke room but they had some complications and now the project is gone and the fact that The smoke room was set in a different universe. They're dont need to be routes, just new hidden stories like the others, again would've been awesome.
Hi, Echo was not discontinued. The original Echo is fully finished, and the sequel Arches is also fully finished. The project is not "gone" and technically could be revisited, though probably not anytime soon.
Hi I need help, about echo Iv just download the game on android but for some reason when i start a game and typing on tge screen a few times it exit the game, iv tried deleting it and then downloading it again and even restarted the phone but nothin seems to work
Are there any plans to ever use the characters here again (be it actual new content, a reboot, or something similar to Route 65) again? Really I’m just desperate for this story not to be over…
If you really want more content there's an infinite amount of fanfic out there. Stories need an endpoint, you can't go on forever. FYI Route 65 began as a fanfic that eventually got adopted into the canon.

this game is probably one of the best vn I've ever played in my life, amazing work for the plot, the drawings, everything!
first vn to actually make me cry at each ending...

Flynn's and Leo's route BROKE me
I know right! had me terribly sad
guys can someone please tell me the name of the track "mitt.ogg"??? i cant find the actual name anywhere and shazam doesnt recognize it.
Is it this track?
People have uploaded most of the OST to YouTube thankfully
oh thanks, i didnt know that mitt is its actual name
does anyone know what happened to the fangame Echo: The Canon Route? i cant seem to find the thing
moral of the game : never EVER date your ex
This image, which could perfectly be in echo, It is part of the saltpeter mines of northern Chile, the image taken from Wikipedia
I just finish Arches and just known that I should play Eacho first.
I honestly would pay to being able to play it for the first time again 🤗

Is anyone else unable to open this on Mac?
I'm playing it on my Mac fine. Do you get a specific error? And this might be a dumb question but you've downloaded the Mac version?
its a tracback.txt error. Says: I’m sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
After initialization, but before game start. Exception: CoreAudio error (OpenAComponent): -50
then a long list of text
getting the same error myself currently

P.S.: Kudzu is cooler than Micha ;)

How in the hell ive missed the hidden side stories -_-. welp here we go again
A question, can you do Jenna's route with the option of being gay? Or is it mandatory to put the bi option?
Yes, you can play Jenna's route with the option of being gay and that does change some dialogues and things btw Jenna and Chase.
Hi I need help, about echo Iv just download the game on android but for some reason when i start a game and typing on tge screen a few times it exit the game, iv tried deleting it and then downloading it again and even restarted the phone but nothin seems to work
Its a bug with newer models, unfortunately theres no fix. The only way to play echo now is on Pc
Are there any plans to ever use the characters here again (be it actual new content, a reboot, or something similar to Route 65) again? Really I’m just desperate for this story not to be over…
Yeah... i have terrible news for you.
If you really want more content there's an infinite amount of fanfic out there. Stories need an endpoint, you can't go on forever. FYI Route 65 began as a fanfic that eventually got adopted into the canon.
