So I've done TJ's route and both of Leo's routes and .... WOW, so good! I loved everything; the characterization, the music, the moods that it sets, the storytelling and lore and yes, even the heart-wrenching moments. At first on Leo's route I was hoping for a specific situation to come to fruition (no spoilers for those who haven't gone down that path or played yet) but towards about the middle-end when a certain side character becomes more prevalent, super helpful, and very sweet (who couldn't love them?), my mind started entertaining and hoping for other possibilities. I feel like the first end of his route that I took was quite possibly the "cannon" ending but I could be wrong, with there potentially being no "correct" ending. It seemed to have the most closure and best ending out of the three I've played through so far though, possibly leaving room for a fantastic sequel (hopefully with Chase, the major side character, and some (if not all) of the group).
Absolutely amazing storytelling, scary background music and great visuals genuinely unsettling at times. Never been genuinely scared like I have with this game. Played every route available till the end just waiting for more updates. Keep it up :). (And maybe let us not condemn Flynn? And have a happy ending for Leo? Pretty please)
Finaly got the time to finish Flynn's route and honestly if this is how it ends then this went from grate to crap I'm so unsatisfied, sad and confused. All I wanted in the end was to give him a happy ending and help him through his crap but instead it seems he's in some kind of endless suffering. If this is really the end then I hope there's at less going to be a new VN where we can save them all or something.
I finished the new update to Flynn's route and...I don't know if it's just me, but I'm honestly highkey confused by the ending to his route. Do you think y'all could try and help me understand the ending? Because I am LOST.
Ok sooooooo lol Near the end of his route after his talk with Sydney at that point the hysteria has him right because Sydney is dead. well because of that he goes crazy and somehow manages to catch himself on fire. Literally his skin burn off. It freaks Carl and that salamander guy (forget his name) out. This seems to also be the way he turns into the very monster that was attacking them in his and Leos route. or the monster takes over his body and hes just conscious about it idk because obviously he wasn't the one attacking them when he was there being attacked with them. The part where he goes bling his eyeballs have melted out of his sockets at that point i believe and remember at some point during his route someone describes the monster face as an electrical socket? Flynn develops the same look at this point. Now right before the end remember he was in some weird place? a closet I think and a little girl opened it and spoke? now think back to Leos route where Jenna mentions to chase that she remembers seeing a monster like figure when she was younger but ignore it because she thought it was due to stress or something. that monster was/is Flynn. I think i explained it to the best of my memory you'll have to go back to get further detail but somehow Flynn becomes that creature and gets caught in a time loop that part if confusing itself but maybe its just because that general idea of echo is a loop. history repeats itself.
I could try but i dont wanna do it over the comments of the game to prevent spoilers. I will say however that in the route when i finally played that last bit while i did have more questions at the end... One of my theories was confirmed. One was debunked. And questions i didnt think to ask were answered. I will say that the game is still by no means finished. Wether there will be or is a second ending for flynn is up in the air. But we still have jennas story. And i will say until that route is finished... We will just be going around in circles.
I
do think that the 0.42 update was able to drop a few bombshells
while maintaining the whole mystery aspect to it. It was, for the
most part, able to put things into a new perspective so we have
additional answers surrounding some of the more supernatural elements
of the story, while simultaneously not answering every question, and
putting even more puzzles forwards for us to delve into in
the future. In a way, this is good, as we can be certain that future
updates aren't just going to tell us what we already know, but
actually provide us with more revelations that will serve to tie up
any loose ends, which definitely manages to create excitement
for the future updates of Echo. Unfortunately, this route's
conclusion is quite flawed imo. That’s fine though, as no ending
can ever be truly perfect, especially with a story that has many
layers like Echo. However, the worst part, at least for me, is that
one of the ending’s biggest issues could have been avoided if a
certain technical aspect of the VN was omitted.
The
ending would have been better (in my opinion) if it DID
NOT end with the choices at the final screen, which imply
there exists more beyond the initial ending for this route, when this
doesn't seem to be the case at all. If this is actually true,
and there isn’t any additional ending here, then the final two
choices should have been completely cut, as they carry no weight, and
just serve as means to confuse the player, who then feels
inclined to see if there is some secret by choosing to “wait a
while”, which, in my experience, does nothing. I do think that this has had a
detrimental impact on the ending for this route, because while it
isn't perfect (there are still many unanswered questions, but I
imagine these will be addressed later down the line in another route,
and as said previously, this helps to keep it mysterious until then),
these two choices suggest that there is more to this route when there
is apparently not, which unfortunately, deflates the experience
and makes it quite anticlimactic, as the player is unable to fully
process the ending, as their mind is immediately driven to these
choices, which makes them wonder if there is more beyond what they
have just witnessed as the conclusion, only to realise that there
isn’t.
Now,
this visual novel does take a unique approach to player agency, in
that the choice system is occasionally used to reflect the
character's mental state and the slippage of their sanity, which can
have some dramatic impact when the player is greeted with choices
that are railroaded to an outcome that seems to go against their
character - e.g. the "Condemn..." choices where there is
only one option, despite being presented with multiple, and all of
which show a dark side to the character - which do quite well to
emphasise the whole possession/hysteria themes within the story.
However, there does come a point where an approach can
interfere with the experience, which will ultimately undersell what
has been crafted - in this case, it is the inclusion of the
meaningless choices at the very end. I do think that this has
undersold the conclusion to Flynn's route, as it does naught but
create an initial, and unnecessary confusion, whereby the player’s
focus is drawn to the idea that this route hasn’t yet ended, and
that there is more to be seen, which upon learning to not be the
case, prevents the player from being able to fully process the impact
of the actual ending, as they are left wondering what purpose the
choices they are presented with are supposed to serve, which does
sour the experience slightly as it is pretty underwhelming when nothing seems to happen, and the player is left wondering why that is the case.
Ok I just realised that this is a pretty long winded response, but this
is my interpretation as to why the ending to Flynn’s route was a
bit more confusing than
I felt it should have been. I hope this
all makes
sense lmao.
Regardless,
the devs are clearly very
passionate
as a lot of love has gone into this project, and it is really good to
see a VN that is not stuck in a limbo, and is regularly
being
updated to the point where some conclusions for various arcs are finally
appearing! I do look forward to seeing how everything finally pans out! :) Until then, it's just the waiting game.
All i was able to take out of it if I'm correct (SPOILER MAYBE!?), Flynn starts to hallucinate heavily which is getting worse, Flynn walking to the bar doesn't happen, it was just him walking to the mines. Carl and Dax finds Flynn in the mines, but Flynn is so out of it in his hallucinations, scaring them off and possibly abandoning Flynn in the mines. Flynn continues to allows whatever is possessing him take over, causing Flynn to be stuck in his hallucinations possibly for the rest of his life. Leading to The End.
If anyone else has any other theories, please tell. This ending just seems really downer, Flynn isn't able to get any satisfaction at all unlike Chase in every other route.
Hell¡¡¡¡ I don't get why Flynn think that our otter is a murder, T.J. only said that he saw two brown fur-guys near to him in to the water.... It's anticlimatic that we have to condemn them, and our charecter it's the one tath start that. I think taht it's a great route, but the resolution of it makes you feel like was a waste of time
Is there any actual romantic content?, or isthe new content a repeat of the Carl fiasco? (so much build up for a wall-crashing flop and them staying friends instead of becoming a couple?)
I don't know about Jenna's route (haven't played it yet), but in Flynn's route there is...something (tbh a lot of it just made me highkey uncomfortable), and in TJ's route there is a sort of romance in there, but at the same time there also isn't, if that makes sense.
Ok, so this reminded me of one of my favorite stephen king novels, (desperation i think). Thats a compliment. I only did one route, Leo.
This is the best furry VN I have come across. I loved Adastra and picked this up just to see. The quality of the writing and the story has blown me away. The people on this team are extremely talented!
Starting to look like Flenn and Chase will not end up together I’m not sure it seems like the Writer is really pushing for all the characters to end up with certain people maybe I just chose all the bad options somehow. Which is a shame because I really don’t like how clingy Leo is. I’m also starting to think the player playing the visual Novel is supposed to be the evil spirit possessing the characters and influencing there choices.
Okay, I'm over halfway through TJ's route (my 2nd route, 1st one was Leo), and I'm wondering if anyone knows the song that plays during Friday, when Chase is out of the motel, looking for the next message of the treasure hunt at the lake, before the game transitions to Saturday, and also possibly the song that plays on Sunday during the scene between Chase and Flynn in the lake?
Hey, just out of curiosity, why did you remove the Android download? I was interested in downloading the game so I could play it (but I was busy when I found out about this game), but when I went to go download it later on, the Android download (which is the only way I can play the game) was missing. So, I was just wondering, why is it missing?
Wow I have no words for this. When I went in to the smoke room my stomach was in knots. I actually felt betrayed but now I know he needs me so I'll push past that and do my best to help him.
I played through once and it destroyed me to the point where I deleted it and couldn't think of anything else I'm going to reinstall and try a different route but fuck me this is one of the best stories I've ever seen
That's literally what happened to me, literally just before the exams and I was emotionally destroyed, but the only reason I was able to get a high mark was because I kept thinking "I'll do it for TJ!" Lol... I'm a mess XD
It seems that the uploads for the Echo VN lack the metadata that the Itch.io desktop client uses to figure out which download corresponds to any given OS. As such, using the Itch.io desktop client to download the VN is not currently possible.
All in all one of the best visual novels i played so far. I was kinda argueing with the character design in the beginning. Regardless the storys are amazing and each Character has pretty much his own personality. This VN is unique. Keep up the good work and btw i really like Kudzu so dont hate to much on Leo´s route ;)
The story is truly amazing. One of the most interesting and well developed Visual Novels on Itch.io. Wow. I have only one suggestion: What do you think of including a gallery option to see the images that we get to see on the story?
Excellent story. I followed Leo's route but I was not satisfied, there is no specific route to stay with Leo. I hope they make an update that leads to an end with him. A very good story. Congratulations :)
I'm not a big fan of horror and all this reminds me of a mixture of the TV series Under the Dome and LOST, especially after Flynn and Carl route, but all of this is AWESOME!
Strangely enough but after nights spent reading this masterpiece, I ceased having nightmares.
Man I do not know what to say this fucking game man I gotta congratualate you on this seriously. I took the Leo route and well jeez it brought back memories from when I had a relationship where I had to leave abruptly because the family didnt approve and we werent ever able to talk again, but enough about my sad life im here to try and tell you about how well done your games writing and art is, your game was realistic with its writing and took things very seriously for a horror game the art was good to made me uneasy for some of it but the music is definently what got me the most and or the feeling i was about to be umpscared which I wasn't thanks for not doing that. I hope to see more things from you, if not thats fine because you have already done some great work here. 10/10 thanks for the experience
Oh my god... I played this game for the very first time, and I chose the TJ route... I just finished it and... I dunno... I'm literally crying right now... Will there be more updates for it or is that just the end? It was really unsatisfying, since it didn't show what else happened between Chase and TJ, and I'm just dying to know that they're a couple or something... I would love to see that, but I don't think it will ever happen, will it?... I actually love TJ a lot, and I just want Chase to be next to him and help him in his worst times... I just want them to be happy and move somewhere far away from Echo and elope together... I want something more satisfying, because I feel like I am connected to TJ emotionally, even though he's not real... I never wanted to play this game, but it just kept receiving so much praise, that I had to try it, and I don't regret it, I just want everyone to be happy in the end...
Gosh I know what you mean. I could talk forever about that route, I feel so emotionally connected to TJ from that play through. That ending really fucked me up to be honest. I’m not sure how a story manages to make me feel this way but it’s doing something right. If I could just hug one of the characters lol, I love them so much.
I've only played through once so far, but this is... really different from anything else I've played. It's certainly a novel concept (or I just haven't come across anything else like it). There are lots of places where, one the one hand, player choice would be appreciated, but at the same time, with the story it kind of feels right to not have any choices. And then when there are player choices, the extent to which they either do or don't much seem to affect the story is... unexpected. But again, only played it once, it may feel very different on a different route.

It will certainly stay with me for long time

So far I've only finished one route BUT OH BOY did it sure make me feel things :)
Good game tho
Guys, your windows download for Echo on itch.io is broken. it says the file is hosted on an incompatible third party site if that means anything.
i love your novel guys keep it up, ive been coming back to your stories for years now.
"I say it to you" is one of the freakiest lines ever
Finaly got the time to finish Flynn's route and honestly if this is how it ends then this went from grate to crap I'm so unsatisfied, sad and confused. All I wanted in the end was to give him a happy ending and help him through his crap but instead it seems he's in some kind of endless suffering. If this is really the end then I hope there's at less going to be a new VN where we can save them all or something.
Are you guys gonna update the Android version? It currently is still 0.41
I finished the new update to Flynn's route and...I don't know if it's just me, but I'm honestly highkey confused by the ending to his route. Do you think y'all could try and help me understand the ending? Because I am LOST.
Same here, this ending left me confused. Flyn's Sat & Sun brought up more questions than answers...
Could someone confirm this - are there multiple endings for Flyn's route because I was only able to find one?
I tried all the options that were given in the new update, and I got the same ending every time.
Ok sooooooo lol Near the end of his route after his talk with Sydney at that point the hysteria has him right because Sydney is dead. well because of that he goes crazy and somehow manages to catch himself on fire. Literally his skin burn off. It freaks Carl and that salamander guy (forget his name) out.

The only romance that I saw was in Leo's route. Can't say about Jenna's.
Really love the story, kinda sad that Leo is left alone in both endings. Awesome game and writing.
Ok, so this reminded me of one of my favorite stephen king novels, (desperation i think). Thats a compliment. I only did one route, Leo.
This is the best furry VN I have come across. I loved Adastra and picked this up just to see. The quality of the writing and the story has blown me away. The people on this team are extremely talented!

I’m also starting to think the player playing the visual Novel is supposed to be the evil spirit possessing the characters and influencing there choices.
why you make me do tat to my Flynn....great game just tell me i get flynn in the end XD
I felt the same way I was clinking around the screen hopeing to find some kind of hiden option hopeing to avoid it.
Okay, I'm over halfway through TJ's route (my 2nd route, 1st one was Leo), and I'm wondering if anyone knows the song that plays during Friday, when Chase is out of the motel, looking for the next message of the treasure hunt at the lake, before the game transitions to Saturday, and also possibly the song that plays on Sunday during the scene between Chase and Flynn in the lake?

It's up again!
Kinda wish there was a better ending with Leo but great VN otherwise~
Wow I have no words for this. When I went in to the smoke room my stomach was in knots. I actually felt betrayed but now I know he needs me so I'll push past that and do my best to help him.
Go get 'im, tiger.
I played through once and it destroyed me to the point where I deleted it and couldn't think of anything else I'm going to reinstall and try a different route but fuck me this is one of the best stories I've ever seen
That's literally what happened to me, literally just before the exams and I was emotionally destroyed, but the only reason I was able to get a high mark was because I kept thinking "I'll do it for TJ!" Lol... I'm a mess XD
Do game has scenes porn?
yeah, but it's only in text. this isn't really a porn game
It seems that the uploads for the Echo VN lack the metadata that the Itch.io desktop client uses to figure out which download corresponds to any given OS. As such, using the Itch.io desktop client to download the VN is not currently possible.
Might this be something that could be fixed?
Honestly, Game Theory should do a video on this. I'm not even kkidding.
Yeah, just a few problems with that
Why? Just put a warning before the vid and censor any stuff referencing sex for yt
or just don't include them.
Leo was the one that got my heart ripped out....and my legs chopped off😢
All in all one of the best visual novels i played so far. I was kinda argueing with the character design in the beginning.

Strangely enough but after nights spent reading this masterpiece, I ceased having nightmares.
So if condemn Flynn the only choice? Also do Flynn and Carl have a thing?
Man I do not know what to say this fucking game man I gotta congratualate you on this seriously.

I hope to see more things from you, if not thats fine because you have already done some great work here. 10/10 thanks for the experience
what changed in the recent updates?
(this game is 10/10)
I love the Lynchian atmosphere so much. McSkinny you are my lord and savior.
I really love this game so far, making me play through the night and making me semi depressed... but I still fucking love this game
Which choice is better? "This is fucked up" or "play it cool"? I wanna know which one has the better impact later on.
Oh my god... I played this game for the very first time, and I chose the TJ route... I just finished it and... I dunno... I'm literally crying right now... Will there be more updates for it or is that just the end? It was really unsatisfying, since it didn't show what else happened between Chase and TJ, and I'm just dying to know that they're a couple or something...

I’m not sure how a story manages to make me feel this way but it’s doing something right. If I could just hug one of the characters lol, I love them so much.
Yeah, and honestly, Leo looks even more hugable now XD
What's the update schedule?
I've only played through once so far, but this is... really different from anything else I've played. It's certainly a novel concept (or I just haven't come across anything else like it). There are lots of places where, one the one hand, player choice would be appreciated, but at the same time, with the story it kind of feels right to not have any choices.

I'll be honest, the lack of Echo on this site always made me itchy(-o?). Glad to see it here!
