I am not sure if this applies to all android users, but the background colors of the game are inverted! Interstingly enough, the CGs are still the same, but not all of them. If I recall correctly, the inverted color CGs are the opening CG and the chapter scenes. And I ADORE Madame Dora's sprite. Exactly how I envisioned her. Good job all in all.
I just finished all the routes and I gotta say, Im loving the eldritch vibes here. I especially love how when you know so little, for example by doing the William route first(which is what I did), the being seems like a force rather than a physical manifestation. Then between the Nik route and the Murdoc route, you get to see that its kinda both? It seems to be a physical being, inhabiting the mines, that has an aura that affects the town of Echo, which is really interesting! I havent checked out what this is a prequel to, but I almost dont want to. I like how this creature has all the eldritch unstoppable devil vibes....until Murdoc tears the photo. Clearly this beast was manifesting through the imagery to affect Sam, but by doing something as simple as ripping up a photo he destroyed that avenue of influence. This is a beast that has great power, but only in the shadows, and can absolutely get its ass beat. I love those kinds of stories, and Im really excited to see where this goes in terms of taking on that creature and destroying it and its influence.
I'm a big fan of your games! Can I introduce them to Japanese gay English learners in my blog? I would appreciate it if you allow me to use some of screenshots (no spoiler, of course) .
Really appreciate the storytelling and updates. But the android version I think could use some work.
Atleast for me, I can't keep up with the stories easily. All of my saves never work whenever I update the android version, in fact Im not able to skip any text either (when starting a new game) it's as if the game resets completely. This wasn't too much of an issue with previous updates but update 9 has broken all the saves now (used to be like one or two wouldnt work).
God DAMN! This is such a good visual novel! Random thoughts:
The character art in this game is easily my favorite out of all the projects. Obviously, the writing is as outstanding and well-done as ever.
Nik is by far my favorite character and route thus far. Words cannot express how much I love his character. I also quite like Yao, he's awesome! I'm... very worried about those bunkhouse photos though...
William is a character I've gone from loving, to hating, to liking. I weirdly adore Todd though. Oh, and I quite like the way Will's route is going! I like the prospect of Will and Sam getting closer, and intimate.
Murdoch is a character I'm uneasy about, but lowkey really like. He seems like a genuine, yet split-second deceptive fellow. Good stuff.
Cliff is the outlier, and yet is still great. Lovely and earnest change of pace, and while he's refreshing, I don't have a feel for his plot yet.
Cynthia is such a sweet and cool woman. I hope she gets every single hug she deserves in life, oh my lord. What an awesome ladyfriend.
I never thought i could be scared in a visual novel, i mean, i even had to turn the lights to read it all, and the last thing i needed to read was the Cliff´s route and the end made me shit my pants xD
The only routes that didnt scared me too much are Nik´s and William´s
The most scary ones i dont know if i should choose Murdoch´s or Cliff´s one, but (spoilers) Murdoch´s one, when youre in the darkroom and see that weird image with that sound for just a sec..dude i was SCARED
This game is amazing so far all the routes intrigue me and scare me at the same time so great job so far , I'm looking forward to this game being finished...
Also does anybody know what this thing from Murdoch's route might be?
Mate, unfortunately I do not know what this could be and I also wanted to know what this thing is. It got me shitting bricks when this sunddenly pops out
I need help I can't download the game, because it says I need a certain programm. I don't understand what program I need can someone help? Btw I am on PC so I use the windows download option
This has probably already been reported but i will say it anyway:
Some particularly long dialogs are cut in the end because they don't fit in the square, so there is no way to read that last part. I'm playing the android version.
I really love how Sam's feelings and thoughts are much clearer to the reader then Chase's. Although it worked quite well with Echo, since we're not supposed to know much about the group at the beginning, having the clear plans of the protagonist on how he really sees the people around him, compared to Chase only dropping hints around about his culpability and stuff.
What the FUCK is that thing in the mirror on William's route?!?! he says "you think you're the first to spill blood in Echo?" and some THING appears right fucking there, missed it completely on my first playthrough, only noticed it by chance when I was going through it again to get to the new content for him
Also, I think in Nik's route some of the music isn't effected by the volume sliders
I freaked out the first time I saw that too. Maybe it's just smoke from the candlelight, maybe it's the "thing". Sam does say that he feels something in his room in other routes (forgot whose route).
Yes, I saw that too. They appear right after William starts to insult Cliff. So, basically, every time something appears, it's above William's shoulder. Once when he talks about murder, and the second time when he becomes aggressive. I really, really don't like this guy in the first place, but if he's somehow a bringer of doom (kind of like Chase), I am not spending anytime with him!
Not related to William, but in the last CG in Cliff's current route you can also see something waay in the background that looks like a person looking onto the scene... no glowing eyes tho
OMFG I TOTALLY MISSED IT TOO. I love you so much for noticing it!! That to me looks like a wendigo! The name is brought up at some point by Jenna in Echo and it just makes so much sense now. Absolutely loved this detail!!!
This is amazing. Finished most of the current Echo routes and I love that you guys are working on this too. Really great characters, atmosphere and storytelling as usual. Just wanted to comment to say thanks and keep it up :).
Yo what. Just finished the Murdoch route and uh....yeah. I feel like he’s going to have the most depth out of all the route simply because of the photography motif...also it’s kinda confusing how the ghostly voice thing said a lot....almost like a rambling of sorts. In Echo, within my very limited play time, it didn’t seem like it did that stuff. Chase was usually alone in his thoughts, but Samuel was with Murdoch when it happened. The picture alteration didn’t really make sense either....but I guess...Echo. Other than me being lost on the voice thingy, great update and thanks!
Hey I just noticed that on the current android build 6, there's a sort of bug in the sprites, on Murdoch's route on the next day after the "bet" he talks to Samuel about his job offering while sprouting a tent! This happens too with Cliff and Nik's route, but on the former is with Murdoch (again) and the latter with Cliff. While I know this is a game feature and of course there will be times for tents to happen, i think those are incompatible with the conversation and albeit short, happens multiple times. And of course, aside of any other bugs, the game is amazing, there isn't many VN's with a rich story AND erotic scenes bundled up together and making sense! Adastra, Echo and this one are rare gems.
Isn't Willlan a wolf though? If so, I'm afraid he'll be the one to get the forced amputation. Also (spoiler for the end of TJ's route), I remember that when Chase is absolutly loosing it in his hotel room, he sees a red fox hanging himself. I'm afraid Murdoch's route isn't going to end well either...
In one of the latest updates on Jenna's route, Chase had an out of character flashback/dream and accidentally ran over someone who was albino, presumably Samuel, he ended up dying after failed attempts to get him out from under the car and was buried in the desert
Yes, but isn't the dream with Sydney's father and Janice ? If so, it's long after Sam's time, especially if he's the victim of the last mass hysteria (which, according to what Clint said, is quite possible).
I have a question, if we play the android version, for future update, how do I actually do that? If I have to update manually, what is the step by step?

i loveee the new update!!! soo much detail has been put into the game!! like when madaam dora blinks!
Regarding William's latest update, that was an entirely different kind of horror than I'd come to expect from the town of Echo. Very well done
Also, loved the moment Samuel and William shared at the end, I love seeing the sweeter and more gentle side of him! Fantastic update!
Woop woop William! Though I really enjoy Nik too.
Todd route pretty please? :(
i honestly ship him with cliff, i hope that we get to see them hit it off if ur relationship goal was for anyone but cliff
honey they are all MINE
damn dud ur such a hoe... i love it
William is so freaking cute omg I love him
ehmm update?
It was updated with William's route at the beginning of the month for patreons so the public version will be available soon.
Dear creator,
I'm a big fan of your games! Can I introduce them to Japanese gay English learners in my blog? I would appreciate it if you allow me to use some of screenshots (no spoiler, of course) .
Sure thing, so long as it's content from the public build!
-George
Superb! Thank you!
Why is it that I'm liking Yao and Todd more than anyone in this VN~? xD
yeye! I honestly ship for cliff and todd <3 they would make a cute couple :> (Spoilers!: todd has a crush on cliff hehe)
Ohohohooooo, a fellow Patreon subscriber~ \(>w<)/
lol im not but i wish i was
Awwwww~ qwq
This says its a prequel to Echo, should I play it first?
i would recommend that u play it 1st since there are hints in the game linking it to echo
Ok, thanks
They can be played in any order and are standalone. Echo hints to TSR and TSR hints to Echo.
YAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nik route is killing me aaaaa
Also, if Yao dies, we riot
Oh, question. Is there a special scene with Jebidiah ? Just wondering
Really appreciate the storytelling and updates. But the android version I think could use some work.
Atleast for me, I can't keep up with the stories easily. All of my saves never work whenever I update the android version, in fact Im not able to skip any text either (when starting a new game) it's as if the game resets completely.

Nik is the best, i NEED to know about his route, he is the nicest and sexiest guy of this VN... i want someone like him
God DAMN! This is such a good visual novel!
Random thoughts:
hey hope for an update soon I'm in suspense!
update?
thank u so much for the update :>>
I never thought i could be scared in a visual novel, i mean, i even had to turn the lights to read it all, and the last thing i needed to read was the Cliff´s route and the end made me shit my pants xD

Amazing game as always
Yao is just "HNNNNGGHHH~!!!" 🤤
This game is amazing so far all the routes intrigue me and scare me at the same time so great job so far , I'm looking forward to this game being finished...
Also does anybody know what this thing from Murdoch's route might be?
I dont know but im sure it made me shit myself xDDDDDDD
Mate, unfortunately I do not know what this could be and I also wanted to know what this thing is. It got me shitting bricks when this sunddenly pops out
It might have to do with the cipher that you find in the library.
Spoiler...
The errors in the poem spell out "check the basement." The pic looks more like an attic though.
I need help I can't download the game, because it says I need a certain programm. I don't understand what program I need can someone help? Btw I am on PC so I use the windows download option
Edit: Nvm I fixed the problem myself
This has probably already been reported but i will say it anyway:
Some particularly long dialogs are cut in the end because they don't fit in the square, so there is no way to read that last part. I'm playing the android version.
I just played nik's route, well even though it's just a short time and still in progress,i already like him so much. I really like the story
The latest update has me hungry for more! It's amazing!
"Aren't you hungry, too?"
I really love how Sam's feelings and thoughts are much clearer to the reader then Chase's. Although it worked quite well with Echo, since we're not supposed to know much about the group at the beginning, having the clear plans of the protagonist on how he really sees the people around him, compared to Chase only dropping hints around about his culpability and stuff.

I just saw that after I read this, and it's definitely a skull with horns. Jesus christ
Thanks for pointing that out! I love seeing details like that. I think there''s another in Cliff's route...
SPOILERS!

During Cliff and William's argument, are those two red eyes peering in from the dark?
ye kind of noticed it too! but didnt give it much thought
Yes, I saw that too. They appear right after William starts to insult Cliff. So, basically, every time something appears, it's above William's shoulder. Once when he talks about murder, and the second time when he becomes aggressive. I really, really don't like this guy in the first place, but if he's somehow a bringer of doom (kind of like Chase), I am not spending anytime with him!

Just saw that too.
... please don't let them do to William what they did to Leo. Not again
Possibly heavy spoilers ahead!

Echo. Other than me being lost on the voice thingy, great update and thanks!You should play TJ's route :x
I would, but having good endings being sad makes me sad🥴
ddaaammnn i ship Todd and Cliff soo much i bet they would make a cute couple <3 i like Cliff but i just think they would be better together
can u make an scene or something where we can see them hit it off?? plzz i beg of u :<
Is there any route for Todd...He seem like a nice guy(not to mention how good looking he is >~<)

Samuel is definitely the guy who lost his legs in the echo timeline, At least thats my theory
I must say that you're totally wrong ,for Samuel is a cougar .The guy who lost his legs in echo was a wolf
oh thank heavens, I was getting attached to Samuel, good thing it isn't him! Good lord!
Isn't Willlan a wolf though? If so, I'm afraid he'll be the one to get the forced amputation.

Yeesh, That won't end good...
I can't even install the newer version even my device is android 8
Edit : gaddemn it i was be able to install it right after i commented this by deleting the old one
I have a question, if we play the android version, for future update, how do I actually do that? If I have to update manually, what is the step by step?
Cliff is Queen change my mind
Cliff is King & Queen final answer
🗿Touché🗿
