Contains spoilers






I Not finished the game, but i have several problems. It gonna be a really good vn, just the problem is, i can't identify myself as Chase at TJ's route. At Flynn's i don't like i'm not Chase anymore and i don't like the idea to see the things in Flynn's eyes. I used to love thriller. My favourite anime is Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, but i played the game as Chase, it's always use "I", "Me", "My" or etc. In TJ's route, i don't want to be an asshole...

It would be okay, if the game don't identify myself as Chase, but hell, it hurts to be a shit person in TJ's route!

Ah, but you, the reader, are not Chase, and that's the point the VN is trying to make (Jenna's route will make this clear, that's all I can say without spoiling it for you). This is one of the reasons why I love Echo, it plays around with genre conventions and standards, making you question everything after a plot twist is revealed. It is no coincidence that "real" choices are very limited in Echo, compared to most other VNs.

And with Flynn, pay attention to the moment the perspective changes. What happened to Chase that caused the change? Why did we follow Flynn and not someone else? It all has a purpose and ties together, and coming up with theories and trying to find the real reason is 60% of the fun I got from playing Echo. 

Also, notice how in Adastra you can chose Marco's name, but in Echo Chase's name is chosen for you.

PS. Echo isn't a thriller VN, I'd classify it as horror/mystery. So you'll be disappointed expecting to get a thrill out of Echo without putting any work in yourself.

I can't say Echo is a horror, because it not even scared me, maybe a little, but also i not really like horror, because horror is too scary, and there are a lot of twist and that's why i say it's more like thriller. Well, i can understand your statement. I can agree with u in a lot of part, maybe it's jut not my taste. Also i can enjoy this VN 75%. Maybe i identified myself as Chase, because i have an arachnaphobia too, also at Flynn's route i was able to choose what i really really want. I just hope the team will survive and i not disappoint in Chase. I hope he didn't kill Sydney. Flynn's route will be the first and the last for me i think. I still feel myself a dipshit in Toby's route. :/
