I'm not a religious man, but if there is hell, Lawrence will burn there for eternity.

Mega Spoilers if you haven't read all the routes yet













1) Why is Chase haunted by that spirit and who is it??

Chase is haunted by the spirit of Samuel Ayers, the man who died after being hit by Mr Bronson's (Sydney's dad) van. After Sam's death, his spirit possessed Mr Bronson

Sometime later, when Sydney and his dad are on a hunt, they quarrel with each other, and when Sydney runs off and Mr Bronson goes after him, they both stumble upon an abandoned white van. Mr Bronson recognizes it as the van which he killed Sam with. He starts acting weird and eventually shoots himself with the shotgun. After that, Sam's spirit, which had been in Bronson all the time, leaves his body and possesses Sydney.

Then, on the day when the main cast is at the Lake Emma, Sydney is playfully fighting with TJ (as always, since TJ is weak and Sydney loves wrestling), but then, seemingly because of Sam's possession, the situation escalates as the playful fight turns into an attempt to drown TJ in the lake. And this leads to ⬇️

2) What exactly happened to Sydney??

Sydney was drowned by Chase in Lake Emma after Sydney tried to drown TJ. Chase manages to intervene just in time to save TJ, and he starts fighting with Sydney. Driven by hate towards Sydney (both because of him always bullying/messing with TJ and because of the ongoing rumors that he's the one who killed Mr Bronson), Chase tries to drown Sydney. Whether Sydney is killed on the spot or later, when he is transported to the hospital - I don't remember. Either way, in that moment Sam's spirit leaves Sydney's body and possesses Chase.

When people asked them about Sydney's death, Chase fabricated a story claiming Sydney drowned while swimming in the lake to conceal his crime.

3) Why is Flynn such a mean bitch??

Sydney and Flynn were best friends, so as his other friends moved on, Flynn was deeply affected by his death. While everyone else had believed Chase's account of Sydney's death, Flynn knew that something was amiss. As TJ was the only witness of Sydney's demise, Flynn started pestering TJ with questions about the incident. TJ was always answering the same thing - that Sydney just drowned in the lake while swimming, but Flynn knew that was not true. The friend group started shielding TJ from Flynn, portraying Flynn as a bully and TJ as a victim, when in reality it was not like that at all

All in all, Flynn's 'bitching' stems from his wish to uncover the truth surrounding his best friend's fate, albeit in a less than amicable manner

The main story is finished, but they will release a 1.0 version that includes a new short story and polishes/fixes

The dream of Devon with Cam in his head is Cameron imagining/seeing an alternative timeline where he was shot by Brian in the mines and his spirit possessed Devon (kinda like how Sam possesses Chase)

What species is the main character? Or is it up to player's interpretation?

There are a couple cases when characters have sex, but those scenes get skipped
And there are no NSFW sprites/CGs
The maximum you can get is a character without shirt or in just underwear

There's not really any difference between playing it before Echo or after Echo, but it can explain some mini-details in the main game

Is Clint a lemur?

I'd say leave Jenna for last since it has the most positive ending in the game, and maybe do Carl first because I think it's the most chill route in the game

I've literally lost track of updates because they come out once in like 999 days, and there are no even logs of what exactly is added in the update

Like the only way to get updates monthly (or idk how often) is to be a patron 💀

I really like this novel and want to see how the story ends, but the large rarity of public updates made me lose motivation to look forward to new updates

The scene when they're walking on the road at night
You need to agree that Echo breaks people

I have a question
Why is the extra content (music, images, concept arts, etc) available only in the Patreon version? Isn't stuff like that usually free to see? (since we already see those images and hear the music in-game, why is it paid to explore them in the gallery?)

Windows

Is it just me or the game doesn't open? (1.61)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1opecc1Wkh4iUxIYTlF0c5NtbbmmQ_30fIH2b5JXb...

They are Gilbert and Mark

I'd choose pendant

There is one in the Lars Special Episode (which is available only on Patreon)

It was announced that it will release around July 27th

Is it revealed anywhere who's the author of Sydney's treasure hunt clues?

Is it normal when a new update comes out, my latest save throws me back by 1-2 scenes from where I actually saved the game?

I think his death is the price for learning the truth (like maybe the evil spirit decided to show him the truth, but only for his soul in return)

I really feel you
There are many good novels out there, but sometimes their long update periods/unknown status make me gradually lose interest in them, and by the point when an update finally comes out, I may have already forgotten half of the story/events, and in that case I either have to reread the whole thing to understand what's going on, or just kinda abandon it for some time

I can easily say that Echo is one of the best, if not the best furry visual novel
It's not a typical dating simulator or "choose this route and you'll become lovers with this character, happy ending"
It destroys that typicality and tells traumatic stories with thrilling writing that leaves you with different emotions for a while when you finish the reading
Every main character (even some of the minor characters) has their own unique story which will leave some impact on you
The visuals (sprites, backgrounds, CGs, music etc) are also done great, they perfectly fit the story atmosphere and convey the characters' feelings/emotions to readers
If you're looking for interesting visual novels to read, I'd definitely recommend Echo (and also the other novels from The Echo Project since they are equally as great as this one)

Do public updates usually come out after ~2-4 months after the Patreon release or does it only happen sometimes due to some unexpected problems? Is there a set update schedule?
(Just wanna know when can we approximately expect Lars Day 9 and other updates to release publicly)

If you buy a patreon subscription, it automatically takes money on the 1st day of every month

Helpppp
Is there any way to replay one-time scenes? (scenes that play only one time and cannot be replayed if you rollback)

Is it available for Playful Lion level or do I need to get a higher level?

I was given different answers about this, so I still wonder
Will the Lars Special Episode ever come to public or it's only, only only for Patreon?
I need to know if I should pay or wait until the public update release

Will the Lars special episode eventually come out to the public?

I still wonder if Cooper genuinely cares about Cyrus or he just sees him as an item that would bring him a lot of money when he sells it

I mean, when they're in the train, Cyrus is being nervous and anxious that this is the last day when he sees Cooper, while Cooper is just sitting and happily searching for the lodestar's price. I think that already shows that he only cares about money and nothing about Cyrus personally

🎄🎄Happy New Year Everyone!!!! 🎄🎄
Have a great time celebrating and have funnn

Everyone have a great Christmas!!!
And also a Happy New Year in just a week 🎊🎊

Help I'm really scared of what's going to be next
And I also made it worse for me by also seeing what happens if we reject him 💀💀
hrtohjdijdhprdi I really can't wait for Day 9, the game has good endings right??

How to get the choice with trying to unlock Mark's phone?
(I got it once and wrote random numbers just to see what happens if I fail, and after I failed and rolled back to the choice point it just disappeared and got replaced with Walter saying that he shouldn't mess with Mark's phone) (Mark day 7)

Who is the mysterious phone guy? (Lars day 8) He firstly called when they were at the store, and then it called later when they were talking about losing the pendant. I hope that's not someone dangerous. I really hope that guy isn't gonna like hurt or kill someone later 

I'm playing Gil day 6 and do you know how he lied to Walter? I didn't understand
