For now those are the only 3 routes. More routes are planned in the future

I believe it's a matter of preference; the game is advertised as a romance VN. Because of this the writer would be expected to focus more on the relationship between the MC and love interest, simply because that's what the general audience came for.

I'm not a particularly big fan of the romance aspect either, however, I can still recognize that this doesn't necessarily make the game objectively worse.

love the art style, looking forward to continued updates!

You're right, you can comment whatever you'd like. I feel like the amount of controversy surrounding your comment is a bit unnecessary, however, I would like to just point out that the reason people are upset is not because you didn't provide insightful feedback but because it was just a rude thing to say.

Nice to see a story with so much potential being continued! Looking forward to the next update, great work!

Here are some VNs I've read that were very enjoyable, albeit still not a replacement for Echo. They all have some aspects of horror and mystery and I would highly recommend them:

Santa Lucia

9:22 

Pervader

Dawn Chorus

Hopefully you'll like them, if you haven't read them already.

Then you would be achieving the opposite of what you want by following the bottom-top order as Flynn and TJ's routes contain some of the most massive reveals of all the routes

Oh my goodness, when I saw the updated thumbnail I had to do a double take. I wasn't expecting this to return after the 1 year + hiatus, but I'm not complaining!

Blackgate... oh no

Oh my god...

Wow, the new Klaus content was pretty intense, it definitely surpassed my expectations! I hope we won't have to wait too long for the next update to that route.

Carl definitely seems bi, however, I'm pretty confident that TJ is asexual so I think that's the most "straight" you can get.

That's a very high mark to live up to

You're acting as if writing this VN is some sort of job, I'm fairly sure that the reason the writer decided to make this story was for fun. Implementing a schedule for a hobby project is totally unnecessary ESPECIALLY when it takes away from the fun of writing and adds pressure for no good reason.

Oh wow that's insane, when does this happen during the story?

Carl -> Leo -> Jenna -> TJ -> Flynn was the order that McSkinny (writer) agreed with
