Finally finished Echo!
It took me around 9-10 months to finish it and mainly because I took a long break from it.
It's not in my interest to review it since I'm not quite sure if I'm capable of doing that. Though there is no need for it 'cause there already is a review on the game (it's also really recent): https://youtu.be/TJ-LA9KfMa0.
The last route I took was Jenna's route. Honestly, it didn't touch me as deeply as the other routes (especially Leo's). Probably because the loss that Chase has gone through at that route wasn't as heavenly exaggerated as in previous routes (even though he only lost his not-much-of-a-boyfriend-anymore Leo). Though, I can't say that the route was in any way or form boring. Certain parts definitely shocked me: like Carl's disappearance, the Leo and Micha revelation, the thing that happened in Heather's house... However, there was no real emotional attachment between Chase and any other character making the whole ending tame and somewhat peaceful.
It's a strange feeling ending Echo. I can't say that I feel any particular loss or grief ending it, but I suppose I somewhat got attached to it. Especially because it showed me that I'm not straight and peaked my interest in dating. Furthermore, it did manage to make me feel shocked and horror but also joy and a sense of belonging somehow. So I guess it's currently the only game that made me feel things.
I'm planning on playing either Arches or The Smoke Room next (both of them continuing and deepening Echo's lore). I'm guessing I'll settle with The Smoke Room first 'cause it's the prequel to Echo so I may understand a few things about it better.
