NEW BROWSER SUPPORT!

Yes, you heard that right! Echoes of Continuity is now additionally available to play on browser on the itch page itself! It's still highly recommended that you download the game, however, for the best gameplay experience.

Known Issue: Joysticks for controllers do not work for navigating up and down in menus on the browser build. This is unfortunately a Unity moment, and a known bug in their bug tracker system that's just not fixed. 

Alternatively, keyboard and D-Pad works to navigate menus in the browser build, so you can still navigate the menus through those input methods... just annoying that this is the case.
