Echo is the center of the timeline between the original of the Echo is the The Smoking Room VN  and the future or afterthought I guess of it is the Arches VN also didn't know this is i guess the idea of the TV show or movie they watch is Adastra VN. I really love this VN so much on how much it connects the other VN or the Universe of the Echo Project and love the scary bits too soo gooood and not all about sex and love relationship stuff.

My rating on each paths:

Carl: A young adult who can't identify himself or don't know what to do. The ending to me is kinda confusing so i'd say he god possessed by John?? idk 

Leo: Clearly an obssesive ex boyfriend who can't move on or accept that they are done with Chase (aka Delulu/Crazy). The ending of it was I'd say the 2nd good endings but sad one cause Chase will never work out with Leo ever again. 

TJ: Religous guy that is hard to cope especially he is the reason why Flynn is angry at his that he know how Sydney died. The ending of it is I'd say the 3rd good but also sad one cause what Chase did on Flynn. 

Flynn: Asshole Behaviour also want to squeeze the truth on TJ because he saw how he died. The ending was so bizzare and scary but it shows that the Thing is actually him but he also appeared in Jenna's closet when she was very young.

Jenna: Logical and Supportive on Chase. The ending was the 1st and the best one I've ever read because it basically confirms it that Flynn is the THING near the end but I wanna know how tf can he do that like honestly.
