The visual novel medium is a difficult one to maintain interest, but Faint Echo sure did. The scene effects, scene transitions, sound and atmosphere, and engaging story made this a breeze to get through. Just a slight bug in that the dialogue box is susceptible to double-clicks when only a single click is pressed, so it's easy to skip a dialogue screen, but having the "Back" button there is a big help when this happens.
I ended up leaving the apartment, though wish I was vigilant enough to save before that point so I could experience the rest of the story. Perhaps something to integrate in that ending, letting players return to the crossroads of choice so they can get the other ending without having to play the game from scratch. Was nonetheless quite impressed with this horror game.
