Warning: spoilers. Lots of spoilers. You have been warned.
This is one of the most disappointing pieces of media I have ever seen. I don't think words alone can describe my utter hatred towards this game and its characters. I finished four out of five routes last week, and I won't be completing route five. This game has disappointed me too much already.
The first problem is that the plot is never concluded. You have a mystery and you don't solve it, I don't care if "That's the point!" It's really unsatisfying and leaves me feeling like I've wasted my time. Even playing two routes back to back should answer the questions the first one left it doesn't. Flynn's route and TJ's routes should answer the questions the other leaves, and it doesn't. It doesn't answer the question of who murdered Sydney, it just leaves it and chooses to only use it to attempt to make you feel something, and it doesn't work.
The town history plot was boring from the beginning, as well as the entirety of Carl's route. It was so slow and felt like it was 75% filler, and the interesting part, being the part where Carl, Jenna, Raven, and Chase are in the weird places, is basically summed up to be a dream. A very frustrating ending that is always unsatisfying!
The final plot point is the town histaria plot, which is just stupid. It's impossible to take seriously and gets boring in 15 minutes. Leo's whole route is basically about this and it doesn't work considering half the people in Echo are already insane, so you just make it absurd by making them more insane.
The second big problem is with the characters, I hate every character in this game. They are all the most bland, unlikeable, annoying characters I've ever had the displeasure of going through a story with. Carl is a stereotypical stoner but with mental issues, Leo is an obsessive ex, TJ is Religious and way too sensitive, Flynn is an asshole, and Chase has no personality. This is the main cast and there isn't a single interesting one. There all dicks to each other and it makes the whole game grating to go through.
Finally, the complete lack of horror, comedy, or anything interesting in the writing. This is the most suggestive part given everyone's humor and what makes people scared is different. What's here for horror is the equivalent to a creepypasta, the dream sequences, the gore depictions, and the torture scenes aren't even disturbing. Any attempt at humor falls flat on its face, there are maybe three instances where I laughed, one of those being a scene that's supposed to be scary. (See my previous comment for the image)
Overall this games complete lack of anything interesting or enjoyable is disappointing. 0/10
