While the different routes of echo are, tonally, very similar at least until day 6 I appreciate that TSR's are a lot more varied. William's route is refreshing in that starts off with Sam absolving himself of guilt, and thus reducing Echo's influence on him, only to be pulled into schemes that will no doubt build up plenty of guilt later on. It's got that Wild West Crime drama feel that I absolutely love and it is also my favorite one thematically as well. We know how it all ends up but you can't help but root for the virtuous sheriff as the Echo slowly corrupts the town.
Murdoch's is perhaps my second favorite being the most horror-oriented route. Even if I didn't like the idea of getting close to someone so obviously two faced (or only apparently due to the echo seeing as no one else notices), Murdoch is a very interesting character.
Between almost every line of new dialogue and scene change, the android version glitches out, usually a flash for the dialogue but multiple seconds when it comes to scene changes. On top of this, it conflicts with the previous Smoke Room version, meaning I have to uninstall and then skip to where I was, and it no longer has the smoke room's icon on the app, showing the Renpy snake girl instead of the ash tray.
I get the feeling that something went wrong when I downloaded it, but I felt it would be better to mention it here just incase it's not on my end.
On Android 11 constantly getting error when I press start deleted and reinstalled still getting the error pressing ignore does nothing just brings up another one infinitely
I'm really enjoying this so far. I played all the routes and I think I like Murdoch's best. The art is phenomenal. Writing is superb as expected. I love Sam's southern twang and attitude. There were definitely some skin-crawling moments (most notably the intro, the darkroom, and the donkey head), but so far this story is significantly less creepy than Echo.
The more I play, the more I want to go to echo and unravel its greater mysteries. You guys are really good at laying them down. Every update is always something to look forward to. Cheers 🥂
None in particular. You can chose to play this one and still enjoy the other though I'd recommend playing the other first since it's mostly finished by now.
I honestly wasn't expecting to warm up to Ralph. I didn't even realise he was an Aussie. And the theme of pictures and perception changing depending on your mental state really does creep me out. That fear of insanity is classic, and yet so rare these days.
Your team really are savants when it comes to horror.
This was the first one of your visual novels I tried. I think it is really well put together and written! I really like Samuel, he's a unique and interesting character. I can't decide which route I like the best, they all are interesting and riveting stories! The old west theme and the mystery is really great!
I very much look foreword to future updates and continuation of the story.
I got invested in the story but my night owl schedule is keeping me from playing echo since I don't want to see faces at the corner of my eye every night.
Boy, that's the exciting part. You watch horror movies when it scares you the most, to get the best experience out of it. The night I found The Smoke Room I had nightmares. No joke! I waked up before dawn feeling there was something in the dark. It was fucking thrilling. That feeling lasted for some weeks and I even hesitated to read the first update. Don't sabotage yourself. Go for the full experience! Totally worth it!
I've practiced active meditation so much so that I don't even mind walking in the dark alone at midnight. I do feel something sometimes but they always disappear when I notice their presence.
It's still thrilling at times but more so on the excitement and mystery rather than fear of the unknown 💃

But then again, Android users are always behind when new update comes. :V
So they put a lot of content right?
How often does The Smoke Room update, is that William's route has hooked me and I need to know more UwU
about once a month. updates come out on patreon 2 weeks early
I hope you can have a relationship with Todd in the future ^-^

The android version is not installing on my phone ( android 10 )
Maybe its not a final android build?
No android yet?
nikolai, i need more about him
nsfw???
Yes.
You're a prostitute of course there will be a NSFW. We ain't nuns here.
Um before i play this game i can sense there's a bit romance in here is there more than 1 route?
Really thank you
Any solutions up to now?
This is happening to me too
Same
Just started on Williams route, I will protect Todd at all costs that mans is so precious
Do you think Todd is a ancestor of Chase?
I wanna say yes but probably not
Yeah Todd is sus gay.
Todd is Sydney's ancestor.
For some reason, the installation fails at the very beginning.

I can't update to the 12 build any help?
I just played the build 12! Wow, great new addition to the Echo lore!
I don't know if I understand it, might have to go through it again! But wow thats just I don't know! How do you guys come up with this stuff?
This novel is too heavy
My phone doesn't have much space :(
The more I play, the more I want to go to echo and unravel its greater mysteries. You guys are really good at laying them down. Every update is always something to look forward to. Cheers 🥂
Me too! It's such a complex story!
Android version wont download for me :(
It fails at 60% i tried many times even at different device it wont download it stop at 60% and fails pls help :(
Try using a different browser besides google or go incognito
What order do I play the Echo series in?
None in particular. You can chose to play this one and still enjoy the other though I'd recommend playing the other first since it's mostly finished by now.
Yay, new update for smoke room!
I look foreword to it.
Really loving the new Murdoch update.

Has... has Ralph been australian this whole time and I've just glossed over all the slang in his dialogue? Since that was definitely Waltzing Matilda

Heya
best boi
They are really edging this William route, when can we get the next update for his route??
Why can't I download the new build? It says it is only available as build 11 on android.
I'm having the same problem ;-;)
Android builds always come out slightly after the initial public builds, as I myself do not make them.

I like this game and it's approach as a prequel and standalone. When will the new update release?
late night the 14th on patreon, then generally two weeks after that here
And it does not cost that much to become a patron and you can get access to the really intriguing content just released! I'm glad I did.
If I was to subscribe via patreon, would I get early updates for the smoke room?
Yup! New update is coming out within two weeks on patreon.
Umm...how about the build updates of all your VN in public? Could you tell us.
It's fine, if you won't tell the public released yet. We will wait for the public released.
hiatus?
Uhh, no

3am is my usual time to play The Smoke Room and Echo updates. ;)
I swear once in my tired, scared state I saw a shadow jump from behind one plant to the other.
Wish I could've experienced the same for myself 😔
