so, i loved this, but there is one thing chase said that is stuck in my troath ".....predators...." otters are predators, and for me makes absolutly no sense for him to say that specifically. even though this is just a prequel to a horror visual novel, it's something that sounded very wierd in it, and i know you are not going to change that now, and i'm not saying to do that, however i hope this comment helps not to make a that "mistake" in future projects. keep up good work
look, im going to explain something, i said "mistake", as it is'nt correct but tolerable because it's just a freakin story, it's an information i gave hoping to help, but have noticed alot of deslikes or what ever you call it here, and feel like people are seeing my comment in a negative way, it's just a fact i gave that for anyone that studies biology and etc is questionable. however i do admit to the mistake that i dont know wich species of otter he is, sea otters are not so prone to violance, and have sharks and killer whales as predators, and north american river otter is said to have some predators, but there is alot of otters, and i know that some species can fight of jaguars for example, and im not talking about the giant river otter, im talking about smaller species
I mean, other animals eat Otters. he could just be commenting on how scary predators can look as well. After all otters are seen as cute in Echo, not scary predators.
I find wolves cute and cool as well as otter, and btw, wich otter species are you talking about getting eaten by other predators?? because i have seen otters kicking jaguars buts, and bullying other animals
Just a hunch, but is this game based on the town of Echo, Utah? It was founded in the 1800s and today is very, very small, so based on some of the lore I've read on these itch.io pages, it seems like it would fit, and there's a town not too far from it called Payson, so to me, it just kinda makes sense. Plus, with the Mormon references, I immediately think Utah lol. Then again, I'm not really super far into the game just yet.
Yes I do believe it is based on Echo in Utah. There is Coalville and the Echo Reservoir right next to it as well as the locations general look/feel and various aspects of the town.
Not to mention the Wikipedia page on Echo does mention the VN and how it is 'loosely based on Echo and the surrounding area'.
Just remember it is a fictional town so doesn't necessarily have to be based on real location, even if we would like it to be ;)
Just finished and as usual great VN. Want to make sure i have not missed something thou, do we ever find out what was happening in the Van and why Leo was recording at the party? Or is that still to come?
Yeah Leo was having sex with Micha (the bat dude) and filmed the whole thing with a camera that Micha stole from the school the grossest part is both are obviously underaged and Micha is a full 3 years younger than Leo and I'm 90% sure wasn't even a teenager yet when it happened
Leo also wanted to film more stuff with Chase but never did
Echo: Route 65 is a great little prequel to the main game, Echo. It sets up part of the story nicely and offers a bit of secrets that 1) lure you into the main game and 2) provide a bit of insight into Echo's secrets itself. I'm definitely glad that I played it before Echo!
Hey i'm playing this for the first time and Jenna's sprite is her one from Echo? And all my saves from the original Echo also show up? The saves aren't a big deal but is that supposed to be her sprite?
Yeah that's the correct sprite. I'm pretty sure it was initially developed for Route 65 actually but was then also used as her sprite in the main game since her old sprite didn't match with the current art style.
wonderful story as always, i love all the little hints and reveals about the characters that we constantly are given. it really is such fantastic writing
Its nothing to worry about its just because its not a regular program. So your computer has no way of knowing what it is. But it does not have malware or anything. I already played the game it safe.

because otters are predators.
that's what i said
I mean, other animals eat Otters.

When will you pay the next update for this VN here on itch.io?
good, but i suggest remaking leo's sprite. unless he dyes his fur like chase, he isn't accurate to the main game. looks more like a fox...
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen really dosen't like this .exe
Doesn't even want me to make an exclusion.
Had to go to the .exe properties and unblock the file.
ah, seems like it most definitely is, after reading the wiki, based loosely off of Echo, UT lol

hmm idk. I was thinking this was in Arizona because the city of "Echo" is near Pueblo.

you can find that out in jenna's route!
thats my next route then! thank you
ok i finished all routes and I think im just a bit stupid would you be able to explain, were they like filming sex or something?
Yeah Leo was having sex with Micha (the bat dude) and filmed the whole thing with a camera that Micha stole from the school the grossest part is both are obviously underaged and Micha is a full 3 years younger than Leo and I'm 90% sure wasn't even a teenager yet when it happened

Leo is disgusting
ya because i think Micha was 14 at the time and Leo was 17

Yeah, thats the right sprite.
Its even mentioned in Echo that Jenna looks the same as she did when route 65 happened.
The mobile version keep randomly closing out
wonderful story as always, i love all the little hints and reveals about the characters that we constantly are given. it really is such fantastic writing
I'm playing this again after months and months.
Its so nostalgic and reminds me of my adventures with my friend group when I was a teen... Also its just a somber mood overall and yeah.
When I play this game, my antivirus is flogging it up as malware, and saying to delete it. What's this all about?
Its nothing to worry about its just because its not a regular program. So your computer has no way of knowing what it is. But it does not have malware or anything. I already played the game it safe.
I approve of getting ricketyrolled at the end. *chef's kiss
