Arches Build 1: Meaning in Patterns

i feel so sad，and heart break

Jay Wood

Let me know if you need an editor. This is at the beginning. "His attempts to scream for help were mattered even less... "

Play Jenna's route, her happy endings is one of The bests

Will this VN by any chance have any possibility of a remotely happy ending? I don't want to sound rude, its just that I went into Echo unprepared and it genuinely shook me when I played TJ's route

Randomgamer24

You know already the answer XD

M.W

Oh god, my heart cant take another Chase x Leo situation.

Rizz

traumatized and loving it

I concur with all of the above stated, wow... I have a lot of questions for you as an author/team, I hope someday to find out more about your inspirations and guidance in writing these VN.

Hell of a ride for a first build. Love the art and especially how much of it there is! Unclear what route from Echo this is taking yet, REALLY hoping it ain't Flynn's cause holy fuck he didn't deserve that.

Okay, it just a first build but it got me hooked so fast. THIS GAME GONNA BE AMAZING!!

Unini

Well if I thought this was going to start out as lighthearted as Echo...I was an idiot and a fool...thanks for giving me the frights on just the first build LoL poor bear. My poor bear...I'm begging you not to make this into another Chase x Leo situation...I can only take so much heartbreak

Now that is one hell of an intro update! Even more than Echo I anticipate...and dread the future story. I do get the feeling that Arches is going to be far more unnerving and horrifying that Echo to be sure.

Why do people ever know that this is a horrible place?

jovuan Jackson

Wow. That was certainly an introduction. Did not expect it to start like that, holy shit that's good. Genuinely felt uncomfortable and a little scared. Excited for what this VN is going to offer next.

I feel like the most positive point of a third person visual novel is that it gets to the point faster. When novels are first person sometimes they go into too much detail on the tiny stuff.

Pat Giver

Just ended the first built and all I can say is than you're fucking creeps to write a so intense and so good story. You made me freak the hell out and the last time it happened was seeing Michael's Jackson's Trhiller when I was 4 or so... Congrats guys but don't you dare to break things between Dev and Cameron 'cause I have Flynn"s number and I will NOT hesitate to call him ! ;)

Yannick

VERY interesting with this introduction. I am loving these two characters and this will unlock a lot of secrets with what they have to offer.

SinnamonSpikes

So uh...wow. That’s how you start a VN. Immediately already tense. I’m already loving it so far. I really like Devon and Cameron, they seem to have a really sweet relationship. As for the new POV perspective, I like it. I found it pretty easy to follow along. Really love the new artwork and music. I’m glad that I didn’t wear my headphones, cause a couple certain sound effects would have scared the shit out of me. Also, I’m sure everyone is noticing but there’s a bug that’s showing my Interea save files. But I’m sure that’ll be fixed easily. Other than that, I’m really excited to see where the VN goes from here.

Lazarus

Whew that's a strong start. Heavy, but good. I'm not even sure what you might cut out from that. In any case, great work to everyone as usual! I really like the new POV approach for this so far. I'm already fond of both characters and it's nice getting clear insight into the thoughts and feelings of each of them.

Finished playing Echo, Benefits and Route 65 yesterday after not putting them down for 5 days straight and started The Smoke Room today. Just knew when i got to the end of the public build for William that i had to become a patron as i couldn't wait to get more story and try Interea and of course Arches too. I am definitely not disappointed. Even just in this first Arches build i'm already super intrigued as to how this VN will pan out, have already been pleasantly spooked by the writing and want to give Cameron a big cuddle!

Callist3r

A strong start to this VN! (I can't wait to see more!) Just to note My 2 Interea saves appear in the load section (I'm playing on a windows pc with all VN's saved to one folder, so probably not really an issue.)

BareBones

Reminds me of my own several experiences with ghosts. Very unpleasant but not this scary.

This is gonna be a masterpece. gave me the chills !!!!

Asteros

I notice that when saving and hopefully it gets fixed in a future update.

My savegames from interea somehow are shown in here. =\

Thanks for the explanation and thanks for avoiding spoilers.

David G

This already already has a great start, looking forward to the updates and how much further the story will go.

Pyre

I think that was just a flashback >.< but yeah it would be screwed up if he did survive the events of the previous novel. (I think I know what is going on but I do not wish to spoil it.)

Noooooooo, he is alive. Great update Echo Project Team. Loved the art, the story and music. But I got a little inconvenient. When I save I can see the Interea (Adastra spin-off) saves too. I think it is a little bug.

David G

this first build was really good! I love the amount of polish this has too!

Androidddd

Nikos Nikos

Oh wow the intro got heavy quick. Nice!

Emilio Hyena

This is terrifying. I love it

brotherofsquid

This intro is just... wow, Nice job.
