This visual novel gave me "unfriended" vibes. Bunch of friends that are friendly but when the crap hits the proverbial fan the skeletons start pouring out of their closets.

@BuiBwee Man, it was quite something to witness at 11pm XD But seeing this video makes me wanna give it another go, even if a little spoiled (and simping for the fennec gal, I wani hug her badly)
Snoot and Wani got me into visual novels. Since then, I've been using this channel to find new ones. I also make sure to play them so that I can watch Bui spoiler free. I love his commentary and little edits
Saying this will destroy you emotionally is...an understatement. Holy God. This one has major Silent Hill vibes. That;s all someone needed to tell me to get me to try it. I love Jenna. So much. Also TJ. He reminds me of younger me
I wonder if Bui is going to approach it "now-ish" or wait until Pristine Cut gets here. Both options will be undoubtebly satisfying to watch but there will be no do-over for first time with this marvelous VN. :]
If you would like a recommendation, Angels with Scaly Wings. My first visual novel. It emotionally destroyed me. It might take a while to complete though as the true ending unlocks once you got all good and bad endings off each of the main characters. If you're interested, there's a prequel comic and a sequel got announced.
+1, that game is absolutely fucking MISERABLE in a good way lol. Made me feel shitty for several days. I played it as a joke because I thought it would be a stupid furry dating sim and it was NOT AT ALL what I expected.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Echo meant that much to me as well, it's a work of art. I truly appreciate you giving this a shot, Bui! Oh! Hilariously, my first route I went down when I played it for the first time was TJ's, so I had THAT reveal hanging over my whole playthrough. It's incredible how much the tone can change for the game depending on which route you choose first.
It piqued my interest and I never would have guessed how much it would stick with me, so thank you and whomever else for recommending it back then. :) I definitely feel as if I got lucky playing the game in the order that I did, like it was slowly building up in tension with each route. I can only imagine how other people felt going through it differently.
@@BuiBwee Since you enjoyed it, I think you may like Adastra as well. Howly, one of the lead writers of Echo, took a break from Echo after writing TJ's route because it bummed him out so much. Same HIGH level of quality for writing, but it's a mix of a pretty great Romance with a political thriller.
Don't even know anything about this game but since you're "The visual novel guy" now i'm going to do a blind playthrough of this game and go back to this video later
4:15 famous last words? Chase actually is bi. That is cannon. Yeah those mixed vibes about Leo ain't getting better from there. Holy shit. His bad ending?! Saving Jenna's route for last is a good move IMO. Her good ending is like...much needed relief after what this VN puts you through 11:10 Raven is such a happy boy. I just wanna pet his ears 19:21 yyyeeeeaaaahhhh the fandom calls him the red flag wolf for a reason YES TJ IS THE BEST INNOCENT BOY 23:35 As Count Dantkula would say, in the business we call this foreshadowing Kudzu is my favorite side character. Him and Daxton. I want to hang out with Daxton an d watch STar Trek all day. DAMN IT LEO I WANT YOU TO ESCAPE TOO. Chase and Kudzu make an adorable couple but Leo should escape too Yeah in TJ's route, Chase basicaly becomes all the worst things about Leo 34:38 HE'S NOT GAY CHASE YOU DENSE FUCK Flynn is kind of an asshole but he did not fucking deserve that yeah I could not stay in the smoke room either. I could not do it. Made me way too uncomfortable. There is no alternate ending for Flynn's route. Christ,. His ending hurts man 48:24 BUT THEY MAKE SUCHE A CUTE COUPLE! Jenna's happy ending is such nice decompression after what you go through in this. So I guess you did get Leo's bad ending at some point Sorry for the long comment. I love this VN though
Don’t worry about the long comment. I like reading ones like this, haha. And yeah, I did end up checking out the bad ending during the editing of this video. …yeah. 😬
@@BuiBwee yeah that ending is grim. I know this is personal to me and my dislike of things like blood, gore, hospitals and needles but it left me feeling like I might pass out
I'm so glad you ended up checking out Echo and enjoying it. I hold Echo dear to my heart and it stands as one of my favorite visual novels. With that said, I also hope you end up checking out Adastra. It's made by the same team as Echo and it has a pretty positive reputation.
So I finished all the routes last week and man I’ll admit I cried 6 times and I’m not one to normally cry 😅 This game was so beautiful and I’ve been enjoying watching other people play this masterpiece.
Echo was my first Visual Novel experience that got me hooked to the genre, and after seeing you go through Wani and Snoot, I absolutely *had* to see you play this game. Glad to see it had a profound impact on you as it did me! Keep cookin', brother!
FYI there should be some bonus content if you click on the lake in the main menu (music, CGs and some extra scenes IIRC, been a while since I played it).
I had a friend tell me about that when I was almost finished editing, but thank you anyway for the reminder! Will have to give those bonus scenes a look, I didn’t want to view them until I was done with everything else first.
I'm so glad you enjoyed Echo so much. It definitely is an experience. If you ever want more of this universe, I highly recommend Arches. It's a semi-sequel to Echo but deals with different characters. It's much shorter than Echo though, I'd say the length of two of Echo's routes combined. Same writer too. Regardless, loved watching this and feeling the rollercoaster of emotions this game leaves you with.
Hi love these videos, just to keep the algorithm happy and to diversify your content while also keeping in the vibe of this channel i recommend Alicesoft eroge (specifically the rance, evenicle, and dohna dohna), yes it’s that genre of game and yes it’s their written that well and yes you must 100% all of it to get the full experience
i like how whatever it is moves between people. it moves with trauma and death it seems. moved from sam to mr bronson to sydney to chase to flynn at least his route. so chase hasn't really been in control since a kid when he killed sydney. you can see this after he gets out of the room with spiders. he acts different and like someone else. so everything chase does in other routes is not really his fault but whatever is possessing him?
Slay the princess was really good, but the extended cut extra deluxe panini is coming out in november or something. At this point, it might be worth to wait for it.
i played TJ's and Carl's route but the moment I played Jenna's route I this was the ending I loved and decided to stop yeah I ain't getting horrified doing the remaining routes also Jenna Is definitely my favourite character when not possessed
I'm not sure if anyone commented on this but there are short stories if you click on the lake on the main menu. would like to see a add-on video about them.
at this point im just gonna stay subbed to play w/e your next video is on. we're 3 for 3 on IWHTG, Snoot, and Katawa and I have a feeling this one'll be next on the list.
Route order can vary but usually seems like carl or leo is the first and second ones. Tj next at least for me. Flynn and Jenna last. Leo carl, jenna has 2 endings and tj and flynn 1 ending. You got the good ending for carl. The "fight it" or "let it help you" changes the ending. You got the good ending leo route. Its over and work something out changes it. I think tj sent up the scavenger hunt to try and tell everyone what happened without really saying it Got good ending for jenna. This town breaks people getd bad ending and keeo each other sane good. Remember route 65 is part of this too. Arches takes place after echo and the smoke room is 100 years before echo 1915
Class of 09 is not something i look forward too considering what i have heard of it. Because it's not something that you leave with good emotions. I hate novels like that, it's not exactly Doki Doki levels but worse. Like that one anime visual novel back in the day. I read it's plot and it made me feel utter disgust for the developers.
I’d say give it shot, I certainly enjoyed it way more than I believed I was going to! Play up to the route selection and see if it sticks with you up to that point.
Most of the ones I’ve picked up so far, I’ve googled first and found their sites. They have download links on them. Are you asking about Echo in particular or just any VN?
Jumped into this game after seeing this upload. Went for Flynn route first since I thought It was important he not isolate himself. I certainly took more than what i was expecting. That had be beyond shocked 😂🥲. Not yet finished with the first but will be sure to try all the routes over time.
this man was never the same after Wani. He's got the Anthro Brainrot now
Happens to the best of us
"i'm thinking of playing Class of 09, and slay the princess"
he ded
This visual novel gave me "unfriended" vibes. Bunch of friends that are friendly but when the crap hits the proverbial fan the skeletons start pouring out of their closets.
What I expected: *Gay furry game with mundane drama*
What I get: *_Gay Furry Silent Hill_*
More likely *gay furry Omori and Higurashi*
pretty much.... pure chaos nontheless.
>Be me, scalie
>Around 2020 or 21
>Download Echo because it looks neat, and I have never played a horror Furry VN before
>Choose the Flynn route because lizard man
>Keep playing over a few nights
>Reach the ending
>Genuinely scared shitless, could not sleep that night
>Deletes Echo and doesn't give it another go
>Few years later
>Watches this video
>Realize that I've missed out on an amazing story and game
>Bruh moment
Oof, that’s rough. 😬
Can’t blame you, though, Flynn’s route and ending is a trip, and choosing that one first must have been crazy to sit through.
@BuiBwee Man, it was quite something to witness at 11pm XD
But seeing this video makes me wanna give it another go, even if a little spoiled (and simping for the fennec gal, I wani hug her badly)
Snoot and Wani got me into visual novels. Since then, I've been using this channel to find new ones. I also make sure to play them so that I can watch Bui spoiler free. I love his commentary and little edits
Soon as I look away from the channel: No changes.
Minutes later: This appears.
Saying this will destroy you emotionally is...an understatement. Holy God. This one has major Silent Hill vibes. That;s all someone needed to tell me to get me to try it.
I love Jenna. So much. Also TJ. He reminds me of younger me
Slay the Princess is gonna be an awesome episode to watch even if I already know most of what happens, that's just how enjoyable your content is.
I so agree with your comment, i would love to see him play Slay The Princess and his reaction and opinion on the game
Slay the Princess is something else man. I wanna see him play that.
I saw how he reacted to the endings of wani and Snoot, Slay the princess is like a whole other ball park of emotions
I wonder if Bui is going to approach it "now-ish" or wait until Pristine Cut gets here. Both options will be undoubtebly satisfying to watch but there will be no do-over for first time with this marvelous VN. :]

So am but we here, but if you want a hug after I get you
Usually horror games don't make my eyes tear up but that one is going on the list.

DAMN IT LEO I WANT YOU TO ESCAPE TOO. Chase and Kudzu make an adorable couple but Leo should escape too
Yeah in TJ's route, Chase basicaly becomes all the worst things about Leo
34:38 HE'S NOT GAY CHASE YOU DENSE FUCK
Flynn is kind of an asshole but he did not fucking deserve that
yeah I could not stay in the smoke room either. I could not do it. Made me way too uncomfortable.
There is no alternate ending for Flynn's route. Christ,. His ending hurts man

Seeing a video with echo in its thumbnail is a rush, but seeing your name under it was like doing heroine
So I finished all the routes last week and man I’ll admit I cried 6 times and I’m not one to normally cry 😅

I LOVE how quickly he caught on that Flynn was the most flamboyant of the group.

Yeah there is also the short stories too if you click on window pan to the right and scroll down.
My man fully embraced the VNs in his heart
You're always going in circles.
YES

ahhhhhhhh! I need Everlasting Summer brah! I shall perish otherwise.
Doing incredible as always Bui! keep it up
I'm here eating and not really paying attention then I hear "I hope you're grateful TJ" my nickname is TJ so I was a bit confused
I'll die of happiness if you play Arches, doesn't matter how long it takes just as long as it happens someday
Damn my wallet better be ready for me to buy another visual novel game
Echo is free as are Arches (a sequel) and Route 65 (a prequel)
@@FsMetal-gk4iw thank you for telling me this but just know any tragic shit that happens in game and it fucks up my mental state, im blaming on YOU 😭
@@kiro1547 you leave me out of the mental scarring of those vns
For the record, snoot game is free too. Wani is not
@@FsMetal-gk4iw ik lol i played both fully
Hi love these videos, just to keep the algorithm happy and to diversify your content while also keeping in the vibe of this channel i recommend Alicesoft eroge (specifically the rance, evenicle, and dohna dohna), yes it’s that genre of game and yes it’s their written that well and yes you must 100% all of it to get the full experience
Why do yall keep making this man play the most gut wrenching games 😭😭😭😭
I saw your latest upload man, im not ready for that yet
GVH, Snoot, Wani, Echo now. Coincidence? I think not. Bro indeed turning into visual novel channel, and I like it
i like how whatever it is moves between people. it moves with trauma and death it seems. moved from sam to mr bronson to sydney to chase to flynn at least his route. so chase hasn't really been in control since a kid when he killed sydney. you can see this after he gets out of the room with spiders. he acts different and like someone else. so everything chase does in other routes is not really his fault but whatever is possessing him?
Welp, i learned Leo's bad ending, wtf
Real good taste in protecting smiles there Bui. Keep it up.
Well this man's is now officially an VN channel?! God iv been enjoying this content so much keep up the great work
Slay the princess was really good, but the extended cut extra deluxe panini is coming out in november or something. At this point, it might be worth to wait for it.
Raptor Jesus....
Well boys we are in the end game now

Oh I’m so excited for this
Can't watch this right now but I damn well am going to at my earliest opportunity
This fucking game man... Seen like 5 people play through. Hurts everytime. Love these characters. Fuck Chase though
i played TJ's and Carl's route but the moment I played Jenna's route I this was the ending I loved and decided to stop yeah I ain't getting horrified doing the remaining routes also Jenna Is definitely my favourite character when not possessed
I'm not sure if anyone commented on this but there are short stories if you click on the lake on the main menu. would like to see a add-on video about them.
What comes after “the large gia harrumphs” 40:32
Just wait till he hits Ad Astra

Remember route 65 is part of this too. Arches takes place after echo and the smoke room is 100 years before echo 1915
Echo the horror side remains me of "tiny bunny" a horror visual novel game, and i don't know why.
Here we go another visuel novel game...❤👍
Are you interested in reading fan fics? If so, I highly recommend Inco Noted.
Oh if you think this is bad, wait til you get to Adastra
Betcha Ad Adstra up next
Yo, a new upload. Nice.
Hello all to whomever reads this
bro you gotta play arches now
I WANI forever changed bro
Yooo I really hope you play Slay the Princess, if you wait till fall you'll get to experience the pristine cut but even know it's a BANGER of a game.
dude, if you liked this you HAVE to play arches! it's like so much better in art and music
Class of 09 is not something i look forward too considering what i have heard of it. Because it's not something that you leave with good emotions.

Soooo.. Adastra next?
So you can join and cry with us.
Maybe not "next", but I'll definitely look into playing it in the future, that's for sure.
Should I play this as well?
I’d say give it shot, I certainly enjoyed it way more than I believed I was going to!
Play up to the route selection and see if it sticks with you up to that point.
It's always the furries.
