About Echoes
Fears are not always just rustles in the dark. And death is not always a bad ending. Sometimes the acuteness of social phenomena and the bitter taste of life opens up a glance at the other side of being. It is to this topic that the ECHO short story is devoted. The theme of what remains of a person after his death. Sometimes, these are great deeds and high-profile deeds. And sometimes, it's just the memory of other people. And one more thing. The visual novel "ECHO" is a game in which you decide for yourself what to do with the oppressive silence of difficult memories. Emotional swamps of burnt rural lives. Forgotten houses, abandoned villages. And a fluttering light of hope that everything will be fine. Enter an abandoned house with echoes of other people's lives. And get out of it if you can.
The visual novel "ECHO" was created by the project "Baba Nyura", which collects folk mythical folklore. It was Baba Nyura who created such short stories as "Whispers" and "The Sin". Many of Baba Nyura's projects were created solely on the basis of materials collected in the field. ECHO was no exception. In addition to sharp social plots and a sea of suspicious sounds in the new game, perhaps the most important topic of folk mythical folklore is revealed in detail. The theme of the cult of the dead, which we are used to seeing in everyday things in front of us. The ability to make choices that affect the plot will allow players to see the ending that will be closest to them. And the most meticulous and attentive readers will even be able to find a lot of valuable information on which several generations of local historians have worked. Dedicated to all lovers of swamps, deep forests and forgotten villages.

I know the devs are obviously not native speakers so I don't expect that level of English but the amount of typos and just nonsensical/disjointed text in such a short game is honestly embarrassing. Why even offer the additional language option if you don't even bother enough to literally check the bare minimum for [i]nonsense and missing/extra text[/i]? There's so many good games from indie/small publishers that it's really not an excuse to give this game a thumbs up. Apart from that, I liked the art and atmosphere, the story did suck me in but it ended kind of abruptly. I wish it was longer or had some kind of epilogue/better conclusion.5 found this helpful
The first story from the Baba Nura studio The Sin was interesting. This second one just ended at the moment when the reader felt that it was starting. The events that began to unfold during the storm in the abandoned house looked interesting, but suddenly it was over. Without explanation. So sudden that I felt like the game had crashed. A shame. This was too little.4 found this helpful
[h1] Don't forget the dead [/h1] I have been familiar with the "Baba Nyura" project for quite some time, thanks to the russian social network Vkontakte. The ideological inspirers of this community carefully find and preserve information about Russian folklore, ancient life and omens. I, as a person who is very close to these topics, was very interested in playing the visual novel "Echoes". The game fully justified my expectations. Just for an hour of game time we plunge into a very personal, sad and in some places creepy story, which will definitely make you dive into your innermost thoughts for a while. I would like to mention the wonderful sound accompaniment, as well as very atmospheric drawing of the game background. I recommend you to complete this game. If you put aside inflated expectations, excessive skepticism and for a moment imagine that you have to learn someone's personal story, you will definitely be satisfied!3 found this helpful
can't really recommend this unfortunately. a looooooot of grammatical errors. the story is interesting enough but gets cut short just as it's picking up steam. the art is passable in its uncanniness but sometimes it gets really rough. a shame
Хорошая новелла. Жаль что очень короткая.
