Echoed Memories

The second game in the “Gaia’s Melody” series. Echoed Memories deals with heavily emotional themes and topics (including trauma, anxiety, love, trust, despair, fear, and the value of life). It holds a balance of bright and cheerful to fearful and depressing, and follows the protagonists as they come to terms with themselves while uncovering the story. Echoed Memories is a dark psychological love story, with development, understanding and acceptance at its core. Follows a group of 13; while working through the plot, they learn to deal with one another. Each character has their own intertwined segments exploring their past traumas, personal failures and shortcomings. The game contains many anime-styled cutscenes, used to emphasize smaller details and actions of the scene. These are voice-acted, with subtitles available. In-game cutscenes utilize face graphics, anime art, and expressive character sprites. Features such as BreakTimes, INS and Tents allow you to connect further with the characters by viewing extra scenes and dialogue. Voice-acted cutscenes are also included at various points.
