Hi all, I hope everyone's doing well! This is Howly's boyfriend, he asked me to make a post on his behalf. You might remember him mentioning that he had issues with his prescription last month, which affected him mentally, and still does every now and then. He just needs a moment to gather himself, and reach a comfortable point of working stability. Howly's also been reconsidering the story's progression after reviewing what's been written so far, and he needs time to revise that as well. He ...

(Due to a sudden change in scheduling at work, my day off is coming a day later than I expected, though the next build of Khemia will still be released over the weekend. In the meantime, Scipio has some thoughts)
This is an odd feeling, writing to no one, for no reason. Now that I'm unable to communicate with Mother, I have no one else to write to. Instead, Neferu suggested that I keep a journal, to record anything o...

They can't touch you, they can't hurt you... at least not in the physical way. Mentally it's a different story, which makes sense because all of this is mental. I was messed up waaaay before the thing that I saw in my trailer, which might explain why I saw it. But it was me continuing to s...

Hello folks. This is George Squares. Our team has been working really hard on writing this update and we thank you for your patience.

Howdy folks, McSkinny here with a Jenna update. This time, the gang gets a little tied up, so Micha hangs out with them for a bit. The update for this month is longer than usual on account of the missed September update. A tremendous amount of work was put in by a wide variety of artists for this one, including Kardamon, Stranj, Stardustpup, and Abyuse. Visual novels may be one of the bes...

The first time I saw something "serious" was the day I turned eight. My mom had bought me this old handheld and a few games to go with it, and even though it was a generation out-of-date and all of my friends had the newer version, I was still happy to have it. It was cool to just own something.
I was alone; Mom let me stay home from school that day as part of my birthda...

Hey guys!
Sorry about the last-second update on the Khemia build. Just wanted to let you guys in on what's been going on the past few weeks and where we're headed. First of all, thanks so much for the well-wishes, it meant a lot to read through them. Long story short, it looks like the medical issue I had is sorted and the news was good! It's a huge weight off my chest and has allowed me to focus on writing Khemia the past several days.
Hello everyone. GeorgeSquares here. This is a large update, and it took a lot out of me emotionally to write, but I think it was worth it. I also have to say that this means it comes with a content warning. There are themes of domestic abuse and mentions of suicidal thoughts, so please proceed with caution and awareness. There is also a very horny otter, which al...

In which you learn that pain might never fade completely.
First build is out! Let us know what you think. While it is a separate and different visual novel compared to Adastra (though of course it continues the same story), we hope you still enjoy it as much as the first!
2020-09-14 23:50:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, sorry about the delay. Because of health-related reasons, I was a bit late in trying to figure out the schedule this month. Nothing serious at the moment; I'm just in a situation that makes it slightly hard to predict what I'll be able to accomplish this month in particular, so I may not be able to get an update out. I'm still scheduling it, and I'll be sure to let you know if anything changes!
Echo missed its update last month, but McSkinny says he has a large amount of conte...

After earning his engineering degree from Pueblo three years ago, Dev ended up landing a high-paying job several states over. He moved there with his boyfriend, Cameron, where they've been living a fairly comfortable life. Still, he misses those college days; his old friends, old parties, and even the classes, but what he actually misses the most was having the free...

So enough teasing! Here's the next Echo Project VN that will be coming out sometime early next year. Currently, the project is called "Arches", and it will be set, once again, in the town of Echo. Though it could be considered a sequel, the story is standalone. Here's a short little synopsis:
March 2020
Devon the bear, and Cameron the coyote are boyfriends on a paranormal investigation trip to Echo. It's mostly just a fun hobby, b...

Hello! George here. This month is a nikolai route update with about seven thousand words. I had to draw out the echo mines to wrap my head around them, and even made a drawing of them to better wrap my head around the spaces. I hope it was worth it!

Howdy everyone, McSkinny here with a Jenna update. Welcome to update # 50. It's astonishing this has been going on this long. I'd like to thank Toxixot for contributing an amazing piece of animation work for this update, which I won't spoil, and Shtar for the art above. Stay tuned, because there's a big ol' announcement planned for the end of August.
