Echoes: A Lucid9 Fangame

Author's Note: Despite my best efforts, this game may not get finished in time for, well...ever. I apologize if the lack of an ending is disconcerting, but if it helps at all, the main character and her allies win and survive in the most legitimate ending, and though at great cost, all of the game's antagonists are defeated. Things will work out in the end, and I plan to tell you about them if I ever get there.

Safety Note: Version 1.1.10 Pre-Alpha EX2 of the game includes an updated disclaimer and some safety information for streamers and Let's Play channels recording footage of the game. If you're planning to stream or do an LP for EL9FG, please make sure that you're playing the latest version of the game.

For both symbolic and technical reasons, this game will not be listed as discontinued. The story may be unrealized, but it doesn't end here. I hope I have the energy to return to tell it one day.

Inspired by Lucid9 by Fallen Snow Studios, this fanwork explores the perspective of an unlikely survivor in an even more unlikely future. While she reunites with old acquaintances and uncovers the truth about her harrowing past, your decisions will shape the alliances of Rui Hayata and the Way Forward Corporation. 

Whether you choose salvation or destruction, the future of the world-power of Isamu lies within your grasp. Be warned, however, as many will choose to move against you...
