“So Amicus is a gay, alien, wolf guy and he kidnaps you to be his pet and show up his brother who also has a cool pet, but humans forgot that aliens exist so Amicus basically broke the Prime Directive for which the punishment is death, and they also don’t have gas anymore to take you home so you have to pretend to be a dumbass while also helping Amicus become emperor so he can get gas from the Gods and send you home, but then you fall in love and don’t want to go home but the Gods say you have to go back to Earth for 8 years to do some missionary work so Earth can join the Galaxias…”
The OP immediately made me think about Echo since I just played all the routes on your sorta-recommendation and I haven’t stopped thinking about it ever since. I’m in the process of attempting to force my non-gay non-furry friends to play it so we can all live in the new upside-down world that it’s created for me. I haven’t done Arches yet, planning on it soon.
I just described Adastra, which was made by the same team :D
Definitely give Arches a try, too. It was really good. Actually haven’t been disappointed by any of Project Echo’s stuff, except for hitting the “to be continued” screen on all the unfinished ones.
I’m planning on at least doing Arches. I don’t know if The Smoke Room will ever be finished but I’m down to try that at some point also. I’m still on the fence about Adastra; I’ll probably get around to it at some point but it looks so different to what I really liked about Echo so I don’t know if it will really grab me the same way. I’m not a furry but I did grow up gay in Hicktown, USA, so Echo’s story sort of knew right where to hit me to cause maximum emotional damage.
I know that from the last update of Arches that they are going to be focusing entirely on finishing TSR before moving back to Khemia. And I also can no longer recommend what was there for Khemia because Howly explicitly said he was re-writing the entire intro which is basically all it is right now anyway.
I’m excited. I just got to the end of what’s in TSR last night.
That’s great to hear. All I vaguely know is that the writer for TSR got kicked from the project a month ago so I wasn’t sure if TSR was going to just remain unfinished or not.
