Echoes of Home (reworked)
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android
Echoes of Home is an NSFW visual novel with elements of a click-point adventure and dating simulator that immerses you in a Japanese high school environment. Here, you'll have the opportunity to interact with various characters, build relationships with them, and make decisions that shape the course of the story.
What sets this game apart is that every decision you make influences how the story unfolds. Your choices will shape the destinies of the characters and determine the direction the game takes. The precise progression and plot twists of the game are entirely in your hands.
Echoes of Home is currently in an active development phase and is expected to undergo at least 2-3 more years of development. We aim to provide you with the best gaming experience possible, and therefore, we will continue to improve the game. If you'd like to track our progress, you can join our Discord community.
The current version of the game is always available for download on our Patreon. While you can find a preview of the game on Itch.io, the full demo is exclusively available on our Patreon, where you can support our project and gain access to exclusive content.
Our story revolves around Asahi, a young student who tragically loses his mother and father in a car accident and must move back to his hometown from bustling Tokyo. There, he finds solace in Kanae, the dear friend of his late mother. Kanae's warm embrace is not the only surprise waiting for him; her spirited daughter Kotone adds an adorable touch with her tsundere personality. But that's just the beginning. The narrative introduces a cast of intriguing characters, from Fuka, a passionate gamer who prioritizes her virtual world over school, to Hiroshi, a childhood friend who becomes Asahi's pillar of support.
You will choose your school club, your job, and embark on a new life. Besides the classic storyline, there are also elements of fantasy here. Asahi has the ability to enter people's dreams, creating intriguing interactions.
Your goal is to integrate into the new school as best as you can, build new relationships, and get to know all the characters. The path you take is entirely up to you.
It's no problem to find a girlfriend or even create a harem. The story doesn't pull you in just one direction. In the future, you will also have the choice of whether to play the game as a complete angel or torment everyone around you.
- Pick up school club and job
- Interactive world map
- Day and night cycle
- Store for customizable character skins and items
- Task tracking system
- Point-and-click adventure elements
- Ability to alter character appearances
- Option to rename the main character
- And much more, including hidden jokes and references (Easter eggs)
- NSFW scenes
Our team is dedicated to ongoing development and enhancement of the game. We share our plans and milestones on the Patreon platform. We envision:
- Including up to 25 main characters in the game
- Creating up to 50 supporting characters
- Preparing over 50 distinct locations to explore
- Expanding the main storyline with new elements and possibilities
- Introducing new variations of character skins
This is just a glimpse into the world we're crafting for you. If you're a fan of visual novels seeking something fresh and enriching, Echoes of Home is the perfect fit. Brace yourself for an unforgettable interactive experience, where your decisions shape the story and the fates of the characters.
The development of Echoes of Home depends on community support. Plans for updates and adding new content will depend on the number of patrons. Financing the entire game by a single person is unrealistic, and we need financial resources for artists and programmers. Therefore, we've established support milestones:
- 250 patrons: Regular monthly updates with occasional major updates every 3 months.
- 500 patrons: New illustrations (CGs) added every month.
- 750 patrons: The ability to create more additional content and release it every month.
- 1000 patrons: At least one new animation every month.

Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
is this a full game or just a prototype (concept)?
Hi, just concept. Tmr we will release new prototype version
First link is broken. Also, might be a good idea to have a more updated preview version of the game than just 1.0. Not curious enough to pay on patreon or try out a super old version of the game.
Try it now, we released new demo version.
Demo still doesn't work - just leads to black screen with music playing. Definitely not inspiring hope for the Patreon version....
This still being updated on itch?
Yes! Today we added new version.
Will there be impreg?
Probably yes, but not now.
Ok, unrelated to this game but still a game of your studio: what happened to "My Runaway Girl"?
It's gone/no longer available for some reason, yet it was such a great game...
Yeah, looks like developer decided to go back on his word and just completely abbandoned "MRG". After all his promises that game development will be continued... thats just pathetic.
Hi,
following an agreement with Shifi, the MRG itch.io page will be moved under his account. Shifi mentioned that a new version of MRG will be available on itch.io and his personal Patreon either today or tomorrow.
-YS
Could you provide a link to such itchio/patreon account then, please?
My searches avail no results
Might be quite late on the reply, but I finally found something, a patreon page from Shifi, indeed with "MRG" game currently under prototype D... Released back on 14, September 2023
I've heard you're going to make the game in Godot engine, why moved from a good engine to a shitty one?
Hi!
We have an article about godot on Patreon, but more than that, the point is that Godot runs more stable and we can better build different features.
Animations?
Hi!
first animated version will be soon, around 14 days.

Mac version crashes on open.
