Requiem's Echo
♡ ABOUT ♡
In a town abandoned by hope and plagued by nightmarish creatures, you are the last line of defense — a lone hunter with nothing left to lose. But when Leon, a government agent with a dangerous charm, arrives to investigate, everything you’ve built threatens to come crashing down.
With every exchange, every heated argument, the space between you shrinks, charged with something you can’t name. As you prepare for one final hunt, desire and survival become tangled, the stakes rising as the creatures draw closer — and so do you. With every sunset, the stakes rise. And when dawn finally comes, it will be either salvation, or the end of everything.

If you pay the $8, you can
I don't know if it's a problem with this creator or itch.io but the option to pay with credit card isn't working. I would really like to purchase this, but paypal is a big no from me.
It's not working for me either. I'm wondering what the issue is
Saquen lo para Android 👄❤️
may your pillow always be fresh and your fridge always full. this has been simply delicious 🙏
{"errors":["price: expected valid text"]} Kein Download Vorhandenso idk if it's just me but itch wasn't letting me purchase with my card, i had to purchase with paypal... which worked, but i hate using paypal
Loved it 10/10!! I died too many times bc I'm dumb lol. I'll surely play the rest of the hot husbandos games you brewed, they are really dope :)
warning, it's a cishet game; MC's pronouns are she/herBefore buying the game, be aware the MC is a girl and your pronouns are fixed as she/her.
Edited because ↓↓↓ the wording was a trigger clearly.
edit edit: being mentally unstable isn't a disability. coming at and even insulting random ppl over own presumptions is not okay. this comment was made almost exclusively for people who also thought the MC is gender-neutral but who don't feel comfortable playing as she/hers. if this is a problem for you, you're the problem sorry
"Warning?" Seriously? Oh noooo, how horrible.... a female protagonist! You people are so awful, I swear.
okay bro...? my info is meant to be useful for folks who aren't women. sorry if that hurt your feelings 🤷♂️
there's def something interesting to the fact that you never see this in reverse... yet almost every game by/for women, men are in the comments acting like they need to leave a trigger warning that you're forced to play as a girl. lolllll
Lmao?? I see hate on queer games everywhere. I don't know why people love to pretend it's not there. Hate on queer ANYTHING has been around for centuries. Get over yourself.
You don’t have a monopoly on being queer, dude. I’m a queer woman. I’m criticizing men thinking everything is about them, which you’re doing again. Smh
I'm not a man. Idiot. I hate women like you who assume everybody who doesn't agree with you is a man. Get over yourself, like I said last time. Some people have fucking trauma. Educate yourself before you use the internet.
ya ever think theres trans men here NOT trying to play as women but looking for games with male love interests or what...cause it sometimes gets icky playing as a woman as a trans person myself, id know..
> me as a nonbinary person who gets dysphoric being referred to as she/her in media, watching a guy warning people that there's no pronoun choice get called misogynistic. 😶
the author has all the red flags istg 🙏😭
THIS. EXACTLY THIS. already mentioned that in my other response just now but that was precisely my case!
i'm a trans guy, so yeah, being called a girl IS a trigger for me. i get that enough irl, by none other than my family. plenty of others with the exact same situation, often much worse. hence the TW.
wish i had gotten a notification sooner so i couldve addressed this crap of a response earlier
If any of you had proper reading comprehension, this would never have descended into an argument. Go ahead and read the upcoming paragraph if you’re really so very wounded and want to understand.
No one is trying to invalidate your feelings. The initial comment that I made was simply pointing out that for lots of reasons, people have an oddly charged response to having to play as a woman. This is not specific to trans men and fucking Leon Kennedy dating sims. Look all across the landscape of gaming- people historically react extremely negatively to being forced to play as a woman, in part because many people straight up believe that women don’t belong in games. I said my truth, which is that NEVER have I seen “warning- you have to play as a stinky boy in this game!!1!”So I called that out here, and clearly people agree. I see in this situation an extremely small game dev who is likely a woman herself and likely has a full time job be bombarded with people complaining that she didn’t increase her work load by also catering to men, TRAUMATIZED TRANS MEN OR NOT, it’s annoying. People don’t owe you being catered to in their small passion project. And then the bozo with the Hikaru pfp was 10000% actually being anti-woman as fuck, didn’t take long for that to come out because that’s usually an element to this conversation regardless of what you all claim. I said what the fuck I said and I’m right, lmfao. This conversation has actually become this annoying that I’m willing to write this essay that none of you are likely to read
editing to add: you are all completely responsible for your own triggers, and trauma dumping to strangers on the internet is cringe under any circumstances, sorry
read all that and chose to answer because i like to suffer, i guess. i see the point you're trying to make (clarification: with women's representation in games and the general public's reception), but i believe it had nothing to do with the original comment who started the argument OR commenter (i.e. me, hi).
The argument doesnt likely stem from a lack of reading comprehension, but rather, drawing connections where there are none.
" I said my truth, which is that NEVER have I seen “warning- you have to play as a stinky boy in this game!!1!”So I called that out here, and clearly people agree."
That's because you painted a picture of me being another misogynistc man who cannot stand a game having a female protagonist in a place that is, logically, most likely to consist of predominantly women. The narration stuck. The comment had plenty of time to fester since I never got a notification that it existed in the first place, therefore I could not immediately address it.
The fact is, my negative feelings are tied to a lack of transparency on the author's side, not to there being female protagonist (also, where the hell did i even say "warning, you have to play as a stinky girl"??). I did made assumptions of my own (for example, that the author mightve disregarded queer people, their struggles, etc.), but i did my best not to let that seep into the original comment as it was NEVER meant for the author themself. It was a short information created with other queer people in mind so that they CAN actually look out for themselves and their traumas before diving into the game.
Idk girl, the vibes tell me you're on the misandrist side, but what do i know. i couldn't come up with any other explanation for what i got bombarded with and some of the stuff you said
Wrote this on my phone at 5 AM and off my adhd meds, but i tried to make this reply orderly. havent read what this hikaru said or how your talk went with them either, felt lazy. English isn't my native language, but hopefully my point(s) came through this time
you being trans does not matter. this is an otome game, which means it has to have a female mc. try to read tags properly next time, or rather go and play actual yaoi games if you want yaoi. alright? yaoi games are in a desperate need of support anyway, so theres really no reason to try and rewrite a genre that was never for you
not trying to rewrite the genre, never did (though i didnt know otome was supposed to be female-mc-only since
somemany games use it regardless). i genuinely had no clue this game was made for women and left a cw for other people who may find themselves in the same situation, hence my original comment. thats about itTHAAAAANK YOU, GOD DAMN, these people are making me fucking crazy
Holy shit, aggressive much? Nowhere on the page does it say it is an otome game. The only way you would know that is if you search the otome tag. It is marketed as a 'dating sim', which often have multiple pronouns to choose from.
edit: Yes, it does show the otome and female protagonist tag in the 'more information' portion of the page. However, a lot of people don't see that. He just gave a general warning for the people who didn't see that.
Thanks, I almost bought it thinking you can pick pronouns </3
Peak game. a fan-made Leon content AND monster-hunting romance?? Inject this directly into my veins :3
i got jumpscared by the preview, thats what happens when you go on in a game without reading the tag
need him bad bro
absolute cinema 10/10
though i wish i could be a boy in the game
this game is so peak
Prolly unrelated but I saw that u made a sylus one as well. So if I may, may I request a cloud strife dating sim, specifically for advent children cloud, with angst comfort and fluff? Asking for a friend....(that friend is me)
Um...I'm getting a "Error NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission."
Does this not work on safari? Safari works for other games...
guys im back playing this because i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the ending where we freaking survive.
I make sure to not follow Leon's lead and I do the firestation last. In the forest before the final battle in the lab I get the dialogue where they discuss plans for the lab. Yet when it comes to the lab I still get the ending where we both die?!
I gotchu girl, dev gave us this Requiem's Echo walkthrough (Good ending) so you can choose it correctly and lead you to good ending

No need to follow order which place you should go first, you can choose any places you want!
Tysm girl! actually saved me from going insane lol
Story is so VERY good (much deeper than what I expected!); the variations for the visit order of locations are very impressive!!
So sad when it ended, really would love an Epilogue after the Good End - feels kinda like stories that typically just end at wedding; I really need an 'After End', QAQ
Only complaint: UI options are cancerly old-schooled. There's no the usual "manual save" option, but it got "auto-save", so I guess I can bear it. The most unacceptable is the goddamn "FAST" button! At first, I thought it's option for "instant message play", but then realized it's "Skip", which is great, BUT I can never understand what is the purpose of "Skip" function that skip UNSEEN?!! It also doesn't automatically stop "After-Choice"!!! This is really very irritating for games with high replay-ability. Imagine if this game is like other long games, it will really de-motivate me to replay, since I'm not thrilled to re-read the same thing again and again, o(╯□╰)o
yo why have i spent the last 2 hours playing this game? was meant to be a quick 20 min time waster in between studying oops
Writing was good and the worldbuilding was pretty good to considering the limited scope for it.
Hello! I am a professional translator looking to grow my portfolio and I was wondering if you'd be interested in translating the game into Spanish (LatAm). Feel free to contact me any time!
¡hola, Definitivamente me interesa!
Hi! Are you one of the devs of the game?
As a Leon cosplayer, I recommend it!
https://www.youtube.com/live/c8AMpsn2ydY
It's a really good game, but the ship part made me think I was gonna get to replay the game with new elements or different settings. Would love to see that if y'all ever do a sequel or add to it.
I already playthrough for get all smut scene like many times now???

But it's worth it uwu
Got good ending also Yippeee
i wish i could be a guy that would be kewl
FR :<
Just dived into the comments to see if I could be a guy :(
nah not really
game of the millennium
The amount of work put into this masterpiece...the art, the writing, the music. CHEF's KISS love the multiple endings, including the happy ones lol
Oigan no lo he jugado pero me puedo quedar con ethan??????? NECESITO QUE ME DIGAN QUE SI
esta en español?
no
Nop
NOOO :c
How do you access the full blessing ? Like there is only the preview in the game ? (THE GAME IS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER BTW)
hiii if you haven’t figured it out already you need to klick „download now“ and then you have to pay at least 8$ to get the full blessing version!! Your welcome ^^
pregunta, se puede traducir al español???
So pissed they got rid of him in the new games, like who tf is Ethan? Get this fucker out of here, bring me back to Leon "Bingo Night" Kennedy. Also is it just coincidence that his name is Kennedy or is this man a part of the prestigious Kennedy legacy, i.e. getting shot in the head, leaving your friend to drown in a car you crashed, crashing a plane , and brain worms.
LEVAE MY BOY ETHAN OUT OF THISSSSS also they DIDNT GET RID OF HIM you FAKE FAN i wish i coild dislike a comment
Apparently you can dislike a comment, Idk how but I've gotten into the negative before, probably for takes like this, but I'm keeping it real, cause Ethan looks like he'd pull out the acoustic guitar at the campfire.
SO GOOD
i would love this concept expanded to other re characters, esp male protags! :DD
particularly chris and ethan,,, :3c
amen brotha
Meu sonho era ter um jogo de romance com o Leon, vocês estão de parabéns hein😍
this is so good im cryibh i need more
