My god... never played something this horrible since a long time. - No translation - Controls are horrible with a joystick - Carac design is ugly as hell - Physics is really bad (just look at the lantern at the start...), also you can't pass/ dodges zombies they are like walls - Zombies spawn from nowhere - Map is bugged as hell (unavalable during first game and appear misteriously on the second one) - Some interation with items and even mouvments like running only avalable when you have the tutoriel or inspecting something which is really dumb - Cutscenes totally outdated - Impossible to hit ennemis with close combat weapons without get hit, reach is horrible and some ennemis will die in one hit... Other not in 3 And I can go on and on...I mean come on, don't make games if you don't know how to do it. I only have 2 hours played but I'm guessing it will be worse and worse Maj : After 5 Hours seems like you cannot procede to continue the game after a certain point, that save are buggy as hell with item spawning and that the map is disabled on purpose... But I must admit that the decors are great, also are the sound design and the atmosphere. So game could be pretty decent if everything is fixed

This game shouldn't be in early access, unfortunately it's not ready. The save system is very buggy. I died and somehow the save I had saved my state just before my death. You have to use a floppy disk and a computer to save so my save file shouldn't have saved my death state. I had to restart the game. The controls can be wonky and unresponsive unfortunately too. I'm using the experimental controls and I have found that Liam seems to stick to walls at times. The game has a mechanic where items are supposed to glow blue when you're close to them but it only works when it wants to. I want to recommend this game but in its current state I can't. Hopefully with time that will change. **update** The save issue seems to occur if you have a save in a previous area and die after changing locations and return to the previous location because of your save. Example: Your save is in the motel. You die in Iron Gate before you can save, this example seems to cause the save issue. Save in new areas asap to avoid the save being inaccurate. Also seems the game tracks saves made even if you restart the game. In order to truly have a fresh start you have to completely delete your save. I don't know if number of saves matters in this game yet though. **Update 2** After the Pub I can no long save my game for some reason. Liam looks at the computers but will not interact at all. The main menu now has continue as an option but I can't load my save anymore. Please fix the save function.

At this point, I DO NOT recommend this game. It needs a lot of work, bug fixes, gameplay balances and a lot more. Saving is broken. You respawn with the same inventory and health but I'm sure this glitch will be fixed eventually. The level design looks fine. No complaints there. The fixed camera makes the movement very awkward compared to other games that have fixed perspectives. I probably won't be returning to this game but I wish the 2-Person dev team lots of luck and best wishes!

I was super excited to play this game and waited for over a year to pay it... highly disappointed. The graphics and FPS are amazing. However, Multiple features are bugged including the save feature, map and the temp auto save feature they implemented to fix the saves. If you die part of your inventory will stay and your health will drop to low. some of your inventory will save from where you died and the map will become partially locked. i had multiple saves corrupt and had to restart multiple times due to game breaking glitches where doors do not open as they should or puzzles marked as completed and don't register as completed. Some runs items will spawn as they should and some runs they wont spawn at all or will have delayed spawns after 30 minutes of running around looking. After 6 hours of fighting the game i am unable to beat it which is extremely sad even for early access game. save your money - i have contacted steam to inform the game is unbeatable in its current state.

There was no audio option to change the extreme loud scrolling of the menus and when opening the map. Hurt my ears so had to refund the game before I went deaf or went crazy from the screeching I would have experienced. Btw the game was 33GBs.... whats up with that.....

Don't bother playing. Played for an hour with no save points or autosaves. Not sure if it's a bug, but I'm not going to play for an unknown amount of time, die because the controls are jank, and then start over from the very beginning. Just not going to happen. Refunded.

Decent enough game but needs more ammo/herbs. Way too many areas where you cant manuever around zombies and even juking them they still grab you

If you quit the game without dying, your state (health and inventory) is saved and you keep it when you reload. Meaning you can abuse the game and duplicate items. But you can also get ****ed like me if you got hit too much wanted to reload a save and you lost your ammo, your healing items and all the zombies are back. I would need to start over now. It's an early access so it will be fixed eventually but I'm out. I'll come back on full release and change my review if the game is good and works.

It's not a bad game per se, but it needs a lot of bug fixing and polish. I knew what I was getting into with the Early Access label ("pay to beta test") so I can't complain too much. But I can still complain about how raw this game feels. The controls drift horribly in Modern Control mode and are slightly sluggish in Tank Control mode, the lack of maps for any level make navigation confusing at first, and the underground safe in the Pub level has me completely stumped because the supposed combination doesn't work. There's also no option to make Liam snap to another enemy while aiming. You have to stop and aim again in the general direction of an enemy. That split second is more than enough time for a foe to close the gap and attack, potentially killing you if you're at Critical health. A playable demo of this game has been out for over a year now. Why, unless this is being worked on by one person, is it still so unfinished?

amazing game! been waiting for this game for years! this game echoes of the living and torment souls are the true successor to resident evil games! fixed camera angles, puzzles, zombies! I love this game. it's amazing what indie video game developers can do! and this game currently is just 2 people creating this game. I personally love Laurel Reaves. she is hot!

This game is a beautiful tribute to the RE classics! The level designs are stunning and cant get over it! So far no complaints here

Love the direction of the game, but the controls need to be tightened up. Looking forward to the finished product!

After a few hours of tinkering with the files of the game i was able to actually start the game up and play again. The biggest problem that I had was that the game was no longer allowing me to progress because I had unintentionally sequence broke the game at a certain point (the developer has already made a post about which part so I won't spoil anything). I absolutely love this genre of game and it makes me so happy that there are developers out there that share that same love for this genre. From a gameplay standpoint it's very akin to Code Veronica with a fresh new coat of paint. I'm glad that i was able to solve the issue because now I can actually play the game and enjoy myself. Thank You MoonGlint for working tirelessly to patch the game. I can't wait to finish Liam's campaign and play as Yanny to round out the adventure ;)

What happened to this game? The first demo I played was great! Scratched the itch I had for a classic, tank control RE style game. Now the visuals are worse, the lighting is awful and it's so hard to see anything. Enemies are hidden in shadows and poor lighting and behind corners you can't see to get cheap shots on you. The combat feels way worse and far more clunky. The controls and movement are way less responsive than I remember from the demo. I am happy to support indie developers, but this game has somehow regressed. Save your money for now, and hopefully an update will add much needed polish to this lackluster game. Devs, for the love of God, please fix the lighting. It's borderline unplayable because it's so hard to see anything.

I liked everything about this game until the mutiple game breaking bugs, like my inventory gaining double items or a key item like a switch did not load back after dying in the sewers, it drove me crazy cuz I didnt relize it for 30 min. that was the end for me so make sure your making new saves and not overwriting so you can at least try again without wasting too much of your time. i would recommend but I cant in this state.

No Ultrawide Support

Echoes of the Living certainly has the basics right but what the game is sorely lacking is polish and bug fixing. As it currently stands there are plenty of issues with the early access release from severe bugs like playthrough stopping softlocks to minor ones such as translation issues and everything in between. As of writing this I've hit a progression blocking bug 3 times and I think at this point it is fair to say I can't recommend the game at this moment, there is a good game here but it simply was not ready for early access release in its current state.
