Echoed Memories is a direct sequel to Gaia's Melody: Echoed Melodies.
While playing it isn't required, EM2 allows you to input EM1's save data, so you can customize your story further.
The game follows a group of already-heroes, focusing on their personal growth and development, and their interpersonal relationships as they progress through solving the mysteries of the overarching story.
They're searching for who they are, what they want, and what they need to achieve it.
The game deals with heavily emotional themes and topics (including trauma, anxiety, love, trust, despair, and the value of life).

The game is roughly 40-60 hours, and has examples of the following:
-Longwinded fluff where the characters flirt too much and forget their creator loves writing trauma
-Overpowered skills that remind you you probably don't need to levelgrind
-A severely redundant amount of Options to customize your playthrough with, ranging from difficulty, encounter rates, style adjustments, to letting the game decide who gets to be randomized into a swimsuit next
-Way too much fluff
-42 total collectable fun art pieces
-Literally 100 character costumes total
-Heavily lighthearted and comedic characters that make you forget the trauma you just went through
-Cute anime cutscene art and faces that you can turn off if you hate them!
-Voiced animated cutscene videos that can be skipped if you hate them!
-More fluff
-Way too much PDA
-Way too much funny NPC text also fluff


The game has a series of "Epilogue Quests", which get unlocked when completing the game proper. Please note, this segment contains a negligible amount of nudity, and discusses suggestive themes.
