BTW I laughed hard at the "Hi Sam" joke 
It was really predictable but so awesome.
It was really predictable but so awesome.So are her soldiers ignoring her commands or something? Or is she being paid by another party other than her employer (Heather?) to bring corrin in alive?

I literally thought "well that's a boring thread title". Then I got it. I'm dumb!
She was paid by another party to infiltrate Farrick's organization in order to get to Corrin. Once she shoots the soldier at the airport they realize that she's turning on them.

Thanks Feep! Downloading now. I'm excited to play this with voice commands.

PS4 could really have voice commands too, right?
Been having fun with the game off and on all afternoon. Not sure why, but one odd little thing I've noticed is that the voice recognition seems to interpret coughing as "pause game".
Steam cards seem to be bugged. The game doesn't show up on my badge page as having cards for some reason.

So, I have to say that this game blew away my expectations. The art is great, soundtrack is spectacular, and the voice commands are the most satisfying and unique gameplay style I have ever played. If nothing else, this game is more then likely the most unique and revolutionary out of all the ones to come out this year or in recent memory.
Incredible job Feep and the rest of the team at Irridium, I haven't finished the game yet, but there had better be a sequel to this.

Found that applying changes to the settings causes this bug.

The voice controls were working somewhat fine for me early on, but then it all went to hell, and no amount of voice calibration will get the game to recognize anything I'm saying. I also got stuck in an infinite loop of both characters dying because I wasn't informed that they only had two shield recharges, and are basically screwed without them.
There also appears to be two different mic sensitivity options. One is in the voice calibration menu, and the other is in the audio and voice options menu. Changing one doesn't change the other.
I'm watching the sensitivity bar jump every time I speak, and it has this pretty big delay, while also jumping immediately from about filling the bar halfway to completely filling it, and hearing Val tell me I'm being too loud.
Maybe I'm just really bad at these games that require some unique form of control on my end like Skyward Sword. Usually after something like this fails me so many times in a row, I get mad, start yelling or swinging more wildly, causing even more inaccuracy, then I just rage quit like I did awhile ago...

Waiting for this to install, can't wait! Thank you again so much Feep. I'll be supporting you again the next few months with Another Episode coming out and all.
I didn't realize how big the voice cast was on this though, looking at the trailer. Laura Bailey, Yuri Lowenthal, Cindy Robinson, Feep himself, and Wil Wheaton! This is going to be joy to my ears.
I'm going to get the soundtrack with the next $10 I get, and if it ever comes to Mac I'll get my boyfriend a copy.

I'm having just about 0 issues with the game. Sometimes when loading it pauses for a few seconds and seems like the game goes to background while something else loads, but then continues loading as normal.
Pretty fun so far.

Just came to ask about this. I'm running 1680x1050 myself and I can't see all of the quest information off to the right side.
Just started the game and so far the production value alone is incredible. I've always wanted a virtual Wil Wheaton to obey my every command. Great stuff Feep, I'll be buying at least one additional copy if not two for a couple friends.
I am totally 100% biased because I worked on this game with Feep, but I think There Came An Echo is awesome. I am super proud of all the hard work and genius that Feep put into it (and is still putting in as he continues to fix bugs and improve the experience). I've said it before and I'm sure I will say it again, but thanks for making me a part of this experience, man.
And thanks to everyone else for playing and reviewing and giving feedback! This is such an exciting and gratifying time. I hope y'all have a blast playing this awesome game.

I really enjoy it from what I've heard, and I love getting video game soundtracks to listen to while I'm out walking/jogging or in the car.
It's about a 1/3 of the way done for me on steam.
yeah im interest in this too because I have a 100$ microphone at home but Feep said it's better with a headset

Amazing that this game went from an unknown to a game I'm really excited about in less than a week.
Can't wait to try it out tonight!

Oh it is? I have a mic that runs through a mixer (I tried voice acting for a while) sitting on my desk, but if I need to go get a headset I can see if I can find a cheap one.
Yes the voice recognition is surprisingly good for a non-native such as myself.
Well I encountered a glitch in the first mission, specifically the part where
Corrin was supposed to leap over the arm chair and shoot the bad guy who flanked Miranda
And everything was going so smoothly ;_;
Well the same thing happened again and Corrin is just standing there not doing his thing...
Edit: Choosing [Backdoor] instead of [Split Up] mitigated the problem. Seems like Corrin's position before triggering that scene has something to do with it?
This is on the first mission (I chose to split up before breaching). Will choose the other option and report back.

Gah. Can you send error logs on that one? Found at (located at steam/steamapps/common/ThereCameAnEcho/ThereCameAnEcho_Data/output_log.txt and steam/steamapps/common/ThereCameAnEcho/VoiceCoreErrorLog.txt). We cannot repro after six attempts. What's your framerate like?

I'm not using voice controls. I'm supposed to tell Corrin to escape. My controller couldn't do anything but look around. Then the mouse wouldn't accept any inputs. I hit escape and all the menus started stacking on each other, like each won't close when I go to a new one, and they're behind the main menu you get when you hit escape so they're unusable. I had to quit out.
Basically I don't know even where to begin with what I encountered.
Edit: I just tried again, and the menus double up and don't disappear even from the main menu, if I try to change anything.

I don't know which parts exactly you need so I just uploaded the files:

VoiceCoreErrorLog
My framerate is fine but I locked it to 30 fps beforehand just to make sure it stays stable. I only played the mission one time after that glitch.

What's the best configuration for a desktop mic and stereo speakers? The game's audio is fighting my own right now, and four times already in the first half hour the game has commanded itself to pause (once, of course, when the game mentioned I could pause).
I just use headphones.

That's probably what I'll end up doing but my boyfriend was hoping to watch me play and I figured there'd be a solution since Xbox Kinect is planned eventually.
Have you tried enabling the Push-To-Talk and Sound Dampen options under Misc? All game sound gets pretty low when you hit the PTT button.
So, update: I actually managed to find a cellphone headset in my apartment! It's not ideal, but at least I was able to play now, and so far, I'm not only impressed, but more importantly, entertained. I'm up to mission 7. Voice recognition works fine so far (I have trouble getting Bravo + anything and anything + the number 4 to work, but I blame that on my pronounciation, since almost everything else works perfectly), I'm intrigued by the story, I love the voice acting and (not really a spoiler but who knows, people are sensitive when it comes to newly released games)
Soooo good.
I'll have to stop for now as it's almost 1 am, but I'm looking forward to continuing tomorrow.
the tower defense mission was absolutely amazing. Fucking intense, that. I was never close to losing, but my heart was still racing regardless as a was giving out commands left and right.

This means the voicecore is crashing, but obviously it should not if you're not even intending to use the voice commands. Do you have a microphone plugged into your computer? And can you send me your logs at: (located at steam/steamapps/common/ThereCameAnEcho/ThereCameAnEcho_Data/output_log.txt and steam/steamapps/common/ThereCameAnEcho/VoiceCoreErrorLog.txt)
