Unused Graphics

Early Title Screens

game\ui\cover.jpg is a very early version of the title screen.

The hovered buttons also exists.

Early	Final

game\ui\mm\cover.jpg is a slightly earlier version of the title screen. The only differences are that the menu options are positioned slightly different and Chase not having a goatee.

Unused Backgrounds

hall1.png (used)	hall2.png (unused)

hall2.png is an unused version of the old mansion hallway. The only difference is that there's a light fixture above the door to the right indicating that it's actually a lift.

motelcorner.png is an unused, unfiltered motel background.

Jenna

Echo-EchoJenna_Edit.png is an unused sprite of Jenna in underwear.

Leo

Leoyoung.png is a slightly younger version of Leo which would later be used in Echo: Route 65.

William Photo

hand3.png (used)	handlol.png (unused)

handlol.png is an unused version of the old photo of William which has the "CM-1915" text positioned rather... oddly. Given the filename, it's likely just a developer joke that got left in.

Chase's Phone

phone_terror.png (used)	phone_no.png (unused)

phone_no.png is an unused graphic of Chase's phone displaying a low battery icon. This was likely meant to be used in Carl's route when Chase checks his phone after ending up in the old mansion. phone_terror.png is used instead.

Unused Text

TJ-Friday.rpy contains several additional lines during the scene where Julian and Chase find TJ passed out in front of the mine; these were added in Build 0.32, then commented-out by the author in subsequent builds (rather than being removed entirely):

#"I glance to my left, through the grid, and I come face to face with a blood-red visage of rage."
#"I see piercing yellow eyes, and a row of white, blocky teeth...and then all of the blackness that extends beyond it..."
#unk "\"How long do you think you can keep it hidden? You know someone's onto you.\""
#"A clawed and withered hand sticks out through the bars, resting on TJ's head, ruffing his ears almost affectionately."
#unk "\"How could he ever forgive you?\""
#"I stare back at a different face - increasingly empty eyes, pools of bottomless silence..."
