it's not really anything more than just a fanfic given the visual novel treatment, which i guess is really cool for whoever wrote it but besides some nice moments of just flynn and carl alone time, goofin off (which i think is pretty well written, kinda feels like they just were ripped straight from Echo) once the shirt comes off it just devolves to generic furry porn
which i am here for, just wanna make that clear, i'm traaaaaaaaash lmao
i really wish there was more to it, honestly. something to, i guess, justify it's presence in the itch.io page for the Echo Project? I feel like there was potential to be able to explore Flynn's feelings of Carl, and Carl's feelings of trying to express some of his desires in this way. I still like it, the two cg pieces are good, but besides being some nice wish fulfillment for me there's not a lot going for this lmao
extra 1/2 star because flynn sucks at dark souls. just like me fr!

Morbid curiosity got the best of me.
Echo: Benefits is a Carl X Flynn porn fanfic that the people at EchoProject liked enough to make canon. This was written by someone completely uninvolved in Echo's development and you can tell--the characterization of Carl and Flynn are both a little off, and a lot of the internal monologue here doesn't make sense for this point in the timeline (this happens vaguely somewhere in the year before Echo, so I feel like "the old friend group" wouldn't be something Flynn would be thinking about nearly as much). Lots of little weird things that crop up in the writing like that, which makes this not a very good entry to the really tightly written Horror Mystery Psych Drama energy of Echo. But that is not the point of Benefits, the point of Benefits is to be a porn fanfic.
I will give them this, though: Flynn definitely would be the type of dude to suck ass at Dark Souls, and Carl definitely would be the type of dude to say "I'm not gay" 5 minutes before sucking dick

so i actually finished echo yesterday but i need some time to properly metabolise whatever happened in that one and then be able to write a complete review of what i actually think about a game that will surely become one of my fav ones of all time
that being said this is porn no way around it this is straight up gay porn fanfic turned into a vn and honestly it couldve been way worse
its runtime is ridiculously short and i dont even know if it goes over 20 mins of reading but im probably being real generous rn
this is about the friendship with benefits between 2 of the main characters in echo which is somehow hinted in the vn but never made THAT explicit so the fandom cleverly considered to make them explicitly fuck and the authors said yknow what now this is canon and thats the road that brought me here
because its fairly short (and thats a compliment) the actual sex scenes are overly rushed and theres only two (2) CGs that i do actually enjoy so cant complain about that but it left me wanting some more action at least to make it clock at around 1 hour with some actual dope scene like deadass when it was starting to get good and i was expecting an anal sex CG the fucking "thanks for playing" screen appeared are you fucking with me rn
fr my fav sex scene is the first one and it doesnt even involve carl who made this shit we need to talk
anyway if youre looking for a competent horny vn this aint for you ALTHOUGH if you finished echo and youre looking for some flynn x carl "quality" time you will be some degree of disappointed and you should get back to rule34
cant believe im rationalising a porn fan game like this
