Our take on London: Echoes of the Past
Rather than treating mystery as a purely procedural investigation, the game places romance, personal history, and viewpoint changes alongside its central case. Its extra branches revisit known events through other characters’ inner perspectives, while a time-travel episode extends the story beyond its main period.
What is London: Echoes of the Past?
This short yuri mystery visual novel follows a private detective in 1935 London as a woman believed dead returns and old secrets resurface.
The investigation connects a student client, an international businesswoman, a former girlfriend, strange commissions, and clues tied to the past. The story includes romance and personal growth alongside questions of justice, hidden motives, and a shooting. It contains about 90,000 words, three endings, cel-shaded backgrounds, and more than 25 CGs. Additional narrative branches present the established events from Queenie’s and Xin Rui’s viewpoints after their respective character routes are completed. A separate time-travel story of about 20,000 words takes place in Iceland in 1980 and follows the characters into another period of their lives.
