Echo Generation Patch 1 Notes (build v1.105a)
New Features
Free Roam after Credit Roll
A welcome quality of life improvement is the option to go back and forage for achievements after Echo Generation's credits start to roll. Pressing ‘Continue’ or loading a completed save file in the Main Menu will bring you back to the inventor’s garage before entering the portal and you can start your free-roaming for achievements right then and there.
Quests
The devs have added a hint that will help the players access the door of the landed spaceship. They've also added a clue about the Alien Painting and what to do with it once you get to the lab.
