Echoes of the Fey: The Fox's Trail is a solid effort from Woodsy Studio that does a good job at setting up subsequent adventures in this magical land, and I definitely look forward to seeing where the studio takes the next entry in the series. If you're a fan of visual novels then you're doing to enjoy this one at home as it does some interesting things with its story that will keep you coming back for more.

Echoes of the Fey: The Fox's Trail succeeds in a couple of areas but largely fails in others.

A decent game that doesn't seem like it was completely finished before being released. It's not a bad game, but neither is it a great game. One for hardcore Visual Novel fans only I'm afraid.
