## Story

Four years chronologically after the first game, Akira and her friends live in the town of New Teralolz, together with Aneka, a girl who randomly washed up ashore one day. However, the constant occurrence of tremors and the darkness in the air, trigger the previously friendly monsters of the island to become viscous and to lash out at the residents of the village. And this effect seems to be present everywhere in the world of Gaia.

Soon, the heroes will have to team up once more find the source of this negative power, and try to stop it once and for all.

## Anime Cutscenes

The voice acted cutscenes in the game take on an anime styled form, in contrast to the original's having the sprites of the overworld talking to each other, though most interactions in this remake use this style. There are also scenes similar to GMEM where the background is blurred, and pictures of characters are displayed over the blur and talk to each other with predrawn full body portraits, instead of full animation.

However the difference this time is that there is lip flaps that align to what the characters are talking about. Instead of static portraits, whenever the dialogue is revealing itself to the player their lips flap through alternating through png files which have different expressions. There are a total of 17 anime cutscenes in Echoed Memories.
