Etho in Heartfall
Updated 2026-10-15 · Last checked 2026-10-15
An opening forest character, later a marsh contact and Red Jasper trade partner in Music is Magic. This profile describes the fictional Heartfall portrayal, not the creator or a promise of a standalone romance route.
We checked the unencrypted data in the official free Linux v1.01 build on 15 October 2026. These are data-derived route and ending conditions, not a claim that we played every branch. Later patches can change them. We do not redistribute the game, dialogue scripts, or ending artwork.
Where to meet this character
Opening forest, then the marsh in relevant routes.
Build evidence: Session1 / Reputation15-16; IP3_TradeComplete; DFA6 / Conditional Etho. The active session determines the encounter; a character need not remain at their opening position.
Route decisions and consequences
Complete the Red Jasper information trade to gain one strange-evidence increment. The Dark Forest uses Etho’s reputation separately from the Music Box clue counter.

How this profile is sourced
Roles and encounter references are checked in the shipped session and conversation data. We do not infer the game cast from a 3rd Life participant list, import unrelated fan lore, or assume a character has the same fate in every branch. The ending guide separates reputation, inventory, evidence counters, and route flags.
