A Role to Play

Yet Another Gay Visual Novel from Echo Project

In A Role to Play, an armored fellow of varying potential names must escort a princess through a besieged kingdom to safety, accompanied by several colorful, non-human companions. 

Of course, that's only half the story.

Our real protagonist, Danny, has spent the past year recovering from a life-threatening incident that left him severely injured. Nearing his 21st birthday, and with some pressuring from his father, he leaves the solitude of his home to meet up with a local group of tabletop gamers at his town's library. A newcomer to tabletop, Danny finds that his new friends are about as unusual as the characters they play in-game.

Ultimately, ARtP is a gay, branching visual novel about roleplay, identity, and escapism. There are three main "routes" for this story, with each route being associated with a certain character. Those familiar with other Echo Project titles (Echo, Adastra, The Smoke Room, Arches) will be right at home with this framework.

• A narrative that explores escapism, roleplaying, and all the weird gay stuff that goes with it
• Two distinct art styles separating roleplay from reality
  
• Three routes with varying choices for replayability
• Original soundtrack by Abyuse, Anthemics, and Hop-skip and the Chewtoys
• Monthly updates via itch.io
• CW: Adult themes, drug and alcohols, strong language, sexual references, violence
