This is an amazing game, but it seems to be deserted even in their patreon. Would love to see it growth and be updated, both the story and charachter design are amazing, pls keep developing this astonishing game.
I don't comment on Itch games very frequently, since it's so easy to run through them one after another, giving into that endless well of unhealthy content consumption we all love to indulge in. I played A Role to Play just about 3 days ago, and it still hasn't left my mind. I keep thinking about absolutely everything about it. Firstly, i'm a gay TTRPG nerd, and this is a vn about gay TTRPG nerds. That was already enough to drag me in. Then, I met the main character and the rest of the cast, and it was enough to completely blow me away. I'm disabled. I am not disabled to the extent that the main character is, but I still am, and it just means so much to me to see this and an experience similar to mine and the way people treat you and the way you treat yourself as you struggle and try to heal inside even when you cant heal outside. I don't know how to structure my thoughts beyond this ramble but i love Tucker and I love Wazzy and I love Megan and I just love everything. To conclude, Wazzy is my darling son and I will protect him with my life.
this was absolutely lovely but my main takeaway is that i have a debilitating need to date tucker and wazzy is literally me. but wazzy and tucker shouldnt date probably. only the LITERAL literal me should date him. his autism swag has captivated me
So, uh, problem. It won't work. I'm an android user, and when I attempt to open the game, it will just close out automatically. When it does open, and I press start, it gets stuck on the black screen for a sec before closing. And if I'm really lucky, I'll get past the black screen, to the part where the radio guy talks about the temperature, then it'll close. I haven't gotten past that part because of this issue. Along with that, any time I try to open options, or try to use the little options down at the bottom when text is on the screen, the game immediately closes. I can't play, anyone know why this is happening? I've tried everything, allowing things to be downloaded, clearing cache, uninstalling then reinstalling, nothing works.
Honestly I think that's an issue with the device itself because I just managed to open it on my phone, given mine is Android 11 my exact phone is a MotoE6 but try it with another device (if possible) otherwise keep trying I had a similar issue with another VN and just had to brute force my way into playing it.
Love the set up. Hope MC gets some prosthetics or something down the track. Seeing that reaction from his dad is heartbreaking. You'd think he'd have adjusted after a year but I guess not..
I liked this a lot, very short (since I just played the demo) but I really like the cast and Wazzy is so far my fave, yeah he gets the most screentime but he's a lot of fun. I like how much of a spitfire he is. Megan's also real interesting just with how she ran with her character. I have other things but they'd touch on spoiler stuff so gotta end it here.
If you think about it isn't all echo project game tecnicaly is connected in the same universe, since in adastra there is millions of planets, this vn alone can just be placed in another unknown planet on adastra universe
Seems a normal modern world with all the furry aficionados. Anything non-human loving I expect will only be in campaign. I can't imagine it'll get spicy at the table but perhaps romance and fanfiction might be written down the track. Twinky Orc. Illithid Tentacles. Fuzzybutt Satyr and Scalie Dragonborn seem to be the picks judging by the artwork.
I've come to expect some degree of trauma from your writing, but I wasn't prepared at all for the mention of the SBF from a character who looks like Pat
Seriously though, great to see a new project in the works! Excited to see where this goes
Usually, I am against the creation of several games at the same time, I think it is penalizing for a writer. However, I see that only one person on the Echo team is working on this one. Echo Project is a team of several people.
Y'all can hate me for this comment but this is my genuine opinion. I feel that echo is trying to make too many new vn's at the same time and just can't juggle that all at once, based off how things have been going . Feel free to let me know what you guys think I rlly wanna know.
when you think about it they kinda do, after they finished echo and adastra instead of working on the spin offs for those they keep making new stuff its a little overwhelming.
See my post under Kxndy's - I don't work on any of those other projects. I'm the dude who finished Echo back in 2021 and have been developing this independently. None of the other current visual novels, interactive fiction, or exotic body pillows that are in development are my projects.

Considering they don't have the same people working on each games I don't think this is a big deal. This doesn't affect the schedule of any of the other projects.
I finished Echo back in 2021. I do not work on Arches, Adastra, Khemia, The Smoke Room, or Glory Hounds. The majority of the funding for this project comes from my own bank account and not patrons, and will eventually in 2023 be completely financially independent (whilst still being an Echo Project title). Me working on this does not affect other projects. This WIP build of A Role to Play build is also free to download, with no delayed release or charge wall.
For the current project schedule, Howly works on the Arches and the Adastra series, George_S does The Smoke Room, and Redd does Glory Hounds. We are all independent lead devs who sometimes collaborate.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to hit me up on the discord.
Glad y'all aren't overworking yourselves and if there's a way I can kick funding towards this project I'd be so down to. I like the whole set up and the characters so far. It's going to eat my life and I accept this.

Y'ALL NEED TO UPDATE THIS PPPLEEASSEE IM BEGGING YOU
MY BRAIN IS ROTTING
oh my god i need to hug wazzy so badI feel you dude. I feel you.

LKMFNAFAOAOAO HELEEPPEP
the mc is canonically gay so IM PRETTY SURE
im giggling like an idiot because of this comment ehjelpethis was absolutely lovely but my main takeaway is that i have a debilitating need to date tucker and wazzy is literally me. but wazzy and tucker shouldnt date probably. only the LITERAL literal me should date him. his autism swag has captivated me
omg I NEED more of this one. I really loved how it started and really wanna go through it all
same, the DnD aspect and potential
baraand stuff is really interesting.so! man, I really wanna badly get to know the characters better and even see where the DnD will end
When are you going to release the next update to this visual nove?
It's seems kinda deserted. Hoping there will be an update about it soon though.
looks good so far! the characters are charming and the art style is lovely. can't wait for more updates :)
When are you going to Post the next update to this Visual Novel?
Just read the novel looks nice so far
Was a bit shorter than what I expected
Like we didn't even get introduced to the whole cast
Looks good so far. Covers things most VN's do not with an MC that is also different. It's a nice change.
So, uh, problem. It won't work. I'm an android user, and when I attempt to open the game, it will just close out automatically.

Love this, can't wait for the next build :)
All that fuss going on with D&D isn't impacting this at all is it?
Is there any NSFW in it?
maybe, but no in this current patch
A role to play -32 Does not even open. the safe for work opens but the not safe for work does not open.
Good afternoon.
There is no safe for work / not safe for work variants of A Role to Play, so you might have us mixed up.
- McSkinny
No I didn't mix you up lol. Im also a pateron of yours. I wish I can send you a picture so you can see what im talking about.
Sushi on salami XD
Love the set up. Hope MC gets some prosthetics or something down the track. Seeing that reaction from his dad is heartbreaking. You'd think he'd have adjusted after a year but I guess not..
Can't wait for more of this!
I liked this a lot, very short (since I just played the demo) but I really like the cast and Wazzy is so far my fave, yeah he gets the most screentime but he's a lot of fun.

Hop-Skip and the Chewtoys ftw, hell yeah
Furry VN theory
If you think about it isn't all echo project game tecnicaly is connected in the same universe, since in adastra there is millions of planets, this vn alone can just be placed in another unknown planet on adastra universe
Quick question, will this be furry related or will all of the characters remain human throughout the entire story?
😐
Seems a normal modern world with all the furry aficionados. Anything non-human loving I expect will only be in campaign. I can't imagine it'll get spicy at the table but perhaps romance and fanfiction might be written down the track. Twinky Orc. Illithid Tentacles. Fuzzybutt Satyr and Scalie Dragonborn seem to be the picks judging by the artwork.
But who are the artists?
Sprites and/or background i mean
they r credited in the files !!!!
Hmmm a new novel from Echo project? Oh boi, here we go ;)
hes not introduced yet but i feel as if the guy with the lizard-like guy and bearded guy will be my favorite. the goblin guy is cool too though.
B e a r d e d M a n <3
Just from this build alone, Wazzy is already my favourite character.
This is a very interesting concept, I'm looking forward to the next update
The oil painting filter joke, wazzy giving me awkward bitch IRL representation, and the hell kitchen sound affect playing are all giving me LIFE 10/10
Wazzy would be the best person to do weird movie night over discord with.
I've come to expect some degree of trauma from your writing, but I wasn't prepared at all for the mention of the SBF from a character who looks like Pat
Seriously though, great to see a new project in the works! Excited to see where this goes
Oh c'mon, he's more Matt than Pat!
- McSkinny
This is so friggin good so far!! Can already tell I'm gonna love these characters
Usually, I am against the creation of several games at the same time, I think it is penalizing for a writer. However, I see that only one person on the Echo team is working on this one. Echo Project is a team of several people.
Im gonna try this one too. Thanks for making it.
And the musicians and artists (the picture making kind).
Is this staying just a role-playing story or is this going to go in some Knights of Pen and Paper shenanigans?
Reading on either way.
Ngl, the town's setting is giving me echo-related-anxiety x3
Will this vn involve romance and such?
Y'all can hate me for this comment but this is my genuine opinion. I feel that echo is trying to make too many new vn's at the same time and just can't juggle that all at once, based off how things have been going . Feel free to let me know what you guys think I rlly wanna know.

Hey Rice,
See my post under Kxndy's - I don't work on any of those other projects. I'm the dude who finished Echo back in 2021 and have been developing this independently. None of the other current visual novels, interactive fiction, or exotic body pillows that are in development are my projects.
- McSkinny
It hasn't made their work sloppy so far. Slowed down maybe.

Smoke Room is pretty good though
Update the Android too Please 😟
Done.
- McSkinny
What's new in the new update? Devlog?
Typos or sentences by the looks of it.
