About

(Adastra contains themes of an adult nature - you must be 18 or older to play)

Adastra is a romance visual novel with a whole bunch of sci-fi and political intrigue mixed in. You'll experience the perils of navigating an empire in turmoil while deciding who you should and who you definitely shouldn't trust.

It all starts while you're having the time of your life in Rome on a study abroad program. Just as you're settling in, you're suddenly abducted by an alien. What does he want from you? Well, he doesn't seem to want to tell you, and before you know it, you're millions of miles away from Earth on your way to an empire you know nothing about.

It's a climate of turncoats and backstabbers, and you start to wonder if the alien that abducted you is the one person you can trust the most.

Our wonderful sprite art is by the artist HAPS, who you can find on his twitter.

The background art is by the also wonderful Blacksun who you can find on her furaffinity.

Hey echo, I'd love to read this but for the android version it says I can't downloaded it cause of the the phone version, maybe cause adastra was meant for earlier android phones? Was wondering if you was gonna update the Novel, would love it guys!

I cryed a lot, and i loved that history 🥲❤️

I know you guys hear this a lot but I just want to let you guys know, Adastra changed my life, It's a really good vn, in my opinion the best one, It made me cry, it made me happy, thanks Echo Project for making one of the best games in the whole world
Amicus And Neferu Best boys!

I have to rate this a 10/10 this was such good story although I didn't understand the story but yes it was good, the plot twist is good, actually everything is really good, I was so shocked the first ending that i got but I did redo it just to unlock some scenes and other routes, i expected this was a long story but it's kinda short tbh but ngl it did well

(+2)(-1)

Я думаю что я уже осень близко к концу , но я могу заявить что на данный момент игра мне очень нравиться вся эта история , персонажи , музыка и т.д. Передаю низкий поклон создателям после  Адастры хочу попробовать другие ваши проекты например Эхо

I finished Adastra maybe 20 minutes ago, and I fucking loved everything about it.

Thank you to everyone who worked on this, the art was wonderful, the story was amazing, and I was invested for nearly 3 days straight.Everything hit me right after, I listened to music and bawled my eyes out. I think this game helped me think about myself too, so thank you to everyone who worked on this, I'll try see if I can find a way to give any of you anything in return eventually.

also thanks Patty you basically were the reason why I got so invested!!! love your music!!!! :3333

yall gotta stop requesting vns that'd make me wanna tear up... I dont think I can explain how good Adastra is... (I havent finish completely, but I'm close to the end... I think)

Just finished Adastra today and I'm absolutely shaken. Tears are flowing, and I'm lost for words. This experience is beyond incredible; everyone needs to have it. Such a powerful journey of emotions, I'm overwhelmed with happiness. Highly recommend it to all!

When i download it, i don't see the app i saw allot of photos of the vn  in my gallery i think its a bug

I cried playing this, this is so good!

(+1)

I cannot begin to fully describe how AMAZING this story is, and the amount of emotions it's made flutter through my mind while reading (playing?) this amazing story. From beginning to end, I was enthralled by the storytelling, both visual and non. And though there are adult-themes/scenes - plenty, in fact - it isn't about them, it's about the vivid and lively characters that are masterfully written and portrayed. If you had any doubts of whether or not you want to read this... you should squash those doubts, and read it. This story is too good for one to NOT read it, so please do. Have a good day, and thanks for reading :3

Incredible and moving story, glad this was the first VN that I played

(+1)

I love the little cat man he has a variation of my name and its so aaaaaaa

(+2)

It's a visual novel that leaves you with an intense longing. For more story, for it to never end.♥️😪

(+2)

I'm back once again to say I finally finished this masterpiece. this absolute work of art. My favorite story I ever had the pleasure of reading. I ugly cried twice and got choked up with a few scenes multiple times. But I just wanted to say. Thank you for making this story and making it make me realize who I truly am as a person with the help of my very best friend Theo. I can't honestly thank him enough and thank you enough for this story I will now cherish with all my heart. And I hope me and my friend enjoy the sequels either after they finally finished or what we got so far. Please don't rush yourselves and take your time. Another thing this story made me want to do is start my own visual novel. anyways I give this story a 10/10 for making me feel so many emotions.

I relate so much with this, especially with wanting to make a visual novel of your own. I was more thinking for myself to just write a story that is able to encapsulate others the way Adastra did me. Perhaps not actually making a visual novel, though that may change lol.

(+2)

One of the most beautiful stories I have and think will ever read. Never fails to make me cry. From start to finish this game is amazing

(2 edits) (+2)

I never cried so fucking hard. I didn't finish it yet but It just makes me want someone a man like Amicus to come out of no where to just sweep me from under my feet and tell me everything is alright. I hate that I felt this way but I thank my friend Theo for introducing this to me. I will now make this my favorite story I ever read. I never thought I would cry over a visual novel, Hell I thought it was just gonna be as bad as Amorus... But I was wrong. Thank you Echo Project and if I had so much money I'd donate it to you but I can't so all I can do is spread the word of this masterpeice

(+1)

I NEVER CRIED SO MUCH, it's the best visual novel I've ever played, beautiful art, perfect story and simply incredible characters, it's a work of art

(+1)

Finally finished it after several weeks and found the courage to go ahead and say it, I loved it and I cried. Yeah, I'm a little bitch, I cry when I feel things, but it's hard not to. A certain part of the story was unnecessary, but it's a still solid 9/10 will cry again.

(+1)

We're all little bitches... let those tears flow

When I tried to install adastra on my phone and it gave me this message. (I'm running android 14 S21+ so that might be the issue?) 

(+2)

download joiplay

(1 edit) (+2)

I'm invested in this story. I hate Alex now because he's a little snitch. I want to fuck Neferu and get fucked by Amicus. I got sick to my stomach with how embarrassed, and pissed off I got when Amicus and the player fucked up the first trial. I shall return when I finish this masterpeice

Is anyone else having trouble installing adastra (my phone updated recently )

(+2)

also having this issue :( it looks like the .apk file is 32-bit, and newer android only supports 64-bit now (at least on a google pixel, which is what i have). only way to get around it is to root your phone, or play on pc. super bummed rn

(+1)

there's an app called joiplay that emulates adastra 

(+1)

How do you emulate it? I downloaded the apk, but the joiplay app doesn't have it as an option. to open.

you download the PC version 

There's also a guide to help in the app

(+1)

It happened to me aswell

(+6)

im not even part of the furry community, but holy sh*t this is a religious experience T-T

notes:

1- rollercoaster of emotions

2- prepare napkins

3- be ready for the post-adastra depression

4- amicus best boi

Neferu is also a good boy I just wish I could be with both him and Amicus

I finished it and I am all into the post-adastra depression, I don't know what to do with my own life now

You can play Khemia(The sequel, still in development) or Interea that (I think) It continues this story 8 years later but i'm not sure

(+12)

This is possible the greatest thing i have ever experienced, i never thought i could feel such strong emotions for a character that just isnt real. This story makes me realize how badly I need to be with people, and be with someone for the rest of my life. And im worried the relationship im in right now wont work out. This is going to stay with me forever, 20/10 I want to give everyone who worked on this a personalized message so badly to really express my feelings.

If your worried about the NSFW stuff, don't be. be worried with the amount of tissue papers you will go through 

thank you so much for creating this game, I'm amazed its free

(+6)

Adastra was the first visual novel I've read and I *heavily* recommend it. The story is great and the characters are well developed. 10/10 in my opinion.

(+2)

Skuru wolf had said something about the game and I'm glad he recommended it.

(+1)

It seems like Android 14 is not compatible with the game. Can you fix it please 🙏

(8 edits) (+4)

They would have to rebuild it with a modern SDK which is unlikely to happen, but you can fix it yourself if you know a little bit about terminal commands. Basically:

  1. Download & extract the SDK platform tools to your PC.
  2. Download the APK & put it in the same folder as the SDK tools.
  3. Enable developer options & USB debugging on your phone and connect it to your PC.
  4. Open a terminal in the folder with SDK tools & APK and execute: adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block 'Adastra 17-release.apk'

Mine says the abd file isn't recognized?

(+2)

You mean "abd is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"?

That means it cannot find the file, probably because one of the following reasons:

  1. You simply mistyped it. It's "adb" (for "Android Debug Bridge"), not "abd". There should be a file with the same name in the folder you downloaded.
  2. The command prompt isn't running from the folder with the file. It won't find all the files on your system, just the ones in the current working folder, which is displayed at the start of every line. You can change it with the "cd" command. For example, if you're in "C:\” you can type "cd Users" to go to "C:\Users".
  3. You're not using the command prompt. I'm assuming you're on Windows, then make sure that you're actually using the command prompt by starting "cmd.exe". If you're unsure, just type that into the search and click the first result. If you accidentally started PowerShell, another terminal program on Windows, my tutorial might not work because it has a slightly different syntax.

I love the game and the continuation in the other two games are cool though at the end of this one where you need to save  and there is a little fter that the cliff hanger least I see it that way I wish there had been a llittle more not wanting to give anything away it hasn't really been mentioned not thsy part spacifficly. love the game and looking forward to more with the other two or future related projects if made

(+5)

Well. First of all. Wow. Didn't expect to fall in love with a wolf. Second. Few games have made me feel this way, and even fewer have made me cry. 

Really an 10 out of 10. Highly reccomended. I fucking loved it. Amicus my beloved 🥰 

(also kinda bummed i couldn't get a Amicus plushie)

(+4)

I played through the whole game and had so many feelings , ive cried so much and was angry at some of the characters choices. But this game blew my mind, wasn't a huge fan of the ending but it fit the game. I loved all the characters and the story and the bonds created with the characters! 10/10 game! 

(1 edit) (+2)

My second VN i’ve tried and this one is… Beside not having a lot of choices, it still immerses me into the story. I actually feel happy for Marco, also sadness, and i actually develop somewhat unnatural feelings for Amicus. Never experienced anything like this. Tears, laugh, happiness and then, it ends. Overall i recommend this and i love this game so much. It got me into reading actual novels (which i never really liked until today.), and i’m now left with determination that i will eventually find out, what will continue. After those years pass by… And i hope we’ll see how Marco worked out the stuff on Earth!

I thank Echo project for making this. I deeply cannot get over it and i still feel this surges of emotions passing through me although i’m not actually playing it anymore. And making me have a crush on a wolf from an outer space is also not really good but. I’m not complaining.

I want to make a wish. I wanted to ask you to make a translated version into Brazilian Portuguese, as much as it may seem, there are Brazilians who simply LOVE Adastra. So I would love it if my request was fulfilled :)

(1 edit) (+7)

If you are LGBT especially gay because the relationship is gay then play this VN! This VN helped me find myself more and just how fucked up stuff is that you don't even realize. I cried at this story.

(Came here looking for.....came out 3 days later (I played this over many days): crying, depressed (but good), and discovered a whole lot about myself.) 10/10

(+2)

I don't even know what to say. The rollercoaster of emotions I had playing this game, the feeling of being on the verge of tears on certain parts makes this game better than any other I've played before. Somehow this game that I had mild expectations of absolutely sucker punched me and made me genuinely not want the story to end. Despite how long this comment is turning out to be, I'm genuinely at a loss for words; I have so many thoughts and feelings about this that a simple comment cannot convey. This game is perfect in every sense of the word.

(+3)

the passage of the novel was worth all the sleepless nights. There is nothing better than this. Amicus is forever in the heart now

(+2)

I love this!! this was amazing

(1 edit) (+4)

Tried to download the apk file, but it doesnt work on newer phones or something because it isnt compatible with my phone version or something. Is this something anyone else experiences, and does Echo Project plan on making a fix or something?

(+1)

Same, can't seem to download it

I was able to download the APK, but for some reason I can't install it on my Pixel 7 D:

would love a web version of this!

There is 1% chance Echo Project will reply to this, but oh well:
Hi there! I love the Adastra franchise for more than two years now and I'm planning on make a game of my AU. Could I have the permission? I can draw sprites of my own if you don't want me to use the already existing assets, as well as the backgrounds. If you don't want to, I will understand either way. Thank you for reading, if you did! I will absolutely give you credit, by the way, if I end up having permission!

you could always send them a message on Twitter - theyre way more active there

I don't have a twitter, but if they're way more active there, I'll give it a try! Thanks for the tip !

(+1)

Doesn't work on my newer phone, but I was able to get it to launch on my quest 2, BUT I can't get past the entering my name part 🙃 would have been nice to see the boys on the big screen
