A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

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.

If you'd like to keep up with all things Adastra, you can do so on our Patreon which you can find  HERE!

Can someone recommend a game like this?

Hello!, I'm Wolfer The Wolf, and I have some difficulty interpreting things in English, so I'm going to use the translator in this comment (I'm sorry...).

Well, to begin with, I have never been this emotional in my entire life. It's surreal how much I was moved by Adastra, at every moment.

Well, to begin with, I have never been this emotional in my entire life. It's surreal how much I was moved by Adastra, at every moment.

Adastra managed to show my weakest points, which I still have problems with today. I'm very sensitive, I know, but I didn't know I was that sensitive.

Every sad or happy moment made me cry a lot...

From, Amicus being extremely drunk and sad, to the losses and farewell at the end. Mainly in relation to the separation of the two. All of this, together with the soundtrack, made me cry a lot...

Adastra showed me how alone I feel in the world, and how much I wanted to feel good with someone, just a very loved person. Even though I am "Polyamorous", having an "Amicus" by my side would be enough for my whole life.

I apologize for having so little... authenticity, for using the translator instead of writing using a dictionary (Sorry...).

Also, do someone know were i can find and download and the game soundtrack? (A place that isn't Soundcloud please, i am broke) :P

(1 edit)

My review:

This game is pure masterpiece, the themes involved, the atmosphere, everything fits perfectly. The love between Amicus and Marco were something i thought "Pfft, this won't work, they are totally different species!" What happened? A beautiful couple.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! PROCEED FOR YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

The soundtrack also fit perfectly at each scene. And i got fully reduced to a mess of tears at the Amphiteatre scene, the one where MC/Marco get hit by the Vita. The fear and panic evident at Amicus face, combined with "Light Years Apart" made me cry like a baby! That scene now lives forever at my mind, and all the times i hear the song, i feel a pang of sadness and nostalgia, alongside a heavy feeling at my chest.

Amicus have shone upon me a feeling i never felt before...i realized of how much lonely i were all that years. This is the second VN i play and Adastra is the only one that made me cry.

I totally recommend for new players to give it a try! It is worth all the hours of gameplay.

Then you know amicus is the backup and if the parents hade ther way amicus and nefertari would have been together and if they did ther job right the cat would not have been seen as evil he is just trying to save his little Caesar wolf at any costs he is ok with getting hit or beaten but if it happens to his lover he could die

Does it have a Spanish translation?

Why are there so many comments whining about the ‘cheating’ in the story, when there isn’t? Amicus and MC/Marco don’t even get together till AFTER the second trial (If I remember right)! Besides, Amicus and Neferu do it for Marco’s safety, when Cato eventually went after MC/Marco later on. Remember what Amicus said, it’s like a trade, MC/Marco being safe for a quick fun time! But yes, Neferu was definitely a bit eager to get into Amicus’s pants at the start…

There is a sequel?

Technically, yes. There’s Khemia and Interea, but I’d skip Interea, cause it’s not only unfinished, but its probably not going to be. Check out Khemia, its also not finished just yet, being updated whithin the next few months (probably), but it adds onto the narrative and characters a bit more!

for those want to play adastra on latest android phone, click here and download the rebuild version of its apk

I am sure it has been asked several times, but: will Adastra get a version 1.00 or 1.01?
The story *IS* complete after all!

(-2)

Probably not since there isnt a reason

Deleted post

Well here we are with there still not being a updated version of it after 4-5 years

I just finished this part. Which part should I continue with? Can anyone tell me?L

(+1)

Interea is a recount of things that happened in parallel. I think that would be the best choice. Khemia starts some time after Adastra's ending.

Deleted post
(+1)

Actually, Khemia is getting ready to be updated. Echo Project said both on their twitter and on their Patreon that, “With Arches complete, Howly and Haps are back to work on Khemia.” But I don’t know nor think that Interea is gonna be focused on anytime soon. Who knows with Echo Project right now, with all the stuff going on right now…

Deleted post

Yeah, fair. I definitely understand where you’re coming from about Howly, honestly feel bad for him being addicted. But I also want to know more about the world of Adastra and Khemia, with the characters, more art from Haps and the backgrounds from BlackSun/Stranj, also more music from Anthemics! Even then, just don’t buy their Patreon, cause that’s probably where he gets most of his drug money. And the Khemia update you were saying, we just got something from the Echo Proj earlier this month about WIPs and a progress update, and even more WIPs back in October! https://www.patreon.com/EchoGame If you scroll down, right before their TSM announcement.

Also, a bit off topic, this sounds exactly like the whole debacle with FNF a few years back with one of its devs.

The drug thing isn't true lmao😭, this guy has a massive hate boner for Howly and it's making shit up.

Wtf first time I see a cheating scene on a visual novel.
Alt F4 this thing the moment I saw that shit, bruh

Agreed

pussy

Literally how 😭

(-1)

100% agreed

i cannot open the game someone please help

what platform are you on? have you tried reinstalling the game? 

Same, it says that my phone is not compatible with the game :(

(+1)

I tried installing using adb on my computer (program that helps connect the android phone with windows pc), ran some commands, and I wasn't able to as well.


For the developer, this is the error I am getting when I'm trying to install via adb:

adb: failed to install Adastra.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

I tried using the --bypass-low-target-sdk-block command on adb as this has worked with Macrodroid Helper (which I assumed has a similar error) but it didn't help. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Opened ADB bridge on my computer

2. ./adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block [file-pathway-to-adastra]

3. error as above


Hopefully this helps!

(+2)

Unfortunately the Android version hasn't been updated for years now, and it's not compatible with modern versions of Android or modern processors. But I've patched it myself, I have a working version on Discord if you want.

Well, I get that no one can stand the heretic's unreasonable comments, but surely people can accept Marco and Amicus’s own perspectives on their own ending, right?

Sorry I just... this is my last post here, I promise.

聆听外面的滴落声,风吹过你的毛发,好似一个不存在的人给你的一个拥抱,在拥抱中消失。月光下的约定,我会永远追随。

八年不过是一瞬间。

Listen to the dripping sound outside, the wind blowing through your hair, like a hug from someone who doesn't exist, and disappear in the hug.The agreement under the moonlight, I will always follow.


Eight years is just a flash..

Dude, you don't owe Amicus anything, just let yourself go please. Your acquaintance with Amicus was also nothing but a split second, but the death is infinity.

(1 edit) (+8)

Dude, stfu, leave them alone, don't be miserable.

(+1)(-8)

Sigh. Sorry, you right. I'm kinda extra.

(1 edit) (+1)

Why no update for 4 years even the sequals D:

(+1)

I'm still confused why they stopped production of adastra,interea and khemia it seems really good and popular for the community it would be ashame if they just leave it completely and never return to these projects, it's fandom really need an update like REALLY WANT and already seems like 4 years since last update :c

(+4)

Howly, the writer, got some mad writer's block and wasn't happy with the themes or direction of Khemia back in 2021. He gave it a good rest for 3 years and there's been slow progress in bringing it out of hiatus throughout this year. Haps (the artist) just posted on twitter about a week ago a confirmation that it's ready to start getting re-releases again around the end of October.

Holy shit finally 

(1 edit) (+2)

you must wait 9 years for update like the two of lovebirds in the story!:D

(+2)

Not quite sure why its giving me this problem and not letting me install it.

it's been a while since I've read it so I decided to reread it and it says it's not compatible with my phone I'm using a S21

Deleted 22 days ago

Alright yea sure I'll get the patched version 

(+4)(-12)

You don’t like it when your real-life parents decide who you can or cannot love, but you're okay with your cosmic Parents forcefully arranging a wolf bara for you?

It's not only through love that you can understand each other. As long as you open your heart, both Cassius and Neferu will understand you.

You are neither the chosen one nor a space prince, so don’t expect someone out there to arrange everything for you. Happiness is something you must achieve on your own. If you want others to understand you, start by understanding the people around you.

Amicus was just a bait. Reach both endings to make an informed opinion.

(+5)(-1)

Loved the ending, almost made me cry

(+8)(-13)

Also, since nobody else gave a warning in the comments. And the devs are just mean like that.
IF YOU DO NOT ENJOY CHEATING, CUCKING, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME

(1 edit) (+6)(-13)

Why are you being me? Im just giving proper warning so thoes who dont like things like that wont suffer the same fate as me

(2 edits) (+4)(-12)

Those crazy fans would probably say he did it all to protect Marco, but that’s nonsense. Forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean trust, and trust definitely doesn’t always mean love, and love doesn’t necessarily mean marriage.

Dude, i found you on e621, you're into feral and cub, shut the f up.

(1 edit) (-1)

Snowflake alert! 🤣

(1 edit) (+6)(-17)

Haha yea never playing this shit game again
SPOILERS BELLOW












First, the bathhouse scene just made me uncomfortable, and not in a "omg so immersive" way
I don't CARE that me and Amicus we're not official, you can't just show me a fucking cheating scene and expect me to be okay with it. Especially after making me relate to the MC that much.
Alt F4ed the frame of seeing that, and never going back 😁

(1 edit) (+3)(-6)

(The true path is only one; choice is just an illusion...)

I still suggest you finish reading it, so you’ll know where to direct your anger and what kind of entity is behind all of this.

Keep in mind that both Amicus and Marco are merely mortals.

(+2)(-2)

For god 's sake, get help! 😅

(1 edit) (+9)(-2)

I think you have bigger problems if a ""cheating"" scene in a visual novels triggers you this much.

Therapy maybe?

(-3)

I'm sorry I don't have a cucking fetish?

But you're siding wirh someone who's into cub and feral 😭(the chocobo guy, i found his ass on e621)

Damn, that sucks :/

But also I don't look into the history of everyone I interact with (I didn't even answer the choco guy, but someone else) and yeah while some of choco's views suck (the cub, etc thing), hitler also wanted to improve the economy for example. Does that mean that everyone that tries to improve it is to be set equal to hitler? (just an extreme example)

(1 edit) (-3)

The funny thing is that the "cub" art is a piece of art that was improperly tagged cub because the character looked maybe a little young, lol.

Even if, deciding that my opinion is bad because of something like that is just sad. Tells me everything I need to know about someone

Me neither, yet somehow i don't have emotional attachment issues to a fucking novel

(-2)

I don't, I haven't even played the game, I'm just not a cuck

(+7)(-2)

This Made Me So Happy And Depressed at the SAME time bro..

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah im gonna cry again!

(+5)(-1)

This needs to be a show, we need like Amazon Prime or Netflix or something. It would be a lot of work but this story needs to be seen. Congratulations on the dev's and everyone who chipped in to this piece of art. Magnificent

If i had the money and the connections I would make it happen. (Or try at least)

The android versions seems to no longer work, app fails to install because it's incompatible with newer devices

I second this, I would love to see it patched so i could play

This was the most emotional and psychiatric damage I have ever taken reading anything. How dare you write such vivid settings and characters that make you fall in love with people that DO NOT EVEN EXIST. I would wait 8 years. I would wait 80 years! If I only I had the hope of ever being pulled back into the world you MONSTERS have created just once more, through an entire arc.

But seriously. Fantastic. I truly mean it when I say this is the best work of fiction I have everread. It should have prizes in literature. And I truly am sad that the story actually came to an end. I have checked out the other two unfinished sequels, and I absolutely hope the writer can overcome the block because holy fucking shit this world, these characters... I love it more than Star Trek. And I fucking love Star Trek.

(1 edit) (+1)

better dont sh.t about star trek i fck you in the a.ss

Is that supposed to be a threat? 😅

no it s a promise... :P

He might see  it as an incentive 🤣

:)

(-12)

To the READERS who keep trying to force a romance between Amicus and Marco: how are you any different from PARENTS?
Does Marco need romance, or do you just want romance?

(-13)

How many years will it take for everyone to realize this is satire?

How great a love is one that is worth dying twice and waiting for eight years of time?

i have become way to emotionally invested in the story. I long to see the characters again but i suppose i will just have to wait for more amicus and a reunion.

(+2)

gotta wait 8 years lol 

(+4)

I'm getting very close to the end and I keep draaaaagging it out as much as I can. Little bit of dialogue and I'm done for the day. I don't want to see Marco and Amicus' inevitable separation, I'm not ready :/
