Adastra
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!

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!
Probably not since there isnt a reason
I just finished this part. Which part should I continue with? Can anyone tell me?L
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.
Wtf first time I see a cheating scene on a visual novel.
Alt F4 this thing the moment I saw that shit, bruh
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 :(
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!
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.
These haters really be like "Bro I heard you like this game, and I don't like it. What's more, I don't get the plot, so here's my delusions. BTW please hate the game. If you like it you'll feel my wrath of personal misunderstanding fueled rage bait!"
Bro just move on and let people have fun lmao
Me encantó este juego, de mis favoritos
Pls i need more
This game is the absolute definition of " I play it for the plot"
FACTS
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.
Dude, stfu, leave them alone, don't be miserable.
Sigh. Sorry, you right. I'm kinda extra.
Why no update for 4 years even the sequals D:
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
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
you must wait 9 years for update like the two of lovebirds in the story!:D
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
Alright yea sure I'll get the patched version
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.
"I get it!
...
I DON'T GET IT!"
The post.
Amicus was just a bait. Reach both endings to make an informed opinion.
Loved the ending, almost made me cry
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
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
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.
Snowflake alert! 🤣
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 😁
(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.
For god 's sake, get help! 😅
I think you have bigger problems if a ""cheating"" scene in a visual novels triggers you this much.
Therapy maybe?
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)
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
I don't, I haven't even played the game, I'm just not a cuck
This Made Me So Happy And Depressed at the SAME time bro..
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah im gonna cry again!
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
:3
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.
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 🤣
:)
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?
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?
Why cant i download the apk it says it isnt downloadable on my phone i have a samsung s21 fe but it says its not available as an app
pls tell me it’s still going to be continued
I think they're finished with Adastra but they're making a few spinoffs
There was supposed to be something last year but it didn't happen so idk. That's what I read.
there's a problem with downloading the game
whenever i try to open it, there's a proclaimation that it cannot open cuz SDL2.dll and python27.dll isnt there, can someone help me?
problem is that they do contain them but the program still doesnt run
its been 5 years daddy💀
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.
gotta wait 8 years lol
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 :/
Ok so I did it. I read it. I get it now. I don't just get it, but I also cried like a baby. I think I'm going to need some time to recover, but it was so worth it. This stuff is high quality.
AHAHA REALL
Can we have a new version update for android? version 17 is too old and incompatible with Android 14 and up
I made a comment a while back on how to fix that issue: Post by Marvin in Adastra comments - itch.io. Maybe try that, or if that doesn't work, I also have a recompiled version for modern Android that I could share.
Any chance to fix it without PC? I'm on android and don't have access to a PC
Check above if you want the link
Hey there,
I've recompiled the project here and works on my ARMv8 running on Android 15 beta. It's a link to a Google Drive. Hope that helps.
It says "17" is it still updating?
I tried to download the VN again and my phone said it was an outdated version. I'm currently using Android 17. Any way of getting around this so I can experience the wolf emperor again?
If you don't want it anymore throw it away and tell me where.
I think you read what he said wrong.
dude, check his comments in the TSR page, he's boot licking georgesquares and saying that he unsubbed from Echo Project and that Echo Project sucks now and that they shot themselves in the foot for firing george, i won't say any more cuz i don't want to bring that shit show here.
why is this so heart wrenching i love it I LOVE THIS VN FOREVER WOHOOO
I'm replaying it again right now and I just got to the point that made me think "Ahh Adastra. Where you can contact a higher power by getting high on space weed."
In the gallery, there is one column left after 'the end' one, what is it exactly though?
Please bring a sequel soon, I can't wait any longer, this ending destroys me😩😩😩
Lol what if part 2 is just them on earth like the story is real would you welcome are new wolf emperor? I would
I really wanted to plat this game. So many of my friends have said it's good, I saw different videos say it was good, but at no point did anyone think it was important to say you have to play as and be refered to as a man... I'm sorry, I'm sure it's absolute gas, but I can't do 12 hours of being misgendered...
It says it is a gay novel lol
This a gay novel for gay men???
no it s about zoophilia when gay fck with wolf :)
this isnt zoophilia, wth
i just be ironic!
I totally get not wanting to be misgendered but the novel clearly advertised itself as gay romance, tho the novel comes with a default name for the MC if you don't want to type in your own, when it asks you your name you just don't type anything and press enter.
It's a m/m romance. You can play the role, or miss the chance, your choice...
It literally says gay in the tags...
I'm a woman and I loved this VN. Just either insert a faceless, male OC and read it from the third person or just mentally swap out the pronouns as you read along, get past the seggs scenes and headcannon whatever you need to in your head as you read if you wanna do it in first person.
post adastra depression hitting me hard as fuck bro
SAME BRO
literally so rea
Im replaying it every ear(my second time playing it), I'm dying when I'm rereading it, but I'm dying faster when I don't read it
PLEASE HELP ME
