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.

I am unable to download and install the apk file, i get the message "app not installed as app isnt compatible with your phone." My phone uses Android version 14 and One UI version 1.6 (dont know if thats nessecery but ill include it anyways)
Anyone know of a fix or can yall update it to be compatible
i repackaged the game using renpy8.3, java 21 and the base game for windows. it will not have the official logo or name as i am not part of project echo. tested with poco x6 pro. to project echo: update to the latest renpy, change jre to version 21, bring your keystores into the rapt folder and repackage. should work out of the box

Just got my first ever Pc played this and was shocked. The first Visual Novel I've ever done possibly going to be the best ever. The story is written so well and is very sad and devastating. But overall I'd recommend to anyone who loves visual novels especially gay romance. This really made me cry time and time again and is hard to explain. I recommend that everyone give it a try.
This game was a rollercoaster for me, I haven't felt that many different emotions before for one thing... I found this story very sad at lots of points like the main character was never able to settle down and chill out, it was always kept on the edge of something always happening not the way you'd expect.. This experience is surely leaving an itch on my heart now...
Wanted to replay this again but on my phone but the download for the android pack doesn't install since it's not compatible with Android Version 14. TuT pls fix.
I don't even know where to begin. I started this game with a huge attitude that visual novels seemed silly or not worth my time. I ended this game emotionally hurt from crying numerous times. I have read many "real" gay romance novels; I can safely say Adastra will go down as one of the best pieces of LGBTQ romance literature ever made. I am not even a furry, but I will without question recommend this to literally anyone that is open minded to gay romance.
i just finished this, now i am sad
This is the best game that I have played in years maybe even ever. the story is amazing, the characters are very though out and amazing, the ending wrapped everything up very well. I would love to see this game become a fully animated game. I would pay top dollar for it.
please make another one that takes place after the 8 years went by. But you still play as the human
Android 14+ no longer supports 32bit applications so the developer will need to update it for it to work

Can confirm.
playing this while making meth. BEST THING EVER
Playing this is like meth you're getting a double addiction hell yeah lol
My first every visual novel I finished, not regrets loved it, I finished it years ago but I wish we could download it still now I have to watch YouTube videos on it T-T
this game has everything, 10/10
After 4 years I'm gonna read this again because kehmia (sorry if I spelt that wrong) has me so excited. Can't wait to ball my eyes out again!!!
So, has anyone thought of how Marco's family will react to not only him coming back, being the new messiah, joing the Galaxias, etc etc. The big revelation being their son is not only gay, but is engaged to an alien anthrowolf from across the galaxy. We need a sequel where they get to meet him, go to the wedding, meet the family, being royalty. Speaking of which, when they do get married, what position does that Marco in the royal family? Their can't be 2 people as emperor, and he's a dude so it wouldn't be queen, so what would he be? These 2 have been through so much together, they deserve to live the fairy tale life from now on, as much as possible. The parents said they would if he agreed to the deal. I'm praying to the God's there will be a sequel soon, we need to know, and we want to see a Wolven wedding so badly!!!!
Well, towards the end of the game they do sort of give a vision of what the future looks like for Marco and amicus.
And in that future it doesn't look like the royal family stays a thing for very long.
That's not the true future, it's just a possible one. Unfortunately it doesn't happen and they are never to see each other again.
FR like Marco being an servants/pets and got backstabbed by Alexios but his family didn't even realize he was gone? for 1 month??
yup
being gay is still the most surprising part. the rest is just a regular tuesday.
I played this game a while back and I recently played it again. I swear to God this thing is designed to break your heart. I can't believe the story ended The way that it did.
I sometimes post about this game on my Twitter (nsfw sometimes) like this: https://x.com/Defacto_tron/status/1885972854367195397
I really Really really hope that they wrap this story up in a nice bow. I know the general direction of these visual novels is more realistic and life isn't always perfect and fantastic, but I feel like the only way for me to be satisfied in my life is to know that Marco and amicus get to have one. Guys you did a great job on this is and it got me into the VN scene. I hope one day even if it's not in the form of a game, we get to have some closure on the sweetest couple ever.
And if anybody wants to discuss the game, it's politics. It's character development, etc. You can always hit me up on Twitter. I'm probably also going to have to write some fanfiction to get through this haha
Has anyome found a way to install this on a Samsung s24 Android? I try and it says not compatible.
I just finished reading Adastra and WOW what an incredible story. I have been crying my eyes out for 10/15 minutes and I am so unbelievably thankful to experience such a beautiful drama. How lucky I am to witness this amazing creation of love and heartbreak... I'm so lost for words on how I could possibly explain how this game will live with me forever. // -- // About 30 minutes I've just spent on the floor just emotionally stunned and drained barely finding the constitution to face my next adventure. The fact there's a sequel to this near masterpiece is such a daunting task. I give my full heartfelt thanks to Howly, HAPS, BlackSundi and Dylan Wunsch for their dedication to making this wonderful story.
Some feedback I hope will let Adastra reach its true peak is to look over the first hour or so leading into the story, the entire shuttle pod opening act before reaching Adastra feels like the weakest link in the story, I fear people may ditch the story before its given chance to shine due to the weak start.
I feel the art style/detail of certain rooms is a little lacklustre and could do with some spiffing up, for example, the bedroom at the very start of the game feels very bland. As well as the meditation room.
There are parts of the game that contain no audio/background music. Dead air isn't great but as far as I can remember it was only short instances when there wasn't a suitable song playing. Tho a bit more variation to what is being played would also be beneficial I feel.
The writing for the human character feels a little bit flat at stages, his simple response lacks emotion and gravity. Almost sounding bored with the situation he's in. Something that happens a lot is saying "yeah" a lot. While it may be accurate it doesn't really read very compelling. I found myself imagining that there was more life and energy in my responses than what was really being stated in some dull responses. A bit more detail and "life" would do the human good. Not so cold and robotic I suppose.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE this story. Never has a VN made me cry and feel such weight to the love story of the characters, the drama and trust/betrayal were perfect throughout. This truly is an incredible piece of work. With some refinements, I believe this could be a best seller worldwide. I hope my feedback hasn't sapped the love and admiration I want rain upon the devs. Please continue to work on these stories you can see just how brilliant and skilled all the people working on this story developed. I just think it needs to be polished near the start and a few holes plugged and it will AMAZING.
Massive gushing love to all <3
Love the game so much. read it twice so far and cried both times and its such a good story and i plan to read it again and again. Definatly a game i plan on loving for years to come

I'm glad this was my first VN I played all those years ago :
I really recommend U extracurricular activities by dwyene wolf
Five years have passed, this game is still incredibly popular.
Hm, a visual novel where one of the main villains is a fascist who wants to roll back decades of progress.
I don't see any current real-world connections here
I dont really know whats the problem , i downloaded the file and then i opened it , (the android one) and for whatever reason i cant open it to be an app , it said that its not compatibpe with my phone (i have a Realme 9 pro 5g) i dont really know whats the problem or how could i fix it , i love ADASTRA but i cant play it 😭
I have never heard of that brand in my whole life, no offense. Is it android? Should have no problems if it runs on android OS.
If I remember correctly, this game hasn't been optimized for newer versions of the Android OS. You have two options:
1. Look into "Shizuku" and an app called "Install with options". This app offers the option to install older apps on newer versions of android for which they weren't optimized (expect bugs). "Shizuku" is needed to give that app a special kind of permission needed for the operation.
2. Look up "JoiPlay". It is basically a Renpy emulator that can help you run the windows version of the game on your android phone. It's supposedly a simple method but I haven't looked into it.
Hope this helps!
I finally finished it! It took me three years, and it was quite a long and painful journey. Some of the dialogues were so lengthy and unnecessary that I found myself closing the game and taking breaks. The section about the economic system was particularly frustrating—ugh! I love furry stuff, but that... was tough. This was also the first game from the Echo Project that I ever completed. XD And definitely my last!
3 years?! WTF?! are you sure you played the right game
Yeee, definitly. It was like ffff that game is ugh but for the love of furry i need finishi... that
Por curiosidad está en español
