You know, the other day I was listening to the radio while driving. They were airing a recently published song "Ora e Per Sempre" by Raf, an italian singer, and after a bit I found myself wondering: "Why am I reminded of Amicus so much?".
Long story short, I like to imagine either him or MC sings it to the other (I can't decide which of them tho) decades after the end of the story,
SPOILER
possibly after Amicus abolished the Empire or some other event like that (if what the Parents showed ends up becoming true).
A very good game and story, it made me cry at several points, especially the ending. I feel like nostalgia will come over me if I play it again. All the hard work of everyone who made the game possible was worth it, and I hope it continues to bring emotions like this to those who play it in the future. I love you Amicus, always in my heart. and thank you, Echo Project.
For anyone on iphone that can't download n play Adastra, i made a web adaptation so you can enjoy the story too. https://leonthefvn.github.io/Web-Adastra/ (And yes, saves are stored in your browser between sessions. I took the .rpy files of Adastra and used the re'npy vn maker to convert them to html n JavaScript, then some tweaking with the index file so saves stay between sessions.) It can be irritating with the search bar and such in the way, but if you go into safari and play there you can actually hide away the search bar.
Made this cuz i loved to play Adastra so much and i think everyone should be able to, no matter their platform. Works on just about any device with internet since you play online, meaning no download necessary.
This is my little contribute to the amazing devs of this game, so a little something for the fans who loved it just as much as i, and this is also for those who haven't been able to play it due to complications with downloads on iphone n android and such
I suggest replacing the web-presplash.jpg with this updated version I created using the assets from the repository. I believe it would significantly enhance the visual appearance.
I shall then! This fan project has been about making the visual novel accessible to more people, since this will be a change with the ren'py engine and not actual game i suppose i can do it. However, keep in mind that if at any point the devs want the project taken down then i won't object, since it is their game after all. So hopefully the project doesn't become an issue for them later on due to growing traffic.
But i thank you for the contribution to the project and will update it shortly with your addition. :3
I get it — it’s their game, and they can do whatever they want. I just thought the default Ren’Py loading screen wasn’t the prettiest, so I whipped up a quick graphic to jazz it up a bit. Hope it makes this already awesome game look even better! Thanks for using it — the folks who do use the repo should get a little extra vibe from the game’s amazing essence.
It's working almost like you describe, thanks! I only need to download another additional Ren'py plugin to be able to play it which is already in your link.
I'm curious why am i getting down voted when i was trying to help people in sted of them just leaving a comment saying they don't like it or it doesn't work.
I tried More than once but for some reason the verify that you are human didn't work so i had to make many posts it was only on the edit button that i did have the problem.
Also it was my first time posting i saw that there was a problem with people not being able to read it so i tried to provided a fix for it i had the same problem.
Download joyplay emulator true through their website and then download adastra the windows zip file and run it through joy play then jou should be able two run it on Android old and new.
Most issues installing on Android are due to google now limiting the ability to sideload apps. Pretty sure its like iOS now where you have to sign the package as a dev before installing.
i’m pretty sure the actual reason is because of adastra’s android build being 32 bit only, which prevents devices on android 14 or newer (i think? it may have been earlier) from installing it
Hey, I'm having issues trying to install this on my android phone, i have the Samsung note 25 ultra, but i can't instal the APK files, i never had any issues installing fvn before, can someone help me please?hav
I'm pretty sure Adastra is completed, like entirely done. we're currently waiting on the sequel where the human MC and Amicus reunite. but before we can get that I think Echo plans to finish the other Sequel currently going on called Khemia that takes place after the Human MC left and Amicus became Emperor.
Yesterday I decided to start playing this super popular game. Everything was great and I got hooked on the story. Before progressing further, I decided to start playing it on Android. But I got an error saying that my tablet isn't compatible.
I've tried several things, but in the end, I get an error indicating that it's not compatible with my tablet's architecture. Could you please update it? My tablet is a Redmi Pad 2 Pro with HyperOS version 3.0.3.0
Same problem here... I want to install it in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with Android 14 and it says it isn't compatible with it.
What I do is download the Windows version and RenPy engine, then you can simply open the game with the engine and recompile it for your Android version. It does the trick until a new compatible version is released.
I have replayed this amazing game multiple times and I still have strong memories from years ago when I first played it. Across every playthrough the scene that has always affected me the most is the Nefuru and Amicus bed scene basically the first sex scene. Years later I have realized why it still hits me so hard every time I reread this VN. We are given explanations that make logical sense. Amicus did not sleep with Nefuru because he wanted to betray Marco but because he wanted to secure a political deal. It is also emphasized that in this culture sex is treated as something far less romantic and more primal. Amicus did feel sexual attraction but not in a way that was meant to be cheating. It is also pointed out that Marco and Amicus were not officially together so expecting celibacy would be unfair. However the story explains that one of the main reasons it hurts Marco so deeply is that Amicus never consulted him. Amicus makes decisions that affect Marco without ever asking for his input. He acts in ways that suggest he sees Marco as lesser or at least not as an equal partner. I think the real reason the scene hurts so much though is because there is no foundation of trust between Marco and Amicus. From the start Marco is kidnapped and brought to Adastra against his will which makes it hard to trust Amicus at all. Amicus repeatedly makes mistakes and contradicts himself. He claims he found no enjoyment in the encounter yet earlier scenes like the bathroom scene and his comments about having needs suggest he is not being fully honest. Because of this it becomes difficult to believe anything he says or claims to feel. Without trust how is Marco supposed to believe that Amicus truly loves him, or that sex with Nefuru was purely transactional? Why should we as the reader trust that what their saying is genuine rather than some convenient justification for sleeping with someone else? This is not meant as a jab to the authors or the VN itself. It is simply a reflection on why the moment is so painful. Marco was finally beginning to trust Amicus and they were on the verge of a confession. That small amount of trust was shattered. I still believe that everything works out well in the end and I do not blame Marco’s intense reaction at all. It is hard to believe someone when you never truly had trust in them to begin with. Still love this vn and hope that khemia lives up to it
This is really good, Coming from someone who generally dislikes Visual Novels too <:)
The Art, Writing (Especially characters wise), Audio and pacing is pretty good. My only real issue lies with the Player Character being more on the dumber side, But this is just an issue that my nerd ass tends to have with Visual Novels in general, The points of emotion in the PC's writing that were meant to have impact still did so.
Pretty shocked to see that this is what? 7 or so years old now? Most early and pre-2020 furry content tends to be rather mediocre by today's standards.
Also got a chuckle out of me when I realized that the Parents appear pretty similarly to the GMan in some ways when interacting with people.
Just finished the game. I really did enjoy the story and characters. I really hope that they continue the story with Amicus and the main character. Just love the story and characters.
Idl about you guys but i have a phone with One UI 8 (Android 16) and it lets me play the game normally, my tablet has android 16 too and it works aswell.
Forget about it, i can't install it on my phone but for some reason in my tablet works, idk if it's an older version, weird because in "about" says "verion 17.0"
i had to download joiplay and download it to my android phone.it was a bit of a lengthy progress figuring it out but if I could figure it out then im sure the app name joiplay is enough for anyone to get a huge headstart on getting it on other devices
For some reason I can't download this game, maybe because I have android 15 and that's why I can't download it. Please, someone wanna help me with anything that works for me to download adastra?
Hey uh so I manage to download it on android by using joiplay and a renpai plugin, u can get them on joiplay official website. I also downloaded the windows version of adastra bc joiplay allows u to play pc games on android. It worked for me though
You have to download the APKs for joiplay and the renpai plugin (both are on the joiplay website), then download the windows zip file instead of the APK on this page, unzip the file, then in the joiplay app find the unzipped 'adastra-17-win' file, find the .exe file in that folder and select it. Then just follow the prompts on the joiplay app and you'll have the game.
I have never felt more emotions in my life from a fictional native than this one. All of them contradictory. All of them to the max extreme. And none of them lightly. I remember crying buckets along the cold stone floor of the basement at 1am in the morning, erect, cold, covered in goosebumps, visibly shaking, and ready to vomit. I always thought that adult-in-nature natives like these, shoved random sex scenes in places where they didn't fit. But adastra hit differently. It had scenes with naked penises on screen, yet all I could think about where the emotions and characters. I am proud to be a patron supporter for this vn. And eight years really is too much.
issa good game but man its real long, ~15ish hours? post adastra syndrome is real too, ill get crazy nostalgia opening up this game and listening to the title screen.
the game is good, the art is really good, the background art is decent. amicus is a bit of a goofball and pretty likeable but if you're in this for him, just know that the game is like 10% goon 90% game. there is some, but its not the main priority. the main goal is to get you back on earth, and that you're wrapped up in all this political stuff and all these character's goals conflicting with each other. it'll all feel really chaotic and stressful, but there's times of peace that feel nice knowing that you have characters who are here to help (neferu, the goat)
ill give the game an 8/10, its a classic furry vn and is pretty well respected in the community. it might not be the easiest to start with because of its length, but it is a must read. i do wish we had an amicus shower scene tho
This had no right to be this good of a story. And that third act...that was agony, true and brutal agony, but nothing had made me cry so hard than the last half hour. Damn you, Echo! You have wrecked me and now I need to be in the arms of my husband for a week!
@Echo Project I might have an addiction to this game and all your games. Keep up the amazing work, love the game. Something changed in me when i finished it. I felt it. I was listening to music well playing and now this one song reminds me of the game.

I hope we'll see the MC and Amicus reunite in other vn, at least in the form of a mention.
For anyone on iphone that can't download n play Adastra, i made a web adaptation so you can enjoy the story too.

DUDE I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE YOU SOME MUCH
FAN-TASTIC game, damn, perfect character development, a good run time and amazing story 9.9/10. ik theres a sequel but damn this is just peak novel
I will be happy to help find odere solutions if something is wrong.
It's working almost like you describe, thanks! I only need to download another additional Ren'py plugin to be able to play it which is already in your link.
I'm curious why am i getting down voted when i was trying to help people in sted of them just leaving a comment saying they don't like it or it doesn't work.
to be fair: posting a link out of context is a good way to get people to think you’re about to give them a virus, lol
I did try to add it two my posts but it didn't work i got a error.

Sorry if this explanation sounds a bit heated.
Also i had to go to the website to get the link i also didn't want two rewrite everything didn't have a lot of time.
Ps im on mobile.

THANK YOU I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR AGES TO RUN IT AND I NOW FINALLY CAN THANK YOUUUU
is there any way I can download this on Android w/ out it having the weird error thingy?
Most issues installing on Android are due to google now limiting the ability to sideload apps. Pretty sure its like iOS now where you have to sign the package as a dev before installing.
i’m pretty sure the actual reason is because of adastra’s android build being 32 bit only, which prevents devices on android 14 or newer (i think? it may have been earlier) from installing it
Sadly adastra can’t be run on recent phone
Noticed something, that glory hounds is the only thing getting updates on? Is adastra abandoned? (I really hope not..,)
I'm pretty sure Adastra is completed, like entirely done. we're currently waiting on the sequel where the human MC and Amicus reunite. but before we can get that I think Echo plans to finish the other Sequel currently going on called Khemia that takes place after the Human MC left and Amicus became Emperor.
adastra is complete, there is a sequel vn called khemai that gets updated/expanded and also a visual novel called interea wich is on hiatus

I literally just created this account to comment on this. I have never felt so many emotions with something before, I even made a tweet about it https://x.com/Pratticas/status/2016256113835180406?s=20
I'm still feeling the emotions from it even hours after finishing it.
I'll always come back for more amicus
Im kinda sad rn i can’t download adastra at all. Does anyone know how i could fix this?
I must truly say it was not what I expected! So much story and emotion I simply loved it! I cannot wait to se what stories they com up with next.

Can You Update the game for Galaxy S25 Ultra Pls? I really want to play it again......
When you want to download game like adastra or etc..
I recommend you to get redmi 11 5G because it still supported devices
(Maximum Redmi 11 5G can only download 2019-2023 vn)
For some reason I can't download this game, maybe because I have android 15 and that's why I can't download it. Please, someone wanna help me with anything that works for me to download adastra?

heavy on this
Is there weight gain
i really hope
No, but I wish.
Technically there is 1 (one) line about weight gain
Add Amicus to tribal hunters
Im reading/playing this again after 5 years done playing this whilst crying at the happy ending. Ive miss this alot
This had no right to be this good of a story. And that third act...that was agony, true and brutal agony, but nothing had made me cry so hard than the last half hour. Damn you, Echo! You have wrecked me and now I need to be in the arms of my husband for a week!
Amicus will forever have my heart <3 I adore that silly stupid backwards-thinking mutt so much and I can't properly talk about him to anyone I know
@Echo Project I might have an addiction to this game and all your games. Keep up the amazing work, love the game. Something changed in me when i finished it. I felt it. I was listening to music well playing and now this one song reminds me of the game.
Now I am trying to play all your other games.
5 years 4 months...
Tried re-downloading it on my new phone but the download isn't letting me install the app
Their APK build is really old, and not supported on newer phones. I have a patched working version available on Discord, if you're interested.
I will wait for them to update it
I'm pretty sure it won't be updated anymore. The last update was the final release six years ago.
definitely not update, but maybe a "new story" after 8 years...
Well I guess add zaynedemop on discord and send me the download, just not right now maybe 2 hours from now or 24 hours from now
hello um, i was wondering if you could allow me to join the server to download the game
Sure, just apply, someone will let you in.
I've been trying to download it several times in my redmi 11 (2022 ofc) yet it says still not supported devices
Esto ya tiene final? Ay algo más? O que?
