This was the first visual novel i ever saw, and im sad because i started with the best one first. Highly recommend, very interesting plot and cast of characters. I am in love with amicus.
Well, I guess this is me being 'that guy', but—keeping things vague so as to not divulge too much of the plot— it seems like whether or not you enjoy this VN hinges entirely on whether or not you like Amicus, and I'll confess, I don't really like him. Like, at all. Amongst other things, but that would get into spoiler territory. Regardless, the comments are mostly positive, so I'm glad that others enjoyed the game. I guess it just wasn't for me.
That being said, I'd love to see more about Virginia. Easily the best character in the game.
Fair enough. I like Virginia mostly because she has to deal with a lot of shit inherent in Adastran society that her brothers don't have to, and seeing how she navigates it is a very interesting story to me that sadly doesn't really get explored much. Though given this is a VN about hot bara wolf men I wouldn't really expect that subplot to get a lot of focus.
I'd probably like Cassius more if his initial reaction to Marco wasn't to immediately want him dead. I unno, he really didn't sell me enough on there being a good or understandable side to him to let me empathize with him despite his behavior.
I've more to say, but that's probably getting more into my personal hang-ups than legitimate critique of the story itself. Like I said, I'm glad other people enjoyed the game, even if it wasn't for me.
Hm, actually, no, I think I can better express what I meant there. When I say, "whether or not your enjoy this VN hinges entirely on whether or not you like Amicus," I mean that he's supposed to carry the entire story. Without him there's really no reason to care about the planet, er, moon Adastra and all the other stuff. It's a pretty place, but God damn, it is not somewhere you'd ever wanna live. I kinda wish they'd focused on that more outside of and without Amicus; that way he wouldn't have to carry so hard.
It's been 3 to 4 months since I downloaded this novel... It rly changed my life by opening the whole new world of content (especially furries). It was sincerely not the first time feeling being connected to the fictional character, but damn that was one of the most breathtaking and heartwarming :)
Tonight I was walking outside, listening to perfect imo OST to Adastra. "love" started to play and I decided to look at the sky. I saw so many bright stars... I started to fricking cry and laugh (of happiness I guess). I "saw" him there, I hope he is there. Somethere in the sky, in the space there is that Himbo wolf Amicus waiting for his Marco. Beautiful story, indeed.
Loved the story and all the characters and soundtracks, i started to tear up near the end. The soundtracks in this game are so well orchestrated and everytime you hear one it feels as though your soul is being uplifted, was definitely my aspect of the game.
Well, if I interpreted this comment right, if you remove THEM from the ending, it takes away from not only the heartbreak that is the ending, but the probability that it even happens in the first place. The whole point is that Marco was being forced, even if it was for a greater good. He would've been happy not giving a damn about earth if it meant staying with Amicus. And moving THEM removes the whole payoff of the Cato incident, and the explanation for the entire story happening in the first place.
The happiest thing is that after playing this work, I learned that the team has plans to do 2 other works related to ADASTRA, which is so exciting and looking forward to it!It also fills my life with anticipation!
This story struck me in ways I never been struck before, and honestly I don't know if I was better off before-or now after reading. I am full of both deep sadness and longing for something that obviously will never be and it makes my insides hurt because I got so attached. At the same time-I experienced a happiness I haven't felt for years and in the deep and depressive spell I been lost in for the past few years, I feel like for a few very emotional days it was completely unearthed and I forgot all about the things life has thrown at me lately. The experience had me feeling numb, but charged. I was smiling, I was laughing, and my chest was making me well to just yell out and squee like a child every time I saw that wolf. Now that things are looking like they have slown down-I am just hoping with every fiber of my being that this story is going to continue because the void it leaves right now, unfinished leaves worries in me that I would rather never go through again with other unfinished visual novels. Whatever Howly, my old friend Moe, and HAPs did here-it was chemistry. Delicate and volatile if-mishandled incorrectly energy that I wont ever forget or let the fandom forget. I legit feel glad that I was born in a timespan that this story was written-I would have missed out greatly.
I adore everything about this works, I love everything about all these characters, and I fell for this world. I feel like myself have been uplifted. Ad Astra, or as it means:
to the stars through hardships. I feel like that has been my journey all my life, and Adastra is where I touched the stars. Never again will I be so moved than how I been now <3
This one is just wow, like my heart fells amazing then torn then amazing, just being ripped to spreads then put back together with amazing love and care and I'm not even done with it yet, I love it so much but ya my heart is having a ride of a life time. Only on second incounter with the og in the mind if you know what I mean. God just love this one, but man not sure how much my heart can take hehe.
keep up the amazing work, and try to easy back on the emotional heart string pulling hehe.
Ps.i don't want to leave him he's just perfect in every way, I would just stay, don't need to go back to earth. Making me cry so dam hard man!!! I can fell my heart aking and my chest fells so tight. 😭😭😭
played this game almost a YEAR ago and still crying abt and i mean this in the best possible way like actually wtf never knew smth could hit me so fuckin hard
I read the rumors, comment and review about this game. is really Can give people sadness. I knew it, I'm not ready to take the feeling yet.
But finally I did play it to give it a try after 2 year holding back not to play this game.
When I saw Duel, and The ending. I cry twice.. dmnit! even tho I never cry to any game. WHY. This probably will mark my heart in my entire life.
Now I understand why this game Best VN game for me. and that will not change anytime soon
Thank you for making this beautiful game. and make me cry.
Hope they will together again..
no matter how long, no matter how many sequels it takes!
I agree with my whole heart the Furry Community is not just about "sex..." It is about passionate gay sex. *Clarification: specifically the majority of echo project games not the entire community. Passionate isn't even true in their games 100% of the time
I was referring to the Community in general and not just to the projects of these authors, or similars. There is too much hatred around anything, it seems that the human species constantly needs conflict to fill all its inner emptiness. Fortunately, there are people who also thinks about living their own passions in choerent silence and never break the balls to anyone.
holy fucking shit. tolkein would be proud. 10/10, some of the best writing and world-building i have ever seen in a video game. i will keep it brief, but my thoughts on this game are endless. color me impressed. made an account just to post this comment.
I've read novels, and occasionally visual novels my entire life, and this is the first story to make me cry since I was ten. And it managed to do that not once, not twice, but three separate times. Can't wait for the sequels. I know now why this VN is so highly rated. I expected porn but had my heart torn apart by these gay wolfish space romans and goddamnit I loved every second of it.
This is fully one of the best games I have ever played. This was recommended on the Dawn Chorus page, so I assumed it was a dating sim with roman emperor furries and uhhhh that was not it at all lmao. I played for 11 hours straight yesterday but it did not feel that way at all.
Interea - this is a story about the moon tour mentioned in Adastra, so after Amicus become emperor and before the MC needs to return home . It fleshes out what happened on the tour and we have had 4 chapters of this story released so far. Please note that the releases are not happening as fast as in the past, but they are coming.
Khemia - this is the next main story in the series and takes place ~2.5 years after the MC returned to Earth. This story has had 2 chapters released but the author put it on hiatus and switched to Interea. This allowed him to handle a lot of backstory and character history for Khemia. Once Interea is done (10 chapters in all I believe), the author will be coming back to Khemia.

Hello! Is there an Official Discord Server for anything from Echo Project? Thank you!
Just finished the game
It made me cry multiple times, the story, art, character's personality and other stuff are amazingly well made, I loved every bit
If you wanna start on visual novels, this is for you, it's 100% worth your time, I hope theres more Adastra in the future
Thanks for creating this masterpiece <3
I really enjoyed this, Nicely done.
I like the companion story and the sequel. I look forward to reading more of both of these, along with an ending wrap-up.
Let me know if there is any help you might need.
Na primeira vez que eu joguei o jogo no final dele eu chorei tanto que quase não terminei #Amicus
(Another Topic)
The ending had me stumped. What was going to happen next? Is there going to be a sequel? I don't know.
Cool I hope they do actually do one where Amicus and everyone has a reunion over the years.
I am so hoping for that reunion. I got so attached to the characters it would suck if we didn't get a proper ending for them.
What language are all wolves in Adastra talking? Is it Latin?
Not quite, Latin is a human "brutalization" of their language.
Kind of in the same way that Latin is to most modern languages today.
So is it, or not? I think they also mentioned Italian in a part.
So almost like a combination of the two languages?
An evolved, more modern form of Latin that resembles Italian at some point, if I recall correctly.
i don't remember it being brutalization of their language it's litterally the same one with like different dialects

excuse me echo project may I have a moment of your time
here on recommendation from Patricia Taxxon's video for the illustrated dog d*** and transcendental writing in that order
Is it just me that i can't enter my name after filling the question of the name?

Will there be a second installation where you meet the other siblings?
There are already 2 new stories:

Yeah, i just finished it and i thought theres a lot of routes.
Is this the real download
Yes, this is the official page.
