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.
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.
I tried to download the VN again and my phone said it was an outdated version.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?
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.
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."
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...
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.
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.
For some reason, when I try to install this on my S22 it says the app isn't compatible with my phone. It works on my Motorola though, so only think lost is the graphics.
Хай, если ты про Адастру, то она уже закончена, но есть и (непрямые) продолжения: Интерия (про Марко и Амикуса ещё на Адастре до расставания) и Кхемия (про Неферу и Скипио), но обе новеллы не закончены если что.
A question for the creators of Adastra. Will we be getting a Version 1.01, like they did with Echo? That was well received. It included some canon stories in the hidden section as well as, "Benefiits" which was released separately.
Alexios may be nasty, but he does have high agreeableness, he is polite, socially adaptive and he almost exclusivally expresses hostility through passive-agression, as for Cato he is a disagreeable, but he is also Thinking type, i don't bother specifiying when Thinking types have low agreeableness because that's what's expected thanks to the likes of 16Personalities
correct, but thanks in part to general stereotypes in the Jungian Typology community, and partly due to 16Personalities mixing MBTI with the Big 5, Feeling is often conflated with the trait Agreeableness, as a result, agreeable Thinkers like Alexios often get mistyped as Feelers while disagreeable Feelers like Cassius, often get mistyped as Thinkers (I mean in PDB they are typed as ISFJ and ESTJ respectively)
so I feel the need to specify when either is the case because I don't want to deal with repeated shallow arguments that boil down to "this character is too mean to be a Feeler/nice to be a Thinker"
and fyi, I'm a Thinker too, ISTJ with developed Ne
Okay, at this point i realise that there is an issue with the mobile version. I understand that it takes a lot of time to deal with it, so i wont be making a fuss about it. Works just fine on PC/laptop, though i cant say the same about MacOS, since i dont own one. Try it people; be patient with the fixing of the mobile version and just try your best to understand the situation from the creator's perspective. They dont need to be pushed into a corner and feel pressured. I'm sure they are working very hard on it, so lets remain calm and be patient.
i have exactly the same problem even to this day. i tried to download it earlier this month, but the issue apperantly is still remaining :'( i will try to download it on my laptop to see if there are any issues on the other platforms and reply again
EDIT (23rd of August 2024): Okay, it works on Windows just as good as it was on mobile. If you have PC or laptop, try it.
i found a solution and you need install JoiPlay with Plugin Rpg Maker and Plugin RenPy to work this VN and others from the same problem, but obviously you must download the PC version about this VN to play
I developed a head-canon about Adastra. The events are real and already happened and "Marco" got back to Earth right around March 2020. So the Coronavirus pandemic was actually caused by Avia Pox. Totally not true yet also makes sense.
Anyone know of any ways to force the new version of Adastra to install onto my phone? Keeps telling me it isn't compatible with my phone and I really wanna see the new content :<
The method I know how to force apps to ignore outdated SDK on Android is to install Android Platform tools and write "adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block app.apk" in your Terminal on the PC, alternatively you could try using adb in Termux, but I am not sure how to set that up. Edit; Alternatively you could try to run the Windows version of the game via JoiPlay and a RenPy plugin from the Creator's Patreon page, the game is a VN and probably should work fine, that would ignore the whole process of using Terminal commands and bypassing SDK
I encountered this issue, too. The short answer is that the version of the game engine Adastra uses is old enough (circa 2018) that recent versions of Android and Android devices don't support the files it builds.
The long answer is that recent versions of Android require developers to target new versions of the Android SDK for security permissions purposes. Also, recent Android devices are 64-bit using the ARM v8 instruction set. I think the Adastra 17 APK targets an SDK for Android 5 or 6 and is building for 32-bit ARM v7.
I had to use the Windows zip version of Adastra with Ren'Py's 8.2 SDK to recompile the code and build a new Android APK targeting a much newer version of the Android SDK. I have no idea if it's 100% compatible where it's moving from RenPy 6.99 to 8.2.1 and thus Python from 2 to 3, but playing through the recompiled APK, I didn't encounter any crashes or significant jank, so it seemed reasonable enough as a stopgap.
i fuckign love everysingle thing in this game and i wish everyone else could play it iu love it i just finished it i was almost in tears at that fuckgis ending i will pay my entire life savings for the chance of knowing a sequel is coming out but no pressure to yall but also that would be heaven on earth and i want to see amicus again ands also thank you and i love you and please enjoy yourselcews. i love you
Its great and there is no denying that, but I don't like how things turn perfect, that when you die you lose yourself and a choice you made like 30 mins ago is now IMMENSLEY important to what route you are going down. for me I chose to not sacrifice myself at the archive and now I'm not getting a good ending, I love this game but its, again the fact that 1-choices from LONG ago MAJORLY affect the story, 2-everything would be planned out when throughout the whole game when there was no message of that aside from a couple mentions and, 3-while you will forever be with your wolf, your sense of self gets lost and you are not yourself, so are YOU with AMICUS or are you just both the parent now?
Adastra was my first FVN. I played this game in 2020. I remember the scene where Amicus was fighting in the arena and I was playing it before evening study. I cried my eyes out in the corner of the class. One game that has stuck with me to this day, and I really hope to see the follow-up of Amicus and humanity. May their love be together forever across the universe, across the end of time.

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

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
Would love to try but when i download the game on my samsung galaxy A14 it just says it's not compatible:/
use virtual master
Amazing VN i liked so much the history and characters.
;-; atleast make them together somehow, I dont want them to be like this!!!
can you add weight gain to the main character
For some reason, when I try to install this on my S22 it says the app isn't compatible with my phone. It works on my Motorola though, so only think lost is the graphics.
this is good, but i do want a sequel to this
i dont usually cry but wow...
Ребята, подскажите пожалуйста, будет ли продолжение??
Хай, если ты про Адастру, то она уже закончена, но есть и (непрямые) продолжения: Интерия (про Марко и Амикуса ещё на Адастре до расставания) и Кхемия (про Неферу и Скипио), но обе новеллы не закончены если что.
truly one of the best visual novels I’ve ever read. Great job.
A question for the creators of Adastra.

Marco: disagreeable INFP with developed Si
Amicus: ESFP with developed Te
Neferu: disagreeable ESFP with developed Fi
Virginia: ENTJ with developed Ni
Cassius: disagreeable ESFJ with developed Si
Alexios: agreeable ISTP
Cato: ISTJ with developed Te
What does any of this mean
https://www.personality-database.com/
I like your funny words magic man
Thanks
Alexios agreeable, and Cato not disagreeable? Wow!
Alexios may be nasty, but he does have high agreeableness, he is polite, socially adaptive and he almost exclusivally expresses hostility through passive-agression, as for Cato he is a disagreeable, but he is also Thinking type, i don't bother specifiying when Thinking types have low agreeableness because that's what's expected thanks to the likes of 16Personalities
I'm Thinking type too, that doesn't make me an asshole. I'm INTP

you can check the guide correctly from this link: https://itch.io/t/3569182/play-on-android-with-joiplay
this turned me into a furry, i'm suing for one bajillion dollars

I developed a head-canon about Adastra. The events are real and already happened and "Marco" got back to Earth right around March 2020. So the Coronavirus pandemic was actually caused by Avia Pox. Totally not true yet also makes sense.
Hi,I decided to give it a go the version of phone but it seems it dosent have sound at all.
Starts a bit of the music when you first play but pass a few time it dosent sound anymore
is there a discord server made by them?
Believe it or not
it works on a Amazon TV
LOL
It runs on a heavily modified android os so it runs apk's :3
LMFAO
How do you even get that on an amazon tv lol
a file transfer app on the TV
So I sent adastra to the tv
Anyone know of any ways to force the new version of Adastra to install onto my phone? Keeps telling me it isn't compatible with my phone and I really wanna see the new content :<

Just here to help ^^
You could use the pc version. It will run on literally any computer.

Why I can't download it my phone it keeps saying not suitable

my review on this great game [spoilers slightly]
Its great and there is no denying that, but I don't like how things turn perfect, that when you die you lose yourself and a choice you made like 30 mins ago is now IMMENSLEY important to what route you are going down. for me I chose to not sacrifice myself at the archive and now I'm not getting a good ending, I love this game but its, again the fact that 1-choices from LONG ago MAJORLY affect the story, 2-everything would be planned out when throughout the whole game when there was no message of that aside from a couple mentions and, 3-while you will forever be with your wolf, your sense of self gets lost and you are not yourself, so are YOU with AMICUS or are you just both the parent now?
My friend says its "Ok umm meow ok"
Adastra was my first FVN. I played this game in 2020. I remember the scene where Amicus was fighting in the arena and I was playing it before evening study. I cried my eyes out in the corner of the class. One game that has stuck with me to this day, and I really hope to see the follow-up of Amicus and humanity.
