I guess I'll write this as sort of a pan-ultimate review/critique. You absolutely do not need to read this or take any amount of it as serious if you don't want to!
For such a extra-terrestrial story, it actually starts off very believable and sticks with both its themes and its background. I couldn't think of any glaring plotholes or situations the MC could easily weasel out of (with the exception of just outright leaving the palace for good). A gripe I've seen on this page quite a bit is how the MC is a bit grating at times and while I can agree with this, to a certain extent you have to take it in stride as he is brought to an alien world against his world. In fact, I believe this story is a very good version of what would happen in real life.
Mechanically, the VN does play well with the exception of updates screwing any manual saves (but not quick saves for some reason?) and the fast forward option is fairly consistent if not just a bit on the slow side.
I am a big fan of CG's and my only point for this VN in particular is I simply wish there were a few more romantic ones, but alas that isn't a very big issue.
All in all, actually a really well made VN. I didn't feel cheated or like this story just dodged a plot hole or didn't address something. However I would agree with the below comment of putting some sort of major emotional warning as there are certain scenes that did in fact make my blood boil, which I hope was the point.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to update 16: Crying my eyes out!
This turned into a wall of text (sorry!) I'll post a TLDR at the end.
This game should come with a warning. It's very good. I played for about 8 hours barely stopping until had to stop because I was having an anxiety attack both from how intense the game was getting but also because of how little I'd taken care of my self. I came back to it the next day fresh and determined to make it to the end.
What an experience. I was enjoying the game immediately but was only taking it half seriously, The main character would react and I joked to myself about the dirty thing I would have said instead or the like but the game took itself seriously from the start. It takes time to set up the relationship between the MC and Amicus and gradually just as the story progressed Ilike the MC grew deep feelings for the characters in this game. It tugged my heartstrings and evoked genuine feelings of joy, despair, fulfillment and agony. It was emotional roller coaster and I was hanging on for dear life.
The art and sound were really well done. I loved the art of Amicus. He has plenty of varied expressions to help set the scene, though all characters did to be fair and there are occasional full scene artworks that are stunning.
There a few sci-fi tropes sure but they don't detract from experience and world building the game sets up. There was only one twist that came out of the blue, that felt like it only existed to create forced drama and it does serve to progress the plot well and does get explained fairly satisfactorily but at the time it was a little jarring. I did feel mostly the same way as the MC did, hurt and betrayed but I was also aware of how forced the whole situation was, so I guess part of the hurt was that the developers had stooped to that level for an emotional reaction. This is only a minor nitpick though as the whole experience was just incredible, I've read compelling VNs before but this one just steals the show.
I guess it's only to be expected, I really enjoyed Blackgate back in the day and this is from the team that formed to take on the side project to Blackgate, Echo. There's a reason why blackgate has lost momentum and basically died yet this game has far surpassed it. I haven't even tried Echo since some of the earliest builds but after playing this I will have to, though not for a while, I need time to process and sort out my head after this game.
If you are on this page looking at this game then just simply download it and play it. It's free, you would only be doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a go.
TLDR - It's an amazing, emotional game and you really should play it.
I know we're about to get the ending but I just wanna ask one thing that will probably make people angry. sooooooooo... is Amicus and Marco (MC) relationship considered Stockholm Syndrome...
Well, Stockholm Syndrome is mostly a pop-culture myth and not an actually recognized mental thing, but even then no, since Stockholm Syndrome is developed as a survival method to appease the captor, and Amicus is ironically the least threatening person the MC encounters.
Truly emotional, it was a roller coaster for me. I cried, I laugh, and was angry. I really love this game, as if I was there with Amicus. Thank you! I love it so much!
if theres one part i didnt like about the novel, it was the parents shared vision with MC in build 15. It felt like we were given too much information and was spoiled of what seems to be the happy ending, like how we skip to the end of a book, or an author pasting an important scene at the very beginning of a book. It kinda ruined the mood and dampened my experience, despite how uplifting it was. i prefer being in the dark of what might happen to the upcoming future of MC and amicus. and yes, there were also future visions happening prior to the latest vision, but it made more sense back then given i didnt see much and was given a choice every now and then.
overall, i really liked this game. despite a few flaws, i wish to see it fully developed and finished. my only regret is that i read this novel before it was fully complete. i was abruptly left in a cliffhanger with alex, because i was so invested in the plot that the sudden "to be concluded" text left me speechless for 8 minutes. otherwise, i enjoyed this novel very much.
Well my guess is ether what the parents showed the mc was a lie, just something to convince him to follow through with his mission. Which we might find out in the next VN assuming the MC will be in it at all. Or maybe the developers just wanted to wrap things up because they don't plan on making a sequel to the MC's and Amicus story. Which if that is the case then that's going to be a huge, beyond huge, let down. Writing off the MC's story is a mistake imo. There is so much we can learn and experience from the MC's mission on earth. So much even that its worth a VN of its own. I personally would love to see how earth leaders and its population will react to the knowledge of space anthros, And by the looks of it some of earths leaders might have already known from what the end of the VN showed us. I also want to see MC reunite with his family and friends. The MC has mentioned a few times that he needed to return to earth to tell them that he's ok and if we don't see him telling them this then that's a going to be a real shame. Honestly if they do decided to not make a VN of his mission on earth then at the very least I hope they consider making a comic or story, preferably a long one, of his 8 years spent on earth.
I honestly dont think the parents SHOULD lie to MC. To me, that would be the most catastrophic ending that i have ever read EVER. That would completely ruin the flow of the novel and could potentially ruin the sequel as well. If the parents were lying, this would not bode well for all other characters involved henceforth and prior.
I mean, build 16 is out, but I have no money, so what can i do except wait?
I do agree with the long comic about the MC's 8 year adventure on earth, but that would take ages to finish. It would also make me feel even worse about the whole ordeal since its 8 YEARS WITHOUT AMICUS. Im totally fine with the story progressing from where it is now, to a new characters perspective, although i really want to see more amicus x MC. Its still a great read, though i wish the ending is noteworthy, and the sequel living up to its name.
I also agree a VN or comic/story would be saddening without Amicus in it, however they did mention something about possibly meeting up in dreams. Maybe thats how we can see interactions between them in a earth only VN. Also I don't recall reading anything about no Wolf people or other alien life not being able to visit earth during the duration of his 8 years there. Maybe ambassadors can visit earth. I want to see earths reaction to the knowlage of alien life I also want to see the MC's family reunite with him. And if aliens show up on earth we can be introduced to other cultures and new charters. Even see the aleans reaction to human culture and how we treat each other in both the good and bad ways. I just think it will be a big mistake not to give us something on the MC mission on earth. I honestly think there would be enough content there to justify a VN of its own. And I'm sure it would take time to do just like Adastra but I know it would be worth the wait. If I had the ability too I would fund such a VN but sadly I am a poor man... *cries*
I just hope they don't turn away from the possibility of making such a VN/comic/story.
This is why I wish the developers would do a Q&A so we can ask these question and maybe even give them Ideas.
Did anyone else choose not to submit to the benevolent will of the parents when you had that premonition in the archives? Because shit man that ending tho. It had me in tears, but I have to say...it was right for me. Also did anyone else get Meera's ending on build 15? The first time I went threw I got the normal one, but when I went back, it was different and I saw Meera. I mean I am not complaining though because if I were to have it any way, I'd choose not to go through the parents and "not" see the future. Plus it kinda felt they were threatening you in build 14 so I said no to them because for some reason I felt it better despite what they were insinuating... and I was right. Sadly 😔
Well, I don't know if it was only because of that, since I think it was a mix of all my answers, but when I didn't decide to help them, what happened was that I was left to die. Instead of getting the moment where Amicus saves me, my conciousness just slowly faded away as the parents told me that they would try again in other generation, with other human. Even though, my answers were "Oblivion", "Talk with Neferu", "I'm not sure" (since Amicus at that moment looked like he had good intentions, but seemed like he was not ready to rule a kingdom) and "No, i will not submit", so maybe I just chose all the wrong answers
Some say that there's other where you talk with meera, but I wasn't able to get that one, so, I don't know what you need to get there or what you talk about, so I take that with a grain of salt
Howly has said on Twitter or the Patreon that there are two paths for the ending. He's released build 16 to patrons already BUT says that build 17 should round everything off (as in it'll the final build).
Path B is taking some time according to Howly to get right.
There's a 17th build? I'm not sure if I'm happy because the story isn't over yet, or sad because when I end build 16 I'm gonna have to wait another month to get to see the ending, and I'm already having trouble waiting for the 16th build, even though I ended the story til the to be continued point just a few says ago.
I know right, it's sooo god-damned bitter-sweet. Hopefully the ending is still satisfying. I've finished Build 16 and honestly I'm content with the ending.
I genuinely like adastra. There were some problems I didnt enjoy, but overall it was a great experience considering the fact that this is my first visual novel. I hope the next two build will be released soon, and that there is a lot of story to enjoy despite how close we are to the end (maybe a sequel, but i have doubts)
I also hope the developer doesnt stress themselves out. I can wait, but adastra really messed up my sense of time, especially in the last few sequences (avoiding spoilers). All I can say is, this novel is "god-damned bitter-sweet" :)
Thank you! It worked! If I could give you a hug without ending up on r/creepyasterisks, I would! Seriously though, thanks for the help! Have a good day and ECT. And stay safe during these trying times! :)
Is the ending at this version really the ending of the story? Or just a cliffhanger? Because I don't know if maybe the choices I made caused me to get a bad ending. Does someone know about it? I would be grateful to know.
Well, today they tweeted about the new build which patrons can already experience. The build was called "Farewell", so, that sounds like a last chapter, but who knows, maybe they do an extra build to tie all the things up and see their reunion, or maybe they even do a sequel, since the universe here is quite an interesting one and would be nice to see more of it, but that's more my hopes for it, since I love this guys and want to see them again. And also, I feel like I'm gonna feel horrible at the farewell, like, I'm gonna miss them all, Amicus, Neferu, Virginia, heck, even Alex and Cassius.
Ok, I think I realized after back tracking that somehow I got the bad ending because of my distrust for the parents. Even though, after I continued with the story, I think i stumbled upon a glitch of some kind
There are two Amicus! And don't get me wrong, I love Amicus, but this is just too much. Also, this continues during all the scene. I hope there's some way of fixing it easily. Also, damn it Neferu! You chose the worst day for that.
Edit: I forgot to say that this happened to me on the windows version, so I'm not sure if it will happen in other ones, like android, linux or mac
I wanted to say, I really love this visual novel to my heart. Thank you guys for making this a beautiful VN, I appreciate it. I'll try to support you guys as much as I can. Thank you.
Not totally sure (as I havent searched for it myself), however you can access the soundtrack through the game files and find each song and their name. Perhaps that's a good place to start in finding the soundtrack?
Hey, so I downloaded the game a few days ago and finished everything there was for me in the game, but I'm confused as to whether or not I actually have all the story there is for the game in my version.
I downloaded the recent version (Adastra-15-win.zip) and I played through everything there was. Was the story updated for every single build, or were some of them used just to fix bugs in the game?
Okay, good to know. Do you know how I can possibly get to the most recent part of the game, or should I just wait until the next update to play the next content?
Im having issues downloading adastra 15 on my Android... It shows I've installed it, but as I go to create the app to play it, it just says it's not installed... I uninstalled 14 to see if that helped, but no... Could someone tell me what to do please? Thank you!
Ive seen picutes of this around but never knew quite what it was. I didnt know this was a thing so i downloaded this with 2 others to try. I tried extracurricular activities and found myself surprised with how much i liked it.....and then i tried this one. I LOVE IT....and amicus hah! Looking forward to the ending....but also not wanting it to end! I liked it so much im hesitant to even bother trying any others! I probably will though since this has gotten me to like something new to me. Thanks for this it was something I think I needed. Much love for you creators!
If you are wary of looking at other visual novels I would recomend : Echo, Extracurricular Activities, Adastra, Tennis Ace, Kings Guard, Regal Tails, and Tooth. If you like more RPG Styles then I would recommend : Tavern of Spear, Kemo Coliseum, and Uncommon Breed. I highly recommend more of Echo's work. He puts so much raw emotion into his story's that it really hits you in the feels. My got the story development is something else.
At the start choose oblivion. Then, when u are asked if you think amicus is going to become the emperor you say no. I don't really know why but that works
Just checked their Patreon and yeah 16 will be the final story installment, though there will still be bug fixes and editing passes done. They are working on a sequel though and hope to have the first build out by the end of June. <3
I love this story predominantly because I am not a furry, nor is the human character. Yet he falls in love with Amicus not because he's some beast but because of who he is. The two titular characters build a bond based on shared experiences and trauma and they find love for one another in this process. I like that the human character isn't some 'thirsty for canine dick' individual. This is a genuine love story that could easily wrap around a human to human narrative.
Along with that, I think the illustration style is perfect for tying the entire lore and narrative together. It helps define the world and each character perfectly.
The human character did at times annoying me with his stubbornness to certain things, but that said you can see that it's almost a commentary on humanity's own stubbornness. We're continually questioning things, even sometimes when it's not needed.
I am rather sad that the story ends. Emotionally, I connected with it to such an extent, however I look forward to the next installation.
This is a great story and I think that almost anyone can enjoy it.
Hello, how about just to know if in the future you have planned to release a version of adatra adapted to Spanish for all that community. Spanish speakers thank you for your attention
Omg yes, althought i could understand everything, but it would be really confortable if it was in Spanish, like, for my friends it would be better ajnfoasljf.
Really love the story, art and characters of this VN, and I wholeheartedly recommend.
Quick question: when an update is released (like v15 just was) is there a way to preserve our save files from former builds? Or do we just have to skip through to where the last build left off?
Thank you so much for creating such an amazing, with an amazing story, like everything was beautiful. I just finished the game right now and I wonder what's gonna happen next, and I hope it continues Marcos and Amicus's arc in the next installment. Just thank you for such an amazing game, I still want more lol but yeah such a beautiful VN thank you.
Hi all, I'm wondering if the few options that one has to make actually affect the story line in some way.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Like does the question Amicus ask about how to deal with Neferu change weather or not he gets down and dirty with the jackal? This is after the bath house scene.
Uh, spoilers, so don't click there if you don't wanna get spoiled, ding dongs.
It's when the parents ask if you will bend to their will. And now, in v15, there are a few more, but I haven't played it yet, I've just seen it in other comments.

5.8
5.8 what?
It will come out to the public on May 8.
Oh ok, I understand what you said now, thank you
I love this game it feels real and you actually sold it as a real gay romance not just a protagonist that just happened to be a guy also This happened
Kage bunshin no justu !

Apparently, that response from the Parents actually changes depending on how you answer a question earlier into the game :0
Can you guys add the skip feature which most vn have cause?
They have it tho
"Fiancee" with two e's is for females. "Fiance" with one e is for males.
You've taught me something new today.
I was low-key hoping to see more of Cass and Alex😭
Oh cool, whats the name of your YouTube channel so I can watch. :)
BUILD 14-15 SPOILERS!!!
Did anyone else choose not to submit to the benevolent will of the parents when you had that premonition in the archives? Because shit man that ending tho. It had me in tears, but I have to say...it was right for me. Also did anyone else get Meera's ending on build 15?

Plus it kinda felt they were threatening you in build 14 so I said no to them because for some reason I felt it better despite what they were insinuating... and I was right. Sadly 😔
So as someone who finished the 16th build with choosing to submit to the parents, I'm rather curious on what happens when you don't submit?
I don't care about spoilers. I finished the story and I'm leaving it as is.
I am still curious though to what happens if you don't submit, so if you're willing... spoil away please.
Well, I don't know if it was only because of that, since I think it was a mix of all my answers, but when I didn't decide to help them, what happened was that I was left to die. Instead of getting the moment where Amicus saves me, my conciousness just slowly faded away as the parents told me that they would try again in other generation, with other human. Even though, my answers were "Oblivion", "Talk with Neferu", "I'm not sure" (since Amicus at that moment looked like he had good intentions, but seemed like he was not ready to rule a kingdom) and "No, i will not submit", so maybe I just chose all the wrong answers
Well shit, that's an ending.
Some say that there's other where you talk with meera, but I wasn't able to get that one, so, I don't know what you need to get there or what you talk about, so I take that with a grain of salt
For me i got the meera ending by choosing "I'm not sure"(to amicus being emperor) and saying "yes" to the parent's will...
anny body got a defonit anser for haow manny endings / pathes thair is
Howly has said on Twitter or the Patreon that there are two paths for the ending. He's released build 16 to patrons already BUT says that build 17 should round everything off (as in it'll the final build).
Path B is taking some time according to Howly to get right.
There's a 17th build? I'm not sure if I'm happy because the story isn't over yet, or sad because when I end build 16 I'm gonna have to wait another month to get to see the ending, and I'm already having trouble waiting for the 16th build, even though I ended the story til the to be continued point just a few says ago.
I know right, it's sooo god-damned bitter-sweet. Hopefully the ending is still satisfying. I've finished Build 16 and honestly I'm content with the ending.
I genuinely like adastra. There were some problems I didnt enjoy, but overall it was a great experience considering the fact that this is my first visual novel. I hope the next two build will be released soon, and that there is a lot of story to enjoy despite how close we are to the end (maybe a sequel, but i have doubts)
I also hope the developer doesnt stress themselves out. I can wait, but adastra really messed up my sense of time, especially in the last few sequences (avoiding spoilers). All I can say is, this novel is "god-damned bitter-sweet" :)
Well I can tell you one thing my guy. There is an Adastra 2 in the works.
I mean this post by the illustrator HAPS says it all - https://twitter.com/GotSomeHaps/status/1248260672514908160
Then there's a Patreon post confirming it as well. I think Amicus is heading for Khemia (intrigue grows)
So yeah, awesomeness to come.
It keeps telling me this and I don't know why, it's the android version qwq
Im having that problem as well...
For me, I tried to install to the sd card, same error, clearing up some space on the internal storage helped.
Thank you! It worked! If I could give you a hug without ending up on r/creepyasterisks, I would! Seriously though, thanks for the help! Have a good day and ECT. And stay safe during these trying times! :)
Its a great game and I absolutely love it, but idk if anyone else is getting this glitch. Theres too much chönk to handle! OwO
I got the exact same glitch in the same spot
But there really is too much chonk to handle XD
i hoy the same glitch too uwu, but Is good so 10/10
Is the ending at this version really the ending of the story? Or just a cliffhanger? Because I don't know if maybe the choices I made caused me to get a bad ending. Does someone know about it? I would be grateful to know.
As far as i know there is one more update. but that only from a different comment so take it with a grain of salt.
Well, today they tweeted about the new build which patrons can already experience. The build was called "Farewell", so, that sounds like a last chapter, but who knows, maybe they do an extra build to tie all the things up and see their reunion, or maybe they even do a sequel, since the universe here is quite an interesting one and would be nice to see more of it, but that's more my hopes for it, since I love this guys and want to see them again. And also, I feel like I'm gonna feel horrible at the farewell, like, I'm gonna miss them all, Amicus, Neferu, Virginia, heck, even Alex and Cassius.
i realy hope thay do come bac this is the most in depth world i have seen in a wile and the art top noch
i cindof hope thay do a game like this for every parent speachese
Ok, I think I realized after back tracking that somehow I got the bad ending because of my distrust for the parents. Even though, after I continued with the story, I think i stumbled upon a glitch of some kind
There are two Amicus! And don't get me wrong, I love Amicus, but this is just too much. Also, this continues during all the scene. I hope there's some way of fixing it easily. Also, damn it Neferu! You chose the worst day for that.
Edit: I forgot to say that this happened to me on the windows version, so I'm not sure if it will happen in other ones, like android, linux or mac
I wanted to say, I really love this visual novel to my heart. Thank you guys for making this a beautiful VN, I appreciate it. I'll try to support you guys as much as I can. Thank you.
So, is there anyway I can find the soundtrack? or like the music artist who did the music.
Not totally sure (as I havent searched for it myself), however you can access the soundtrack through the game files and find each song and their name. Perhaps that's a good place to start in finding the soundtrack?
I'll check that out! Thanks dude!
just found them!
I'm glad you found it, and you're welcome!
We're not going to get Neferu's route, are we?
I second that wish!
Hey, so I downloaded the game a few days ago and finished everything there was for me in the game, but I'm confused as to whether or not I actually have all the story there is for the game in my version.
I downloaded the recent version (Adastra-15-win.zip) and I played through everything there was. Was the story updated for every single build, or were some of them used just to fix bugs in the game?
i think there is a little more to go
The last part I was on was Lover's Day with Amicus. Is that the last we have for the story at the moment, or did I somehow miss some of the story?
no we have till main character's leaving day
Okay, good to know. Do you know how I can possibly get to the most recent part of the game, or should I just wait until the next update to play the next content?
Im having issues downloading adastra 15 on my Android... It shows I've installed it, but as I go to create the app to play it, it just says it's not installed... I uninstalled 14 to see if that helped, but no... Could someone tell me what to do please? Thank you!
I am still having problems... Any info to help me?
Download isn't working
Device?
nvm i fixed it
Ive seen picutes of this around but never knew quite what it was. I didnt know this was a thing so i downloaded this with 2 others to try. I tried extracurricular activities and found myself surprised with how much i liked it.....and then i tried this one. I LOVE IT....and amicus hah! Looking forward to the ending....but also not wanting it to end! I liked it so much im hesitant to even bother trying any others! I probably will though since this has gotten me to like something new to me. Thanks for this it was something I think I needed. Much love for you creators!
I need an Amicus......<3
If you are wary of looking at other visual novels I would recomend : Echo, Extracurricular Activities, Adastra, Tennis Ace, Kings Guard, Regal Tails, and Tooth. If you like more RPG Styles then I would recommend : Tavern of Spear, Kemo Coliseum, and Uncommon Breed. I highly recommend more of Echo's work. He puts so much raw emotion into his story's that it really hits you in the feels. My got the story development is something else.
!!!BUILD 15 SPOILERS BE CAREFUL!!!
Has anybody gotten the meera scene and if so what do i do to get it?
At the start choose oblivion. Then, when u are asked if you think amicus is going to become the emperor you say no. I don't really know why but that works
Wait so, what does "to be concluded" mean exactly? Will the next update be the last one? Will there even be a next update?
There will be another one. But from the way things are going it seems like the next update will be the end.
Just checked their Patreon and yeah 16 will be the final story installment, though there will still be bug fixes and editing passes done. They are working on a sequel though and hope to have the first build out by the end of June. <3
I love this story predominantly because I am not a furry, nor is the human character. Yet he falls in love with Amicus not because he's some beast but because of who he is. The two titular characters build a bond based on shared experiences and trauma and they find love for one another in this process. I like that the human character isn't some 'thirsty for canine dick' individual. This is a genuine love story that could easily wrap around a human to human narrative.
Along with that, I think the illustration style is perfect for tying the entire lore and narrative together. It helps define the world and each character perfectly.
The human character did at times annoying me with his stubbornness to certain things, but that said you can see that it's almost a commentary on humanity's own stubbornness. We're continually questioning things, even sometimes when it's not needed.
I am rather sad that the story ends. Emotionally, I connected with it to such an extent, however I look forward to the next installation.
This is a great story and I think that almost anyone can enjoy it.
Are there other routes that aren't with Amicus ??
Not in this project. This is the story of MC and Amicus.
To be concluded...
Dayum, lemme go cry real quick
Thank you for the amazing story! It is so good... just thanks
wow.....happy
... wow
Omg yes, althought i could understand everything, but it would be really confortable if it was in Spanish, like, for my friends it would be better ajnfoasljf.
Really love the story, art and characters of this VN, and I wholeheartedly recommend.
Quick question: when an update is released (like v15 just was) is there a way to preserve our save files from former builds? Or do we just have to skip through to where the last build left off?
i love this. thank you . please keep up the good work and please worry about yourselfves, we love you
Thank you so much for creating such an amazing, with an amazing story, like everything was beautiful. I just finished the game right now and I wonder what's gonna happen next, and I hope it continues Marcos and Amicus's arc in the next installment. Just thank you for such an amazing game, I still want more lol but yeah such a beautiful VN thank you.
DO THE OPTIONS AFFECT PLOT-POINTS?
Hi all, I'm wondering if the few options that one has to make actually affect the story line in some way.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Like does the question Amicus ask about how to deal with Neferu change weather or not he gets down and dirty with the jackal? This is after the bath house scene.
I'd appreciate some input here, thanks.
Uh, I know one of the options affect the plot, but that's really it.
Which one is that exactly ??
Uh, spoilers, so don't click there if you don't wanna get spoiled, ding dongs.
It's when the parents ask if you will bend to their will. And now, in v15, there are a few more, but I haven't played it yet, I've just seen it in other comments.
