Yeah no, this is one of the very few games that made me breakdown into tears. Adastra has given me a completely new feeling I've never experienced. Phenomenal piece of writing and the art and characters are absolutely perfect.
I do not regret playing this game, in fact I enjoyed every part of it. I cried, laughed, and smiled while playing this. It was my first visual novel and I had no idea a visual novel game that is so simple could make me feel so many emotions! I LOVE ADASTRA SO MUCH <3
This game is absolutely fantastic! I LOVE the storyline and the art! it was a constant sycle of "oh WHAT?" to "OHHHH ok" i loved it. And the amount of plot twists is amazing! Took me 3 days to complete the game but it was so damn worth it.
i really badly wanna see more. This is really addicting and i just love how the characters where done. The lore is so good
Honestly felt upset when it ended i really want more and i am so damn attached to our main furry big boi <3
As I'm writing this, I just finished the game about 10 minutes ago. This is honestly the first game review that I've wanted to write.
I just want to take the time to express my absolute appreciation for the team over at The Echo Project. What a game this was...
Adastra is probably, no, it IS the only game that made me feel such deep emotion. This is going to sound preachy, but I'm not one to get emotionally swayed very much by video games. However, Adastra really felt as if I was the main character, experiencing every tiny feeling of fear, love, and uncertainty of what lies ahead. While playing, there were so many times where I actually cried, where I was shocked, and where I was heartbroken. I honestly can't express how moved I was while playing. It's really something you have to experience yourself by playing. As I am sitting here writing this review, I already miss Adastra (and Amicus >w<)!
The story is perfect, the music is perfect, the characters are perfect. I honestly have no complaints. The Echo Project deserves every bit of praise and appreciation that they can get, and I'm honestly disappointed that they haven't gotten far more recognition. If I had the means, I would become a Patreon supporter in a heartbeat. For what seems like a small group of devs and creators, the game seems like it could have been released from a large dev company. Every bit of Adastra is truly beautiful.
If you're debating or interested in playing Adastra, I 100% recommend it. It is a long story, so be prepared to invest quite a bit of your time into it. Really enjoy it too, there were moments where I had to rush through parts of the story because I was too busy haha, and I regret it. I just wish that this isn't the end of Amicus and the Human because I certainly am hoping for a second installment (the Human has got to come back!).
I hope that Adastra will capture those same emotions for you too!
One of the best-written reviews I've ever seen here! If you're looking for more Adastra, the writer began writing two new games: (Spoilers for those who haven't finished Adastra yet)
First you have Khemia: A sequel to Adastra happening 2.5 years after the Human's departure. In this game, you play as Scipio, a young wolf who's been chosen to go on a diplomatic mission alongside Amicus, Neferu, and some new characters (If you remember, there is a small scene at the end of Adastra in which Scipio tells Amicus the mission can begin). I'm guessing the story is going to focus on Neferu's relationship with his family, as well as on the political conflicts taking place on Khemia. And at last, I'm guessing the story is going to focus on Scipio x Neferu. "I'm guessing" because sadly, the writer suffered from a writer's block and is therefore incapable of working on the story right now. As a result of this block, the game is only 30 minutes long. Not more. But! There's also another reason as to why the game's development is paused. And this reason is...
...Interea! Interea ("Meanwhile" in English) is a companion visual novel to Adastra, like some sort of spin-off, focusing of the Moon Tour's events (if you remember correctly, during Adastra, Amicus promises the Human he'll take him on a Moon Tour. Well, in the game, the events of this Tour are only summed up in a few lines. Vague descriptions of cities, etc...). Well here, the entire Interea game is about this Moon Tour. Be aware though that this game is still short and in development (maybe 1H long until you hit "To be continued...").
Hope I was able to help! :D
NB: If you want more EchoProject, they have two really big opuses: Adastra (and its universe, including Khemia and Interea) and Echo, a psychological horror Visual Novel, and if you love horror, I truly recommend it (and its universe, including The Smoke Room, Arches, Route 65, etc...)
Wow, thanks a bunch! I love horror genres so I absolutely will take a look at Echo. I'm going to try to play Interea and Khemia literally as soon as I have time (I cant wait for more bestest boy Amicus) and hop on that emotional rollercoaster again I'm sure hahaha. Thanks again!
I love this game, while I was playing I cry, I rage, I scared.. too many emotions. In my opinion all of the furries should know this game. an brasilian furry have make an translate for this game ^^ love for all who read my comment
Loved this games so much!! The story line was so perfect, and I could not get over it. PLZ, PLZ, Make a second one. Even though I know its most likly not going to happen. :<
A really nice game. I will miss Amicus. I know that there is a sequel but the human isn't in the game. I hope that there will be another game when the human returns to Adastra. 10/10
There is a spin-off focusing on the Moon Tour (In Adastra, Amicus takes the Human on a Moon Tour, however, in the game the events are merely briefed). It's called "Interea". However, this game is still in development.
Khemia may be on hold, but Interea is providing background info about the characters and history that will come into play in Khemia. This should let the story move forward faster.
Theres a midquel (intera) or whatever you call it, basically shows what happened in the trip that the mc and amicus took to visit the cities. It also provides a bit of history (in the beginning of the game told by com) about Amicus's father ig.
When you're in the "the end" part if you like wait or keep clicking on the screen you'll meet a short prologue scene with Scipio walking towards the throne towards amicus which is the events of Khemia
It's about clicking or waiting, it's not an easter egg either, it's meant to be there x3 Because you have to click to return to the menu once the game hits "The End", you'll always see this short scene It's such a good teaser tbh
You do not play as the Human, so it is not a direct sequel and COULD be considered a spin-off. Thing is, the events taking place in Khemia are following the events taking place in Adastra (with a 2.5 years gap, but remember the last line of Adatrsa (spoiler): Scipio walking in the Throne room and warning Amicus about the Diplomacy Mission. What does Khemia begin with? Scipio going on the Diplomacy Mission).
Keep in mind however that both Interea (a companion novel to Adastra (spoiler) focusing on the Moon Tour the Human and Amicus go on after Cato's death (in Adastra, these events are merely briefed)) and Khemia are still under heavy development. Therefore they're short. Khemia's on hold since almost a year now; due to a writer's block and because the writer wants to focus on Interea rn Hope I helped, have a good one mate
I have a question to EchoProject. I found a books with name "Servant of the emperor". As you see from images, it looks like a full copy of yours vn. I just have question: is he allowed to make, post this book without any link to your project and selling? And yes, this books is selling in some sites for much money. Did you actually know about this book?
i just revisited back Adastra (completed the vn a few minutes ago in fact hahah!) after two years of playing it half way since it was still in dev back then and i told myself to wait until it was finished. as i expected, i fell in love with Amicus all over again and it was the best feeling and now playing the complete story, it was truly an amazing experience. hoping there would be a slot for maybe a sequel for what's coming after 8 years but for now we'll see what Interea and Khemia has to offer for us.
can someone tell me whats the order of the game? like what do i play first? Khemia, Interea or Adastra? i want to play them by order so i can understand the story much better :)
You indeed have to play Adastra since Khemia's a sequel.
However, it doesn't matter what game you play after Adastra. Interea's a short story focusing on one point of Adastra (in the game, the events happening in Interea are summed up in a few lines). Khemia's a sequel happening a couple years after Adastra! ^^
I absolutely love this game.. I really hope there will be more to it eventually.. this game honestly made me cry so many times... It is too good.. I loved all of the characters... the scenes.. the music.. everything... I wish this was honestly real, I wish amicus was real.. he is so sweet.. so heartwarming and such a sweet wolf... but kato and alexios can go to stinky they are not good.. but also I maybe did simp for nefru a crap ton -p- but still.. this game is a 100/10 best game I have ever played, this deserves top pinned file in my files... gosh.. why is this so good? and why do I want this to be real? because I can say... this is the best game I have ever played in my entire life... and most likely be.. my god I am crying as I am typing this because I just finished the game and aaaaa >/////< thanks sooo sooo much EchoProject for making the best game in the whole dang world..
I apologize in advance for the way I write this post. I don't know English well enough, so there might be a lot of mistakes.. I myself am from Russia.
Thank you very much, EchoProject, for such a chic novel that I replayed it for the second time. My first playthrough got me a bit depressed, but in a good way, don't overthink it. I fell in love with Amicus, Marco and in principle in all characters (except Kato and Alexios..). This short story was my first, and the only thing that could bring me to hysterics. I am grateful to its creators. Very grateful. I remember the whole plot of it, from cover to cover, so to speak.
Once again, thanks to the creators of Adastra for Amicus, and, in principle, for the entire novel. By the way, I recently went through Khemia, as well as Interia. I was in seventh heaven when I saw Amicus again, I swear!
Amicus. I'm sorry that I didn't have time to buy you in the form of a plush toy.. I'm very sad because of this.. pwq
Oh yes, I almost forgot.. I went through the novel two years ago, and I really remember the plot so far (even though I recently replayed it, I experienced millions of times more emotions)..
I know! And I'm incredibly happy.. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money, but.. my friend helped me out and pre-ordered. So very soon, as production starts again, I will definitely have Amicus, and I will sleep with him every day and every night ... Although, probably, I will not let him go even every second! :3
ah, yes "please forgive me sir for i do not comprehend English well therefor this passage of texts may hold some mistakes so please i recite please forgive my lack of competence" type vibe
lmao dude youre good prob better than the rest of us engish speakers even more so if youre still learning lol
Just finished playing and I feel like I am about to cry . Best VN I've ever played . Everything about it is PERFECT! Art , background and especially story ( reading it was feeling like a roller coaster) . I don't usually read in eng , but I just couldn't stop myself , it was just toooooooo good . I hope to see the story progress :D
ESTA MUY BONITO pero dejan un final abierto Y ME QUEDÉ CON GANAS D MÁS KAJSKQNDKWE
No sé si habrá una segunda entrega o el juego será actualizado después para darnos una conclusión, pero igualmente, felicitaciones a los creadores por crear tremenda joya de juego 💜
Hay otras dos novelas relacionadas. Una es Interea que narra cosas que sucedieron mientras el personaje principal estuvo en Adastra, y la otra es Khemia, que narra lo que sigue en Adastra (y Khemia) después de que el protagonista vuelve a la Tierra
this was an amazing VN that i ever played, Amazing art, the emotion that get build from the story, its hard to explain, every single thing in this VN was perfect good job for the maker keep it up ^^
Just finished my first playthrough, I thought it was great. Fell in love with Amicus almost immediately, he may have started as a bit of a screw-up, but it's a sign of good writing once you've seen the Man (or rather Wolf) he is by the end. I'm almost considering doing a second playthrough just to spend a little more time with my man Amicus.
I'm having a really difficult time processing the emotions this game has inspired in me. Bit of background, I am part of/have lived my whole life in a religion that prohibits being gay, or at least acting on it. I'm gay and in the closet. Not a great combo.
I never foresaw myself binge-playijg through this whole game over the course of 2-3 days, but it connected with me on a spiritual level. I have always been told and have thus told myself that people like me can't have love, that I need to live alone my whole life to be good with god. Adastra is my first experience ever truly tasting what it might be like to have somebody to love, somebody who loves me in return. Going through this story allowed me to pretend for a short moment that I was allowed to feel that happiness, that I was free to move forward with a relationship with another man and possibly find love and lifelong companionship there. My mind is still blown by the huge shift in perspective this has affected in me.
The feelings of bittersweet departure at the end of the game are still raw in my heart. What's left in the void Amicus leaves is a whole soup of emotions and realizations. For my first time in my life, I can almost see myself finding love someday irl now, it feels like a potential future for me, and that excites me to no end! Though it may come at the risk of denying my religion and therefore all that I've grown to believe, as well as all of the family and friend relationships I may lose if I leave that behind for the sake of hopefully finding love somewhere out there.
I'm at a bit ofn at a loss at the moment, no idea how to truly move forward yet. But I must say to all those that contributed to creating this story, thank you. You've given this man hope that, despite the difficulties life presents, I may be able to find loving companionship someday so I don't have to spend this life alone. You've done a great thing here, I hope you all know that :)
I know that place man! I've been there for way too much time. I know how the views of the people around you can nullify you and limit your world and possibilities. You need to move on. Meet other people, make new friends, expand your perspectives. If someone "loves" an ideal of you that is not you, but they hate what you really are then they just don't love you. People that love you will love you after knowing everything about you. If their "love" depends on a facade you show to please them then they don't worth your time or sacrifice. Be yourself, no matter what, and discard people that won't accept who you really are, those people never loved you, they only loved a lie that is not you, a mask they forced you to wear.
Thanks u so much to the creators, this is the best story I ever read, is was SUPER cute and romantic, I was crying and screaming in all the game XD I scream a lot more when I realized that there was a continuation, this story affect me a lot and I love it, thax echo proyect for this magnificent story, this story really touched my heart, thank you very much for this masterpiece❤
To any person that hasn’t read this visual novel yet, I recommend that you stop scrolling through the comments and play through; the less knowledge you have about anything in the game, the better it will be.
Minor spoilers ahead:
Anyways, I have to say this is one of the best stories I have ever read. I am not a really big cryer when it comes to stuff like this, and I can count the amount of times that I’ve cried at a story on my fingers. But this game made me sob, and no other story has done that to me. The plot is thought out so well and the romance falls into place so naturally. It is so refreshing from a lot of other romances where everything seems to go their way just because the story was written that way. What makes Adastra stand out from other romances is that there is not only good plot outside of the romance itself, it’s also that it’s not a “me chasing my secret lover” type deal. It details a pretty standard relationship, like how one in the real world would develop; not a guy chasing after someone out of his league and would pay no mind to him previously, but friends with mutual respect that just decide to take their friendship up to another level. There really isn’t enough written romance like this, and Adastra has left me feeling very satisfied. Thank you for writing such an incredible story.
I want to extremely emphasize how important this comment is and how much this game was to me. I just finished it and now I'm sitting here crying, with a complex set of emotions over fictional characters in a video game. I downloaded this game because of the "big hunky wolf man" being constantly shown to me around the internet. I download this game wanting to give it a shot and now, 21 hours of nonstop playing have me full of feeling I've never had before. I would get so immensely involved with this game, that it "was" practically a full life experience I never thought I could have. I would always care for Amicus, getting angry, upset, exited, and in literal tears as I am right now. This game means so much to me and I genuinely care for Amicus, never wanting to see him sad or crying, because it would make do the same. I don't know if you guys are ever going to see this, or it would get lost in time within this comment section, but I really want to appreciate you guys for making such a heartwarming and beautiful experience. This was probably the best Christmas present I could ever ask for. I've been living in a homeless shelter, now quarantined because I have Covid, not being able to see family or... anyone for that matter. But to have this game, and genuinely live this experience made my holiday. Thanks you guys so much for giving me hope, and I hope you all have a Happy New Year. :)

Adastra rating: 20/10, the most beautiful experience you'll ever play/live
I know what you were feeling, most of the people here do. It's such a shame, that all things have to come to an end. Right now my hope is that in a few years we might be able to read about the reunion of Amicus and Marco, eight years later.
I hope you're doing well so far, feel hugged and stay strong! And even if we don't know each other: I'm thinking of you. Happy new year!
Thank you. It's good to see a heartfelt comment directed towards me (I don't get that a lot). I almost cried again thinking of the end of the game, hoping it would continue as well. To be honest, [and spoilers ahead] I think the future described by the parents gives me hope for both me and Amicus. Even though we won't see each other for a very long time, we still have something to connect us by, and after this is all done we'll have a happy beautiful life. I just never wanted to see my wolf boy sad, because it genuinely breaks my heart.
Thank you for taking the time to read my whole ramble, I extremely appreciate it :)
You don't have to cry over it again (i felt also after that), this is not the end. It's just like Amicus said: Even if he's moving away, he's moving towards you. And speaking of the parents, i think they will take care of us all. Even if it now seems for a long time that has to pass, eight years for almost two hundred isn't a bad deal. Still want to figure out what the others exactly are...
I just started playing Adastra cuz it seemed like a good game to spend time in but now I know that it's much more than just a game
Amicus and the gang made me cry in sadness, laugh in happiness, and grit my teeth in anger a lot of times and I'm grateful for the lessons they taught me and I hope that in the future we get to see more of this lovely himbo wolf that always makes me feel better than ever
I wish you a good Happy New Year and I hope we meet again in this ocean that is the internet :)
Thank you both for the heartfelt comments. I truly appreciate it. I'm less moody and sad about it ending and more just bored that I don't have anything left to play (I mean Interea is still in the air, but I'd rather wait a bit). Like I said, for me this was a life changing experience for me, and I've been lonely for a long time and this game made me not feel so alone for the 21 hours I dumped into it. For me, I practically lived a different life for less of a day, and I'm just questioning what to do now. Hopefully in the future we can see a "true" sequel to Adastra. Again, thank you both and Happy New Year 😄
Haven't finished it, but I am totally engrossed in how the story is going thus far and feeling extremely uncertain for unknown reasons. Love the art, music, backgrounds and more, and looking forward to the rest of the story.
And remember, don't inhale the smoke of a burnt flipflop along with kréestalmyeth, you never know what demon you might encounter-- oh hey is that beelzebub~-

Loved this games so much!! The story line was so perfect, and I could not get over it. PLZ, PLZ, Make a second one. Even though I know its most likly not going to happen. :<
I'm confused what age is the game in? 🤨
Probably around 2020
I can’t even download this game all it does it says I need to extract it then I do that and I try opening the application and says the same thing
A really nice game. I will miss Amicus. I know that there is a sequel but the human isn't in the game. I hope that there will be another game when the human returns to Adastra. 10/10

Alright thanks for saying I'll start playing the game :D
may as well since i heard khemia is being delayed due to writers block or something of the sort
Yep, that's write. Khemia's one hold atm
Khemia may be on hold, but Interea is providing background info about the characters and history that will come into play in Khemia. This should let the story move forward faster.
Theres a midquel (intera) or whatever you call it, basically shows what happened in the trip that the mc and amicus took to visit the cities. It also provides a bit of history (in the beginning of the game told by com) about Amicus's father ig.

It's about clicking or waiting, it's not an easter egg either, it's meant to be there x3
Because you have to click to return to the menu once the game hits "The End", you'll always see this short scene
It's such a good teaser tbh
Soo... Khemia is the sequel aight~
Its a spin off of Adastra
ah i see, thanks~
Well it's half a sequel and half a spin-off.
You do not play as the Human, so it is not a direct sequel and COULD be considered a spin-off. Thing is, the events taking place in Khemia are following the events taking place in Adastra (with a 2.5 years gap, but remember the last line of Adatrsa (spoiler): Scipio walking in the Throne room and warning Amicus about the Diplomacy Mission.

Therefore they're short. Khemia's on hold since almost a year now; due to a writer's block and because the writer wants to focus on Interea rn
Hope I helped, have a good one mate
Lovely, thanks budd!
Absolutely amazing. I cried.
We all did, I swear, I passed a really bad an beautiful moment with this vn
1 word…. Amazing!!!
I have a question to EchoProject. I found a books with name "Servant of the emperor". As you see from images, it looks like a full copy of yours vn. I just have question: is he allowed to make, post this book without any link to your project and selling? And yes, this books is selling in some sites for much money. Did you actually know about this book?
No, I don't think this is even legal... Maybe contact the EchoProject on Twitter about this? It feels like pure plagiarism
Sad, but their messages in Twitter is locked. Maybe is any place where I can contact them?
Well maybe you can post it on Twitter tagging them? Idk tbh
You could also try posting a message to the author on Patron. Although I think direct messaging requires you to be a patron.
Try echothevn@gmail.com. That's their main email
Big thanks! Already messaged!
Try on discord
What is they Discord?
i just revisited back Adastra (completed the vn a few minutes ago in fact hahah!) after two years of playing it half way since it was still in dev back then and i told myself to wait until it was finished. as i expected, i fell in love with Amicus all over again and it was the best feeling and now playing the complete story, it was truly an amazing experience. hoping there would be a slot for maybe a sequel for what's coming after 8 years but for now we'll see what Interea and Khemia has to offer for us.
can someone tell me whats the order of the game? like what do i play first? Khemia, Interea or Adastra? i want to play them by order so i can understand the story much better :)
Adastra, Khemia, and interea. but personally I played interea first before khemia
oh thanks! very much appreciated
You indeed have to play Adastra since Khemia's a sequel.
However, it doesn't matter what game you play after Adastra. Interea's a short story focusing on one point of Adastra (in the game, the events happening in Interea are summed up in a few lines). Khemia's a sequel happening a couple years after Adastra! ^^
I absolutely love this game.. I really hope there will be more to it eventually.. this game honestly made me cry so many times... It is too good.. I loved all of the characters... the scenes.. the music.. everything... I wish this was honestly real, I wish amicus was real.. he is so sweet.. so heartwarming and such a sweet wolf... but kato and alexios can go to stinky they are not good.. but also I maybe did simp for nefru a crap ton -p- but still.. this game is a 100/10 best game I have ever played, this deserves top pinned file in my files... gosh.. why is this so good? and why do I want this to be real? because I can say... this is the best game I have ever played in my entire life... and most likely be.. my god I am crying as I am typing this because I just finished the game and aaaaa >/////< thanks sooo sooo much EchoProject for making the best game in the whole dang world..
I wholly with 100% of my soul agree with you. I couldn't have said it better myself if I tried. This is exactly how I feel.
I apologize in advance for the way I write this post. I don't know English well enough, so there might be a lot of mistakes.. I myself am from Russia.
Thank you very much, EchoProject, for such a chic novel that I replayed it for the second time. My first playthrough got me a bit depressed, but in a good way, don't overthink it. I fell in love with Amicus, Marco and in principle in all characters (except Kato and Alexios..). This short story was my first, and the only thing that could bring me to hysterics. I am grateful to its creators. Very grateful. I remember the whole plot of it, from cover to cover, so to speak.
Once again, thanks to the creators of Adastra for Amicus, and, in principle, for the entire novel. By the way, I recently went through Khemia, as well as Interia. I was in seventh heaven when I saw Amicus again, I swear!
Amicus. I'm sorry that I didn't have time to buy you in the form of a plush toy.. I'm very sad because of this.. pwq
Oh yes, I almost forgot.. I went through the novel two years ago, and I really remember the plot so far (even though I recently replayed it, I experienced millions of times more emotions)..
The Amicus plush toy is back on preorder right now, but they'll only produce it of they get a minimum of 800 orders in. Go place your order!

I know! And I'm incredibly happy.. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money, but.. my friend helped me out and pre-ordered. So very soon, as production starts again, I will definitely have Amicus, and I will sleep with him every day and every night ... Although, probably, I will not let him go even every second! :3
ah, yes "please forgive me sir for i do not comprehend English well therefor this passage of texts may hold some mistakes so please i recite please forgive my lack of competence" type vibe
lmao dude youre good prob better than the rest of us engish speakers even more so if youre still learning lol
Man, i fell hard for Neferu. Idk what else to say😌
Me am not good with words so me gonna agree with everyone in this comment section ☝️
Great work, this is
Simply Amazing, I loved every moment throughout the vast tale surrounding the plot of Adastra- 10/10, Thank you Echo Project!
Just finished playing and I feel like I am about to cry . Best VN I've ever played . Everything about it is PERFECT! Art , background and especially story ( reading it was feeling like a roller coaster) . I don't usually read in eng , but I just couldn't stop myself , it was just toooooooo good . I hope to see the story progress :D
ESTA MUY BONITO pero dejan un final abierto Y ME QUEDÉ CON GANAS D MÁS KAJSKQNDKWE
No sé si habrá una segunda entrega o el juego será actualizado después para darnos una conclusión, pero igualmente, felicitaciones a los creadores por crear tremenda joya de juego 💜
Hay otras dos novelas relacionadas. Una es Interea que narra cosas que sucedieron mientras el personaje principal estuvo en Adastra, y la otra es Khemia, que narra lo que sigue en Adastra (y Khemia) después de que el protagonista vuelve a la Tierra
Gracias por la info! Por lo que veo ambos proyectos siguen en desarrollo, voy a checarlos después
this was an amazing VN that i ever played, Amazing art, the emotion that get build from the story, its hard to explain, every single thing in this VN was perfect
good job for the maker
keep it up ^^
This was my second Vn, and I have to say, IT IS A MASTERPIECE! Amicus is such a cutie and the sprite art and OST is just- Y E S
Thank you Echo Project for this emotional roller coaster, I had a lot of fun with it! I hope they make a sequel with the human :D
Just finished my first playthrough, I thought it was great. Fell in love with Amicus almost immediately, he may have started as a bit of a screw-up, but it's a sign of good writing once you've seen the Man (or rather Wolf) he is by the end. I'm almost considering doing a second playthrough just to spend a little more time with my man Amicus.
I'm having a really difficult time processing the emotions this game has inspired in me. Bit of background, I am part of/have lived my whole life in a religion that prohibits being gay, or at least acting on it. I'm gay and in the closet. Not a great combo.
I never foresaw myself binge-playijg through this whole game over the course of 2-3 days, but it connected with me on a spiritual level. I have always been told and have thus told myself that people like me can't have love, that I need to live alone my whole life to be good with god. Adastra is my first experience ever truly tasting what it might be like to have somebody to love, somebody who loves me in return. Going through this story allowed me to pretend for a short moment that I was allowed to feel that happiness, that I was free to move forward with a relationship with another man and possibly find love and lifelong companionship there. My mind is still blown by the huge shift in perspective this has affected in me.
The feelings of bittersweet departure at the end of the game are still raw in my heart. What's left in the void Amicus leaves is a whole soup of emotions and realizations. For my first time in my life, I can almost see myself finding love someday irl now, it feels like a potential future for me, and that excites me to no end! Though it may come at the risk of denying my religion and therefore all that I've grown to believe, as well as all of the family and friend relationships I may lose if I leave that behind for the sake of hopefully finding love somewhere out there.
I'm at a bit ofn at a loss at the moment, no idea how to truly move forward yet. But I must say to all those that contributed to creating this story, thank you. You've given this man hope that, despite the difficulties life presents, I may be able to find loving companionship someday so I don't have to spend this life alone. You've done a great thing here, I hope you all know that :)
It's strange how a bit of supposedly lightweight furry fiction can hit so damn hard.
Anyway, all the best in however you choose to lead your live your life and whomever you choose to love. Hang in there. Hugs.
I know that place man! I've been there for way too much time. I know how the views of the people around you can nullify you and limit your world and possibilities. You need to move on. Meet other people, make new friends, expand your perspectives. If someone "loves" an ideal of you that is not you, but they hate what you really are then they just don't love you. People that love you will love you after knowing everything about you. If their "love" depends on a facade you show to please them then they don't worth your time or sacrifice. Be yourself, no matter what, and discard people that won't accept who you really are, those people never loved you, they only loved a lie that is not you, a mask they forced you to wear.
Thanks u so much to the creators, this is the best story I ever read, is was SUPER cute and romantic, I was crying and screaming in all the game XD I scream a lot more when I realized that there was a continuation, this story affect me a lot and I love it, thax echo proyect for this magnificent story, this story really touched my heart, thank you very much for this masterpiece❤
To any person that hasn’t read this visual novel yet, I recommend that you stop scrolling through the comments and play through; the less knowledge you have about anything in the game, the better it will be.
Minor spoilers ahead:
Anyways, I have to say this is one of the best stories I have ever read. I am not a really big cryer when it comes to stuff like this, and I can count the amount of times that I’ve cried at a story on my fingers. But this game made me sob, and no other story has done that to me. The plot is thought out so well and the romance falls into place so naturally. It is so refreshing from a lot of other romances where everything seems to go their way just because the story was written that way. What makes Adastra stand out from other romances is that there is not only good plot outside of the romance itself, it’s also that it’s not a “me chasing my secret lover” type deal. It details a pretty standard relationship, like how one in the real world would develop; not a guy chasing after someone out of his league and would pay no mind to him previously, but friends with mutual respect that just decide to take their friendship up to another level. There really isn’t enough written romance like this, and Adastra has left me feeling very satisfied. Thank you for writing such an incredible story.
I really hope that there will be a sequel to this one day.
THERE IS! IT'S CALLED KHEMIA
I think they mean with the human we play in it
You're correct @Raging_Moose
Hi. This VN made me sob from my belly with tears running through me beard to fall on my chest and lap. Great big sobs.
I cry. Yes, i do. But never sob from my belly button like Adastra made me do!
Creative Team. Be proud of yourself. this was an amazing piece of writing.
Thank you for creating it and sharing it with us.
Thank you.

I want to extremely emphasize how important this comment is and how much this game was to me. I just finished it and now I'm sitting here crying, with a complex set of emotions over fictional characters in a video game. I downloaded this game because of the "big hunky wolf man" being constantly shown to me around the internet. I download this game wanting to give it a shot and now, 21 hours of nonstop playing have me full of feeling I've never had before. I would get so immensely involved with this game, that it "was" practically a full life experience I never thought I could have. I would always care for Amicus, getting angry, upset, exited, and in literal tears as I am right now. This game means so much to me and I genuinely care for Amicus, never wanting to see him sad or crying, because it would make do the same. I don't know if you guys are ever going to see this, or it would get lost in time within this comment section, but I really want to appreciate you guys for making such a heartwarming and beautiful experience. This was probably the best Christmas present I could ever ask for. I've been living in a homeless shelter, now quarantined because I have Covid, not being able to see family or... anyone for that matter. But to have this game, and genuinely live this experience made my holiday. Thanks you guys so much for giving me hope, and I hope you all have a Happy New Year. :)

Adastra rating: 20/10, the most beautiful experience you'll ever play/live
Spoiler ahead!
I know what you were feeling, most of the people here do. It's such a shame, that all things have to come to an end. Right now my hope is that in a few years we might be able to read about the reunion of Amicus and Marco, eight years later.
I hope you're doing well so far, feel hugged and stay strong! And even if we don't know each other: I'm thinking of you. Happy new year!
Thank you. It's good to see a heartfelt comment directed towards me (I don't get that a lot). I almost cried again thinking of the end of the game, hoping it would continue as well. To be honest, [and spoilers ahead] I think the future described by the parents gives me hope for both me and Amicus. Even though we won't see each other for a very long time, we still have something to connect us by, and after this is all done we'll have a happy beautiful life. I just never wanted to see my wolf boy sad, because it genuinely breaks my heart.
Thank you for taking the time to read my whole ramble, I extremely appreciate it :)
No problem, thought you could need it :)
Another spoiler alert:
You don't have to cry over it again (i felt also after that), this is not the end. It's just like Amicus said: Even if he's moving away, he's moving towards you. And speaking of the parents, i think they will take care of us all. Even if it now seems for a long time that has to pass, eight years for almost two hundred isn't a bad deal. Still want to figure out what the others exactly are...
And again, no problem. Just get well soon ;)
I kinda know what you're feeling
I just started playing Adastra cuz it seemed like a good game to spend time in but now I know that it's much more than just a game
Amicus and the gang made me cry in sadness, laugh in happiness, and grit my teeth in anger a lot of times and I'm grateful for the lessons they taught me and I hope that in the future we get to see more of this lovely himbo wolf that always makes me feel better than ever
I wish you a good Happy New Year and I hope we meet again in this ocean that is the internet :)
Thank you both for the heartfelt comments. I truly appreciate it. I'm less moody and sad about it ending and more just bored that I don't have anything left to play (I mean Interea is still in the air, but I'd rather wait a bit). Like I said, for me this was a life changing experience for me, and I've been lonely for a long time and this game made me not feel so alone for the 21 hours I dumped into it. For me, I practically lived a different life for less of a day, and I'm just questioning what to do now. Hopefully in the future we can see a "true" sequel to Adastra. Again, thank you both and Happy New Year 😄
I understand your feelings. Hope you`re good now :`)
The ending was just painful to go through ; w;
But after that, a new feeling of hope replaced the uncertainty lingering..
Great story bruv, no regrets reading this at all, can't wait to read your other works as well - w-
Is Interea the sequel to this or was it Khemia?
Interea happens during Adastra, Khemia is after the events (2 or so years after I think)
Aye got it
This game is astonishing in any way possible
I wish it hadn't an end, but, as all good things
It has
I'll be grateful for the lessons this masterpiece taught for all my life
And I hope to one day feel all the emotions I felt while playing it
The last sentence caught me ~
3 things that stood out to me (weirdly) was:
-a lot of backstabbing
-expected unexpected things
-how high these wolves might be
Haven't finished it, but I am totally engrossed in how the story is going thus far and feeling extremely uncertain for unknown reasons. Love the art, music, backgrounds and more, and looking forward to the rest of the story.
And remember, don't inhale the smoke of a burnt flipflop along with kréestalmyeth, you never know what demon you might encounter-- oh hey is that beelzebub~-
The backstabbing part was mostly figurative btw.
They stated that they are mostly 6 foot tall (2 meters sorry not that used to the foot system) but there are some that are as small as the mc
You telling me they're about 104 hamburgers high
Probably, probably the same number it would take the wolf to be full...probably not XD
