OK 1st I am getting the feeling that it's all gonna end with ether we die or we leave and never get to see Amicus or it was all a dream (i don't feel so much on the last one) 2nd I think it was kinda funny that the song Dancing in the Dunes is sung by Heqet the Egyptian goddess of fertility 3rd does any one know what Ahotep means in adastra I looked it up and in irl its a pharo and finally DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY ASTATOS BUT NOT ON PATREON PREFERABLY WITH THE ADASTRA CARDS. Pleas and thank you. p.s. pleas answer specific questions with designated number oh and last question about the astatos if any one could help my son put it on a Christmas list and i need to know where to find it not on patreon. hes 10
OK so not complaining (well I guess a little) and i know they said that they would be on hiatus but its already December and still no update does anyone have an idea as to when the next non-patreon update will be out?
I'm finding the lack of choice a little frustrating. I just got to the scene where Amicus gets a little "handsy" with Neferu in the bath house and I'm honestly infuriated that I can't smack Amicus upside the head for potentially alienating (pun not intended) a potential ally.
Edit: Okay, that I couldn't agree to take a walk with Neferu and Alex is even more egregious. FFS this PC is an idiot. If Amicus loses the emperorship Neferu is the only one who can help him get home! Get in his good graces you numbskull!
This game has brilliant writing, it's bringing out an emotional response in me, which is impressive. I appreciate all the hard work out in to create such a great story.
Quick question. For mobile users, is there a way to transfer saves to new updates? Looking at comments, it looks like a new update is coming soon and I'm pretty far in. I'll definitely fast forward if I have to, but I'm wondering for convince sake if there's a way to keep my save
Thank you. I figured it had already been answered, but I didn't see it and I wasn't gonna spend ages scrolling through the comments. I appreciate the help
This is perhaps one of the best visual novels I've played yet, it manages to do something that seems simple but is actually very hard, it made me give a toss about the characters.
It is very charming, with exquisite sprites and personality and, while it does sacrifice freedom in exchange for a better story I wholeheartedly accept that.
On the "gameplay" side of things, there are some technical issues that, while I'm sure can be attributed to the game still being in development, I will list off anyways. [I played on a samsung galaxy a8 by the way, that might change things.]:
The most annoying bug I encountered relatively often was that the text would go off the bottom of my screen for the last phase, which wouldn't be a problem as the game does offer a log of all read dialogue if it wasn't for the fact that:
The history tab smooshes text on itself, rendering it unreadable;
The game tab would occasionally uncenter itself, I assume this has to do with my device's aspect ratio.
Other than that it's a great experience as long as you like reading
Hopefully it wont all end with ether us or amicus dying or it all being a dream or never getting to see amicus again. this may sound greedy or snobby or whatever but i want it to be a happy ending like getting to live with amicus on adastra.
I'm really liking the game so far, but will we have the opportunity to bond more with the other characters in the future? Or at least some options that don't lead to a relationship with Amicus?
I'm having trouble trying to download the phone app. I wish I could explain what the problem is, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to even understand why it's not downloading.
If you cant download the apk on the phone, just downoad it via any PC then move the downloaded apk to your sd card using a usb micro sd card reader or just plug your phone via usb cable
I'm not entirely sure what's going on - but ever since you released Update 10, I keep trying to update it via Itch's App, but it keeps loading the website page in my browser instead of downloading/updating the game.

This was one of the best things i have single-handedly ever played. this visual novel was amazing, i enjoyed every second of it. my heart busting and rushing wondering what happens, especially for poor Amicus. its a neat universe to delve in! I fear i might not play a game to beat this one.
I'm not sure if you'll come across this comment or not, but I feel it needs to be said.
I know your visual novel for a few months now, but haven't really gone into it yet until patch 10 happened and I learned your game has a collaboration with Astatos. This vn might took some time of my day out, but it's an amazingly beautiful story thus far, not just the novelty of this story being amazing, but I feel like it's a lot more professionally written than some other VNs I've read so far on itch.io (Granted I haven't touch on Echo yet lol)
As we speak, and I am not out of the woods yet, but I am insanely beyond stress with so many things on my plate lately. This is one of those stories that have anchored my emotions back, or at least balanced out my troubled minds with a lot of dopamine with our best wolf Amicus here. That's all I'll have to say.
Might just be at the right place and at the right time, but thank you. SO MUCH. For Adastra.
ive read a few visual novels by now and i must say, im impressed. this got me hooked so hard i just couldnt stop reading so my journey was over after 2 days but iam looking forward to the updates! But its not perfect, i would like some more choice options, it really does feel more like a book than a visual novel in which you can choose your way and it feels like the choices you do choose from really dont have that much impact. But that doesnt make the game itself any worse. Because of the amazingly written story i didnt feel like it was that bad to not have that many choices but still, i guess i would like it to be more interactive ^^ Keep it up!
I love this game Nekojishi almost made me cry this game did especially at the dreaming part (being vague as not to spoil) but this game is great and i am not a big fan of visual novel games but this one is that good pleas keep working on it. I love it so much.
I Just whant to say that this is the best visual novel I ever played, I loved the history and the characters, especially Amicus, I'm completely obsessed with him, he's just perfect.
I cried with the game, laughed, and most importantly, I enjoyed every second of the game, the only thing that makes me sad and makes my heart hurt a little is the fact that Amicus doesn't exist in real life.
(Oh, and if you ever make an Amicus pillow cover let me know ASAP because I'd love to buy one <3)
Um.. hi EchoProject.... Just a suggestion(not just for adastra), when releasing an update apk for Android, don't change the package name, like on last month's update, it's package name was adastra.game95, now this month (October), was adastra.game010... um, can you just use one, package name..
Like this...
For adastra: com.echoproject.adastra.game
For echo: com.echoproject.echo.game
im suggesting this to stick to one package name for your every game for Android because when i want to install the latest release of your games, i will have to first is to backup the data then uninstall the previous version and install the latest one and restore the data on the latest version (with different package name)
Thankyou so much for this the story and art is amazing .Well developed .Wonderful charcters and wonderful story which you will savour until the very end
Ahhhhhh cliffhanger again q.q This game is really good and i want more of it. It's such a good story and i love the art style and the characters und the designs and...basically everything of it '^^
The Itch.io client metadata seems to be missing from the recent Adastra uploads to the Itch.io website; because of this, the Itch.io desktop client for Windows still thinks that version 9 is the most recent version (presumably, this issue also exists on other platforms since all of the version 10 uploads appear to lack this metadata).
I am at a loss for words... Everything about this visual novel is perfect. The pacing, the characters and their personalities, how they interact with each other and the world around them, the overall narrative to make the reader actually feel like they are in the shoes of the self-insertion surrogate character. In the beginning I felt the panic of being abducted, the fight and flight of attacking Amicus in the beginning, the guilt of coming to a compromising truce, arriving to Adastra for the first time, the thrill of hiding with Amicus, the odds and ends of novelty moments and every day life, throught the constant friendly banter and sometimes warring. every moment has been beautiful and I am so deelpy in love with Amicus and the world around him. I have laughed, gotten angry (I'm not a fan of Cato but my gods he is a very well fleshed out character and you guys are amazing at making him unlikeable) I have gotten scared, and I have cried and bawled my eyes out. This truly is a masterpiece and I am very much ready for the next update. I will be becoming a monthly $10 soon once I'm financially aclimated.
I don't think you understand how much of a masterpiece that you guys have created. This is so beautifully written I actually teared up and felt emotions I haven't felt in a long time. This damn visual novel is so good, it rivals Nekojishi. Please, please for the love of god, keep working on it. My friend is your patreon, and honestly as soon as I can comfortably, I will become one too. You guys have made something so damn magnificent. Please, continue it.
when i first read your comment about it being better than Nekojishi i thought "no way not possible" but now that i have played it i have to agree 1000%. (not a typo i meant it)
Y do i get the filling amicus father was murdered by f old wolf and pls do not end this game now,i really like this game,playing this game i start to cry pls give us happy ENDING.and please give us more porn scene between amicus and my caracter
If anyone's not aware of what's happened, Adastra is going to be on a month hiatus after this month. So the creator can focus more on Smoke Room and dealing with his writer's block.
Hi, I love this game, the story, the ambianc, the characters, it's great. But ... there's just one thing I do not like too much: I know it's a visual novel, but slightly more choice would be really nice. For example, during the "event" that had to disappoint a lot, including me, it would have been nice to choose whether or not to forgive those responsible for our pain, even if afterwards we ended up forgiving, precisely . Because I find that the forgiveness that our character gives is much too fast. It is lied to by 3 times: the first, the main interest that says 2 thing 2 linked to the event, but the 2nd character says all the opposite, and this for the 2 previous lie. But the main character, although he notices it, says nothing at all. He is really stupid, or of an afflictive naivety ... It is said that forgiveness is divine, and in this kind of situation it is more than true. This game is so deep, that we are ready to play, so our emotions make the roller coaster XD. And the fact that his calm so quickly, when, for example, in my character's place, I will have forgiven it's true ... but it will have taken 2 or 3 days at least, given the situation .
I kind of like how its just telling a story right now. I never really liked the balance of choice in these games. There was always too much or too little but I'd rather have too little when it's pretty decently written rather than a good amount of choice with a sub-par story.
I hate the beginning where u attack Amicus! ... I want an option to attack him or not to.... I'd never hurt an alien like him in a million years! Even if I was kidnapped... I felt awful about that part where the mc hurt him Amicus could've died!

i love this game so much cant wait till next update
Look for [echoproject.adastra.game]. That's where the saves are.
Go into the "game" folder and copy the "saves" folder into another folder, download the latest version and put it in that "game" folder.
OK 1st I am getting the feeling that it's all gonna end with ether we die or we leave and never get to see Amicus or it was all a dream (i don't feel so much on the last one) 2nd I think it was kinda funny that the song Dancing in the Dunes is sung by Heqet the Egyptian goddess of fertility 3rd does any one know what Ahotep means in adastra I looked it up and in irl its a pharo and finally DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY ASTATOS BUT NOT ON PATREON PREFERABLY WITH THE ADASTRA CARDS. Pleas and thank you. p.s. pleas answer specific questions with designated number oh and last question about the astatos if any one could help my son put it on a Christmas list and i need to know where to find it not on patreon. hes 10
at first I was thinking that was unlikely until I remembered they made Echo
OK so not complaining (well I guess a little) and i know they said that they would be on hiatus but its already December and still no update does anyone have an idea as to when the next non-patreon update will be out?
Well the patreon update was published on Nov 20th I think. So I’m pretty sure the next public update is gonna happen before Dec 15th.
THANK YOU
It should be released today, at least that's what is says on patreon.
Yeah. It's like 3 AM for me right now, so it should be 6-9 PM anywhere in the US. One would expect it to be released by now.
Fuck Cato and praise Neferu.
Well, I would't mind to fuck Cato!
I'm finding the lack of choice a little frustrating. I just got to the scene where Amicus gets a little "handsy" with Neferu in the bath house and I'm honestly infuriated that I can't smack Amicus upside the head for potentially alienating (pun not intended) a potential ally.
Edit: Okay, that I couldn't agree to take a walk with Neferu and Alex is even more egregious. FFS this PC is an idiot. If Amicus loses the emperorship Neferu is the only one who can help him get home! Get in his good graces you numbskull!

What is the last version you've played?
If its 0.9(0.95 i think?)
On your file manager/explorer
Go to Android>data>adastra.game95
On that folder, select the folder named files then move it to adastra.game010
If the folder exists in adastra.game010
Just delete the existing first then do it again
I've already commented here about that and i think the developer is already seen it and in the next version, its fixed
Thank you. I figured it had already been answered, but I didn't see it and I wasn't gonna spend ages scrolling through the comments. I appreciate the help
Are we getting the full version of the game or is that just for patrons only? (I REALLY want it to be free xd)
;w; sad
when does the update come out for non patrons
(in a whispery tone) thank you
ıt still didnt come out
when's the new update?
The new update was just released for patrons today

glitch queen... that... j-just...... COOL im with you
Im So Hype To See The New Update And By The Way I Almost Cry BC What You Wrote Was Epic XD Pls Do Update It >;3 Hehehe...
I'm really liking the game so far, but will we have the opportunity to bond more with the other characters in the future? Or at least some options that don't lead to a relationship with Amicus?

I had to reinstall the file and play from my last save file. worked fine after that.
Copy your save files to a temporary folder then delete and redownload adastra then restore your saves
Wow, this novel is incredibly well done. Simply outstanding. This is pure magic!
BTW, they way politics is depicted... Bread and Circuses... The Latin heritage in all its... "splendour"?
This was one of the best things i have single-handedly ever played. this visual novel was amazing, i enjoyed every second of it. my heart busting and rushing wondering what happens, especially for poor Amicus. its a neat universe to delve in! I fear i might not play a game to beat this one.
Yikes. Guess who just spent an entire day binging the entire story up to the current chapter. Dear god, that was a trip.

That's unfortunate. This series is pretty well written and one of my favorites at the moment.

yea i didnt like that the avatar thats picked for us doesnt act anything like us. i'm all for peace, so i'd never go overboard like that lolz.
I hope the creator of this game actually listens to our ideas, and actually implements them into the game....
well for me i dont want to know whats coming, i like surprises. so i dont wanna implement any ideas my self because of that haha.
Really? Well I would kind of do the same thing as the mc
U must be truly evil and soulless if that's how u would treat Amicus if he was real and did that to u...
