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.
I'll firstly start off by saying that this is the first "visual novel" I have ever experienced. I downloaded it because I thought the art looked cool, and that it might be a fun and light-hearted experience. I finished the game in about two days, and I am absolutely floored. I have a lot to say. Let's get into it!
Immediately I was totally engrossed in the story and the world. The characters are all wonderfully unique, intruiging and entertaining, all with their own desires or interests that push the events of the story forward. The plot can at first seem generic, but never felt dull or predictable to me, and as the (game? novel?) progresses it becomes very clear that the plot is anything but generic. It never lost its ability to shock me, and while at very rare times the structure, and hence the pacing, seemed a bit awkward, it was never enough of an issue to really distract me from the events of the story.
The dialogue and writing was wonderfully entertaining and obviously so carefully constructed for each character, and had me equal parts laughing and crying throughout the experience. I was honestly incredibly impressed with the level of intelligence and understanding of writing that is displayed throughout this visual novel, and it kept me totally engaged and invested in the characters and story throughout.
The art and music was absolutely enchanting, coming from an artist and musican/composer. The drawings were such lively depictions, that always wonderfully encapsulated their character's personalities and emotions. The background art was gorgeous, and always lent a real sense of personality and atmosphere to the location, owing to the amount of detail and care that the artist obviously put into every piece. I must mention though, that at some locations such as the beach, it was quite clear that the background image was just a photo with a filter over it, which somewhat detracted from the immersion within scenes taking place here, but you spend so little time there that it's something you immediately forget about when you move to the next set piece.
The music was simple, but for what it is it's marvellous - it's not meant to be a Mozart Symphony, it's simply meant to set and complement the mood of the scene, which it always does perfectly. Every piece was unique and catchy and despite the game being somewhere around a few hours long, depending on how you play it, they never got dull or annoying for me. Personally, I loved the music, especially the main menu theme. Perhaps it's bias coming from being a classical pianist, but the sparse piano melodies drifting through the air perfectly matched the profound themes that the game explored.
Speaking of, let me say that for a game/visual novel described as a furry romantic novel, I was not expecting to be confronted with such profound, intricate and high-concept themes. The idea of our many different cultures on Earth existing because of various alien races touching down on our planet throughout history is such an intriguing concept, and one that is teased throughout the game. There are a few references to a character who was a tiger named "Meera", of a people called the Hindo - a nod obviously to the culture of Hindu here on earth, associated often with tigers - largely because of it's geographical context. It is also clear throughout your time on Adastra that there is a definite Roman influence in many aspects of their society, from their clothing to architecture, which is further praise to the level of thought and detail put into the art. And of course exploring concepts of a higher power, or powers, is represented in a way I had never considered or seen before, which on it's own is impressive.
Overall, this is a fantastic game, and thank you for reading if you made it this far. If all visual novels are this good, I probably have found a new favourite genre. Although I feel that more likely, this one has just set the bar unfairly high for any contenders that follow it.
My utmost praise to the developers, artists, writers and composers - my final score is 8.5/10.
Same for being my first VN to ever be downloaded and I never regretted doing so. Literally laughed, cringed, smirked, sighed, cried, shooketh, and loved throughout this story very deeply. I just hold it stays that way when I start the .15 .
I made an itch.io account just to write a review of this game, which if you couldn't tell, is simply amazing. Overall, I have to give this VN a 10/10, with the deep story, rich backgrounds and sprites (all hail daddy Amicus), and full-fledged characters, there isn't a whole lot I can criticize here. The writing in Adastra is impeccable, it made me truly immersed in the story and connect emotionally with each character despite me not really having anything in common with any of them. Each moment in the story felt important, and nothing seemed like a filler bit to me. There were a few typos here and there, but that is to be expected with a visual novel of this depth and caliber. The MC did frustrate me with his behaviour at points, but when you're kidnapped by a drop-dead gorgeous space-wolf to a planet you know nothing about, it makes sense, but still frustrated me at times. Many scenes gave me a knot in my stomach leaving me worried for what would happen next, others made me feel relief, and a couple made me cry, but I'm trying to keep this somewhat spoiler-free, but when you play this VN, you'll understand what I mean. To wrap this up, download this VN and play it immediately. This was my first VN ever and it felt amazing to play through with such a colourful cast of characters, literally and figuratively. Seriously, go follow the lead artist Haps and check out all of his work, its amazing. The backgrounds also always took my breath away, serious props to the artist Blacksun, and also check out her artwork on her furaffinity. Great work EchoProject, I wish you the best in all of your endeavours.
i love a lot of things about this game. the fact that the mc is often kinda a dick head and we have no options around that is kinda frustrating, there isnt really many options at all let alone many the affect the story really. aside from that the art, characters and story are really good but that first bit is really my main peice of criticism for thi
yeah the fact that it takes the main character forever to develop is really disappointing, and even then he is still an ass when there isn't a reason to be. other than that the story is amazing though

"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? 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 😔
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).

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.

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.

The fact that you played this one first just set your expectations incredibly high, because this is THE BEST. visual novel I ever played :)))
Same for being my first VN to ever be downloaded and I never regretted doing so. Literally laughed, cringed, smirked, sighed, cried, shooketh, and loved throughout this story very deeply. I just hold it stays that way when I start the .15 .
Does anyone know how old alexios is? I cant find it in game, I'm just curious.

Ya, that happened to me 2, like YE 2 BIG BOIS
Hmm.....wait..."Average Session: A few seconds"...WHAT?
I made an itch.io account just to write a review of this game, which if you couldn't tell, is simply amazing. Overall, I have to give this VN a 10/10, with the deep story, rich backgrounds and sprites (all hail daddy Amicus), and full-fledged characters, there isn't a whole lot I can criticize here. The writing in Adastra is impeccable, it made me truly immersed in the story and connect emotionally with each character despite me not really having anything in common with any of them. Each moment in the story felt important, and nothing seemed like a filler bit to me. There were a few typos here and there, but that is to be expected with a visual novel of this depth and caliber. The MC did frustrate me with his behaviour at points, but when you're kidnapped by a drop-dead gorgeous space-wolf to a planet you know nothing about, it makes sense, but still frustrated me at times. Many scenes gave me a knot in my stomach leaving me worried for what would happen next, others made me feel relief, and a couple made me cry, but I'm trying to keep this somewhat spoiler-free, but when you play this VN, you'll understand what I mean. To wrap this up, download this VN and play it immediately. This was my first VN ever and it felt amazing to play through with such a colourful cast of characters, literally and figuratively. Seriously, go follow the lead artist Haps and check out all of his work, its amazing. The backgrounds also always took my breath away, serious props to the artist Blacksun, and also check out her artwork on her furaffinity. Great work EchoProject, I wish you the best in all of your endeavours.
Nice game.
i love a lot of things about this game. the fact that the mc is often kinda a dick head and we have no options around that is kinda frustrating, there isnt really many options at all let alone many the affect the story really. aside from that the art, characters and story are really good but that first bit is really my main peice of criticism for thi
INDEED HE IS XD
yeah the fact that it takes the main character forever to develop is really disappointing, and even then he is still an ass when there isn't a reason to be. other than that the story is amazing though
i was so pissed i had to go to hesttory to see it
I, just, love it. Its perfect and when it finally ends im just going to cry x,d
