Ad Astra is Latin for "To the Stars" and this story and its writer have totally sent me into the stars with this story. IT was Epic. Can not wait to see what else is in-store in its sequel.
Created an account JUST so I could comment. Going into this, I was not expecting to end up literally sobbing in bed for two hours at the ending (I wish I was joking). I never thought I'd be thanking someone for making me bawl my eyes out, but here I am. Easily the best visual novel I've ever played. Can't wait to see how much I'll cry at your other games. <3
are you playing on android? I've read before that renpy doesn't recognize the google keyboard, so probably you'll need to download another one to your phone
Me too, i dont know why, i cannot find any 18+ vn even if i made an account, maybe you have to take a look in the settings or people just have to fix their site
Edit: oh nevermind, i just saw you changed something in the settings
Going to be honest, downloaded it for wank material, didn't find much, but OMG, I was enthralled by the story. For a story to make you feel such attachment to the characters makes this absolutely beautiful. 10/10 Great story, fuck Cato
I loved and LIVED for the game, it made me cry, it made me laught and it make me feel love for every character. I would love to become a patron but im not working at the moment. As soon as I get money ill try to support this piece of ART!!!! (P.s cant wait for the sequel!!)❤❤
To everyone that finished Adastra, the sequel "Khemia" is available trough early access patreon (3$). Public releases are usually published to itch 2 weeks later. More info here:
Why would you post this? Do you think the creators of something this great don't deserve the 3$ if you want to see it 2 weeks ahead? They even release it for free after said time. People like you are the reason creators get frustrated.
woah, calm down, i just wanted to let everyone knows that there is a second part of this game, because there is some people that doesn't knows about this
See my above comment. This is how your post could have looked like. As you still didn't edit your original post, you are probably well aware that your link leads to an unofficial mirror or something that shouldn't be public yet. Thus pirated.
Yes, the link you provided leads to pirated material. This is disrespect to the creators of this wonderful VN. They put their heart and soul into it. Posting the link you posted is just a big f*ck you to the creators.
I finally got the good ending. Im absolutley heartbroken that they wont see each other for so long. I just want my amicus. But iam curious. Will it be update soon?
Just have to comment and say this has taken over my life. I absolutely adored this VN and I'm so happy that it exists. It was a roller-coaster of emotions, and I'm forever grateful for having experienced it.
I hope that they will make a second game of Adastra. The story of the game made me cry. It's a beatiuful story and heart breaking. Everytime if i look at the pic of Amicus sitting on his throne, I start crying. 😭
I just hope that they will make a second game of Adastra.
found out theres a bad ending via some less than ethical experimentation, as in, being a dick with every possilble choice, though i dont know which exact one causes it
i got Ending B on the first try, i don't think the answers make him act like a dick though. you just need to answer negatively for two answers i believe I didn't trust the parents but the characters actions mostly remain the same
This novel did some things to me. I cried, I was outraged, I was joyous, and I was occasionally downright paranoid. (For good reason!) All the emotion that this masterpiece made me feel cannot be put into just one comment. But, I also must point out that all these spectacular emotions that made this story so grand, are also my biggest problem. Because of this story I find that I am now unable to sleep, eat, drink, or do much of anything. I find that in their stead, all I can do is think about the many thoughts that this incredible story has provoked. Thoughts such as whether I will ever find a partnership, relationship, whatever the title may be, as pure and sweet and perfect as the one MC and Amicus share, and will enjoy when their missions are finished. Another thought is what lies in store for me at the end. If I do find someone, I know I wont be able to spend over 300 years with them, but after we depart this world, would it be possible for us to drift peacefully together, reliving the best moments of our life together? Is there anything waiting after the end at all? What about the possibility of life beyond our world? It is close minded of us to believe that we are the only living beings in the cosmos. What are the odds of the other life forms out being similar to those depicted in this novel? Slim, I'm sure, but never EVER zero. In all honesty, I feel that I could fill a book with just the ponderings that this experience has left me with. Last thing, and the most minute of all. This may sound dumb, but if MC and Amicus get to meet in the new game (Khemia, I believe it is called), I hope MC can use the name I gave him. I know that MC is not my character, and I am just sort of spectating on the author and MC's story, but in my eyes, Amicus did not fall in love with "Marco", he fell in love with the character whose name directly ties to the emotion of the story for me. I don't know if this will reach anyone of import as far as this story goes, but if it does, I would like to let them know how incredible this world they've created is. Thank you for this experience, and thank you for reading my whole rant if you did.
Hey man, this is exactly how I felt, the scene where we see the future absolutely broke me. Seeing a story like that makes real life seem hopeless by comparison, I'm so sad that I will never get to experience anything like that. I don't know if replying to comments sends a notification or anything but I'd love to talk about it more, I'll try to find you.
Hi! I was kind of worried that no one really got it... I'd love to carry on this conversation! Any preferences on how? Sadly there isn't a direct message feature in here I don't think.
Hey, I managed to add some contact info to my user page, feel free to do the same if you want me to contact you. Fortunately the feelings the game left me feel less raw now but I'm still interested in talking about it with someone.
what appears to have been supposed to be suspicous is written suspicions left to reflect in the garden after alex leaves with cato, it obviously isnt an issue but i just want it to be known in case changes want to be made ^_^

I cannot put into words how the ending I got made me feel
Which ending was it? The good ending?
The bad one
Does anyone know how much time goes from the history of adastra to the history of khemia?
3 years, if i don't remember it wrong.
Ok thanks
i just finished and.. i bawled like a child, this was.. it was something spectacular. somehow profoundly sad, and joyous at the same time, beautiful.
I just finished adastra and it was an awesome experience the story is beautifull i cry at the end I hope we can see more of amicus and the human
Keep the hard work i will be waiting impatiently for your next work, good job keep the hard work

I just downloaded build 17 and it wont let me go past the name stage after I type in a name. Does any1 know a solution?
are you playing on android? I've read before that renpy doesn't recognize the google keyboard, so probably you'll need to download another one to your phone
worked fine for me
Anybody know if khemia is avaliable in android ? I was searching but i dont find anything ;-;
It's available on their Patreon.
Spanish
when will the next update comes in. im excited.
For Adastra ?
Adastra is completed. The sequel, Khemia, should be out to the public very soon!
i played it when it wasn't released yet xD(kinda short but still enjoyed it tho)
Well so far only two chapters had been released so I truly don't know what happens in the 5th :).
Two things are certains.
Neferu has the knack to get himself into troubles and Virginia sure know how to rule above her bros...;)
The best visual novel I have ever play I'm waiting despairingly khemia!! :3
Uh... im playing on android and i cant go past the "whats your name?" Thing...
this game is not complete yet right? It cant end on the first day back right? please telll me there will be more!
Adastra is complete unfortunately.
Hopefully, the sequel is out on Patreon. Khemia just began and Neferu is already into troubles (as well as dudes but we all know that already...)
So no more about our wolf? aww that makes me so sad, i hope to see a part 2 of that story
Don't worry. Our loving emperor is one of the main character of Khemia, the sequel.
Hosting a giveaway of this custom Adastra-Sign for all fans of this absolutely great visual novel ❤️ https://twitter.com/Tronnic92/status/1300110935747702786?s=19
did you made it with bronze and steel ? i work metal so i'm kinda interested in your art piece
It is 3D Printed. =)
Good Job I followed you on twitter :)
Why can't I find this when i search for it on itch.io?
Good question. Back then I found it trough twitter or google.
Had to check a box in my settings. All is well now.
Me too, i dont know why, i cannot find any 18+ vn even if i made an account, maybe you have to take a look in the settings or people just have to fix their site
Edit: oh nevermind, i just saw you changed something in the settings
And also, the mobile version of the site (mine at least) doesnt have a search bar, so i have to switch to the desktop version
It does, but it's hard to find
Going to be honest, downloaded it for wank material, didn't find much, but OMG, I was enthralled by the story. For a story to make you feel such attachment to the characters makes this absolutely beautiful. 10/10 Great story, fuck Cato

Totally agree with everything you just said
God(Parents) I hope there is more! I loved it and hated that it ends without the happy ending....assuming its really the end.
It was the end for Adastra. The sequel Khemia started last month for Patreons first.
To everyone that finished Adastra, the sequel "Khemia" is available trough early access patreon (3$). Public releases are usually published to itch 2 weeks later. More info here:
https://twitter.com/EchoTheVN/status/1297978861099991040
Can highly recommend it! <3
I am definitely looking forward to it.
Hey, do you know if sometime they will release it free?
September 7ish, according to the tweet from the twitter link I posted above <3
Why would you post this? Do you think the creators of something this great don't deserve the 3$ if you want to see it 2 weeks ahead? They even release it for free after said time. People like you are the reason creators get frustrated.
Report the comment if it's something bad
I did. But itch mods are slow.
woah, calm down, i just wanted to let everyone knows that there is a second part of this game, because there is some people that doesn't knows about this
See my above comment. This is how your post could have looked like. As you still didn't edit your original post, you are probably well aware that your link leads to an unofficial mirror or something that shouldn't be public yet. Thus pirated.
So you want me to delete my comment? Because i though it was going to be cool if i let the others about this
Yes, the link you provided leads to pirated material. This is disrespect to the creators of this wonderful VN. They put their heart and soul into it. Posting the link you posted is just a big f*ck you to the creators.
Yes, do not post links to pirated content on our site or you will get banned. Thanks for understanding
Sequel Here I Come!
Sequel : Khemian (on going/not finish)
Wait wut? There is a sequel ??

Well that settles it. Im becoming a patreon
I think that's 3$ well spent to support something this good <3
I finally got the good ending. Im absolutley heartbroken that they wont see each other for so long. I just want my amicus. But iam curious. Will it be update soon?
No, the story ends here. Fortunately, the sequel is out now at least for Patreons.
I think they Will tie it togheter nicely. Hopefully it enda well with them being back togheter
I guess I got the good ending straight off the bat. I don't want to see a bad ending, it hurts me that there is a bad ending.
I LOVE EVERY BIT OF THIS STORY!!

made me cry 17 times (even when i finish it) just by thinking about it made me cry.
the studio did an amazing job and im proud of yall
:,))))))))
Absolutely agree
Stockholm Syndrome: The Game
Mmm not really, it doesnt fit all the criteria, you can look it up. And many people believe its not even real.
Amicus POV: Lima Syndrome
Just have to comment and say this has taken over my life. I absolutely adored this VN and I'm so happy that it exists. It was a roller-coaster of emotions, and I'm forever grateful for having experienced it.
ugh i love my wolf himbo
the FLAVOR
I know all stories have an ending but I wasn't ready for it to end 😫
I hope that they will make a second game of Adastra. The story of the game made me cry. It's a beatiuful story and heart breaking. Everytime if i look at the pic of Amicus sitting on his throne, I start crying. 😭

They do.
Khemia is the sequel of Adastra and is already available on their patreon.
found out theres a bad ending via some less than ethical experimentation, as in, being a dick with every possilble choice, though i dont know which exact one causes it
Yeah, I don't have the heart to do ending B so I just watched someone on yt do it and I felt extremely uncomfortable throughout the whole thing.
i got Ending B on the first try, i don't think the answers make him act like a dick though. you just need to answer negatively for two answers i believe I didn't trust the parents but the characters actions mostly remain the same
