Khemia
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
(Khemia contains themes of an adult nature - you must be 18 or older to play)
Things have changed on Adastra. The Human's arrival has altered the political course of the entire galaxy. After his departure, the sapients he came to know on the wolven moon are left guessing as to what needs to be done next. The Parents, the supposedly all-knowing, all-powerful beings controlling the Galaxias, have a plan, one known only to them , but requiring all sapient effort. It's becoming more and more suspicious, and Scipio, a young wolf on a diplomatic mission to Khemia, starts to wonder if these Parents really do hold all the answers. He starts to wonder if there are Others.
Khemia is a direct sequel to Adastra.

So glad to see this coming back, and I adore the new spritework too. I get the style change may be controversial for some, but the way Haps draws characters and especially the CGs now blows me away, he's come so far over the years. Neferu's fantastic poses do so well at capturing his eccentric personality.
Hope the team enjoys coming back to this tale, I wish em all the best, and eagerly await more c:
dude i wish if they used the sprites from Interea.
I like the update for the most part, but the one change I wasn't really fond of was the change of making Scipio trip out because Brunis blew Pap at him rather than accepting the offer to try it and becoming overwhelmed after using it... The change just makes Brunis seem like an inconsiderate dick in a sense for doing something not just without Scipio's consent, but with him explicitly refusing the offer initially. It also takes away from the aspect of Scipio stepping out of his comfort zone leading to him being confronted by his fears of thef unknown as he enters an unfamiliar territory. Instead it just feels kind of random and forced with how it happens in the updated version.
I get that the new decision was probably to avoid making it a story that had a focus on substance use themes, but it could still be included without the substance use being a main focul point and instead just allowing it to be a tool to help convey the overall concepts of the story during this one scene. Essentially it would be similar to how Cassius used the stuff in the original to Adastra story attempting to contact The parents that ended up helping Marco to meet the parents.
Anyways besides that I think the new story and all the new illustrations are awesome! Keep up the amazing work :D
Excited for Khemia being back in the update cycle! Enjoying the new look of the sprites, and the new "cutscenes"!! I'm also excited about the changes to the story and curious to see where things will go with the slightly different direction. :3c
(I do wonder though, did our favourite tigress get a sprite update too? It seemed to be the same one, if I'm not mistaken.)
I cannot wait for the next update! FINALLY getting to see what Khemia's like. I loved that you guys combined the original 2 parts into one big one for this new update, Thank you
Love the new art! So excited to finally return to this universe after so many years since Adastra. The Android build seems to have a bug where music will cut off and restart instead of finishing and looping properly, anyone else had the same issue?
If I may ask a 1 or 2 + more questions without seeming to be/(ing) too much of a bother or trouble to you in asking this question here and now at this time, do you plan to apply the same "artwork rework" to your other visual novel (a.k.a. https://echoproject.itch.io/interea)?
Mainly in part of the sense that it is almost like a continuation of this VN here (https://echoproject.itch.io/khemia) in some shape or form one way or another (at least from how I see it from my perspective) as it focuses on how both Amicus and Marco spend their remaining time together before the human has to leave for Earth again.
Additionally, do you have any plans to redo, edit, change, or revise the story for that visual novel, whether at the beginning or based on what you currently already have available on that visual novel there (https://echoproject.itch.io/interea) specifically?
Not only that, but perhaps your most popular and well-known visual novel (also known as https://echoproject.itch.io/adastra) could also benefit from those improvements as well (?). That may involve you doing an "artwork rework" again or a complete redo, edit, change, or revision of the story. Enhancing it with more choices, options, alternative storylines, and different endings could greatly enrich the entire experience of the VN than ever before—only if you are interested in pursuing that type of ambition for it at all (?).
bro really wants Adastra: 2
I want to express how much I enjoy, respect, and admire the whole brand-new look and feel of your visual novel!
The construction, concept, format, style, and overall design are fantastic and possibly go even further than that, much more so than how it had started beforehand!
Not only that, but they also show much more attention to detail and an improvement next to how it looked previously from a while ago compared to how your first/previous/last visual novel that is known as "Adastra" had begun and then got finished up some time ago after you first uploaded/posted this VN afterward!
That's not to say that the previous artwork or character designs were necessarily bad either (in between both of those visual novels a.k.a. https://echoproject.itch.io/adastra, https://echoproject.itch.io/khemia); they were all still great, whether set on another planet, a spaceship, or anywhere else, but it seems like there was more work, energy, emotion, and several other things put into this that make it 10 to 100 times or even more so better than before as compared to the last version of "Khemia".
With that said and done, though, I’m just glad to see that the novel will start receiving new chapters and updates again. It’s exciting that it will continue from your other visual novel, Adastra. I was becoming worried that it might remain on a permanent hiatus, leaving the story unfinished forever and keeping us in the unknown about what will happen next for the rest of our lifespans leading up to us now never finding out what will happen to the characters until at the end of our life and perhaps even until the end of time as well (!).
Neferu, my beloved! You've finally returned!
Hi
I'm a representative of the "Fluffy Paw"(https://boosty.to/ruwoolf), visual novel translation team of enthusiasts. We are interested in this visual novel and would like to work on its translation into Russian. I'm writing to ask for your permission to translate your visual novel.
Without any doubts, our side is ready to assure :
1) That we won`t translate or publish your novel builds if they are considered in paid access on your Patreon (or other recourses). We translate and publish only public builds of novels.
2) If you are interested in a Russian translation, we will also be able to send you tl russian files so that you can directly implement the translation into your work.
silly!!!
weird, the update didn't show up in my feed
why did this not show up on my feed?
i only noticed this update due to it reaching my email but i saw nothing im ny feed even tho i follow echo
OMG finally the team will work on adastra novel universe again.
We want Amicus's belly back!
Excluding Virginia i'm not a big fan of the new sprites, Amicus looks like a generic buff dude, Brunis looks like a australian hillbilly and Neferu reminds me of Dio for some reason. Besides that everything else is as good if not better then previous updates, can't wait for next update
Oh god I am so excited for this! I hope we get to see some more planets based on other cultures. I think the most interesting to try would be Native American and Mayan, and to maybe let them find out what happened to their correspondant cultures on Earth.
I really, really am enjoying the new update, and man, that scene when Scipio is cowering in fear while covering his mane is SO heartbreaking to read. I wish I could hug him 😭😭😭
I'm glad this is being started up again, but did they REALLY have to make Amicus snatched like that...
They turned him into Ozempicus oh brother
New Neferu design is peak, he looks amazing
If only we could date him
only sprite I actually like of him LOL
Amicus has lost his gut. Can't have anything
who did the character design and images ?
Haps is the artist in charge of illustrating the 3 novels
Just this one now. He resigned from Cleaved and the other one for mental health reasons. Being the main(?) artist on multiple VNs as well as other personal stuff is stressful.
Im confused i finished Adastra but i started reading Interea after should i move to this then Intera or Khemia i want to read in order
Internea is happens during adastra is a little vacation Marco and Amicus Had before departing, Khemia is a Spinoff(?) it follows Neferu and Scipicio (a new wolf) on Neferu´s planet i think this is after Adastra
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!
I'm confused about which part I should play first. Can anyone answer me? I'm playing and I'm confused.
Play adastra first then this, when it comes out :)
Just start from the beginning of the newest build
Only saying that because if I was into the story and got hit with end of early access I would die inside
Thank you very much, I will be able to play correctly thanks to you.
Finally achieved the impossible dream
YYYYYYEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH BABYYYYY
THATS WHAT WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR
dose anyone know what re-release means???? Dose that mean its done????
I reworded it as a "rework" and gave a bit more description in the dev log that hopefully makes things clearer.
oh ok, thank you!
(also THANK YOU just in general)
After all these years of waiting... Finally. Our Jackal Prince and Fluffy Boy return.
Khemia is back! ^^
AAAH
Omg im gonna cry finnaly
FIRST!
Hi, there. The website says this project was updated 4 hrs ago, but I don't see where I can download it...
But why would it still say Khemia 2? My guess is it's referring to the page and not that actual project
Does anyone know why the first overhauled build that was out on patreon back at the end of November 2024 still hasn't been publicly released yet?!
português?
Não há nenhuma versão oficial em português. Mas se a memória não me falha, há uma versão traduzida por fãs num post do reddit. Acredito que somente para a versão de PC
Tem uma pagina aq no Itch que contem uma copia de Adastra e Khemia em português, irei repassa-la para voce, só tem um problema, Khemia só é posivel jogar em pc:

wow the comments are kinda mean but i hope everything is okay with the devs. I feel like everyone is stressed out because of recent…political events. SO to all who read these VN’s be patient and don’t be a dick its not good for your soul. Or option two. Make your own to fill in the gap Of not having a vn to read. Stop being mean to each other. Seriouslly they’re authors not miracle workers….
