Adastra is a Sci-Fi visual novel where a wolf-furry alien abducts you deep into the galaxy. You have come to live with the future emperor of Adastra, the titular moon. Since you arrive as a race still unknown to them, you have no choice but to hide that you are an enlightened being for your own good.

Unseen Developer Text

Few scripts contain hidden messages left by the writer while writing the script. All other instances of hidden messages are engine generated text or are simply blank.

Unused Variables

There are a couple of variables mentioned in the script that do not affect the game.

• end_game3 may increase by 2 if the player defies the monitor's will and is indifferent when asked about the capability of Amicus. Note that there are only two proper endings in the game. The denial of said will also leads the player to the preceding death ending, which could have been more elaborate with this third one.
• galaxias can change the value to True if the player confirms when asked about the capability of Amicus.
• fours, fives, sixs, sevens, eights, nines, tens, elevens, twelves, and thirteens are all set to False by default. These are most likely dummy variables created to store choices during options.
