Is this Post-Adastra Depression?

It was really really really good though.

I need fluffy things for those two now. Or I will die in a pit of misery.

I thinking about Adastra again and I think there is something I missed. Everyone seems to love the main relationship and i’m just here, feeling like it was rushed or nothing more than just a crush ( mostly from Amicus’ side ). I have nothing against the visual novel, I just don’t get why I don’t feel the same way than other people.

23 Republican Senators & 124 Congressmen signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court asking for a 50 state ban on mifepristone, a drug safer than tylenol that is standard treatment for abortion & miscarriages, "due to safety concerns". The brief DARES to argue that banning the life saving drug would save women from 'reproductive control'. (x) These 147 people would rather have women die of sepsis than let women control their own bodies. If your representatives are on this list, call them and tell their office you will be voting against them in the next election because they asked SCOTUS to throw the US medical drug system into chaos at the cost of American lives.

why does adastra deserve hate?

*sigh* I probably should have expected someone to ask this eventually, but if you really wanna know the gripes I have with the game, then stick around:

To start off, I just want to make it clear that I don’t hate it, but I definitely don’t think it should be praised as much as it is. I’m just a guy on the internet with an opinion

- For starters, the main relationship (Marco x Amicus) is just sooo juvenile and kinda dubious when you really think about it. Hell, the game starts with you getting kidnapped by amicus. No amount of good traits can make me think positively of or even emphasize with a character who STARTS OFF by kidnapping you and getting you into life threatening danger. But we’re just supposed to write it off as “hehehee big space himbo.” No. He’s not a himbo, he’s genuinely just a dumbass and a bad person, whether he realizes it or not.

He developed so little, if at all. In the beginning of the game, he thinks of you as nothing more than a dumb ape and still thinks that by the end. But he’s just like... in love with you now? Which has me questioning why he’s actively pursuing a relationship with a creature he doesn’t even believe is on the same intellectual level as him but whatever

Their relationship was so fake and unbelievable. Which is to be expected, bc it’s not really a relationship. It’s an extremely unhealthy power dynamic packaged as a “true love” story

- The writing is good but really bad at the same time. None of the character interactions feel natural and all the conflict just didn’t flow right. The writing is bad in the sense that the overall material is bad, but it’s only pushed up by the flowery wording, y’know? It’s like covering a bad smell with febreeze

- The characters themselves were nothing remarkable but OH MY GOD they did Virginia so dirty. This is a thing I’ve noticed with the echo project in general is that they really do the bare minimum with their female characters. And yes I know it’s a gay furry game targeted at gay furries, the women aren’t gonna be the main focus...

But like, you can still have good female characters...

Seriously, tell me one interesting thing about Virginia (or any echo project woman in general). You could swap them all out for guys and literally nothing would change.

- Neferu. I’m not gonna say too much about him because talking about him too much makes me angry, so I’ll just list off points:

> He pretty much forced himself on amicus in their first interaction (Yes, amicus got a boner but like, that’s not an excuse??)

> He’s kind of a home wrecker (though it was amicus’ fault, so I won’t harp on that too much. But he still used the situation to get sex out of him. Which of course is scumbag shit)

- I didn’t know where else to put this but this really bothered the fuck out of me:

the whole blackface metaphor they did as a joke. Like they literally had Marco put on makeup to look like tiger stripes and they straight up were just like “isn’t this blackface lol”

That was out of pocket and completely unnecessary! Actually, a lot of things were unnecessary. In my opinion, this entire VN was just a mess and just mediocre.

There’s a lot more, but I don’t feel like typing it all out lol. But yes, these are my thoughts on Adastra as a whole. I could also mention amicus simps and how annoying they are but I ain’t getting into all that lmao
