I Was a Teenage Exocolonist

首先是好玩 特别好玩，很上头，分支结局自由度都很多很高，可以自由探索的地方很多，玩着玩着不小心一整天就过去了，卡牌部分并不难喜欢养成的可以无脑入 但是如果可以还是想打中评，卡牌到后期感觉重复疲惫还是小问题，可能是我个人原因没打出来也不太像欧美那边开放，里面的感情线貌似总是掺杂着三个人甚至多个人的感情（），哪怕是孤僻的dys也是有安排的，每次忙活了一整局到了后日谈感想最多的就是 啊？你俩为啥搞一起去了？？很像那种小圈子里互相谈来谈去救命。。 汉化在社区，现在也有大佬做的攻略了，除此之外别的没什么大问题总体还是很好玩！

This game is so much fun and explore the ideas of time travel so well. Characters are well written and the art is beautiful, and so is the planet and its fauna. The story is so much fun and has so many different branching paths. If you like anything similar to these aspects, would highly recommend.

A really good cosy game where the gameplay and choices really do matter, with pretty big consequences. I went through 3 walkthroughs back to back. The character (friends, family and everyone living in the colony) stories and motivations gets clearer as the player lives through each month to get to know them, and with each playthrough. The ending of the first playthrough is not meant to be optimal as we as players are still learning everything. I recommend staying on, because it does get better. The game motivates me for other routes, to find the best one. I found what I myself considered to be the best end, but I'm not even half through the achievements and story of other characters. It is always a good time, and I will definitely be playing this as my go-to.

There are several reasons why you might not want to play I Was A Teenage Exocolonist: its overt references to ‘woke’ themes; its treatment of distasteful topics such as the female menstrual cycle; the cloying nature of its artistic direction, both visually and in terms of content; the overwhelming presence of teenagers which, although hinted at in the title, is a disturbing element that cannot be ignored. If one or more of these elements is intolerably distasteful to you, you should set sail for other gaming shores, which are now more plentiful than ever. If, on the other hand, you are level-headed people who recognize the risks of uncritically embracing an ideology, whatever it may be; if you believe that a creative work should not simply give you what you want exactly as you want it, but should stir something in your mind and soul, even if it causes you discomfort; if you believe that a work should be able to tackle any subject without hiding behind pointless bigotry, then perhaps this game is for you. I Was A Teenage Exocolonist is essentially a gamebook which, although in some respects it doesn’t quite suit my taste, has the great merit of telling a story with a distinct authorial flair, unafraid to put forward its own style and vision, managing to bring together contrasting elements (you’ll be showered with handfuls of sweets and slaps, just as life would have it) into a coherent whole. The game has a science-fiction premise that is certainly not original, but it has its own unique features, which explore humanity both as individuals and as a society. The game incorporates a simple card game with a deck-building system to tackle the many challenges the protagonist faces throughout their story. Whilst the mechanics themselves are nothing out of the ordinary, the concept whereby each card is linked to an experience and its memory is intriguing, as is the idea that as you grow older, you lose the less useful memories and, consequently, their corresponding cards. If you enjoy choose-your-own-adventure books and narrative games, and love immersing yourself in a story, open to what it has to say and offer, this game is certainly a worthwhile experience, regardless of whether or not it suits your taste. I’ve just finished my first playthrough and the impression, looking at certain screens that show you the elements you’ve unlocked and those still unexplored, is that the game gives you great freedom of action, and this, for me, is always a very welcome feature. Whether or not you decide to play this game, never forget to show your loved ones how much you care.

This game shouldn’t be this good, truly. But I keep coming back and it lives rent free in my brain.

I love this game! A refreshing take on narrative RPGs that blends deckbuilding and dating sim elements. The characters are built with beautiful sensitivity and each have their own conflicts to explore alongside the player character. My favorite part of this game is how everything is built upon memory, destiny, the pressures of society, and identity. Narrative RPGs and dating/life sim games typically have multiple endings, and this game uses that to its advantage to strengthen its themes. It's thoughtfully made and I'm excited to unlock more with each playthrough!

This game made me cry in the best way.
