I Was a Teenage Exocolonist

the Stanley Parable if it was a sci-fi visual novel with actual human interaction, loads of emotional weight, and if each loop took 5 hours instead of 5-15 minutes. also incredibly visually enjoyable :) 4.5/5

喜欢大家，好久没有玩到这么让我投入的游戏了 [spoiler] 一周目是dys的私奔结局，家sol一定要和dys以及sym好好的呀！此游戏的最萌三人组来了 [/spoiler]

This game was the first one I bought on Steam and will always have a very dear place in my heart. The message is so moving, there are so many paths to take in life, and it also leads you to some clear conclusions about the morality of (exo)colonization. I loved being able to change my gender at any point, and all of the different romanceable characters were clearly defined and very fun to build relationships with. And the art is gorgeous!

An insane amount of replay potential. All characters and routes are super interesting and fun, and bring so many new events and content. Love the story, probably the most inclusive game to ever exist.

Honestly the best written video game video game I've played in forever Caviat is it's heavily based on replaying through the story to understand all of it, however it doesn't feel like a slog as there are a bazillion impactful choices you can make

Phenomanal Story, Amaazing Visuals, Terrible romantic interests If you like deckbuilding, and story games that aren't just an animated novel, you will love this! Its heartbreaking as well as heartwarming and has near flawlessly combined character growth mechanics with deckbuilding mechanics. At the time of writing this I have over 80 hours on the game and still haven't done half the storylines you can do with this game. I always buy games when they're on sale as they're rarely worth their wholesale value, but I must say, this game is worth its full price. However, if you are looking for a romantic story, this just isn't it. There is no balance whatsoever between the male options and the female options. All of the guys have predetermined NPCs that they go together with better than you. Except for one, who is a huge narcissist that you have to spend the whole game worshiping to get the love scene with him. If that's your cup of tea, than congrats he's as well written as everything else, but if not I am afraid you're sol. The all of the dateable females are well written and have individual personalities, I'll admit I have only dated the male options, but I imagine you have to fight as hard to end up with a female as I did with one of the dudes.
