I Was a Teenage Exocolonist

I'm in love with this game I swear omg If you love visual novels where your choices truly matter then look no further ! Plus the different romantic routes are all so interesting (at least the one ive played so far) AND the mechanics of the game?! amazingg , I love when you have to do tasks to improve your stats to then unlock more and more lore/stuff like this is always so much fun Also the artstyle is simply stunning, it's so beautiful, and the whole atmoshpere is perfect too Like if u like visual novels w/ romance choices and deep interesting lore and u get to develop your own character (kinda) then yeah I definitely recommend this game :)

I have played this game twice now (yes, I immediately started again after the first go around lol) and I still want to play more! There are more than 20 different endings to this game and you learn more about each character each playthrough. I recommend going into this game completely blind and stand by your choices the first time you play - as in don't reload a previous save even though you REALLY want to after bad things happen lol. You will not always like the results, but it will still be tons of fun. The music is perfect and graphics are fun. It's a point and click game so anyone is able to play it. It's really all about the choices you make. Choose wisely!

This game is an absolute masterpiece. It's a heavily decision orientated game where your actions matter and can affect you directly or indirectly, and has incredible replayability. 10/10 highly recommend.

It's been a while since I played! This was a rollercoaster of emotions for me... Someone broke my heart really bad and I ugly cried myself to sleep (for real) Couldn't even stand looking at the game around that time 😂 Highly recommend

SPOILER MENTIONS: This game is hands down one of my absolute favourites. The art is phenomenal and Mei did a fantastic job bringing the characters, the illustrations, backgrounds and xenoflora/xenofauna to life. The characters are fantastic and diverse, they are so incredibly human. What that means to me is, they can make some awful choices but also while doing so want to take care of, protect, show love for others. No character is 100% bad (maybe besides Lum but that's fine) OR 100% good (although, Tammy is a super sweetheart). They just exist and are trying to survive and it leads to show what humans can do when but in these situations. Your choices are important, incredibly so and the thing I enjoy is that, you can play according to your own moral compass but you also can challenge yourself by choosing the opposite (and if you wanna 100% this game, unfortunately, you gotta become a fascist and have the potential to bully other characters). It's a safe way to show humanity with all its faults and all its strength. There's extremists in every direction, there's characters who aren't the same after events. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! ||If you don't manage to save your father by curing the shimmer but are able to stop the famine and save your mother, she will never be quite the same and will refuse to mourn or talk with you about your dad, she'll just continue to work and work which can leave Sol feeling abandoned. (I could be mistaken and this happens eventually but to my knowledge this does not happen.) If you save your dad but not your mother, he'll mourn with you, he'll chat with you and continue to be cheerful (after a period of time post mourning) and be your biggest support. I think people unfairly dislike Flulu because of this, I love her character more because to me, she's doing her best with the skills and resources she has. Unfortunately, there is very limited mental health support for the people of Stratos and Flulu has so much trauma, pain and grief she just puts everything into her work. Workaholism is seen in most characters in my opinion. There is no one to do councilling for a long while with Stratos because of the unfortunate and untimely demise of the woman who had that job.|| You have characters who are hypocritical, characters that are incredibly extreme in some of their actions but you have the constant choice to try to solve and help mend issues in-between characters. You as the player have that power, your choices matter. You will not like everyone, that's by design but I can tell you that if you don't keep playing and playing, challenging your prespections of those characters, you will never fully comprehend the utter beauty and sheer humanity of them and the world. I think some people want their characters incredibly black and white, good or evil but you're not going to fi d that here. What you're going to find is the grey, the middle ground, the true meanings of Ying & Yang. All of it in a fantastical melancholic package of total emotional turmoil and an ambition to replay, again and again and again. I cannot praise this game enough. Please do yourself a favour and play this game. Play it as much as you can and explore all of the routes, challenge your biases and own morals to have fun in this fictional masterpiece.

Jogo muito divertido e viciante. Já estou na segunda run e não consigo largar

What a remarkable game. The title is misleading (to me); this is a triumph of storytelling, world building, and thoughtful design. I've played it through probably 6 times and although I definitely have uncovered the major stuff, I love finding new things each go-around. My main critique is that the politics and heavy-hitting topics are very weakly addressed. There are mentions of mutual aid, capitalism, climate crisis, and power structures, but none of them are fully fleshed out, there are very few actual consequences to anything, and the discussions take a full backseat to the interpersonal dynamics between characters. What initially appeared to be a game about revolution, living harmoniously with nature, and rectifying failed practices on Earth ended up very much feeling like a cozy game all the way through. I think the developers are capable of amazing things and I really hope they take their skills and be BOLD with their messaging in future games. These are important topics, and there's a huge audience of players looking for them. No more milquetoast politics!

Magnifique, original, superbement écrit, malin. La bande-son est géniale aussi. Mon coup de coeur de l'année. J'y repense beaucoup, longtemps après l'avoir fini.

This tiny game feels so self-contained on the first playthrough. You do some science, make some friends, and lose a lot of people to a planet that seems both beautiful and dangerous. If you stop here, it is a lovely little tale of humanity overcoming sorrow. Don't stop there. Play again, please. Immediately after you start again, the world opens up and expands until it is so large you can barely believe you got a glimpse of it the first time.
