I Was a Teenage Exocolonist

I have played this game over and over again, and every time I wish it never ended, or that it had even more endings I could find. If I could lose my memories just to experience playing this game for the first time again, I would do it in a heartbeat. Just saying that this game is incredible would be an understatement, because the art, story, atmosphere, and emotional journey I experienced in this game is second to none. I desperately need more games like this.

Absolute Masterpiece. Simple but satisfying mechanics. Clever framing device creating massive replayability. Fantastically written and lovable characters. Brutally sad and deeply moving. 10/10

I love this game, I love the storytelling. Makes me want to sob sometimes. Wicked cool.

First of all don't get this game if you have any intentions of sleeping. Got this game and ended up staying up all night without even realizing. This game is so incredibly good. I've been looking for a good life sim for a while now and stumbled upon this. I've already played one life and am making my way through my second and there is still so much more new content to explore. 10/10

After my second playthrough, I said I'd take a break to play something else. I went and had lunch, came back, and started a third playthrough. IWATE has phenomenal storytelling paired with a refreshing mix of choices-matter visual novel and deck builder gameplay. Though the character tropes felt a bit tired, the narrative elements and gameplay mechanics far exceeded my expectations. IWATE has remarkable replay value and such a wide variety of endings that everyone is sure to find one that satisfies.

I feel like this game needs a review, with the sudden surge of interest. It's a lovely game with a unique art-style, and world-building that I've not seen represented in a lot of other games. You're rewarded for exploring the game, and experiencing different things, each character you speak to is interesting and fleshed out, and you really do feel a part of a "space colony". It takes a lovely approach to different avenues of life as well from child-rearing, to LGBTQ+, even how one experiences and approaches death. Well worth a playthrough, but for the full experience I recommend at least three playthroughs minimum.

i still havent quite finished my first playthrough of this game but so far it has been almost everything ive ever wanted from a non open world sandbox game absolutely recommend this to anyone on the fence about buying it

This game made me cry right at the beginning and then again at the end. Truly a beautiful story where your choices have consequences and the characters are very complex and, some, hard to love. I'm definitely interested in a second playthrough.

I got this game on a whim and oh my goodness am I so glad I did that. I'm currently on my third play-through and I've only had this game for like, three days. The music and visuals are already fabulous but combined with the captivating card game elements to the exploration this game is non stop fun. the story is also really well done, pretty much everything you do has a tangible impact later down the line in the ten in-game years you play through. Literally my only small gripe with the game is there are some select events that the games makes you think you can have an impact on, when in reality they happen regardless of if you win/lose the card battle. I love this game oh so much- if you're on the fence about getting it, I highly recommend you give it a shot! If you enjoy visual novels and deck building a games with a heavy dose of sci-fi and character, this is totally your jam!

Great plot, good mechanics, lots of replayability.

An endearing game with multiple endings (including New Game+ features), this game encourages replay and exploration for a wondrous and whimsical journey. It is a tale full of hardship, strife, joy, and growth. The game systems are very wide and allow for a lot of experimentation. There are over 25+ endings to explore and engage with based on your decisions and entire plot threads which can go unexplored in any one given run due to the limited time frame you are given. It is a game which expresses the value of life and its fleeting nature through its design, making it more endearing over time. Your path is your own and I look forward to exploring many more in additional games of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist.

This game owned my soul for 50 hours. I kept going back for more, frantically trying to change outcomes and save the people I loved. Pro-environment, anti-fascist, gender/sexuality diverse characters you will fall in love with, I can't love this game more. This is one of my favorite games I've ever played.

Really neat concept that falls short in some tiny ways that made it hard for me to sink too many hours into it. I wish a lot of it was better than it is, but I do appreciate that this game exists. The characters are all really charming, and I found myself very excited to learn about them as I played more. Same goes for the colony itself, the Earth we left behind, and the planet we ended up on. I wish most of the systems were more complicated and less repetitive than they actually are, is all.

It has been few years since I first played the game..and I am still finding similar games to this one. Love this game and wish I can time travel back to the day I first played this. Really recommend when you are sick of other games, nothing to do and/or need some relaxation but still want to have fun and adventure!

You know, when you're so attached to fictional characters or universe and when you finish the media (may it be books, films, series or games) it leaves you feeling a bit empty? That's one of them. It's so good that it hurts when it ends...

Somehow, this game never leaves me. It's always in the back of my mind. I love the how it does content warnings. I love the visuals. I enjoyed the story. It's a great way to meditate on who you are and why you've become the person you are. In my opinion it's not the best story in the world or anything, but it's worth playing. If you're interested, it's worth trying.

This might be the best game I have ever played, It can be very sad though so pay attention to the content warnings.

Usually not a big fan of having to replay a game to be able to get "the" ending (unless you're using a guide) but this is sooo good. Great story, adorable characters and all the right vibes :3 Also syd is precious, must be protected at all costs.

What the fuck did I just play... Literally transcending right now. 10/10 will spend a month resting in my room to get all 29 endings :) EASILY worth full price. Hell, I'd pay AAA price for this

talented. brilliant. incredible. amazing. show stopping. spectacular. never the same. totally unique. completely not ever been done before.

This game was an unexpected favourite of mine from last year. All the characters are unique and fully fleshed out with compelling arcs if you take the time to get to know them. Tons of choices and branching paths, but the game does start to feel very repetitive by the time you're on your third playthrough. Very cute art style and great music. Worth checking out if you like sci-fi, RPGs and coming-of-age stories.

absolutely lovely art and story, with many different paths to take. it can take some dark turns (as warned as well) but definitely a 10/10 game if you enjoy visual novelish, and deck builder card games. easily worth full price

Interesting story and fun universe, I don't want to spoil much, as the discovery is part of the fun, however; my one gripe, if you can really call it that, is that this game seems much more in favor of non traditional relationships. If you are a monogamous type of person who wants a rich romance with any of these charming characters, I would say... tread with caution, it seems more geared toward poly-amorous, ace, or A romantic types, while I don't see these as a bad thing, I can't say it was my cup of tea, I like sweet romances, but I didn't quite find that here, so if you are wanting something like that, I'd steer clear. If those things do interest you, I'd say you're in for a treat. That being said I enjoyed my time in this universe, though I can't say I am completely content with the endings, but that's a matter of opinion I suppose.

I LOVVVEEEE THIS GAME!!!!! I really recommend it, it has hours of content and very replay worthy.

It is much less cozy than it looks, but it is very, very good.

played it in one day (about 7-8h in my life) its sooo good. I love how many different choices you can make. worth it i prommis. like the art? can we talk about that pls? sooo Beautyful.

I've only done one playthrough so far but I had a great time and look forward to coming back for a better ending soon. The characters are great, you'll definitely have your favourites.

THIS SHIT CHANGED MY BRAIN! Very much worth the price and so so so much to do

One of my favorite games of all time, have purchased it twice on 2 platforms. Adore, adore, adore it. Highly recommend.
