I Was a Teenage Exocolonist

Get ready for an out of this world adventure with I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, a sci fi simulation game that puts you right in the middle of an interplanetary survival story. Developed by Northway Games, this title drops you into the shoes of a young colonist whose mission to settle a new world goes totally sideways. Instead of building a shiny new home, you're left stranded on the wild, unpredictable planet of Vertumna IV with barely any supplies and a whole lot of danger lurking around every corner.

What makes this game so special is how it mixes exploration, crafting, and storytelling into one seamless experience. You’ll spend your days scavenging for resources like food, water, and materials all while trying to build shelter, craft tools, and maybe even befriend (or fend off) some of the planet’s bizarre alien creatures. The world is procedurally generated, which means no two playthroughs are exactly the same. Plus, the hand drawn art style gives everything a unique, almost dreamlike vibe that’s both beautiful and a little eerie.

But it’s not all about surviving alone. You’ll meet other characters who’ve also been stranded, each with their own personalities, secrets, and agendas. The choices you make in conversations and missions don’t just affect your relationships they can totally change how the story unfolds. Want to focus on building alliances? Go for it. Prefer to go rogue and tackle challenges solo? That’s an option too. There are even environmental puzzles and hidden secrets that reward curiosity and clever thinking.

That said, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist isn’t a walk in the park. The survival mechanics can be pretty tough, especially early on when every decision feels life or death. Some players might find the resource grinding a bit repetitive after a while, but if you’re into games that make you think, plan, and adapt, this one’s a gem. It’s emotional, immersive, and packed with enough surprises to keep you hooked until the very end.
