Spend your teenage years on an alien planet in this narrative life sim with card-based battles. Explore, grow up, and fall in love. The choices you make and skills you master over ten years will determine the course of your life and the survival of your colony.

## About This Game
Exocolonist is still in development, aiming for release in early 2021.
Many things may change between now and then!

Growing up in humanity’s first extrasolar colony, you and your family are
refugees from Earth flung into a new world of wonder and danger. You have your
whole life ahead of you: Will you become an engineer and bring modern
technology to this jurassic planet? Or cultivate the alien plants and live in
harmony with exotic nature? Battle the massive beasts which rule Vertumna, or
nurture future generations of humans?

Your decisions matter; whether to study, learn to play an instrument, obey
your parents or sneak out to explore the hazardous jungle. Adolescence is full
of awkwardness and clumsy mistakes, but everything you learn will make you –
and your colony – stronger. Your memories, decisions and friendships will be
at your side when strife is near, becoming collectible cards used for
everything from taking a math test to escaping the jaws of a wild snapbladder.

A strange connection to an orbiting wormhole causes you to remember events
from your past lives. It’ll take many lives to find every ending and
ultimately a way to save both your colony and the planet.

Exocolonist is going to have this great stuff:

* 1000 story events – too much to experience in one lifetime, but luckily you’ll have many.
* 200 battle cards – loosely based on poker rules, make the best hand from cards like Up to your Knees in Mud (adjacent cards get +1) and Testing on Humans (cards to the right become blue)

* 50 endings – find every way to die, aim to become Governor one day, or live a simple life as a botanist and let others take care of the monster-slaying.
* 25 jobs – goof off behind the counter as a depot clerk, or join a survey team and chart the Valley of Vertigo.
* 15 skills – will you focus on empathy and organization, or train up your toughness and bravery?
* 10 dateable characters – dogboys, aliens, hot politicians and cold-as-ice killers. Can you guess what your childhood friends will grow up to be?

Plus all the basics:

* Acne
* Time loops
* Alien pets
* Growing up
* Dying young
