ABOUT THE GAME
Short description
You are aboard humanity’s first and final generation ship, a last-chance expedition now teetering on the rim of collapse. One step at a time you must rebuild society and the ship’s fragile ecosystems — using only what you brought with you — in this turn-based narrative city-builder.
Long description
Generation Exile is a turn-based city-builder taking place aboard a generation starship where instead of extracting more and more natural resources to meet your populace’s needs, you only have what you brought with you. Rebuild the ship’s fragile ecosystems before the ship reaches the end of its journey. Procedurally generated characters and storylines mean that every journey — spanning several hundred years — will be uniquely yours.
Sustainable Solarpunk City-Builder
- Build and rebuild a functioning city, carefully marshalling scarce resources. Tear down inefficient buildings and use their materials to make better ones!
- Craft a sustainable circular economy, using biological waste to grow new vital resources and repurposing material waste into new structures, tools and technologies.
- Lay out your city to maximize benefits, providing synergies to benefit your population’s wellbeing and to restore the ship’s damaged ecosystems.
- Near-future solarpunk setting anchored in real-world ecological calamities and opportunities.
Your Story Will Be Different From Mine
- The ship’s characters are procedurally generated at the start of playthrough, resulting in a unique cast of NPCs every game.
- Events differ in every playthrough, according to large and small choices you make — and how you treat people.
- Aboard this generation ship, characters will form families and you will get to know them as well as their descendants. Memories pass down through generations, meaning choices you made in the past will be remembered in the future.
