Before We Leave is a non-violent city building game set on multiple planets in your own cozy corner of the universe.
Your people emerge from a long period hidden underground and they’ve forgotten the world above. Rebuild civilization back to what it once was by building huts, harvesting potatoes and expanding your reborn society to other continents and eventually other planets. Manage resources, discover ancient tech and create a multi-planet network of colonies to thrive in your solar system.

And most of all, watch out for vast planet-eating space whales coming to graze on your planets!
