Before We Leave

About

Before We Leave lets you rebuild society across planets in a low-stakes, resource management-driven sim. Guide a community emerging from underground after generations of isolation. Build shelters, farm crops, and expand settlements while balancing energy, food, and population growth. Colonize new planets, uncover relics of a lost civilization, and connect worlds via trade routes. Challenges include environmental hazards and mysterious guardians that test your colonies' stability. The biggest threat? Gigantic space whales that wander by and could devour entire planets if left unchecked. No combat or aggression exists, solutions rely on careful planning and adaptation. Player reviews highlight its relaxing yet strategic depth, with one 10/10 rating noting over 100 hours spent "building huts and watching potatoes grow." The game’s mix of base-building and cosmic curiosity stands out, offering a lighthearted take on interplanetary survival. Available on PC, consoles, and Switch, it caters to casual and methodical players alike with its slow burn and quirky sci-fi charm.
