Before We Leave

Before We Leave is a nonviolent city-building game featuring 4X themes. Before We Go is similar to Anno 1800 light. It's all about building colonies on islands and then expanding your empire to new places and, eventually, new planets. Because each island has its own distinct characteristics like as weather and soil quality, your first priority should always be to develop good trade routes between them all so that every Peep in your empire has access to the goods they need to be happy and healthy. It's also non-violent, so all you have to do is enjoy watching your planet flourish.

Players control a group of civilians known as Peeps as they flee a bunker. Players guide the Peeps as they rebuild on the ruins of a fallen civilization after investigating the area. Sustaining satisfaction levels by meeting the requirements of the Peeps boosts their efficiency, reducing the amount of time required for activities to be completed. The ultimate goal of the game is for the Peeps to build up their society to the point when they can launch themselves into space and conquer other planets. The Peeps must deal with space whales in order to accomplish this.
