No matter what path you take, the length of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is the same. It doesn’t matter what kind of person you become or what activities you spend your months partaking in, this game ends as soon as you hit your 20th in-game birthday. The game starts on your character’s 10th birthday, so you get 10 in-game years to do whatever you want with.

10 years may not sound like much, but each year on Vertumna (your colony’s home planet) has 5 whole seasons that are each 3 months long (excluding Glow season, which is only one month), and there are 13 months in every year on Vertumna. You definitely won’t be able to get through this game in a day; the length of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is much longer than you think, you shouldn’t be worried about finishing this game too early!
