Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that Early Access is the best way to go about releasing Teenage Wasteland, as it will allow players to get first-hand experience with the game as it develops, and give real-time feedback that can help the game become the BEST game it can be! On top of that, the game is a BIG RPG, with multiple large locations filled with quests, activities, characters, etc. We plan to release the game in segments, with each major update featuring a brand new side of the town the game takes place in, beginning with the north side.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We believe that the game will most likely be in Early Access for around 1-2 years, with major updates hopefully coming in every 6-8 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version to feature every side of town, as well as the full story, that won't be featured in the Early Access. It will feature everything that we plan on releasing as of right now, such as side quests, perks, skills, companion quests, animations, etc. We will be frequently updating people via social media on all the things we hope to release!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game's first phase of EA is currently in development, with the north side of town being the major focus (quests, art, music, animations, etc.). We hope to release this update sometime in the first half of 2026.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We currently plan on the full game being priced either the same, or similarly, to the EA release - we believe even the first release of Early Access will feature enough content to warrant being priced as such!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan on starting a Discord that people can join, where they can share stories of the game, reviews, ideas, etc. As well as that, we will be holding polls via social media and Steam that people can join in on!”

About This Game

Summer vacation has only just begun, and the town of Northsouth has descended into chaos! The nerds and goths are at war with the jocks and bullies, the LARPers are running around with capes and foam bats, the dropouts are tagging whatever they can, and the outcasts... Well, the outcasts just want to be left alone.

You play as the "drifter": a new teen in town with the ability to fit in with ANY clique - through your actions, you will decide the fate of Northsouth, and EVERY teen within it!

Numbers and stats are for nerds! Teenage Wasteland is built around its robust "Trait" system, sporting over 60 unlockable traits that affect gameplay, dialogue, and choices!

Every single trait is a character - they have opinions, and will often commentate on any given situation you may find yourself in. They even have relationships with one another, so be careful what traits you decide to recruit! Some may not get along...


  • Five companions that feel alive! Frank, May, Mickey, Demonica and Audrey are some of the most fleshed-out followers in indie RPG HISTORY! They react differently to everything you do, have thousands of lines of dialogue, can change the outcome of quests, and they each have their own questline!

  • Every NPC is a character - there are no repeated lines of dialogue between NPCs in the entire game - every teen has something unique to say or do, and almost every object has a description or event tied to it. Click everyone and eveything!

  • Be the teen YOU want to be! Do you wanna be a meathead jock? A snidey nerd? A sadistic jerk? A rebellious anarchist? An eccentric freak who licks walls and eats sand? In TW, you can be any of these things! Or, none of them! Or, all of them!! 

  • Unlock traits never-before-seen in gaming, such as [Hyperactive], [Kiss-Ass], [Intrusive Thought], [Drama Queen], [Theatre Kid], [Stoner], and who could forget [Debbie Downer]?!

  • Relive the 2000's teen experience in a hugely detailed open world - visit the video store, chill at the skatepark, hang out at the Internet café - the world of Teenage Wasteland will make you say "wow, this was 20 years ago? Jeez, I'm getting old..."
