Overview
Petit Planet's universe is divided into multiple galaxies with distinct cultural identities. Each galaxy has its ownNeighborresidents and environmental aesthetics. The game's design philosophy states that"no two planets should be the same, even if they share similar characteristics."Players can visit each other's planets across galaxies, and shared spaces like theGalactic Bazaarbring the community together.
Starting Choice
At the beginning of the game, players choose between two starting galaxies:
Galaxy | Region name | Climate |

Taffeh | Golden Prairie | Hot and dry |
This choice determines the initial environment and appearance of the player's planet. The role of Norvanya as a starting choice or a separately explorable region remains unclear.
