** Sol originally had [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CESHMecHtAt/ a rebellious older sister named Ves.]] She would've run away during Year 4 because she refused to participate in the colony's SuperBreedingProgram, which was also cut from the game but is still mentioned in Tang's friendship/romance route.

** [[https://northwaygames.com/exocolonist-original-design-docs/ Sarah Northway's original design docs]] for the game reveals some early concepts:
*** Anemone would've dated Vace only if you don't date her, when in the final game, she always dates him regardless of what you do, and you need to break them up first if you want to pursue them.
*** Tang would've been blonde.
*** Marz's sexual escapades would've been more evident in her romance arc, where she first dates the Head of Construction, then dumps him for the Head Gatherer, and then dumps ''him'' for another politician if you don't date her. She also originally had straight dark brown hair, while the rejected suitors became Rex, Utopia, and Lum, respectively.
*** Cal originally had curly brown hair and brown skin and also practiced an Islamic faith.
*** There's a spreadsheet of cut characters such as the aforementioned Ves, while Besk was supposed to be alive at some point in the game, which is why [[DummiedOut her data can be found in its files.]] She along with Anemone's triplet brothers are only mentioned in passing in the final product.
*** The game was originally going to have farming and colony sim elements, but they were cut to focus more on the narrative and characters. The overworld map was also going to be cut, but ultimately it was kept to set the game apart from other visual novels.

** Kay and Yu were originally part of an eight-couple ensemble (most of whom have been revealed through [[https://www.tumblr.com/trcelyneart/676107459794976768/what-haven-could-have-been-i-received-the-artbook concept art in the artbook]]) with a diverse range of relationships and their own vehicles. This was ultimately scaled back due to the immense amount of work that implementing so many characters would have involved, although Aquen, one of the cut female characters, would be recycled into Kay's mate (for her demo-exclusive appearance anyway), and the concept would serve as inspiration for the [[GayOption same-sex relationship options]] introduced in the Couple Update.

** In the game's spritesheet, there are a ''lot'' of unused sprites. The most notable ones are a giant octopus with a man's face[[labelnote:*]]Which was likely going to be used for the [[HiddenElfVillage Fishman Village]], according to the Kickstarter[[/labelnote]], Dick wearing yellow instead of pink, Percy tied up wearing makeup[[labelnote:*]]which implies he was meant to be "the woman" in the Men's Hair Club instead of Fardy[[/labelnote]], a giant, mutated Brad covered in hair[[labelnote:*]]a reference to the giant, hairy Marty blob at the end of ''LISA: The First''[[/labelnote]], a photo of Brad and [[spoiler:Rando before he was retooled to be Brad's adopted son]], and Queen dancing while wearing a pink bikini[[labelnote:*]]these sprites were used in one of the first trailers, back when he was a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Princess Peach]] parody and presumably a non-recruitable NPC[[/labelnote]].
