Full text

Is that your idea of a perfect future or a waking nightmare? In D-topia , it’s both and it’s neither. The gentle new adventure from Marumittu Games, published by Annapurna Interactive , steers clear of easy sci-fi tropes in order to have a more grounded, nuanced discussion about the possibility of a true utopia. Heated debates about AI are softened into a meditative story that posits humanity will always be pliable enough to adapt to a changing world. It’s a nice thought for a cozy game built around manageable puzzle-solving and clear-cut decision-making, but the well-meaning D-topia struggles to meet the reality of the moment it's reflecting on.
