Sintopia Announces Release Date With Free Demo

Sintopia has finally been given an Early Access release date, but before that, the game is going to release a free demo this Summer



Article Summary

  • Sintopia launches in Early Access on September 4, developed by Piraknights Games and published by Team17.
  • A free demo for Sintopia will be available this summer, likely debuting during Steam Next Fest.
  • Rule over Hell as an administrator, managing Imployees and punishing sinful souls for profit.
  • Sintopia blends God game sandbox mechanics with deep management sim systems in a 1980s pop culture hellscape.

Developer Piraknights Games and publisher Team17 confirmed an Early Access release date for Sintopia, but not before the game gets a free demo. Without really saying it outright, it seems like we're going to get a demo during Steam Next Fest, which will likely show off a small portion of what you've seen in the latest trailer here. However, the game will eventually hit EA on September 4.

Sintopia

In Sintopia, you will demonstrate your hellish existence to Humus, who is populating the Overworld by casting spells and influencing sins. Reign over your rabble of Imployees in the bureaucratic administration of Hell as they punish the dead souls, generating profit to help you build and sustain your Hellish empire! Sintopia mixes all the sandbox fun of a God game with the deep systems and processes of a management sim, all packaged in a 1980s pop culture hellscape.

Being the administrator of Hell comes with many perks. Some of these include the ability to wield administrative magic to influence the world above you. One of the Humu is getting a bit too sinful, or just walking too slow for your liking time to give them some "motivation" with the Zap spell or setting their house on fire with them inside it. The choice is yours. Mold the caves of Hell to your own deepest and darkest desires. Yes, there will be paperwork, but one of the Imployees you hire will take care of it. You need more time to live out your hellish architect fantasies. Make sure your souls go through an effective "re-education" to avoid a buildup of their Sins across many lives… no one wants to face the demonic invasion that will inevitably result from having too much corruption in the world. So keep an eye on those levels, or your efficiency scores will take a hit and, more importantly, your profits. It's a true abomination.
