Annapurna Interactive, the publisher of acclaimed titles such as Stray and Outer Wilds, today unveiled an intriguing new project: D-topia. Developed by the Japanese Marumittu Games, it is a puzzle adventure that will immerse us in a future where happiness is entirely managed and taken care of by an artificial intelligence.

In the game, we will take on the role of a "Facilitator", a maintenance worker in the residential structure of D-topia. Our task will be to take care of the concerns of citizens, solve puzzles and discover the secrets behind a seemingly perfect society, created with the aim of maximizing the well-being of humanity.

The game experience is described as a slow-paced and reflective adventure, focused on exploration and complex choices that, as the narrative progresses, will reveal the human side of this world. We will have to use logic to fix mechanical failures through satisfying puzzles, keep the facilities operational and get to know the exuberant residents, earning their trust to discover their personal stories and difficulties.

But what will happen when the problems go beyond simple mechanical logic? Our decisions will affect the well-being of residents and the very future of humanity in unexpected ways, driving this utopia towards joy or despair. To do so, we will move between two parallel worlds: a public and carefree reality and the "Block Side", a hidden and miserable area, where we will have to correct anomalies and reveal dark secrets.

D-topia is expected in 2026; Here is the announcement trailer and a set of images.
