This isn't a bad game, it's just not a game for me, or adults. I would call this a narrative/walking sim with some extremely simple puzzle elements, rather than a puzzle game. Easily more than half of the time you are playing is dedicated to painfully slow, simple conversations designed to be understood by a 5 year old (or younger). An example of the conversations in this game go something like this. "Hi …

Got the "happy ending" achievement on my first run-through. I liked the game; the setting is interesting, and the characters are likeable. Some of the decision-making sequences are a bit confusing because there is no back button, but at least most paths have a bailout option at the end. You can also just quit the game and continue from the autosave. The puzzles are very easy. For someone not accustomed to logic …

In a nutshell, it's a Japanese civil servant simulator. My initial expectation was this would have been a game where you must overthrow a dystopian society masquerading as a utopia. I was pleasantly surprised when this was not the case. The game is very sweet and some moments are absolutely heart-wrenching. Every chapter presents a unique conflict that challenges the protagonist's (your) humanity. The puzzle element …

IMO this is a perfect game that made my time spent playing enjoyable. Really polished, simpe yet engaging gameplay, memorable characters and great lore. Nothing bad to be said.

The nonchalant vibes of this game's far-flung future are both cozy and melancholic. Sometimes, the story pulls back the curtain on the dystopia, but as things progress, utopia and dystopia become ambiguous concepts. It makes you think without overthinking. Dialogue is very concise, exploring plausible sci-fi issues, yet not getting bogged down by overexplaining. I highly recommend talking to every NPC to fully …

86% of the 69 Steam reviewers we collected recommend D-topia. The complaint that keeps coming up: dialogue can be slow and overly simplistic. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The puzzles feel similar to The Witness, except there aren't nearly as many, some of them don't *quite* make sense (later on) and you're forced to talk to a lot of boring people, slowly, all of whom are totally obsessed with themselves. It's probably part of the narrative, but so far it's been so heavy-handed that I expect there's a "twist" that absolutely everyone will see coming. I'll finish it out, but unless it changes massively before the end, I think it's going to be one of those games…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disappointing. This game heavily relies on it's narrative and characters, and fails at using either to actually rope me in. I thought this would have been a more cutting story, one with difficult choices and compelling antagonists. This is not that. This is a walking simulator with a very vanilla and un-original take on the concept of the "Utopia". Gameplay is boring and repetitive. You wake up, do a series of 'puzzles', fix issues with utopia, get railroaded through easy black-and-white…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Captivating, Absolutely Japanese, and Fun. But Far From Perfect. I really enjoyed this game quite a bit. It also frustrated me just as much, so I was torn on rating it. I still think it's worth a play if you would enjoy mild philosophical ponderings of civilization and its morality. D-topia really carries you along a for a glimpse into one futuristic possibility of the human race's existence. Albeit the daily progress is rather down-to-earth, the game throws quite a powerful curveball later in…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good & accessible game for children. Narrative for all ages. ATLUS's Persona minus the RPG elements. Gameplay is a life/social sim (mostly walking around and talking to others) + puzzle, similar to how Persona is life/social sim + RPG. Puzzles are almost non-essential for narrative progression and the harder ones are optional. The "end-of-chapter" reviews consists of questions with very obvious correct answers that honestly feels more like a literacy test to check if you've been paying…

positive · AI labelView post →Beyond Moonlight Peaks, Denshattack!, and D-Topia, there are some interesting indies coming out this month that seem kinda beneath the radar.
neutral · AI labelView post →The puzzles were nice, but the world/plot/characters all felt like a big missed opportunity! It could have been something heavy hitting. There was a lot of potential, it seemed. There were hints that this utopic dream was meeting an inevitable collapse, that there would be some drama and difficult decisions down the track, but instead the game always gives you a peaceful option and then suddenly ends

neutral · AI labelView post →A cute, enjoyable, and extremely Japanese game that provides an intriguing idea of humanity's far future: far from perfect, but with an undeniably optimistic tone. The gameplay itself is pretty simple: there are several types of puzzles (some of the optional ones can be quite challenging, though most are fairly easy), there is a roamable overworld (including the 'block side' mechanic which I found very fun), and there is dialogue and affinity with a dozen or so 'main friends', including…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just finished playing the game and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed all the puzzles and the story. The artwork of both sides is really interesting. I wish there was a way to keep playing after the story ends so I can keep spending time with the characters.

neutral · AI labelView post →Not amused - it quickly becomes a walking simulator, where you have to talk to a lot of NPC's, and you feel like your going nowhere. The puzzles while fun in the beginning became a drag for me fast. So much in fact that I doubt I'll ever finish the game. Shame since I really liked the idea itself as well as the artstyle. If you must own this game, wait for a sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →D-Topia is a nice little puzzle game, slow paced in a world centuries after today where humans live in some probably space stations controled by AI. When I saw this, I must say I expected a much bigger scope on what would be the story with this lore and what we see (D-topia : dystopia, AI control, we see quite early that people basically have implants that "trick" their senses to see, smell and feel things that doesn't exist in reality so that they are happy) which would be a huge ground for…

neutral · AI labelView post →Game #18: D-Topia! This picture doesn't do the game justice, but is my favorite part. D-Topia was a fascinating game with a lot of heavy themes around AI, Utilitarianism, and being human... sort of? I enjoyed the experience, but felt it could have been more. Solid experience with some replayability.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you like story games and puzzle games, this is a game you may enjoy, for twice the price it should be. With being able to play the full game in less than 10 hours it makes me wonder how you can justify costing 20 dollars, and the puzzle aspect is uninspired at best with very little growth as you go through the game, new mechanics being shown... barely, you're better off going for the "sit on every bench" achievement honestly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been playing D-Topia. It's an incredible game. Beautiful environments, the worldbuilding is thought-provoking. Come for the clever math puzzles, stay for the storytelling and moral dilemmas.
positive · AI labelView post →I don't usually make negative reviews, but I felt I needed with this one. I wanted to like this game, but it has a good premise with really bad implementation. They have so many possibilities, but make a story with the depth of a puddle. The puzzles are easy and, ok, they don't have to be sooo complex, but they just feel...disconnected? And somethings really didn't have to be there for how simple it is. Like this brain meeting which looks like you're teaching logic to a 10 year old. And the…

neutral · AI labelView post →Really cute game. Great aesthetic, fun puzzles, and neat character designs. You can tell a lot of love was poured into it. My only complaint: the end of the game is hard to navigate. There is no clear indication to the user when an event will be a point of no return, which really sucks when you are trying to 100% relationships. Also, it would be nice to have multiple saves.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a surprising amount of world building for what seems like a Japanese Civil Servant Simulator. The characters are well written and the game's length is short and sweet. A lot of the scenarios really did make me think about life and my place in the universe.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm having such a good time with D-Topia. It's just a relaxing game and I'm absolutely in love with the food models. They're so cute. Makes me want to try doing some hand-painted food models, too.
positive · AI labelView post →20+ hours and I find the reply value great. Each playthrough I'm trying to finish achievements or to see something new. Or if I forget something--the chapter select is very handy. A nice game to whine down to at the end of the day.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A story-focused sci-fi adventure game about a utopia/dystopia. Very nice visuals, some cool ideas, the story and characters are interesting, although can be silly at times (the whole lore around clones was a huge challenge for my suspension of disbelief - and I'm a JRPG fan, mind, there aren't many people more deluded than us). There are puzzles, yes, most of which can be skipped, but the majority of gameplay is walking around and talking to people. Fun and well-made but lacks "something" that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I heard a new game from Annapurna was out and immediately bought it. It did not disappoint! Plot-heavy RPG, puzzles, cute animals, relationship points, philosophy, collectibles, multiple endings... all my jam. If you like these things too, I'm sure you'll like this game. Takes about 8 hours for one playthrough.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a great way to spend the weekend. Chilling out, some light puzzles, and some exploration of humanity, utopia, and AI. Definitely worth the money i spent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the type of cozy game I really enjoy. The puzzles are fun and satisfying to complete without ever being frustrated. But the real reason to keep playing is the characters you get to meet. I wasn’t expecting to get so many choices and possible branching paths in this game as well. But the themes of inclusiveness and how happiness is not the same for everyone and that’s ok were presented in a way that I found endearing. If you are looking for a cozy puzzle and narrative game give this a…

This is a hidden choose-your-own adventure gem within the aesthetic of a futuristic Frutiger Aero world with well-designed and written characters and consequences that make you regret doing the bad choice: a.k.a. the perfect game for me.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The puzzle were nice, but navigating the world and speaking to the characters was frustrating and slow.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoy this game. I'm still playing through, but it's a very chill, relaxing game to play after a hard day of work and after tending to family duties. Really enjoy the slow pace of it, the characters are fun, the music is nice, and the puzzles are enough for me. Additionally, I -really- enjoy the little food models in the game. It's probably my favorite part!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very philosophical, and I appreciate that the setting is leaning on the optimistic side of achieving a utopia for humanity, while still posing questions of what a utopia really means. Gameplay is simple, some puzzles are thinkers but not impossible to solve by yourself. The characters are nice, they provide a lens into how some people would still suffer and be left out in a well-meaning society. The game is a bit slow though. I wish there's an option to skip cutscenes or increase…

It is a lot more slice-of-life than I originally thought, but between beautiful imagery, moral dilemmas and intriguing characters with evolving personalities, I felt myself roped in to this universe and played it exclusively (which is very rare for me) I loved finding the mice and solving their puzzles, and the balance between the types of puzzles kept it fresh.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute enough game, only about 10 real hours of content if you like exploring and talking to unimportant NPCs. Basically a graphic novel with puzzles. The three endings remind me of Undertale's pacifist, neutral, and genocide endings. You basically make the morally right choice everywhere, make the morally wrong choice everywhere, or sacrifice some for the last achievement. The story didn't have quite the impact I was hoping for, and lots of dialog gets repeated across good and bad choices.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →D-Topia is a comfy cozy puzzle game with adventure elements. The puzzles are in the very easy to easy difficulty, so nobody should have actual problems solving them. Solving puzzles gives you money that you can use to buy decorations for your home or differend food items or meals. To my mind the games biggest point is the story, or better the story that isn't directly told. The directly told story points are all slice-of-life like sequences with a set of about 10 different characters with…
