Sintopia - Demo and gameplay trailer for the diabolical construction game

Developer Piraknights Games and publisher Team17 Digital have recently released the first gameplay trailer for Sintopia, a mix of building and god game with asymmetrical gameplay. The trailer shows game mechanics and the fun atmosphere of the game.

In Sintopia, players take on the role of a hell administrator and are responsible for managing and punishing the souls who have been banished from the upper world due to their sins. But let's start from the beginning: The gameplay of Sintopia is divided into two main areas: the overworld and the underworld. In the Overworld, players observe a civilisation of beings who commit sins through their actions. As an infernal administrator, you use magic to influence this world, for example by casting spells to encourage or punish certain types of behaviour.

In the underworld, players shape hell according to their own ideas. The aim is to generate profit by efficiently ‘re-educating’ souls and expanding the infernal empire. Sintopia is somewhat reminiscent of Peter Molyneux's classic Black & White - it's nice that the concept has now been taken a step further.

Demo now available - and more content is planned

The current demo already shows you a lot of the game - both the overworld and the hellish game mechanics of the underworld. Although Sintopia is still in the pre-alpha stage, the basic ideas and the game's humour can already be experienced as a demo on stream. Find out more here in the trailer.
