About This Game

Utopium is a skill-based smack and dash, where every swing of your sledgehammer doubles as a teleporting trick-shot. 3D factory environments tower over hand-drawn 2D characters to the tune of boiler-suit beats. Discover the secrets of the factory and its fallen as you smash your way toward the CEO's palace to enact bloody vengeance.

FLOW STATE COMBAT

Smash the souls out of your enemies and then possess them to appear at their ricocheted position, confusing surrounding enemies and giving you the initiative. Parry, throw, grapple and consume harvested souls to smite your foes with devastating lightning in a highly mobile, highly creative combat experience that defies categorisation.

UNEARTH THE SECRETS OF THE FACTORY

Enter the rusted bowels of a world-spanning factory, and discover its history and its motives, in a setting inspired by the World State of Brave New World, the Oceania of 1984 and the high streets of north-east England. Learn the answer to the questions you've always wondered about:

• what if roombas were beyblades?

• what if ghosts could be possessed by the living?

• can I pet the pagan warbear?

CHOOSE YOUR REBELLION

Enter the spirit world and hear how its denizens responded to the factory's iron fist and concrete boot. Shape the uprising by aligning with one of three spirit guides, and use their unique boons to navigate threats in totally different ways. Sneak past patrols with soma-fueled distractions, slingshot across arenas with a grapple-hammer for break-neck aggression, or feed souls to a pagan war bear to unleash tactical savagery.

TAKE YOUR SOMA, KILL YOUR MIND

Enter the flow state in the survival mode, and engage with the factory in an eternal struggle for freedom (or, more accurately, for points). Unlock additional lore that sheds light on the characters and events of the main story.
