About This Game

STOP TAKING YOUR MEDS, KILL THE CEO, AVENGE ISAMBARD

Utopium is a top-down brawler set in a drug-addled industrial dystopia. The Factory has consumed the earth and - what's worse - it has killed the most beautiful thing you've ever known: Isambard, the pigeon. Avenge him. Refuse your soma, smash your way to the factory's CEO and end his heartless rule.

FLOW STATE COMBAT

Brutality meets billiards: smack the souls out of your enemies with the soul hammer. Ricochet ghosts through the factory and then possess them to appear behind your enemies. Combine with parries, throws and companion boons, and combat becomes a puzzle you solve at speed.

CHOOSE YOUR REBELLION

Enter the spirit world between levels; 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. Biohack to speed up beyond time itself, grapple for bloody hedonistic mayhem, summon a pagan war bear for... help? Hindrance? 

INSIDE THE FACTORY

Utopium's story-telling is light touch by design. Skip every word and you're playing a brawler, read it all and you're getting a primer on the philosophy of industrialisation. Discover the factory's history and its policies, learn the mysteries of the giants, read the manifestos of those who resist. If you are interested in finding literature to read to understand the role of humanity in a technological era, Utopium is a compendium. If you just want to go on a rampage, you're free to do so to the soundtrack of Stringer's techno and a regional UK cast of voice actors.

TAKE YOUR SOMA, KILL YOUR MIND

Play the focused campaign that you can finish in a weekend, then hone your skills in the survival mode. Endless waves, new lore between runs. Stick a podcast on and enter the flow state.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Contains themes and imagery that may not be suitable for all audiences. Includes depictions of:
- Systemic oppression and psychological manipulation in a dystopian industrial society
- Substance use, including a fictional drug ("Soma") used to pacify the population
- Emotional distress, including themes of despair, existential crisis, and spiritual disillusionment
- Mild stylized violence and gore
- Ghosts and scenes involving death or the afterlife

There are no depictions of sexual acts or sexual violence. However, the narrative explores mature philosophical themes around control, obedience, and personal agency, which may be emotionally intense for some players.
