About This Game

Utopium is a short, narrative-driven top-down brawler. A factory has consumed the earth and - what's worse - it has killed a pigeon. Avenge him. Refuse to take your meds, carve your way through to the factory's CEO and end his heartless rule.

FLOW STATE COMBAT

Smash the souls out of your enemies with the ancient spirit hammer. Ricochet these souls through the factory and then possess them to appear behind your enemies. Parry; throw; grapple; consume souls to smite foes with lightning.

UNEARTH THE SECRETS OF THE FACTORY

Enter the rusted bowels of a world-spanning factory.

• Meet its lingering dead and hear their fully voice acted stories.

• Discover lore about its many sectors and characters.

• Unearth the mystery of the giants and the soma that is extracted from their marrow.

Utopium features light touch storytelling that can be ignored, on the one extreme, or treated as a primer on the philosophy of industrialisation on the other.

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. Freeze your perception of time with bio-hacked soma, 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. Unlock additional lore that sheds light on the characters and events of the main story. Ideal as a podcast companion mode.

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.
