D-topia

boring......

Un excellent jeu qui en plus d'être très beau et d'avoir un gameplay original est très ancré dans la réalité actuelle, avec de beaux messages de tolérance et d'entre-aide. Attention, pas un jeu de speed runners ;-)

D-Topia is an absolute delight of an indie game. It's a relaxing narrative experience with simple yet engaging puzzles (that can become very challenging), endearing characters with fascinating backstories, and a message about the future that is surprisingly human and uplifting. The writing is simple yet charming - it feels like it's written in a way so that even kids can fully comprehend it. And I think that's a great thing. Yet that doesn't mean it doesn't cover sensitive or serious topics. It was honestly surprising how serious some of the game's themes are. It beautifully walks the line between bleak and hopeful, truly immersing you in the kind of future it depicts. And what's most refreshing about it is that it approaches it in a very mature and honest way. Oftentimes these days, I feel like whenever a piece of media is known for, or tries to take credit for, sensitive/serious topics or themes, it approaches them in very inauthentic ways. It's either some sort of romanticization or oversimplification of the topic at hand - being either purposely over-the-top, having forced "deep" or emotional moments, or some sort of shock value. It feels underhanded, with the sole intention of grabbing your attention and an (often successful attempt) at being sensational. D-Topia is not like that; it is one of the rare pieces of media, especially narrative indie games, that is just so honest and tells its story without being loud, obnoxious, or just plain wrong. Though approached so simply, all the stories in D-Topia felt incredibly real and human, some of them really tugging at my heartstrings and almost making me tear up. The characters are all likable yet complex, allowing you to feel multiple ways about them - but above all will be the need to see them happy. Even ones I didn't think I'd gain an interest in were fascinating once I got to know them, and once I heard what they had to say. I also went into this game somewhat wary of the story it was trying to tell: about a utopia that is overseen by a godlike Artificial Intelligence. With how sensitive the topic is nowadays, I was uncertain which direction the game would go, and what kind of message it would have, but I was actually really happy with what the game had to say - and I encourage people to go into it blind. I have so far only played what I'm assuming is the good route (or as the achievement refers to it, "happy ending"), but I can say that it truly focuses on the important parts of the topic, and the philosophy it shares is one that made me walk away from the game with a happier, more understanding, and more accepting outlook on our potentially bleak and worrisome future. When it comes to gameplay, it probably isn't for everyone - sure. That's true for any game. And this game is definitely a walking simulator, where most of what you're doing is interacting with objects and reading, with the occasional bouts of puzzles. But I think even within its niche, D-Topia really does stand out. Unlike the other games that typically fall in this category, D-Topia truly does to me feel like a "cozy" game. Games like farming simulators and the like I feel are rarely truly cozy - they're usually so stressful in my opinion, and full of tasks that take up a lot of initiative, momentum, and mental workload (like working hard to design or decorate an island or farm). D-Topia to me is very different. Its focus is none of those things, yet it truly does feel relaxing to play, like it's forcing you to slow down and experience it for what it is. It's a game design philosophy that is really refreshing to see nowadays, especially when everything is trying to grab your attention or maximize replayability, or just be "number go up". D-Topia feels like exactly what I'd expect an "indie" game to be like and feel like - a narrative, somewhat cinematic experience that isn't trying too hard to be something bigger than what it is: a simple game meant to bring about joy.

SO fun i completely lost track of time. few things i wish for: ability to change color of your home, being able to use the things in the room (ie the music player,) the ability to pet Osushi, and maybe mild Customization of Shiro (nothing crazy, i like how he's kinda his own guy, yk?)

먼저 뭔가 하드하고 참신한 퍼즐 게임을 기대한다면 추천을 못한다 퍼즐은 아주 라이트하게 스토리 진행의 관문정도의 역할을 하며, 주된 내용은 D-토피아 내에서 커뮤니케이션을 다룬다. 중반부터는 가볍게 생각 해볼 만한 토픽도 가져오고 아트도 시원시원하며 가볍게 즐기기에 나쁘지 않았던 게임이였다.

Dtopia is a amazing experience of a game, the vibe and music are relaxing and you quickly feel part of the world, the topic the game covered are deep and interesting and has without a doubt some of the best writing i have been in a long time in any game, cannot recommend this game enough but be warned the topics can be very real and hit hard, a few times it left me and my partner getting into deeper philosophical conversation on morality

A delightful game with many deep questions and an interesting setting. It didn't seem too difficult to achieve the good ending. Just be aware there is also a bad ending and a normal ending, if you want to avoid those. The puzzles are fun, too!
