Good news, Administrators!We’ve had a sneak peek of some big upcoming changes, straight from the desk of The Chairman himself (shhhhh, don’t tell him we told you). Next month, we'll be adding a major Quality of Life update to Sintopia, featuring a new facility, new tools, balancing changes, and much more. These should make your career in Hell, and the daily influx of new sinful souls, a lot easier to manage.Are you yet to sign on the dotted line? Become the newest Administrator of Hell Inc right now and save 20% off Sintopia. There’s never been a better time to start your middle management car

Hello Administrators,Sintopia has been out for less than a week and we've seen a massive amount of players thoroughly enjoy themselves in the game's world and the inner workings of the hellish administration, and for that, we sincerely thank you, It fills our deviant hearts with pride to finally share the game with you all!However, we are aware that the game has some quirks/issues that lead to difficulty rising faster than the player's learning curve.

Sintopia, the very Bullfroggy strategy management game from developers Piraknights and publishers Team 17, will release on April 16th. I compared this one to The Screwtape Letters back at announcement, but the more obvious, gamer-brain pitch is that it's Black & White sitting on top of Dungeon Keeper. That is, a god sim parked on top of a management game, albeit with a greater emphasis on automation than you might recall from Bullfrog's heyday. In Sintopia, you are the middle manager of Hell. Above you, there is a bucolic, self-sufficient realm of weirdly plant-based humans, all going about th
