Manage Hell. Manipulate the Overworld. Build the resurrection business of your dreams! In Sintopia, you’re tasked with managing the bureaucratic administration of Hell: “re-educate” the sinful, generate profit, play god and expand your hellish empire. All part of a day’s work at Hell Incorporated.

You take over the bureaucratic administration of Hell, where deceased people arrive as souls carrying sins from their lives. Your job is to process those souls, manage the underworld’s facilities and keep its business running.
Build treatment facilities and paths, then use filters and branching routes to direct souls according to their sins. Purifying them earns resources and can send them back to the Overworld; unchecked sin can create demons. Hire staff and balance wages, upkeep and processing capacity.
The Overworld’s people act largely on their own, but you can influence events with divine powers and other indirect interventions. Their lives and deaths feed the underworld’s system. Play through a story campaign, take on challenge scenarios or set up a customizable sandbox.
Players who enjoy Sintopia often praise the hands-on planning of Hell’s paths and facilities, especially the satisfaction of getting souls to flow efficiently. They also highlight the contrast between underworld automation and indirect influence over the Overworld, along with the game’s comic writing, detailed style and entertaining campaign. Some reviewers find the systems demanding to learn and the balance unforgiving, while opinions differ on how enjoyable the Overworld is.
Hell is full. Bureaucracy is eternal. And you’re in charge. Sintopia is a darkly comedic strategy and management sim where you run the underworld’s most dysfunctional punishment facility. As a freshly promoted middle manager of Hell Incorporated, your job is simple: “re-educate” sinners, resurrect the worthy, and turn eternal damnation into an optimized business machine.
Build sin processing facilities, perfect their automation, manage hellish “imployees,” and maintain a thriving Overworld… or show the Humus who’s really in charge by flexing your divine power. Shape your underworld empire across multiple layers of Hell and decide what kind of deity you want to be… merciful, efficient, or deliciously petty.
Build a devilishly efficient underworld to process the endless stream of sinful souls arriving from above. Punish souls to turn a profit and expand your capabilities or divine influence. Hire eclectic imployees to keep the paperwork flowing… just make sure they’re paid on time.
Uphold a thriving Overworld to maintain the cycle of resurrection. As Hell’s administrator, you can use your divine powers to “motivate” the living to do your bidding. Nothing like a bolt of lightning or a spontaneous inferno to spur the Humus population into action.
Souls accumulate sins across their many lifetimes. Keep an eye on these levels and build specialized purification centres to stop corruption from spiralling out of control. Otherwise, you may have a monstrous demon on your hands or even worse, a devastating hit to your efficiency… truly diabolical.
Office politics has never been so dangerous! Enact biblical-level corporate intrigues in the story-based campaign mode. Test your organizational mettle in Challenge Mode. Perfect the art of Hell building or slack-off for the day in the fully customizable Sandbox Mode.
