Press release:
September 30th.
The Novosibirsk-based (Russia) indie games publisher and developer Alawar together with Tomsk-based (Siberia) indie games developer Yustas, are today super thrilled and happy to announce that their city-building/card game “Technotopia“, is coming to PC via Steam on October 16th, 2024.

As the AI architect Iris, you’ll build towering skyscrapers and manage competing factions—all in your quest to construct the perfect city. In Technotopia, every decision shapes the future, and every card played could be the difference between utopia or ruin.

In Technotopia, you’ll navigate the complexities of a futuristic city on the brink of collapse. Armed with a unique deck of cards, you’ll build districts, solve urban dilemmas, and mediate between four powerful factions—capitalists, aristocrats, politicians, and the common people. Each faction has its own ambitions, and balancing their needs while keeping your city thriving is no small feat. On top of that, fires, gang activity, and natural disasters will test your leadership as you shape the future of your metropolis.

Players eager to build their utopias can wishlist Technotopia on Steam ahead of its October 16th release. Stay up to date by checking out the Steam News Hub, as well as by following Alawar on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and joining the official Alawar Discord server to keep up with the latest news.

Key Features:

Build a Perfect City: Manage the deck of cards with buildings at your disposal. Use the cards to build skyscrapers, parks, residential districts, and transportation highways.

Maintain the Delicate Balance: Capitalists, aristocrats, politicians, and the common people are fighting to establish their authority and control over the city. Try to maintain the balance needed for a truly perfect city.

Navigating Obstacles: Address the random events that could be triggered by constructing buildings, such as fires, gangs that have taken control of some districts, and the processes of city life. Listen to the factions to solve urban problems, but be wary of the consequences.’
