D-topia is a sci-fi adventure set in The Utopia Project, in which artificial intelligence appears to have succeeded in fostering a perfect version of civilization (I have my doubts about that). As a maintenance worker, you'll help out residents with their problems and fix mechanical foibles by solving puzzles. The game features a branching narrative that you shape with your decisions.There are companions to rescue as well.
I played a demo of D-topia last year and dug it. The clean, sanitized aesthetic reminds me a bit of Mirror's Edge and I enjoyed the gentle, but mildly pointed, tone. I'd like to check out the full version at some point, even if the logic puzzles might leave me scratching my head.
