Craft a brand-new life

As the title of the game suggests, Utopia No.8 lets you create your own version of utopia as you step into the chibi shoes of your toy-like avatar and start a new life on a distant planet. You can forge bonds with like-minded individuals across the globe via audio and video chat, as well as join in on parties to expand your social circle within the game.

For those of you who are less of a social butterfly, you can kick back and relax by collecting resources, logging, and - as is the fan-fave activity in social games like this - fishing all your troubles away.

Look and live the way you want

You can also let your avatar express your unique personality by customising it to suit your tastes best. You can craft costumes and dishes and trade these masterpieces on the market as well - you can even send these as a gift to your online buddies across the globe.

Of course, living a new life means having a place you can call home, and the lands of Utopia No.8 are ripe for the taking. You can build your own house, nurture your garden, run a store, or even open your own amusement park.

Indulge in an idyllic farm life

Speaking of business opportunities, you can build your own ranch and make your farm flourish. You'll be able to raise animals and give them plenty of TLC while collecting dairy, eggs and produce on a regular basis. You can also grow your own crops, chop up some wood, collect stones and more.

At the end of the day, you can take advantage of each new season and make the most of your harvest by sharing your resources with your friends.

Bond with a different kind of pet

In Utopia No.8, you can raise your lovable pet PIYA and enjoy a special boost when it comes to collecting resources. Nurturing your virtual pal can buff up your intimacy as well - you can even send your PIYA to have its own adventure in the wild to boost its abilities. And if you're feeling a little bit competitive, you can put your PIYA against others at the PIYA Arena in City Center for the ultimate glory.

The game is currently in the works, with an official release sometime in 2025. In the meantime, the game’s developer will be launching a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter in early April. Alpha testing is planned in June this year, whilst Beta tests will start opening next year; if you're eager to sign up to test the game, or you simply wish to follow its developments, be sure to head on over to the official website for more info. You can also join the growing Utopia No.8 community on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord.
