Thurs, 21st August - Team17 have brought a trio of terrifically diverse titles to Gamescom this year with Sintopia, a God sim management game comprising a mix of the scintillation and bureaucracy, ROCKBEASTS, the story-driven, management game where you manage a messy band and Good Boy, an ode to all the pets we've loved set on a planet rife with life and mystery.
For those that long for the golden age of God sim management titles, with a spicy fresh twist, Sintopia takes inspiration from games like Black and White and Theme Hospital, blending them into an ingeniously hot (in every sense) game by making it Hell! A fiery realm where you are tasked with processing souls in chaotically, humorous ways. Sintopia will be available to play at Team17’s booth located in Hall 6 / B-060.
As part of Awesome Indies, Lichthund have created ROCKBEASTS, a nostalgia pumped, dark comedy story featuring the legendary Iggy Pop, crafted by the writer of Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Blood of Dawnwalker. Featuring 100 hand drawn characters and 90 locations, ROCKBEASTS will see you pick the venue, prep the set and make sure it all goes according to plan. Pull it off and the band might just finally take those first steps to fame and glory. You can play ROCKBEASTS in Hall 10.2, Stand F-031 during Gamescom.
In Good Boy, LAIKA welcomes you on your journey to the alien planet of Terra II. Equipped with your very own Space Rover, we're looking forward to seeing all you capture as you sniff out and investigate various regions of the planet and research the lifeforms that inhabit it.
You will encounter other Rovers and in the interest of solidarity we would encourage you to complete quests for them and most importantly forge a bond with your new Human friend, as you uncover the ancient mysteries of the planet.
You can stay up to date with all titles by following Team17 on Steam
