About Dystopia

Splash screen for Dystopia (older version).

Dystopia is a free multiplayer game, a total conversion of Half-Life 2, developed by Puny Human (formerly Team Dystopia). The game places players into tense combat situations in its own cyberpunk universe. Assuming the roles of either the Punk factionists or Corporate security forces, they battle against each other in a number of detailed environments, and must complete unique objectives to win. Fighting takes place in both the physical world (known commonly as meatspace), and a three-dimensional manifestation of computer networks, called cyberspace.

On October 3, 2023 Puny Human announced it's Closure Press Release. On  Puny Human Discord they said:

A few quick points on this:
Blade Symphony, Dystopia and Galacide development have effectively stopped. I'm working on investigating selling intellectual properties (likely Galacide,) and open-sourcing others (likely Blade Symphony and Dystopia.)

However, I will be supporting all titles as best as possible, by keeping websites and services running. I'll also be supporting any community tournaments or events that go on, by serving as a social media force multiplier for you. Just reach out to me directly!
